Conplans and holidays

Guys, I’m going to have a lot of free days over the next two month. Well, my BSJ is only fort wo more month, and up to now I only had taken two days free. So first I’ll have the next two days free, so I have time for sewing. After that I’ll have to work three and a half weeks straight while nearly everyone at work is on vacation – our department has to run even during the down period. But after that I’m free from July 28^th till August 6^th. Then I’ll have to work for a week, and then I’ll have a week free time again (August 16^th – 20^th). Well, then the remaining time of my BSJ is only seven days, and I’ll still have two free days to spend…

Also I don’t have to go babysitting for the next five weeks.

Upcoming Events are for me the Chisaii this week (July 3^rd/4^th). I think we’ll all be there, Beo a bit later cause of work, only one I don’t know about is Zwerg. As far as I know we’ll be cosplaying Bleach and Pokemon on Saturday, Bleach at day, and since we plan to stay there long we’ll take our Kigurumi with us so we have something comfy to wear in the evening. On Sunday we’ll be cosplaying Naruto as a group and I hope on wearing my new Lavi-Cos sometime as well. I’ll have to decide the next days where I’ll be sleeping (at home’s impractical because of the bus connection, Thym said she won’t let anyone sleep over, and I got an offer from Sonna to sleep at her place in Harburg), since all those who wanted to sleep ant my place either found someone other to sleep at or aren’t able to come (like LeCri q.q ). And the n ext two days I’ll be busy making muffins and finishing my cosplays (or at least putting them in a wearable state).

The weekend right after the Chisaii it’s time for camping together with lots of other Mexxlers. It’s somewhere in Hamburg, they had a change of administration, and it’s said that it’s now at another place than originally planned. Well, it seems I’ll have to go there alone, since Thym definitely has to work, Beo as well as it seems. And I don’t know what’s with Zwerg and Asta. But I hope Thym will lend me her tent, I love it. I think I’ll take Espeon with me as my sleeping suit XD And lots of muffins so I have something to eat.

Three weeks after that I’ll go to Köln on Thursday, to sleep at Kishis place while the Animagic (Animagic from July 30^th till August 1^st). Yeah, I wanna go there all three days. I’ll be so damn dead after it x.x But it’s okay, I’ll have a lot of fun there and I have a few free days after it so I don’t have to go to work totally tired out. And I had the idea to spend a few days at LeCris home after the Ani XD I think I’ll decide after the Ani if I’ll really do that. I don’t have any Cosplans yet, but I’ll definitely go as Lavi one of the days. A Con without Lavi isn’t possible XD And I half-promised to bring Soba and Mitarashi-Dango.. and of course I’ll make lots of muffins!

Well, two weeks after the Ani I’ll take the train to leave northern Germany and go to Bayern to visit Raviell. LeCri will be there as well. We’ll have four days fun and’ll do silly things. And when I’m returning to Lüneburg, those two will go to the Lake Constance for vacation..

That’s it for my plans about the next weeks, as far as I am planning. I wanna go to the theme park in Soltau with a group and in Cosplay, but we’ll see if that’ll really happen.

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was that we’ve started a new secret santa at nekobento. This time I’m not the organizer, only some kind of helping organizer – if the real organizer has questions she can ask me, I have a list about who is whose secret santa as well, so if something happens we have someone who can take her place.

When I first read the wish list I got, I was like “What the fuck?! How shall I do that, what shall I buy, I can never get something good for her!“, but after thinking two or three minutes I had a good idea and I think I’ll do what I’ve thought about. But I can’t tell whom I got or what I’m going to put in the package, cause it’s supposed to be a surprise, and perhaps someone from nekobento is going to read this.

So I’ll have to somehow manage to go to the asian shops in Hamburg at the weekend.

Cosplay and cooking

First of all, I've bee really lazy over the last weeks with writing in here... My last post is from two month ago. Doesn't mean I hadn't experienced anything or I haven't written anything. The point is, I've pre-written the erntries by hand on paper, started the entry - and was too lazy to typewrite them. So by now I have eight entries waiting to be published. I hope I'll manage to typewrite them soon, so over the next days (weeks?) I'll post them all.

Yeah well, last friday I went to Lüneburg with Thym and Beo, mainly to search for fabric for Beos Umbreon-cosplay. We want to wear them at the ChisaiiCon, I think saturday evening. While shopping I also found fabric for my new Lavi-cos, so I only need a new haircut and fresh colour, white trousers, and boots (and the coat he's wearing under the poncho, but that'll follow later). I won't make it till the Chisaii with buying the boots, I managed to lose every auction for those boots on ebay I took part. Only auctions I won were the boots for LeCri and the Yukata Obi for me.
I started working on Espeon on monday last week. Made the pattern for it and cut most of the body. On sunday I cut thelast part of the body and started sewing. Now I have to narrow it, cause I cut it waaay too big. But I love the fabric *___* Only problem with sewing is, I like to sew at night (I'm more creative that time!), but in the neighbouring room sleeps my moms goddaughter, so I'm not allowed to sew after eight o'clock... I can see my time problem by now.
According to the problems with my real hair (I'm not willing to pay 15euros for a haicut I'm not totally satisfied with, cause the coiffeur wa never able to cut my hair like Lavis, even with a lot of reference-pics), I have problems finding a wig for Lavi. But well, thats not this important, Lavi with uniform is planned at the earliest for the Animagic.

Apart from all my cosplay problems I started trying out a few new recipes. First thing was panna cotta on saturday. I have to admit that is was a pre-made thing, I only had to warm milk and mix a powder and cream into it. But it was tasty. I love panna cotta! I ate it with some puréed strawberries.
Second thing, as well on saturday, was an attempt on making daifuku mochi. I tried to make those long time ago, and it was horrible. Now I know what's been wrong. My first try on saturday failed (and as well I know what went wrong), but the second one was nice. Just like those pink mochi I like this much and buy frozen every time I'm in Hamburg. First I wanted to make Ichigo daifuku, but then I realized thet we had no strawberries left. So I filled them with panna cotta and strawberry-purée. Very nice. Very tasty. Although I prefer Mochi made from Mochigome. About the picture, I made it at sunset, so it all has a yellownes. Originally the Mochi were white.
Last thing I tried was sponge cake, made in the microwave. I've ever thought sponge cake is extremely complicated to make, but with this recipe it was very easy and very fast. And you don't have to preheat the microwave XD Please forgive me for the bad picture, I had nothing to fill the dough with, so I put a little marmelade in between the layers and ate it like that. It was wonderful. And I had a bellyache afterwards, cause I ate it all myself.
I'm curious about the next days, cause I'll try Mitarashi dango one of these days. I promised to try making them, and if I succeed, and they're edible even two or three days after they were made, I promised to make some for the Animagic to feed all the Moyashis with it.

Well, I think that was it for today, now I have to go to bed, I'll have to go to work tomorrow (or today, well, wednesday). After that I have weekend - I've got plenty of leave days to spend.
