Christ, I haven't posted in forever. It's been a hectic month or so. Good, but hectic.

I have a new paleozoology-related blog! If dinosaurs and ancient mammals are your thing, check out http://dinofelis.net

And if you know anyone interested in said prehistoric beasties, please pass the link along :3 I'd really like to get this off the ground, even if I can only amass a small following. It's an endeavor towards getting an internship with a science magazine, which I really, really want. Over break I spoke to some people involved in science writing, and I was essentially told that dreams do come true. Being a total dork and being interested in nerdy science-y things actually can translate into a line of employment.

Pretty soon I'm also going to update my food blog and re-locate it on blogspot... and probably under a sub-domain of dinofelis.net :B

As for dolls, I'm pretty certain I want to replace Kyu with a mini. Currently I'm trying to get ahold of someone to see if a custom sculpt might be possible... but I'm looking for other company sculpts as well, just in case. If you've seen a particularly mature/foxy MSD head recently, I'd love to take a look :D Ideally, he'll end up on a MNF A-line body.

ALSO CHECK OUT MAH DRAGONZ LAWL. http://dragcave.net/user/celebare They all have RETARDED names.

Jumping on the bandwagon here :B

Please click my dragon egg? I rescued it from the floor D:

So... Kyu might be getting re-shelled. Again :B His second re-shelling was supposed to be as a mini until I fell in love with Karon - Kyu's supposed to be pretty freaking short, after all, and the Lati blue body would put him at the perfect height compared to Roo and Tan. I don't know what head I'd use, but I'm leaning towards a modded MNF Shiwoo (which was what he was going to be before Karon, anyway).

I'm keeping the Karon head, though. If Kyu doesn't work as a mini, I can sell the mini shell and use the money for an SD body for him. If the mini works, I can save the Karon for something else.

Minis are so much easier to transport 8D;

BTW, Otakon was pretty sweet. No photos because I'm lame.

Last day of work this summer.

Gonna be late. Don't care 8D; I wish I'd had the forethought to call off today as well, but I didn't. Ah, well - it's money, I guess.

I might, just might finish Japanese with my soul in-tact. Also, sekrit mod project is frustratingly close to being done :C I have so little time for anything right now. Otakon will be a blessed vacation.

Dear Japanese,

Take that, biyatch >:O Looks like I'm finally getting somewhere. With myarmcanfly's help, I do believe I'm going to pass my second session with flying colors. My first one today was cake, but it was all reading, so I was able to focus just on that for several hours.

Also, I love the Pirates CCG/pocket model game/whatever-it's-called >3>; Not only does it involve collecting sweet cards, but there are adorable little ships to build ;o; And blowing other peoples' pirate ships up = awesome.

ETA: Halfblood Prince preview looks promising :D

Dear OSU housing,

Please send me my housing assignment. It's the end of July and I still don't know where I'm living in September :C

Why yes, this is coming along nicely ;D By no means is she finished, but we're getting there...

ETA: MARKETPLACE ACCESS?? REALLY??? Ahmahgad, please don't let it be a glitch ;O;

I'm buying the StarCraft anthology for my Mac. Why, you ask? Because I freaking love StarCraft and I don't have any games on my mac yet, that's why.

Also, it was only 14$ for both the original game and Brood Wars. I will be freakin' ready when StarCraft II comes out. (If it's an MMO I will get it, no matter how hard WoW sucks)

I'm pretty darned old today :D When do I get to start lying about my age?

I think I'm going to tell people I'm only five years old :DDDDD

(it feels weird to be 22 XD)

Sorry for the spam :B

This is a little prose piece I'm working on for myarmcanfly, concerning the FUTURE! for Kyu and her character Rom. Actually, the surrounding plot is really just a vehicle for the fable within the story, but that's not important XD

I realize this won't make very much sense to anyone else, but I rather like it, so I'm going to post it. This is the first half of the whole story. I'll post the second half when I finish it XD

( Sad Kyu is sad :{ )

Aughghghg Japanese. No love for you >:[

I'm hungry and I can't decide whether to spend the half-hour or so and 7$ I need to grab lunch, or stay here and study for my repeat session at 4:30 (which I spent a good three hours yesterday and two more this morning studying for, only to fail it) and be ravenous by the end of it.

At least I'm fairly certain I'll get an A on this session :< And I still have free repeats left, which means my failure just now won't cost me grade points. But Christ, I hate it when I actually study and it doesn't work out for me D:

I need to switch to the classroom section for my last quarter asap =^=

Thankfully, I'm not actually failing it. I'm just going more slowly than I'd like.

( Capricious (Lucas, +5) )

I love her so hard ;o; I wish her eyebrows matched her wig better, but it's most obvious in photos. I hardly notice in person. But that's probably because she's BLINDING ME WITH HER CUTE.

I've decided to give Crest whitestrips a try. They're very uncomfortable, to say the least :C All gummy and tingly, and you can't talk/eat/drink for thirty minutes. But one of my canines is weirdly yellow, and my smile looks kind of gross in photos. Plus, this will force me to brush twice a day, every day.

I should stop watching House and Discovery Health D:

It looks like I'll definitely be at Otakon :D And assuming I can get my shit together, I'll have an excellent steampunk outfit for Saturday. I'm really looking forward to the doll meetup X3 Little meetups are nice, but it's great to go to the big ones every now and then.

Mod project X is going swimmingly. I have all the right materials to finish up, so now it's down to actually... finishing up :B For the head, at least. I still need magnets for the body, but that's about it.

Went to Comfest today and had a total blast X3 The Pride parade was fantastic.

I'm sitting on a bench in the lovely outdoors on the south oval, on my macbook. Writing. Luckily, I'm not wearing anything trendy or eating something organic - because if I was any more yuppie right now, I might die.

I'm a ways from the nearesy campus building, and getting a perfect signal. How weird is that?

Check it out, it's an update :B

I still haven't decided what to do with the NaNu '07 head. I have a lot of ideas, but none of them have stuck yet. myarmcanfly said I should make him Count D from Petshop of Horrors, which would be pretty cool - Petshop is definitely my favorite manga series, and there's a lot of room for creativity with that. But he doesn't fit into my characters' storylines at all. I'm also considering another Mask Salesman character, but she's not very vocal yet, so I don't think that's right either. But oh well. I'm sure something will stick :'D

I'm hoping to earn/save enough to buy Kyu's body or Osaiah's new shell (probably Osaiah :B), and to that end as soon as Mystery Commission is finished, I'll be officially re-opening my mod shop. Not sure where I'll post info about it, as I'm wary of putting it on DoD... but I don't really expect to get many commissions anyway.

I want to get back into playing Magic: The Gathering, and I've been persuaded to try Pirates :B The trouble with Magic is how behind I am. I'm a newbie in a two-decade-old game, and all of my cards are at least ten years old. But I do have some pretty good cards... if I can find some kind-hearted veterans to play against, I should be good. I miss trading-card games ;o;

And Lucas has a new wig...! My last trip to Volks was really weird. They were kind of cleaned out o___O They had the full stock of wigs and eyes, but only half of their usual stock of clothing for SDs, and even less than that for MSDs. Needless to say, I didn't get anyone anything new to wear. The wig was a good find, though.

My mac = best computer I've ever owned, hands down.

I'm staying in California an extra week 8D; My mom is out of town with my youngest sister, and I was assigned to take care of the house until she gets back. So here I am. It's nice, because I get control of her nice new kitchen and her car, and I don't have to pay for my own food for another week :B

Headed to Volks today with my other sister to show off little Lulu. My mother is probably taking me back again next weekend, as well XD; But today, wigs and underpants are on the agenda.

I'm hooked on the Sims again >o> I must find a way to play my Windows games on my Mac. I'm thinking of using boot camp to install either Windows XP, or a free Linux-type OS... I have a ton of Windows games I'd love to play now that I have a machine qualified to run them, but they're all PC-only.

(The graphics card on this computer is well-qualified to play even EverQuest - I'd like to see how it runs with this much space on the hard-drive...)

Urhurhurhurrr, I have a new computer :B It's a macbook. I've been converted. And with apple care, no matter how hard I am on this thing, I'll be able to get it repaired - which is why I bought it in the first place XD

I also got a new iPod touch (or iTouch, tehee ;3) for free with the student discount. It's small, only 8GB, but it's intensely shiny and can access wifi connections. And I named it iSabelle :BBB

My wireless connection at hope is absurdly slow, so I still won't be online until I get back to C-Bus. Expect updates on the sekrit mod project then >D




.....This computer is adorable.

Vista ate my laptop >:T Writing this from my Wii. Lame. Won't have a comp till next week.

I can watch youtube vids on this thing. It's pretty sweet.
