So, working in downtown Toronto, you get a lot of those…guys who wanna talk to you and want you to donate to stuff.
Save the children. Save the animals. Save the environment. Save the girls. Save the animals….again. That sorta thing. It’s actually one of the worst things about summer for me, now (which, in all honesty, means I’ve got a pretty decent life).

So this guy goes to me as I walk by him “What’s the least racist animal?” and my first thought is Kanagaroo – don’t know why, that’s the first animal that popped into my head. But then a second later, I blurt out: “THE PANDA”

“Why the Panda” he asks.

“Because it’s asian, black AND white!”

Anyways, I actually think I got this question ‘right’. To be honest, I wish I’d come up with this, but I read it somewhere during my internet crawlings…

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. THE PANDA. A BEING OF INTER-RACIAL HARMONY.

So Z and I went to the Annex festival on Bloor, which is literally right outside our door.

There was this guy and a baby carriage full of pomeranian puppies! They were so cute!
Anyways, I’d like to get a pomeranian dog – like Boo, the dog.

Look how cute this dog is!

It was cool holding 8-day and 14-day old puppies :) Warmed my heart a little, y’know!

Today was shorter than the other days – I woke up pretty late. Z and I went for McDonalds around 12 and then go Anime North around 1pm.
We didn’t do much, I went around the dealer area and artist alley and then at 3, Z went to the Once Upon a Time panel.

I proceeded to buy a few things, without her ;) Namely an artbook and various prints!

We called it a day at 4pm, nice and early.

I will take pics and post soon!

Something different I noticed about this con, this time – while females dressing up as males can be cool and sometimes sexy, I found quite a few males dressing up as female characters, which I found quite odd. To Z’s point, it’s nice to take down the gender barriers but this was a bit odd for me. The males in the maid costume, or as a Magical Girl, and not doing it ironically – it was pretty weird for me.

I took quite a few notes from Figure Collecting 101 and 201 – I plan to share my notes here :) I think, at some point, I could lead a panel!

Went to AN a little late – got there around 10pm.

Was finishing Magical Girl Madoka [Rewatch] prior – watched 7 episodes after work!

Attended a Samurai Pizza Cats showing – to be honest, that made my night right there, watching Pizza Cats with others :)
Went to a Power Rangers/Super Sentai panel for a bit, followed by a Magical Girl Madoka panel for a bit. These were my first 2 panels ever and they were pretty cool!

Also met like, 90 people on streetpass in 2 hours. Got all 1113/1113 puzzle pieces!!!!!

Let’s see what tomorrow brings :)
