someone tell me why? okay i'm aware my room mate is pretty damn hypocritical but it's like lately in the last week he's going off about the littlest things about the kitchen and it being a little dirty.... kitchen was far dirtier when we moved in, he never rinses out his dishes and leaves them around in general area of the sink, yet I forget to throw away a mac and cheese box from dinner or L forgets to close the little door to where we keep the butter in the fridge and he's like criticizing us for getting the kitchen so messy when he leaves it 5x as messy when he attempts to cook odd concoctions & never makes any effort to clean his own dishes. No we do all the dishes, well L does all the dishes, I sometimes help out unloading the dishwasher.
Okay yes I think something of the mostly neat freakness we did well to keep up changed a lot and hasn't gotten back into swing since L's mom passed away. I'm not saying it's because of her specific, just that that's when I noticed the change. I honestly went over 2 weeks not folding and putting away the clean laundry... we just haven't gotten back into check yet I think, but for the love of all things, stop being so damn nit picky about someone else's cleanliness when yours is soooo immensely sub par to ours. |

Just more wip updates on my current work....

|
|
| Blah day... |
[Nov. 2nd, 2009|07:22 pm] |
Day made of blah, they've got everything up at work all screwy and they say things are gonna make stuff faster and more efficient when it's only going to wear me or any of us that do a certain task out and the quality is going to drop major making more work in the end. So sad....
Sadly the time change has left me driving home from work in the dark. I'm not thrilled about this, the last time it was dark when I got off work I wasn't having vision problems and I've realized for about 2-3 months now that I'm just not seeing things like I used to far away and it's about 5x worse at night... so yah I got home and have one stupid major headache because I think I'm totally straining my eyes to drive at night anymore... *is sad*
So next paycheck or two will try to find $20 to go see the eye doctor and find out the verdict.... mind you this is not at all surprising. Both my mother and father have an astigmatism since young age, one of my brothers developed one toward the end of highschool, and my other brother developed minor vision problems (reverse of what I'm having) in about his mid 20s.
Hoping to maybe do some more work on my one drawing tonight, not sure if I'll get around to it or not or if I'll go restring Tsukasa. We found out yesterday afternoon when stripping him that the knot in his string moved down and got stuck in his hip at the top of his leg... I'm so very annoyed, but I have crazy fun plans to dress him in the magical michael outfit (or part of it at least) for our local post Halloween Halloween meetup.
So my choices, work on art, play with dolls.... well reguardless I'm probably not gonna do either till after Castle tonight. |

| maor arts....wip stills. |

Am truly hoping that in the end this is worth it.... spent a few hours of my night working on the same art piece... and all I did today was work on clean lining out the hair.... x_x I actually feel accomplished but am definitely ready for bed now.

| Wednesday |
[Oct. 28th, 2009|06:38 pm] |
This morning was one of those mornings that I still thought it was Tuesday so you can imagine it was a pleasant surprise to find out it was Wednesday and the week is half over. We also had a fairly light load at work today too which was cool. I even had a spare 10 min to draw a doodle. Little annoyed that DHL didn't just ditch my package on the porch today because I really wanted my new loli stuffs. But apparently they will try to redeliver tomorrow. Right now eating my totinos pizza for dinner and will then decide whether to work more on that art piece I started last night or go work on dolls, though I'm thinking art, and probably pull up my playlist and put on my headphones and disappear for a while. Or at least till ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) fullmetalsqishy comes home cuase he'll probably want the computer since his is currently down... this is really driving me to want that laptop even more... I think if this next doll sells for money and I don't end up trading for something that I might just buy a bloody laptop before xmas.... we'd already planned to get one then, but I'm getting really annoyed with present computer area set up and mr. super uncomfy chair. I wanna sit in my cushy bed again with the comp on my lap. |

| not a whole lot... |
[Oct. 27th, 2009|11:16 pm] |
Really there hasn't been a whole lot up with me lately. Been busy with dolls and junk as usual. Though for the first time in over half a year a serious art bug has bitten me. I'm enjoying hanging around on deviant art again because it's totally inspiring.... so I really just drop by tonight and I think this post is more a "lookey!" that goes out to bakayaro_onna, but still...
W.I.P. 2009.10.27
And yes I totally left out the linework intentionally for this post ha ha |

My dear mother in law Patricia Dianne Davis was called home at approx 11:50am Wednesday morning.
We're gonna miss her tons, we're doing pretty okay. Both me and L have been pretty okay with it all since Sunday morning after waking up from having similar dreams. I still want to thank EVERYBODY for all the prayers, well wishes, and support. They've really meant a lot to us both, so I honestly can't thank you all enough.
They did a short viewing this afternoon (yah it was like less than 24hrs notice for us too so I didn't really get the chance to update) before her cremation and there will be a memorial service held Saturday morning at 10am. For those interested who are able to attend get with me or L for more information reguarding location etc. I currently know where the church is at, but not the address, or else I'd leave more information here.
In other news in life, I've been killing some time getting into the series Heroes, and you can read a little bit over at komishika about my giddiness on jrock and punk/lolita finds. I think I'm going to spend the better part of the rest of my evening on my NintendoDS playing more Lux-Pain |

| super scatter brained update |
[Sep. 10th, 2009|10:31 pm] |
There are just so many things that make me want to face palm, and some how they continue to make me want to do it more often...
But in other news, made it through Afest, did not get sick. I ended up being rather busier (much more than I'd planned). I only made it to a few panels, got to dress lolita twice and will totally be purchasing an amazing perfectly priced Angelic Pretty dress off one of my friends very soon. OMG red/white gingham, it is soooo cute and fits like a dream!
Spent some quality time with the group of buddies I don't get to see very often. I couldn't believe the news friday that one of my close friends got dumped like 1 month out from her wedding. I was so happy she was able to come up to con and get to blow off some stress.
I actually got to cosplay this year which was fun. Was amazed someone in the dealers room totally asked if I was cosplaying Hizaki and I was like "YES I AM! You rock for recognizing"
Brother bought me new shiney issue of Cure magazine. So happy to have it... though it's a little sad becuase main cover feature is Versailles, pre-Jasmine You passing. The article was very good.
Nothing too much else is up right now, cept the AC here is out. No clue what happened just know it's gonna be a hot night. Gonna head off line and hope to finish out the chapter I started last night of Lux-Pain. Great game if you seriously LOVE supernatural detective story and can dig a game that is 85% story 15% game play. While it has frustrated me a little, it's totally got me hooked and I recommend it to anybody who really likes games with story. Also found out from reading the direction manual that it has multiple endings. I'm totally on a mission that once I play through it once I'm going to try to do some write ups about the game play and how to defeat the silents since there are totally no directions on how to do it. Seriously dreading but looking forward to doing that, but it's such an under the radar game it seems that it took fullmetalsqishy almost 2 months to even find a single review of it. Totally wanna do cosplay from it to be super obscure game cosplayer!
Anyways that's seriously all cause I've only got 20min of game play time before bed time. Catch you all later! |

| Gearing up for Afest |
[Sep. 1st, 2009|09:33 pm] |
Gearing up for Afest over here. I don't really have a new cosplay or anything, money is tight and haven't had a lot of time. I did however get the awesome punk loli skirt I was making before Akon finally finished and ready to wear for Afest. I'm looking so forward to Sunday when I'll be wearing it.
Also luckily all loli and copslay are long sleeved and gonna cover my horrid bruise on my arm.
Quick question! I'm gonna be packing tomorrow night for Akon cause Sam's taking everything to work with him and then down to the hotel directly from his work Thursday night and me and L won't be heading down till a little later on the train. But as far as things I'm taking, I'm gonna wear Hizaki (hizaki grace project) again, and I'm gonna wear my punk loli. Other than that I have nothing aside from attmepting to put together some other punk outfitting. If there is a cosplay I've done previously (since I still have most of my cosplays) that anyone would like to see me in or have me do as part of a group thing or anything of that sort speak now or forever hold your peace. If I can fit back in my shorts for Yuuta from Zombie Loan I'm wearing that too, that is if I can find the hat.... Hrrrmmm might start trying to track down the pieces for that tonight just in case I am able to wear it becuase it's just cute and comfy. But yah if there are any requests lemme know, helps me decide what else to bring or not to bring. |

| little update.... |
[Aug. 31st, 2009|09:06 pm] |
Haven't updated much lately... honestly not a lot to report.
Gearing up for afest and have my punk lolita outfit almost all set (only thing new). Trying to find a few more accessories to jazz it up a bit.
Um have crazy bruise of dahuminah on my arm from where they took blood at the doctor's office... talk about an experience almost as bad as the one when I was 7 that freaked me out about needles... Good thing and bad thing that my costumage for afest includes long sleeves. Good because it covers up the hideous thing which judging from the deep purple center (mind you this is a week old now) it's still definitly gonna be there this weekend. Bad because it's still summer in Texas....
On my fandom fronts, I'm a tiny bit disconcerted by news I read today. AnCafe is going on an activity pause. Sometimes this is a good thing for a band sometimes it starts an impending slide to disbandment. News stated they're taking a pause and will be working independantly on their own activities during said time... I'm hoping for good things becuase they really are on of my top faves and I would hate to see them disappear because I love them and the members so much.
Oh and on the game front, took a break from doing all the extras for The World Ends With You to start into a new game, Lux Pain. LP is interesting to say the least. There's a lot of little things I don't like about it but it's got me hooked enough to keep going. The things I dislike are:
1) If you didn't read the instruction book before playing you would have NO CLUE what to do in less than 5 min into the game
2) The text looks like it's been directly translated but during part of the game especially the first couple of game days the voices are dubbed over and the dubbing does not match the texts and in some parts is horridly off.
3) Part of what is supposed to make it interesting is to see these shinen, or thoughts that you uncover but they are all in texts that swirl, fade in and out, are different colors on the top screen and it's like I feel like I miss a lot cause I can't read fast enough. Now it works for this mini game in the game, but for the regular parts I hate it
hrm.. that's really all for now. |

Not gonna go into description but today has been a day... I feel kind cruddy and other things have me a little hung up tonight. But I've done more doll work tonight than I've done in almost a week... keeps my mind off of things. Just wish there were more daylight hours where I could spray sealant. |

I am seriously freakin' bored.... I don't think I've been this bored in a long ass time. Don't feel like watching anything, tried playing some DS but just couldn't get into it. Redressed a doll who apparently thinks that snow leopard print makes any outfit fabulous no matter how craptastic his taste in fashion is. So yah, I'm here just doing nothing... that's just not right. |

[Aug. 9th, 2009|10:32 pm] |
On the Japanese Visual Kei front today, we have lost another amazing talented individual. We knew him by the name Jasmine You. He played bass for the amazing band Versailles ~Philharmonic Quintet~. I found out the news upon arriving to a friends home after a doll event today. I was much sadness. I feel a very priviledged individual to have been able to see him play most beautifully live and meet him in person and to have shaken his hand. It is a memory I will hold very dear especially at this time. Other idols of mine whom have passed from VK did so before I found them, so this is my first time to truely feel the loss of someone I very much admired and it was truely unexpected and shocking. For it to have been not only someone I enjoyed seeing and hearing the talent of, but had actually met in person.
Jasmine You, I hope you made it home, back the the planet Jasmine... I hope it is a very truely beautful and wonderous place. May you spread what you loved of earth with your people, we will miss you here. |

| Finally Friday! |
[Jul. 31st, 2009|11:51 am] |
So yesterday I ended up leaving work an hour early. It was funny I got home to L on the couch going "what time is it?" when I walked in because I got home before I should have gotten off work. Spent most of the night playing with faceup stuff, and then becuase it was all so much eyebrow stuff (which I have so many problems with) I just sort of stopped after not getting a response after about half an hour. Chit chatted with kerikochan, and then got caught up for some odd reason (I don't even know why) looking at old doll pictures. Got off the comp, played around with dolls, folded laundry, then played a little DS while on the phone with xrose_kingdomx. She's such a sweetheart, she was buying jrock flyers and stuff and bought me a Danger*Gang one! I'm looking much forward to it. I hope she gets her Versailles DVD before Saturday night so we can watch it either Sat or Sun. I'm excited she's gonna be over spending the night since both her rents will be out of town. Lol, I'm not a babysitter but it's nice to know my husband, my housemate, and I are trusted with the care of a teen (who is sooo an adult masquerading I swear).
Anywho, as far as today goes, things are pretty good. We have very minimal work this morning. I did help prep some papers for someone since someone else in the office called in sick. I was going to also scan some boxes, but one of my other co-workers wanted to so she can get more experience at the scanner under her belt. I never thought in this office I would ever hear someone say they wanted to scan. It was like music.
I got my paycheck today, and this was one of those months were I got paid 3 times so it's a total bonus. I can get my doll on layaway paid off 2 months early and I'm still actually gonna have a little spending money left over. I think I'm gonna save it to go toward animefest, but I might spend a little more of it getting the incoming doll a proper wig, eyes, and I'd say maybe a dress but I think that's gonna have to wait a couple checks... I do at least have something she can wear and after her and maybe one more little one I'm not buying dolls for about a year... I still want a lot more, but I'm seriously running out of space as well and have things to plan for.
This weekend should be fun. Going to hang out with some friends tonight, then tomorrow is Sam's bday lan gaming party thingy, and then I've got S staying the night from sat-sun, so yah all fun good times and I'm crossing my fingers I'll be able to get the two projects on my doll work table ready to go before the weekend is over and start another and feel okay asking august comissioners to go ahead and send their stuff. |

| the report... |
[Jul. 30th, 2009|09:47 am] |
So I've been a tad busy and haven't updated for a few days
Overview of Tuesday - It was very blah. I got a couple miles down the street on the way to work to realize I forgot a bill that needed to go in the mail asap becuase even though I mailed it before the due date last month I got slapped with a late fee becuase it didn't arrive on time. Work was work as usual and then home was meh. I got to work on some doll faces and then had to do a grocery store run after dinner... I think that would also be the night I watched new ep of warehouse 13... damn good show thus far.
Yesterday:
Just another day really. I went to work we finished up the scraggling bits of what there was to be done and about as soon as we did that we got some more work in, knocked it out in like record time, then the normal after lunch work came in and we were done in no time... I even left 15 min early. I ran some errands on my way home. Went to my parents to bring in the mail and then went to the store to pick up something we forgot. Pretty much spent the evening working on dolls and then got side tracked chatting with a friend on gmail about just whatever. Was supposed to have done more dollwork, but it was a nice distraction.
As for today:
Nasty storm blew though last night/early this morning and woke me up. In turn I slept in almost 20 extra min. Whenever I am woken up by something during my regular sleeping cycle I always want to sleep longer when it's actually time for me to get up. And now I am at work, we wrapped everything up to the point where there is actually nothing to do but clean up our desks which we already did. I wish I could have my nintendo DS with me or something, but we're not even supposed to have books or anything. Most may remember that yes we did have internet taken off our computers, but that is only at my actual desk so I've totally comandeered an unused computer to use internet instead of sitting and staring at my desk or taking a nap. At least I look busy instead of bored, and I'm not the only one ha ha.
Looking forward to going home tonight even though I'm pretty much going to be left to my own devices since it's class night for L. Hopefully the humidity will subside and I can clear out and finish up some more doll work... that's probably some high hoping but, it worked out yesterday. I can't believe the week is almost over, tomorrow is Friday and I get my paycheck and I HOPEFULLY can pay off my doll I have on layaway. I think I might be no more than $20-30 short and L said he'd spot me a loan till next payday so I didn't have to wait 2 more weeks. I'm excited I'm getting a big girl, but I'm sad for her becuase I have practically nothing for her yet, but all in due time. Then the dolls have to take a break so I can get a laptop, camera, and go to Japan! |
|
|
| Another day... |
[Jul. 27th, 2009|06:50 pm] |
Another Monday. Today it has been rainy which is good for a lot of things but not so great for others. It means I don't have to water my parents' grass while they are on vacation, but it also means that I cannot work on my doll faceup comissions becuase of the moisture in the air.
I think everyone has had the days where during their commute (if they commute to work, like me for instance, 17miles in approx 40min) where they see something that they probably wished that they hadn't, or didn't have to see. This morning not too far from home actually, not even 2 miles over the Dallas city line traffic slowed down and as you came upon the reason you could see a woman on a cell phone waving people to get over into the other lane. And as I pull closer in the middle of the traffic lane there is a person on the ground unconscious, a woman in scrubs trying to wake them a wheelchair and another woman who was probably a witness. From what I could gather, one person or someone that drove off hit the person with their car, the lady in scrubs seemed to be a nurse probably on her way to work, the wheelchair was a pristine unused thing, still partially scrunched, I'd assume the nurse had it in her vehicle (some inhome patient care nurses and the like do have them handy) and pulled it with ideal that if the person was conscious and able to move that she could help move him off the street with the wheelchair. As I pass by I can hear the one random woman pointing and telling the other ladies that the firestation is just a block away on the other side of the highway and as I came around to the overpass for the highway there went the ambulence. Usually when you see things on your way to work you notice it becuase or you notice emergency lights which are sometims covering the situation. This is one of those few times I've seen something before help arrived. I don't know who the three women were but I commend them for their efforts and the next stop light I hit I said a prayer for the unknown man's wellbeing. Driving in Dallas for seven years I think I have prayed for several people I've never nor will ever know in my lifetime. This was another of those days...
Had to be serious there for a minute. It was one of those rare things that happens every so often that you just really remember and can't forget about. The rest of my work day was fairly blah. It went alright, cept I was achey from stupid woman cramps all day. Home now and trying to figure out what I want to eat...I think I've given up on conning L into making me something so I guess I need to go ahead and fend for myself. |
|
|
| Probably more than you wanted to know... |
[Jul. 26th, 2009|03:07 pm] |
Sorry simply becuase I'm amused... phi_san gave me a chupachup lolipop last weekend and I finally ate it. Well most of it. I'm not really big into hard candy and haven't been for a long time becuase of my horrid teeth, but on rare occasion I really like lolipops. I can still almost never eat a whole one becuase I get tired of them after a bit and I also almost immediately have to brush my teeth afterwards or we're talkin' insta cavity! So it was cherry and it was red and I went and brushed my teeth and was somehow very amused when I spit red afterwards. Makes you really realize how much of that sugary little sucker is still just all over your mouth when you're done.
Yah, that was the part that was probably more than anyone cared to know, but as for the rest of the day...
Woke up this morning and took care of some dishes. Today has really been a chore day to tell the truth. We then went to my parents house to take care of the mail and pick up the serger machine. We came back home, cleaned the bathroom and then had lunch. I was so happy I could actually enjoy my steak leftovers from yesterday becuase I absolutely did not enjoy them whatsover yesterday because the tiny bit I even ate made me feel so horribly sick in my stomach.
Right now I'm cutting off a sheet and sewing a few little seams and making a curtain, in particular a black out curtain, so that when the firetrucks drive by at night the lights don't bother L while he's trying to go to sleep. The firestation is about a block up the street and if they need to go somewhere east bound they drive right by the front of the house and that's right where our window is. We were actually making two, one for the work room as well for extra indirect sunlight protection with the idea of putting more dolls in there, but apparently Sam bought a set of sheets (one fitted, one flat) and well he bought them a few months ago so can't return them but since I agreed to making curtains today L is holding me to the one, so I should get back off the comp again and get cracking because I really wanna work on doll faces today since I'm a bit behind, and then later some friends are coming over to visit because it's one of them's birthday and I'm all like ugh cause it was sort of a last min/last night planned thing and I'd been planning doll face work all week for today, so I hope it's not too offensive if I'm not overly social, but seriously I've got one week left for this month and have already had to push back 2 people to August and I know I'll still be working on someone's doll work in September at this point, so yah... Okay seriously though gotta get back to work. |
