Desucon er nå over for denne gang, og vi i crew vil takke alle våre besøkende for et fantastisk arrangement! Det var i overkant av 4000 personer som besøkte Oslo Kongressenter i løpet av helga, og det er kjempeflott at så mange av dere tok turen til årets Desucon. Årets arrangement har vært en videreføring av den gode, gamle Desucon-ånden, i tillegg til at mange nye poster og stands har dukket opp på programmet. – desu.no
Gyaaaaaaaa~ It is over! Stuff I’ve been working on since… A long time ago, is over! I’m really tired, but surprisingly awake right now. Desucon was -the- most awesome event ever, and I am really happy to have participated as crew. It seems like the visitors are really exited about it as well, so I’m very happy to have helped out. The info crew was awesome, I am so lucky to have been a part of it. Although we tried to help everyone out (and I really hope we did help somebody), I think a few kind of hated us or thought we were incompetent. At least they were pretty mad at us for stuff we couldn’t manage to fix. It’s all part of the job though, somebody has to bring both the bad and the good news to people. But we tried our best, and I hope at least some of you felt our efforts.
Luckily, there wasn’t really many of those. Most people were utterly polite and joyful and lovable. I got to help a couple of cute cosplayers I just wanted to hug, as well as mothers and people with lost phones and bags. God, I want to do this again. <3
Stuff learned during this year’s convention
People usually runs away before you’re done explaining the way to them. I never managed to give them a proper map before they ran off into a hurry to reach Sub.Scene. xD
Some people are really awesome and will love you forever when you find their missing stuff. <3
Explaining the whereabouts of stuff isn’t easy when the person never actually listen to you. I think I said “Spiseri Møller” about a hundred gazillion times, but so far it seems nobody got it right. >.<
Some people are just plain blind.
Awesome and huge banners usually stick out and make things visible. :’D
Swedish people don’t really think we understand them, and thus speak English to us. They were awesome though, so they’re forgiven. <3
Google – helping foreign guys finding out they’re in the wrong city.
Hablablabla!?
Sorry about the smiley overload, I’m a bit too exited. This whole experience was awesome, and on top of this, I’m going to Japan in just a day!
All I can say that I’m pretty darn proud to be Norwegian right now. And yes, I am pretty hyped up too. I blame the flash mob. Dear god, it was incredibly awesome and I completely lack words (and my English is getting uglier by the minute). I’ll be writing a proper post when I am not so exited. Just watch the video under the text. Also, and Germany’s Lena and Alexander Rybak make an incredibly cute couple. Kind of wishful thinking I guess but… xD
Money well spent. Or, at least I think it is well spent. At least I’ve bought a train ticket back home to Trondheim! I’ll be leaving Oslo on Tuesday 20th, at 4:16 p.m. I won’t be in Trondheim before sometime around 11 p.m., but that’s okay really. It’s not like I have school on Wednesday anyway, and I’d rather spend a few hours in Oslo before I leave. Maybe I’ll pick up some food and a pack of daifuku before I get on the train too.
You know the cosplay group I said something about a little while ago? We’re finally getting around to really plan something! This is going to be awesome. We’re planning on making a full Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle group for this autumn’s own cosplay convention in Oslo. That’s right, a very own convention dedicated to cosplay and cosplayers! No date is set, and it’s only in the planning stages as of yet, but I really think the idea is fantastic. I’m really looking forward to it.
It’s been about two days since I came back to Trondheim. So far, so good. I’ve been sick since Saturday though, with fever, a stuffy nose and a sore throat. I think I’m about to get better though, kind of feels like I am.
My figma Mio came in the mail yesterday. Her arm was broken! Seems like there’s some kind of production fault on some of them. The arm joint didn’t fit in the body at all, so I had to adjust the size of the joint. Worked pretty well, the arm’s on now at least. Now, both Yui and Mio stand at my shelf. n_n
I’ve also been working on setting up a forum for our cosplay group at http://forum.engetsu.net. We’re in the midst of recruiting members right now, and our founder Vesnet hasn’t seen the forum yet. It’s kind of a surprise in that sense. Both me and Tharanee figured it would be easier to contact each other if we had a place to post ideas and such, and since I have pretty much endless space on my domain, I figured I could host a forum or two. The group is nameless as of yet, but I’m sure we’ll come up with a name sometime.
Tomorrow will be a tiring day. I have to attend a feedback session at school for my recently delivered assignment (which was crap, so I’ll probably get a lot of comments on that). No worries though, final submission of the same assignment is on Friday 19th. Lots of time.
I guess I better get going. Should be cleaning up the mess here right now, I’m way behind schedual. >.<
I really thought I would find some time to blog a bit more this summer than I had done during my school year. I was terribly mistaken. This summer has, so far, proven to be my busiest summer ever. My job has provided me with quite a lot of work, which I am overly happy to receive. I need the money, how else am I going to get to Japan next summer… So although I am rather busy, summer’s been good. But all’s not work… There has been quite a lot of fun stuff happening too.
I have spent quite a lot of free week-ends together with my boyfriend this summer, last week-end being the most recent one. A while ago, we decided to go on a mini-vacation together since neither of us had the time to take a week off because of work. His workload is waaaaay heavier than mine, I can’t really imagine how he does it. ^^; Anyway, we went on a mini-cruise to Denmark. DFDS Seaways is a ferry company who offers week-end cruises to people over 20, between Oslo and Copenhagen, while most other companies requires a minimum age of 25 for week-end cruises. So we ended up ordering a week-end cruise to Copenhagen to have a little vacation in the midst of all the work.
Enter the television Advent calendars! I do not know if countries outside Scandinavia have these kind of shows, but around here they are pretty popluar. Never a Christmas without them. In Norway, we call it Julekalender, which is probably the same as the Danish term. The Swedish term would be Julkalender, and the Finnish is Joulukalenteri, if I’m not entirely mistaken. Scandinavian languages are pretty much alike, with the exeption of Finnish (which is not, by definition, a Scandinavian language. Scandinavia consist only of three countries; Sweden, Norway and Denmark).
Anyway, I was overjoyed when I found out that they were airing a show called The Julekalender on the Norwegian channel TV2 this year. It’s actually been aired a couple of times before too (first time for the Norwegian version in 1994, when I was 5 years old), but I simply love this show.
Siden jeg postet første del, må jeg vel også poste andre del, syns dere ikke? Prepare for doom. xD Credit til Lene, med diverse innspill fra varierende kilder.
Bare sånn til informasjon: Dette blir en ekstremt lang post! Her kommer nemlig hele første del av “Lord of the Things”, et produkt av for mye fritid og for mye tanker om hva kunne ha vært rundt Ringenes Herre. Hele greia er på engelsk, skrevet av Lene med diverse sprøe innspill fra meg og søskenbarnet mitt. Vær klar for veldig sær humor! Happy reading. :3
