OTAKON 2007 FOUR (fourth of four videos) MORE Saturday never-ending play and then.

OTAKON 2007 ONE: (the first of four videos) Thursday, July 19 Registration Day through Friday's first chaos beginning. For anime and manga fans, this is the event they have eagerly awaited all year since the prior year's convention ended. During that year they create their costumes and dress their dolls, gather friends and make new ones. Very few cell phones come out, but the cameras do because this is a time of Make-Believe where every female is beautiful, strong and courageous, and every male is a sweeping, flying hero. This is the time where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, when the meek trumpet and sing and dance. It does not matter the age of the damsels or gents because at Otakon, time stands still and a Universe explodes into new birth! Otakon Anime Convention is one of the largest of its kind in the United States. Baltimore becomes a full weekend of Magick for both the thousands (about 20 thousand to 24 thousand attend annually) of fans, tourists and citizens of the city. It's also an anticipated event for numerous hotels, parking facilities, restaurants etc. in the area.

OTAKON 2007 THREE (third of four videos) Saturday fanfare costumes, video game chaos, BJD dolls, a bit of cosplay and onward!

OTAKON 2007 TWO (second of four videos) Friday continues through RAVE dance and then onto Saturday events!

old cold gives way to .... well, something new in the spring, because you never know what'll hatch!

Curses Chapter Three: The great escape begins

Curses Chapter Two: Four unlikely critters are faced with death in a forest fire. In order to survive, their concepts of each other must quickly be reassessed in order to survive. After much discussion between Mole, Snake, Robin and Skunk, the tunnels are getting hotter as the forest fire above intensifies. Decisions must be made in order to survive.

Four unlikely critters are faced with death in a forest fire. In order to survive, their concepts of each other must quickly be reassessed in order to survive. Curses is a Hoax Forum International project and an original Hulitoons production, written, drawn, animated and performed via players from various parts of the globe. None of the voice actors and actresses, nor the artist/writer have never. The manuscript with highlighted dialog was sent to each participant so each act-voiced blindly with their partners. Curses was written nearly a decade ago and the puppet screenplay was performed seven years ago. Curses appears here in three chapters to be viewed in chronological order. None of us profess to be professionals, but in honor of the human condition, we have had fun, frustrating moments, headaches, strained voices.... okay... we had FUN!!! And remember: A gift at its worst is seen as a curse; yet when trouble's adrift, a curse is a gif

I don't want to live the rest of what time I have left waiting for death, I want them to be lived enjoying life to its absolute end. So my protest isn't in 'prose', it's in the character of two artists I have loved since I was a VERY tiny child....Walt Disney, and Dr. Seuss! A week ago I visited a favorite coffee shop for a latte. The shop continues to adorn its walls with local artists featuring elementary, high school, college and professional artists. Last week one wall was devoted to a number of senior citizen writers. I began to read the submissions and was dismayed, not because the authors were unable to write, but because both the subject AND the style were fairly typical of folks in the middle and latter years of life..... meandering, tangled, jumbled and pondering prose based on regrets, dark memories and grief for lost youth. Mostly you get lost after the first line which strings together, like pop-beads, snapshot thoughts. There is a time in life when all of us suddenly face the fact of our mortality. Sometimes that smack in the face begins at age 16, but for others it doesn't register until many years later. I had a friend who used to ambush me daily with long winded passages that somehow lifted my friend's spirit with grandeous ideas of unique wisdom, of credibility. The difficulty I have is that it's almost as though each of these individuals feels smugly secure in an establishing 'waiting years', years that are filled with living in the past as if they sit silently in a doctor's office waiting room while the clock ticks away for their turn (or end) to finally be called.

The stages of life from birth to death from the female perspective, probably a guy's perspective too....so in the end WHO invented HUMOR?
