so I've been working on My Little MurderDollz, which originally started as a tshirt design, and I liked 'em so much that I thought it would be cool to have little collectables of them...
My friend Ccoa (thanks so much) directed me to PatchTogether, a site where they'll make toys of your designs if you get enough votes.
So I started with Kifi (who was the most popular until Mary took the lead a few days ago)
So go Vote! http://bit.ly/8kOIru |

Why must my birthday be so close to xmas, but far enough to antagonize me. I got money for xmas, that I know I said I'd put towards savings, but I REALLY want the new zelda game for the DS. Why must Monica torture me so with pics of her playing it?
BUT since my birthday is only a month away, and it's still on my list of desired gifts, I dare not buy it. WHYYYYYY! I Wants it! It's only 25 at amazon right with free super shipping! |

| No More Veggie Vamps! |
|
|
| 09:53pm 13/09/2009 |
| |
mood:  aggravated
|
I'm really getting tired of Veggie Vamps...and yes, this includes Twiggles. Angel, Spike (even if Spike was initially an unwilling veggie), D, Blade, Vampire Bill, the whole of the Cullen family, and yes, even Hassan and Murphy (although being Canadian Pirates does help them a little bit) Need to be staked, beheaded and burned.
Seriously.
The over saturation of bad vampire fiction is just giving real vamps a bad name. I put Angel and Spike up there because, despite the fact that I like Whedon, I'm pretty sure those two helped to perpetuate the whole idea that vamps could be vegetarians. Sure, we know Louis went through a veggie stage, but he snapped out of it.... at least until Rice found God and effed up the series.
What's next, somebody gonna rewrite Dracula to be a bunny-loving-sparkling-vegetarian-Twiggle?
Actually, speaking of bunnies.... Bunicula is the only Veggie Vamp I'll let slide. Why? 'Cause he's a BUNNY.
Bah. At least there's going to be a real werewolf movie in February. |

| Stuff for Edgi |
|
|
| 04:49pm 27/08/2009 |
| |
Am working on a t-shirt design for Edgi based on a charity organization that builds wells in Africa called "Charity:water"
were the sketches that I sent in... they selected the one in the bottom left.
( more detailed pencils )
I'm still working out how to integrate the word "charity:" into it...
but I think that the bits of dirt, debris and rubbish in between the woman and the water might also be words (as that's edgi's thing), such as "disease" "pollution" and such. |

The fabric is mostly cut for the costume, I've still got to cut the leather bits tho. Right now it's just all pinned together. Will probably finish it tomorrow.
The sword is actually done, but I haven't taken any finished pictures of it...
If I wind up with extra time, I might be tempted to make a canyon crawler too. haahaa. |

mood: accomplished

Have been making quite a bit of headway on my Avatar fighting game. Hurray. Special moves for Aang, Katara, and Toph are available currently... and Zuko, Sokka and Azula's are hopefully soon to follow.
Currently the enemy is pretty dumb and extremely easy to beat, especially since the enemy can't use any special attacks. After I get Zuko, Sokka and Azula done for the player, then I'll be tweaking the AI to make it smarter and more difficult.
For now, check it out!
There's no sound currently, but that should be up and running as soon as I find suitable sounds to use.
Please report anything you think might be a bug! |

| Chopped and Donated |
|

mood:  numb

Most of you have seen photos of me, at least enough to know that I had really long hair.
However, since my father was diagnosed with cancer, I'd been considering donating it to one of those places that makes wigs.
This morning, my father passed away, and I decided it was time. It's chopped, bound, bagged and in the mail to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. http://www.beautifullengths.com/
The resulting pony tail was about 15 inches or so. (will upload a pic of that later)
And I suppose if I were going to SDCC, I could probably cosplay as the Zhang Leader... as my hair will have grown long enough for that by then. |

| Snowed In |
|

Lemme preface by saying the Willamette Valley in Oregon usually only gets about 6 inches of snow a Year. In the last two days, we've gotten about 2 feet.
I'm taking advantage of it by taking a few decent cosplay photos of Rufftoon's Nauja.
   
For more pictures of the snow over the last week, check this out
Of course all this snow has reeked havoc on my pay checks... Last day I worked was the 13th, and I'm not going to get the pay check for the days worked from the 1st through the 13th probably until January 10th or so. |

| dreams are wierd... |
|
|
| 11:16pm 14/10/2008 |

So I rarely remember my dreams... I've got an active enough waking imagination that I don't think I miss it much. When I do remember my dreams, they're quite strange.
I've been watching the new Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, and there wasn't an episode this week due to the presidential debates. My dream decided to fill in for it.
It was like a weird anime cross-over version of Terminator, and no Summer Glau...nope, this dream featured the original Terminator, Arnie. The John Connor was similar to the first season of the show, with the semi-long hair that seems so popular with teenage boys right now... except in the dream he was blond, and more fem. Typical Anime I suppose.
OH, and it was Shonen-ai(boy's love) apparently too. Now typically in Shonen-ai, the more masculine, older and taller guy is the pursuer of the relationship(seme), and the younger more fem guy is the pursued(uke). This was backwards.
I don't remember much, but the one mental image that stuck in my head is Arnie standing on a bus, holding on to the hand bars, and John standing up out of his seat to kiss him. Seriously?
I don't even know what to think. I'm not even a fan of Shonen-ai! |
