Overwatch has occupied a lot of my time lately because of the Lunar New Year, Year of the Dog event, and the new skins. Last summer I made a D.va inspired throw pillow and, asked for suggestions on what other Overwatch characters I should do. One of the suggestions was that I do a Pachimari. So I decided to get rid of some remnants left over from other projects and finally make a Pachimari throw pillow. The pattern for this project is inspired by one of the Pachimari player icons. It’s a simple project that’s great for beginners who are still working on sewing straight lines. This project doesn’t require a lot of supplies or material to make.

Day 3

The last day of Planet Comicon didn’t have much going on. Just a few panels, photo ops, and celebrity meet and greet sessions. I originally planned on wearing my Scarlet Witch cosplay but ended up changing my mind. I ended up wearing my Rocko cosplay from Rocko’s Modern Life instead.

Day 2

Saturday was my favorite day of Planet Comicon. I started the day super nervous and filled with anxiety because I was going to show Skottie Young my cosplay of one of his characters from his comic book series I Hate Fairyland. Skottie Young is an artist and writer who has done projects for Marvel and the comic book adaptations of the Oz books. He is one of my favorite comic book artist and writers and I’m a big fan of his series I Hate Fairyland.

Day 1

Planet Comicon is the largest comic book and pop culture convention in the Kansas City area. It’s a Three Day event that features an array of comic books, gaming, fantasy, sci-fi, television, and film. It wasn’t easy getting everything together for the convention I ended up waiting until about a month out from the convention to buy my admission and by that time parking reservations for the parking garage were completely sold out. I was starting a new job and wasn’t sure if I would be able to get the days off I need to attend the convention.

Luckily I was able to get the time off. I also had a bit of trouble getting my cosplay together I ordered the materials online but because of the weather, it arrived later than expected. So I didn’t have as much time to build my cosplays. I managed to get everything put together after a few late nights. I had a lot of fun at the convention and I plan on attending the convention next year. 

When people think of date night they tend to think of going out to a fancy restaurant and seeing a movie afterward. While there is nothing wrong with the cliché dinner and movie for some couples going out for dates isn’t within their budget. Dinner at a reasonably priced restaurant ranges anywhere between $30-$40 plus a tip. Movie ticket prices are around $10-$15 per person not to mention the price of snacks like popcorn, drinks, and candy. If you’re a couple that’s trying to pay off debt or trying to save money spending that amount of money on a weekly basis isn’t really doable.
