Ok, this doesn't automaticly go and grab my posts from my blog. >< Which means this won't get updated to often as I tend to forget to actually post things.

Oh, and don't go too far back in the blog history. In trying to find out why it wasn't importing, I accidently duplicated most of the posts. I'll go through and delete them, but it'll take a long time since I have to do them ONE AT A TIME. *dies* So I'll probally only do a little at a time. Whee.

And I'm back!

Back from AI. Check out my livejournal for details. Yes, I'm lazy. What are you going to do about it? :PSitewise, I've added a new site. I know, I know. ^_^; But this one will be easy to update since it's a very simple site. Basicly, it's for us anime fans that are out of school. You're never too old for Anime! is basied on an idea a friend had a long time ago, but has since dropped from her site. So if you're an adult (or close) that loves anime, sign up! Nothing requred except a link back, and even that can be however you want it. I just always thought it was a neat idea, so yeah.In other news, flying while congested? Not such a good idea. Yeah. Got home last night and crashed. o.O Not fun in the least!

Ok, so Quakecon. Had some fun, only went on Saturday. Well, Thursday for the Sinus show to see them doing Doom. Heh, fruitball. XD Anyways, Saturday I went, hung out, wandered around, got a little sketching done, wandered around some more, met an online friend finally, wandered around some more, etc. Basicly, I got my exercise for the week. o.O Really wish I had taken the time off work and brought my computer though. Turns out on Thursday when I went to pick up my badge, there was NO LINE for the BYOC. No line!! On Thursday night? Inconceviable! I so wish I had brought it up on Friday night. Except I would've missed Promivion and Dom's Return, which was a lot of fun. Ah well. I'll plan better next year. I mean, I live here now. A hotel room would be convienent, but it's not a big deal. It's not a long drive, espically in the middle of the night, and since it's free, all it will cost me is gas and whatever time I take off work (if I do take off). Ah well, that's next year.Anime Iowa is next! I leave tomorrow, flying back on Monday. Gawd, I'm going to be miserable on the plane. I'm so congested right now. *dies* Totally not looking forward to that. And, unfortunatly, no costume unless we can find a shirt up there tomorrow night after I land. I found ONE shirt that I could modify here, and I messed it up to badly since I don't have any kind of sewing supplies down here any more. Guess I really do need a sewing machine. ^_^; However, the plushiePr0n video is almost done!! I'll put that up on youtube or something when I get back. It's horrible and probally not funny to anyone else, but it makes me giggle because I know the background. Just gotta get the sound to work, and all will be good. And I'll have to downsize it for uploading. So it'll wait until I'm back.Sitewise: added a little CSS tutorial to my free graphics site. Added all my forms and made sure they work to my tts page. Still don't have anything to update the gwg with, but it's only a matter of time. Hey, I just realized, it's been almost 10 years!! I'll have to plan something for that. Come hell or high water, I will do something special for the anniversary in October.That's the news, news it is across my sites. Tune in next time, same Du time, same Du channel! *swoops away*

first real post

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 07:42:07 -0700

Yesh, first post. Still trying to remember my anime list. I'll try and remember to finish it tonight. I can't spell a lot of things, so I have to wait until I find them again so I can get the spelling right. ^_^; I added the RSS feed for my main site, so this will at least look like I'm updating it. *ahem*

Added a link to the sig for the FOTW.Added my latest pixel arts to my pixel site.Added my last form to my request site.Finished cleaning out TTS and getting it ready to go again. GO REQUEST SOMETHING FROM SOMEONE!Finished some new pixel bases and added them to my pixel site.Ummm....what else have I been doing?Playing Zelda: Twilight Princess again. Did you know you can play fetch with the dogs in the Castle Town?? It's so cuuuute! ^_^; Also ran across a few new little things that I never noticed before. Hooray for replayablity!Went and saw Transformers this past weekend. Now, I'm not a die-hard Transformers fan. I mean, I watched it some when my brother did and I liked it, but I wasn't a huge fan. So I can't comment on discrepencies. However, I had a great time and enjoyed it. Yes, there were things that didn't quite work, but overall, it was fun to go see and I really liked that they didn't dumb it down and 'kidify' it. This was made for the original fans, not for the purpose of reinventing them for the younger generation. That was a big plus in my book. Plus, Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime FTW! Sorry, Bumblebee was cute and liked him and all, but Optimus Prime was my favorite from the original, and he's still my favorite. I loved how he looked and it's the same VA! w00t! I could say more, but this journal has run on long enough. Blah. I guess this isn't such a minor entry anymore. ^_^;Edit: Oh, and AI is a go! Got the tickets, just need to pre-reg when they get their site back. w00t!!

Been doing more pixel arts from time to time, so made a new site for them. ^_^; Yeah.Been kinda down lately. Just tired I guess. Stupid allergies are really messing me up. So much rain too! I mean, flooding in Texas. Rare, but happens. But at the end of JUNE?? o.O All the lakes in this area are actually over what they're supposed to be. Which is good, hopefully no drought this year. But still. Damn.In other news, I wish TVNihon would release the next YuGiOh fansub. ><

New layout! One I'm really happy with, too! It even gave me some other ideas that I'm going to try. In other news, Little Kuriboh is back with new episodes! And AI is up in the air. If I can get the plane tickets, I should be fine. But as I'm very broke right now, I don't know. So here's REALLY REALLY HOPING!!

'ello again. ^_^ Here's the latest on this end:- GBD is done!! I've been adding things here and there, and I want to try and add something every week. We'll see how long that lasts. ^_^;- My gallery (dubird's ark) has finally gotten a facelift. Chibi Catboy!! *squee!* I'm rather happy with how it looks now, and we'll see how that goes.- My FFXI site is pretty much dead. I just can't seem to post anything, espically since I haven't actually acomplished much. I may revive it at a later point, though.- My store has something new: Tentacles! XD Yes, it's an odd thing, but you hentai fans might enjoy it. *G*- Hey, I have a Livejournal! *sheepish look* With my home computer being down, I kinda forgot about it for a while. But I'm remembering it now.And that's about it for now. My browsers at home are acting very odd, so I'm trying to fix that. Hopefully, I can do so soon, because the laggy is really annoying!

Ok. For those that actually read my devArt journal, you know my home computer went down. Thought it was simple hardware issue. Got the heatsink and cpu fan installed with the help of friends, and booted it back up. Unfortunatly, it would hardlock. Bad. As in, sometimes it wouldn't even let windows finish booting up. So, one of my friends is getting me a better copy of XP since mine disappeared in the move. We think that's the problem. With a bit of patience, I discovered that I could leave it on the BIOS screen for a while, and I could get windows to work for a little bit. Long enough for me to move what little I hadn't backed up to my scratch drive for safety. Last night, I was going to get on and check on my chocobo in FFXI when my computer died. Just died. The power supply appears to be out of whack. I can sometimes see a little flash from the LED fan on the back of it, but it appears to be shorting out.I've been without my home computer for almost three weeks now. I go home at night, and I don't have much to do except play ZTP on my GameCube. Which, I've made a great deal of progress on, but long periods of time on that make my wrist hurt, so I haven't played it lately. (plus, i just don't want the story to end!! that, and i know Ganon will kick my ass repeatidly, and i want to delay that annoyance as much as possble. XD) Anyways, that's the reason why I haven't had hardly any online presence in a while. I'm on at work, but you know, I also have work that needs done, so I don't always have time to do stuff. But I'm planning on putting my scratch drive into an enclosure and staying late up here this week sometime to finish some things that need finishing. I'm telling ya, after my AC is fixed and i have a good pair of glasses, I'll be upgrading my computer. I'm tired of this. Well, that, and I want to play Oblivion and have it look like it's supposed to. *ahem*

Wow, 2007 already?Damn, I need to update this thing. ^_^;;;Ok, well, yeah. Here we are another year, another...umm...whatever. Really, I don't know. I've been catching up on some reading (hooray, B&N giftcard!) and basicly piddling around. I have, however, put up the first three chapters of my otaku senshi story. We'll see how that goes. If I can get the webspace I need for the gwg, that should get moved this week. I've got to finish updating the database with the wallpapers for my free graphics site, as well as do a new layout for the gwg. And make the wallpapers for that I had planned to make. And, I really do want to update the layout here. Trouble is, I don't know with what. I've tried several times, and I just don't know. Nothing strikes my fancy lately, though I do have some good ideas I should complete for my free graphics site. Oh, and create a new site for FFXI comissions. Blaurgh. Too much to do!! *dies*Oh, but I did get my THF up to lvl 45. Booya! XD
