Cute!

In looking up Sally Jupiter cosplay, I found this cosplayer, and her friend. The friend isn't cosplaying, but the actual cosplayer wrote in her blurb that she felt her friend looked so much like Malin Ackerman that she made her take a picture with her as Laurie. I think it's so cute! I kind of want to get my bangs cut like hers now.

Also, in case I didn't mention, I recently got back from a trip to Japan, and I have a blog that I co-write with my friend, Jenna. The link is here!

I'm looking forward to the next APE con, whenever it is, I'll have to look it up and see.

I just recently finished Alison Bechdel's "Funhouse: A Family Tragicomic'. I found the beginning, and some aspects, particularly the part where she talks about her father and her reading classics to be kind of overwrought, and I found some parts of her narrative to be trying too hard, whether it was to be sentimental, or dramatic, or to prove to the reader that she'd studied her literature, but once she stopped trying to show off her classical knowledge, and focused on her story(or rather, her father's story), I found it an interesting story. I felt so bad for her father, being trapped in a marriage and a small town and a life he felt himself too big for. He was gay, and he had to hide it from everyone. It ended up alienating him from his own kids. But I liked how at the end, she explains that his failure to be himself, helped her be strong enough to be herself.
