I just realized that yes Otakon is next weekend and no, no my Ginji costume is not anywhere finished, and yes, yes I am screwed.
Maybe I'll just be, uhm... magical gloveless, vestless Gin? =x=
(edit!: I lost track of time. I didn't realize that, when I posted that, it was... the weekend. I thought it was, like, the Monday AFTER the current weekend or something. How I got this impression, I do not know. Nor do I care. Otakon = August 8, 9, & 10 and that's all that really matters.)

Wow. (warning!: this site may give you seizures!)
That's supposed to be a professional corporate site?
... Wow. That has to be one of the most painful sites I've ever had the displeasure of laying my eyes upon.
I like how one of their mascots is named "Foamer" and looks like, maybe, HE HAS FUCKING RABIES. Honestly, he's foaming at the mouth. Sure, the product might be fizzy drink stuff, but.. that doesn't mean one of the mascots should be rabid. (I would also like to note that poor Foamer seems to have a bit of a speech impediment, as well.
"Uhhh...Hey-ya kids! How ya doin'? Me and, uh, Fizzie here dropped in to your, uh, planet-like area and grabbed us a few cases of Fizzies®!!"
... right. I don't know what to say, really.
You know, some days I think, "Hey, I should dedicate my boring life to finding the very worst of the web, and torturing you poor blog-readers with my finds!" ...then I realize that that's the job of a big, popular domain-name'd website, and not a lowly, fangirl-owned Blurty.

1:45p - if only I were actually funny...
Continuing in the trend of "finding really bad stuff and subjecting you to it, this here is... well...
badfic. I can't think of any other way to describe it. This is pure, unadulterated badfic. (How you would perform adultery on a badfic, I don't know. But hey, at least you can rest easy knowing no one's done it to this one!)
Since you, my dear readers, are probably much to sane to try and sit through this kind of thing, I'll give you a quick summary, sprinkled with the best quotes I can find.
We begin our fic-reading experience with a quick, poorly written authors note, in which the author lists a bunch of fics for reasons unknown.
Anyway, we jump right into the fic without warning:
"By the way, this story is set 6 years after the anime. I want to warn you all Anna fans that there is something going bad to Anna. So I have warned you.
Now for who will read this fic I want to thank u. Reviews are welcome."
...oh, wait, that's more of the author's note. Sorry, I couldn't tell.
Anyway, this lovely little fic starts out with Tamao screaming "Miss Anna!"
"Hurrah," you're probably thinking, "we're going to get some hot lesbian action out of this fic, aren't we?" No, dear readers, we're not. Instead we get Kyouyama Anna, itako extraordinnaire, fainting. Tamao is quite worried, and keeps saying things like "Please be steady, Miss Anna, please be steady." Uhm, right.
Horohoro shows up--where did he come from? No one knows!--and gets mad at Tamao. ... Right.
""Tamao, what happened? Your screaming like hell!" Horo-Horo said angrily"
And, being the insensitive bastard he is, he tells Tamao that her screaming is like hell! ... I don't know. I really don't know. Anyway, Tamao tells him to shut up, and then goes into her now-famous (?) "know this" speech.
""Miss Anna has just fainted. Just help me bring Miss Anna to their room! And call Faust. Master Yoh mustn't know this. He will surely worry if he knows this. And Miss Anna will be angry if Master Yoh knows this. Tamao said angrily to the Anui shaman."
No, I've never heard of the 'Anui' either. I know about the Ainu, sure, but who are the Anui? And who on earth is the mysterious 'Anui' shaman?
Anyway, Horohoro says that he "will request Ren to call Faust," whatever that's supposed to mean, and we go into a random dream-sequence.
Anna's dream is by far the longest part of the fic, so of course... I'm going to ignore most of it. She's dreaming about the Kyouyama household. Yay. But then! She does something bad (god only knows what) in this dream sequence, and...
"With the broken pieces of the 'Holy Porcelain' in their hands, there is no chance of surviving their lives now."
...we get a line that sounds like something out of Zero Wing. Anyway, her dream sequence goes on, and I'm honestly not quite sure what it's about.
Yoh shows up (presumably, this isn't part of the dream any more, although there's no way to be sure). He asks what happened to Anna, and Faust reveals that ""We all didn't know that Miss Anna has a heart attack and it so serious now that we will need to watch her carefully.""
Yeah. Anyway, we then proceed to the exciting conclusion of this chapter:
That was the first chapter. I think it would be 3-part story. Next chapter, Anna will be haunt by the same dream again. So is the story nice? All reviews are welcome!!!!!
...oh, wait, that's an authors note and not part of the story? Sorry, I couldn't tell.
So, uh, yeah. This fic has just sort of left me reeling. I don't know what to say, really. I guess I should say "I'm sorry," though.
I'm so, so sorry I subjected you, my dear readers, to even my pathetic summary of this abomination.
...I'm also sorry that my summary is probably almost as long as the actual fic.

7:57p - Hmmm...
Open question to all my readers:
If I manage to get my Ginji costume together in time, should I also try and pick up some sunglasses like Ban's, simply for the INCREDIBLY HIGH DORKINESS FACTOR?
