Ok, so today was a productive day. Got a lot of things done. The only one I wish to note right now is the new colorbar of my making.

Tada! Pretty ain’t it? Ok. Gotta go hang up the permanent press. Ja!

The Routine keeps you going
2006-Apr-05, Wednesday 10:39 pmBeware, for I am:
Blah
Not much happened today. Wait...that’s not right. Stuff happened. Lot’s of stuff. What happened today? /thinks Ok..I called the boss-lady and asked if there was any time that she wanted me to come pick up my stuff, and she said any time. I apologized and she ‘accepted my apology’. ...Mom and I went walking. We walked 2 miles and decided to go check out Nanny McPhee at the dollar theater. I think Mom wants to perk me up or something. Truthfully, the only thing that really bothers me besides the lack of income is the lack of productivity. I’m afraid I’ll get lazy if I don’t have something to keep me going. Anyway. Mom and I walked. We saw a few things around the stores to look at on our last lap (the cool-out lap). We ended up going into Bath&Body Works, and I finally got to see (or smell as it were) the Cherry Blossom fragrances that
chaineddove had told me about. OMG, Odango, you weren’t kidding. I have to admit that I like the white and pink products more than the yellow colored ones. They had a white, yellow, and pink variety of cherry blossom stuff and the yellow was way too strong. I like subtle fragrances. Your perfume isn’t supposed to announce you, it’s supposed to accompany you...and all that jazz.
After the walk, we deposited my check into checkings and then we headed over to Burger King to visit with Grandmere. She’s always at Burger King between the hours of 9:30ish to about 11. Allways with gets her biscuit (well done), her medium diet coke (which she refills throughout the day) and sits and talks with her sister and whoever else should wander through the door and be in the mood to talk. We stayed and talked for a while, then Mom had to deposit some money in her bank.
Then we headed over to the agency to pick up my stuff. We got everything cleaned out in record timing; packed it all in a box and was ready to go. I did forget to get Mrs. R to sign my time sheet, but I can sign it and fax it to her and she can sign it and send it on. I hope...Mrs. A has always loved my chocolate treasure candies, and she always finds an excuse to sneak in and get one. So I grabbed a handful and put them on her desk and said “For the road” she thanked me and we were on our way. No one else talked to us. No one else so much as looked at us. /shrug I’ll assume they were all too busy and leave it at that.
We got home and my Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe was in. I love special edition stuff. It’s great so far, and all I’ve watched is the bonus footage. I thought I recognized Mr. Tumnus from the movie, and I know where now. He’s the same guy that played as Leto in Children of Dune. He’s got this really sexy Irish accent. It’s absolutely adorable. I also have this wonderful Unicorn Coloring book that I ordered with it (shut up! It was like $2 and the shipping was free if I added $2 so..so...shut up!). But really, it’s the coolest coloring book I’ve ever seen. But I’m not going to color it till I get a new Printer/Scanner/Copier. I want to scan the pages so I’ll be able to color it as much as I like, whenever I like.
That’s another thing. Poor old Madison hasn’t been working right at all. She says that her black and white print cartridge is not installed properly. But every time I check it, I only find that it is installed properly, and then I take it out and put it in again and all she’ll do is blink at me and say it’s not done right. /sighs Oi, these machines. I can print on her though, which is odd...She just won’t scan or copy anything. I was going to get a new one as soon as I’d saved up enough money to get a really good one, but…well. The best laid plans, no da.
Anyway. Mom was feeling sleepy, so she went and napped while I dove into obsessive fan-girl heaven watching the CON (Chronicles of Narnia) bonus footage. These children are charming...Really. I mean, forget the fact that William Moseley (Peter) is extremely cute. They’re all just such a delight. It was a pleasure to watch them be themselves and have fun. This isn’t a occurrence that I’m accustomed to. I have made it evident on several occasions that I loath children to the very core of my being. And to find myself enjoying watching these children was a surprise. Maybe it’s because they’re British...that must be it.
Anyway. Mom finally got up from her nap. She went outside to read on the patio and she spotted two small wood-peckers. She called me out to take pictures, but my camera was kinda dieing and they were too far off anyway. And much too fast to catch on camera.
I came back and Mom wanted to fix her famous strawberry popsicles. She takes sugar, water and freshly grown strawberries and puts them all in a blender, then into little wax cups and puts a pop cycle stick in the center and freezes them all. She makes like 200 and we slowly eat them over the summer. I washed the strawberries and she blended and poured.
Then I went and made this little colorbar.

Kidd Kraddick is my favorite morning radio show. I was upset that I wasn’t waking up early enough to listen to them on a regular basis after the job thing. So I made this for fun.
Then, I watched half of tonight’s Bones. I’d taped it but I couldn’t get through it and check mail and stuff before CSI: NY rolled around. It was really good...both of them, I just don’t know how Bones ends.
Now, I’m showered and the pills are kicking in (thus the shorter sentences), so I’m off to bed. G’night everyone.

Contemplative
Wow, what a day. After I posted here...what did I do? Hm...I know I watched the second season of Gargoyles again. Oh yeah, I was making raspberry green tea and Reiko called. She has a new boy friend (wonder among wonders), but this one actually seems to have his act together. 24, has a good job, makes $500 a week. We’ll have to see how things go. Anyway. I started watching Gargoyles while we were ‘talking’...she was crunching on ice and talking about...what the hell was she talking about? At one point it was about a Mexican rapper or something...And somewhere in there my sexuality came into question since I kept saying that Fox was really hot. But, come on, her name is Fox for the love of pizza! They don’t call her Fox for nothing, ya know! Reiko said something about me being a lesbian, to which I responded with something like ‘Nuh-uh! I’m bi!’ and she’s like ‘Seriously?’ and I’m like, ‘No, dumbass.’ And she’s like ‘Oh, cuz sometimes…’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, you backstabbing, cockbite!’ and she laughed because it’s a red vs blue thing! I then calmly explained that I like guys, but even I can tell when a chika is hot. After all, I didn’t hear her complaining when I compliment her very nice ass.
Ok...so after that, I read some more in my new D&D book. I enjoy reading RPG books for the simple fact that they get my creative juices going. It makes me want to write stuff. And MM writing is a very happy MM. I think it’s one of the reasons I enjoy buying RPG books so much. I’ve got all these ideas for my different races inside my head, and I’m not sure how I should describe them, or how the science of the race will work. Seeing how other people work science on the other races gets my brain working in a scientific way, thus solving the problem.
rattgirl sent me a guide to the Dark Sun RPG, which I will be eternally grateful for. They have some races and classes in there I’ve never even heard of before, which is a first for me. Usually when someone mentions Wizards I have an idea of what they are, but it sounds like they’re something completely different in Dark Sun. And the Half Elves seem way different from what I’m used to. I mean, I’ve mostly got all the EverQuest RPG books, and I’ve only recently started getting the D&D books...I only have the Draconomicon and now I have the Races of the Wild book. Other than that, I got nothin’ D&Dish. Which, in an average RPGers collection, is basically nothing. I swear, this has become a terrible obsession >___< Oh well, it’s helping me to develop my world and all the characters in it better. Either that, or it’s bogging me down, and I’m drowning in the fountain of too much information.
What else did I do today? Oh yeah, I updated Sloths Gone Mad. Nothing really huge, I just removed the frames...which, was really huge...for me, but not for anyone else. I’m getting ready to put up new stuff...the Orvil page along with the Color Bar page. I just have to tweak the graphics.
Watched Gilmore Girls rerun with Mom right after we watched Wife Swap or...Trading Spouses...I think it was Wife Swap. One comes on on Fridays and the other is Mondays. I just can’t keep them separate. Then we watched CSI: Miami. So glad that they aren’t rerunning anymore.
Speaking of not rerunning, can’t wait for Survivor this week. I used to have that show, but since I started taping it for the rents, it’s become a family tradition. We all watch Survivor together and talk about the craziness. And CSI should be interesting as well...then again they all are. I find myself even watching reruns...I know what’s gonna happen. I remember everything. But I still enjoy watching them. I’m pretty sure that’s some part of the OCD contract.
My hair is now dry...and it’s crinkly and curly and sticking out from my head with strange twists in it...The bad part about cutting my hair is that it makes it high maintenance. I told Mom that I’d love to be able to just shave my head. She said I could, but then I asked her what she think that’d do to my job prospects. We both agreed that it wouldn’t be a good career move considering my chosen profession.
Man...there are a lot of tags on this entry. Maybe I should shut up before it gets to be too long.
On that note, I’m hungry. I’m gonna go get something to eat and then take my pills. Goodnight.

So long, and thanks for all the fish

Blah
Hello, everyone. Today has been interesting to say the least. Went with Mom to the doctor this morning and Doc gave us medicine. I gotta say, I feel worse today than I felt over the weekend. Mom had a sort of relapse thing, and now I’m afraid I might do the same thing. God, I hate being sick like this.
Ok, so Mom and I got food and medicine while we were in town, and if felt like it took us everything we had just to do that. So, we got home and took our meds, and the meds made us a little woozy. But, I still got on and gathered up pictures to make color bars. I present to you the two Johnny Depp color bars that I made for Chibi (
amai_tenshi).

I have posted here, in her journal, and sent her the raw html codes. I found out that the link that I use through the Massive Tool Thingy to link back to my journal can be used on any web page unlike LJ’s ljuser html thingy.
I also made these three colorbars for Demona my favorite character from Gargoyles. Tada!

I just can’t decide which one I like better! They’re all good and all true, so I kept them all. Yeah. I’m a looser.
Reiko came over afterward...I think it was afterward...yeah it was. ‘Cause I showed her all the colorbars and Johnny was among them. I had been bugging her about her books that she’d left over here. She brought chocolate chip cookies, we watched many videos and had some delight even though I was ailing thusly. Dude. No matter how hard I try to use cool words like that, I never sound as good as
tinhuviel.
Oh! I got an e-mail from an old friend of mine who saw my profile on MySpace. Good old Senshi (not that he’s old or anything). We kinda lost track of each other and got busy with life. You know how that goes, you forget to drop a line and life just goes on without you. But he sent me an e-mail and got a song stuck in my head, and got me to rambling and made me totally forget what I was doing, so we’re all good. /stops and looks back and forth confused Uh...whatever. Anyway, yeah so, it was great to hear from him again. That’s the second old friend that I haven’t talked to in what felt like ages that I’ve gotten in touch with lately. I hope it keeps up. I’ve gotten to where I feel like I don’t have anyone to talk to through e-mails and AIM and such before all this.
Ah well. Other than that...not much has happened. I started writing the beginnings of another EQ chapter. But it’s probably barely a page long. I’ll have to see what I’m doing and how I’m feeling tomorrow before I can say how that’ll develop.
Well, I’m really tired and I’ve been fighting off this feeling all day long. I shall now submit to the meds and sleep. Goodnight.

Color Bar Crazy

I hate drug-induced sleep. I’d just like to go on record saying that. I hate it. It makes you sleepy all of a sudden, and then you groggily sleep for God-knows how long, and you wake up and you’re still technically sleepy...but you can’t really sleep. That’s what happened to me at least. Now, I’m mostly awake and wondering how I’m gonna sleep tonight with all the sleeping I’ve been doing today.
I did get a chance to confirm with Odango (
chaineddove) what she wanted on her colorbar. So that’s done. But I kinda got a little over creative and made two. Same pictures and all, just a slightly different message. We’ll have to see which one she likes.

Aren’t they cool? I like them myself. I figured the second one with the “not so” crossed out and then replaced with oh-so-innocent would be a tribute to the sarcastic comment. Either way I like ‘em. If I had known this colorbar thing was so fun and easy in the first place, I would’ve started doing it a lot sooner. /shrug that’s life. I’ll have to e-mail this entry along with the codes to her.
The only other thing to show is the Orvil colorbar. It came out very nicely. It’s cute, and since Orvil is cute then it works.

I think Reiko will really like that.
I’m going into another drowsy fit. I hate it when I loose my train of thought. Especially when I’m trying to actively think. Oh well. I’m gonna see if I can’t get a few more elf descriptions to put on
ruby_unicorn. Other than that, it’s bedy-bye for me.

Mostly about images
2006-Jan-07, Saturday 11:46 pm
Good
Ok, so today pretty much just dragged on. Got up around 9 as usual. Hung out with Mom for a while. We were both feeling miserable. In fact it seems like we’re not getting any better, though Mom’s always much worse than I am. So, she made a doctor’s appointment for Monday (though I don’t recall the exact time). I talked on the phone with Reiko for a while, then I cleaned my room up. My Mom said she’d faint from the shock.
Then I got online and talked with Odango (
chaineddove) for a while. She’s back home at college instead of her folks place. I told her about the colorbars that I made for Reiko, Chibi, Chibi’s Cats and Me and she said something about wanting one. And well, I did have a link to her photobucket page so I went over and collected 7 suitable pictures. I just need her to tell me what type of thing she wants on the “is love” part, and her colorbar will be finished. I also decided to make an Orvil colorbar for Reiko. I figured since Chibi has her kitties, I might make Reiko a colorbar for something that’s hers. I suppose if I were to make a colorbar...it would have to either be my books...or my sand critters. I’m not sure.
Ah yes, and I’ve taken to using Image Shack now that PhotoBucket has shown its limits. It sent me a message about how I can only have 50MB for my pics and all. So, I went over and started deleting things that I didn’t necessarily have to have up there, and fixing things thusly on LJ. But of course I wanted to make sure I had a backup. ImageShack doesn’t allow you to organize things quiet as nicely as PhotoBucket, but it’ll do. Doe anyone else know of a good image storing place?
Oh! I almost forgot (how could I?). I found out from Odango that us free-loaders get 6 icons now instead of only 3! I was so excited! I went and uploaded three more icons right away. Then, I quickly went and told Chibi (
amai_tenshi), because she, like me, never pokes her head out of her cubby hole to check the actual LJ page. If it doesn’t pertain to friends, then it goes unnoticed. That’s how it is for me anyway.
Ok, I’m majorly sleepy right now. So, I am going to close this out, e-mail it to Jen-Twin (
animequeen), and go to sleep. 6:30 a.m. will come early tomorrow, like it always does. Goodnight!
