I have a visitor
Aug. 24th, 2009 | 09:18 pm
Saturday we are all sitting around gaming when someone says "Look! A kitty!"
A little calico showed up on our patio and looked to be half starved. We gave her a ton of food and she ate like an Asian man at a hotdog eating contest. She finally waddled off after getting her fill.
I cannot find her owners... but she is so friendly she must have had people at some point.
There was a missing calico reported quite the distance from here, but that one is declawed and when checking her paws tonight I found this little girl still has hers.
I was going to cage her and have her checked for a microchip, but I found out tonight that she appears to be nursing.
With the babies somewhere around, I cannot get her to a shelter without finding the little ones first.
I am hoping that if we keep feeding her, she will eventually bring her litter with her. If that happens, I have to hope that there will be a spot open at the shelter.
Wish me luck,
Me, saving the world, one kitty at a time.

Hear a song on the radio and of course they did not say who it was. An hour and a half later I emailed them and found out what it was. Tried to find a download, but seems its not going to be available until the 4th. >.<
That's okay, cause I can listen to it here!
I kinda want a new computer... I wanna make AMVs... this one is screaming at me to make one. I am thinking Escaflowne.

Holiday??? For ME??!?
Jul. 4th, 2009 | 09:23 am
Other than Christmas Day and Thanksgiving when the store is closed, this is my first holiday off in TWELVE YEARS!!!
I have no idea what to do with myself.
We are going to a cook out at my in-laws at some point, then attempting to have one here (which will be interesting since we do not have an outdoor grill). My husband was joking (I hope) about taking the little George Foreman knockoff we have and an extention cord outside.
Hmm.. my first Fouth of July off in twelve years and me without any fireworks. I have a few dollars in my pocket to maybe I will find a roadside stand and pick up a little something.

SNAKE!!!!! (and a dragonfly)
Jun. 2nd, 2009 | 01:04 pm
On Sunday my husband and I decided to head to a state park.
The nature center had a huge one way window and a bunch of feeders which attracted a ton of bird and little fuzzies. I got to see a wild turkey! He was being a bit shy, but it was still cool to see what looked like a 30lb turkey that escaped form the Butterball Farm.
There were baby woodchucks (who thought it was fun to make the turkey freak out) and raccoons and chipmunks, and a ton of different kinds of birds. I've never seen a woodpecker close enough before to know what it looked like other than a blur banging on a tree. Its a shame the wonderful glass that allowed me to see all the nifty things was also messing horribly with my camera. >.<
I found a pretty dragonfly by the lake that was kind enough to stay still. (Hurray for tonbo the color of my eyes!)
( Snakes in a Cut! )

I waited four months for this!?!
May. 19th, 2009 | 02:52 pm
I've been plotting... I've been waiting.
I'm wanting to get back into painting gaming miniatures, this time on a serious bases.
I got myself a ton of paints (yay, ebay!), a few new brushes ... a few older VHS for dirt cheap to see some basic techniques being done, and I have been waiting... waiting to prime a few figures and get the ball rolling.
In the past I have used testors for priming my minis. I thought I would support the local gaming shop and pick up the brand that they had. Big mistake.
Now my minis sit in nailpolish remover to get the last bit of that fuzzy poo they called grey primer out of the detailed areas.
And my hands are grey....
and I know I am going to have a headache from fumes...
and I don't have any minis to paint now that I have the time...
::sigh::

Writer's Block: Same Name
May. 18th, 2009 | 07:20 pm
Met, no. But someone with the same birthdate and same first and last name lives a few miles from me. I was getting a prescription and there is a clone of me out there. I might have to track her down someday. Especially since we thought my husband was only other one with our last name other than his grandmother (at least in the area).

Holy cow!
Seven new kinds of eggs???
I hope they are not limited... I don't always have time to click and post and hunt.
( Two regular old eggs (and two new ones!) )
Wish me luck on getting the new ones!
I am off to ninjaclick. :)

WIIIINGS!!!!!
Mar. 14th, 2009 | 07:01 pm
I am going to have to buy more fabric for my backdrop now.... they are HUGE as promised!
I am also going to have to put her back in her armor once I get my photo area revamped, but I wanted to at least get one up here tonight. :)
They are not fully extended here, I gave them a little curl to help her keep her balance and so the would not be all unnaturally flat looking. Forty one delicious inches of bronze dragony goodness!

It's the little things in life...
Mar. 10th, 2009 | 03:26 pm
So I am poking around the Bed, Bath & Beyond site because I am needing a new comforter or duvet, or SOMETHING for my bed as my current comforter is becoming a little sad.
Anyways, I do a random search for drgonfly stuff (as I do love the dragonflies) and saw some fancy tableware. Pricey tableware... like no way am I going to get it pricey tableware. And then these words make me lol so hard.
Platinum Gravy Boat
There is something epically funny about a platinum gravy boat. Why? I am not sure. Perhaps the sheer ostentatiousness of it ... or the fact I have been playing a lot of D&D lately, and playing dragon-ie characters with hording instincts. Or maybe its only because I have been up since 3:00am. I am not sure.
No way am I going to pay $219.99 for a gravy boat... but at least I got a good laugh out of it.

SQUEEE!!!
Mar. 4th, 2009 | 11:00 am
mood: 
excited
I just got pictures of the wings SilverFaction is making for Darastrix!!
I've been wanting to get or make her wings for almost two years now, and she should have gotten them a year ago when she grew them in game, but my lack of confidence in my own skill had me keep putting it off.... shame on me.
She modeled them after the D&D bronze dragon wings, and I think they are going to look awesome on her. :)
They are going to be HUGE!!! ::dances::
I was trying to get a few photos of Darastrix today, and I think as floppy as she was being, I am going to need to change out her elastic before the wings come in. I just don't understand... a week ago she was solid as a rock, now she's all wanting to faceplant or fall backwards if one of the cats breaks wind across the room. >.<

New do for Nanu
Jan. 30th, 2009 | 06:10 pm
I need to get some better pictures as the light I had to work with was the infamous "Indiana Sky Grey" and his pretty eyes are not showing up at all... but here is "Beyondo" in his new wig.
I'm really happy with it. Its got the two toned and short layered look of his old "too big for his little pin head" fur wig, but its fiber which I am finding that I prefer. Got it for a steal in the marketplace too. :D
On a side note, I have this weekend off! Whoot!
It will be a little busy though.. we are starting our new D&D campain up tomorrow. Should be interesting as we are all playing our previous characters' children. I'll miss playing Darastrix, but her adventures (as well as my husband's chracter) will continue in writing.
I've been itching to inresinate my new character, but I really need to see how she develops over the next few months before even contemplating going that route... I should not even be thinking of getting another doll... silly addictive resin muses.

Stoned kitties
Jan. 26th, 2009 | 12:51 pm
My kitties do love the nip....
For a laugh my husband put in "The Division Bell" when they were all nipped up and wired. They calmed right down, and Alex looked rather upset when the CD was over, so we played it again for them.
So now, they have a tradition... they get nip and they get their Pink Floyd.
They decided the top of the kitty tower and the fluffy green towel could be shared, though they did not like the camera so much.
( Mellow, yet irriated. )

Why must everything I love die????
Jan. 16th, 2009 | 07:21 pm
From food to stores.... If I like something, it gets pulled from the shelves .. or in the case of stores, they close.]
Now my Circut City will be closing. Why do all the stores with competent employees that actually give a rat's behind go under, but the ones with the dinks that rather neck in the stockroom than help you make a purchase thrive?
It ticks me off to no end... food stuffs and beverages I can handle, I've even gotten to the point where I joke with my husband "Hmm.. cannot find it anywhere anymore, they must have found out we liked it", but now I have to see the good people that have helped my buy every single electronic device since the day I got a job lose their jobs!
::sigh::
At least we were able to give them one last Huzzah last month when we upgaded our tv and dvd player.... it just still breaks my heat cause they were all so happy and grateful that they had their jobs (the brand new store across town was one of the ones closed last month).
It's just not fair...

Dollie interrupted....
Jan. 14th, 2009 | 12:18 pm
So.. I wanted to get some pictures of my Juri-A for Bev, but my Nanuri was using the body at the time. So I figured I would get a few shots of him before I swapped heads and outfits around. I took several head shots while I had him sitting, but as soon as I stood him up... someone declared it was now "mommy and me time".
( More... )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kenohki vacated my lap for his noontime nap, so I took the oppoertunity to take those shots I wanted to earlier.
( More... )

Disney backed out of making the third Narnia movie! >.<
I hope Walden Media finds someone else to help finance the movie.... I was rather looking forward to it.
I think I am about done with Disney.... they won't make "Dawn Treader" but they continue to make guaranteed to flop stuff like "Space Buddies"?? (I seriously think my IQ dropped when I saw the preview for that last night.)

My favorite book series (Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth) is being made into a tv series and comes out on the 1st!!!!
I am seriously concidering taking the day off and having a SoT party.
So HAPPY!!!
Sure it could turn out to be an EPIC fail... but I am still happy that its finally happening.
Now... if I could only get James Cameron off his butt to make that Battle Angel movie he has been teasing me with for years... ^_^;
