Looks like a nice redesign happened over at the reverse cowgirl’s blog. I like the new look. It’s always nice to see original designs on blogs instead of some of the standard templates.

Wondering what to get that family member who has everything this year? Here is the gift for the person you can never think of anything for: Breast Scarves. They’re fun for the whole family.

Tonight my friend Sean IM’d me asking if I had a new green container. I looked around and was wondering what the heck he was talking about. I had my oxygen tanks, which were green. But I had no idea how he’d know they were delivered. They I looked over at the bag that my friend Ethan had brought me from the club last night and saw something with a green tint inside.

On looking in the bag I found this, a Nalgene water bottle. I remembered how Sean had been telling me about how cool these water bottles were and how he carries his everywhere. I’ll give it a try. I got the green one. I bet it will glow nicely under blacklight.

If it is snowing out, and you aren’t sure exactly how much will actually fall, park your car in a non-snow emergency spot. Otherwise you’ll be fucked when they call one and there’s no place close to your apartment.

I just moved my car, just in case. I got screwed last year at one point by that, it sucked. Btw, if we get a lot of snow who wants to clean off my car?

I’m fairly positive that we’ve already established that I am a big fangirling dork. Okay. So, I discovered a dollmaker program a few weeks ago, and immediately starting making little avatars from some of my favorite series. And now I will force them down your unwilling gullet! Bwahaha! A warning before we start: all these files take a little time to load.

The girls of Card Captor Sakura – left to right, Tomoyo, Sakura in a Card Captor Costume, Sakura in everyday wear, Meiling, Nadesiko, Sonomi, Ruby Moon
The Boys of Card Captor Sakura – Yue, Touya, Syaoran, Eriol and Yukito. Yukito’s pretty crappy, but what can you do.
Clover – Suu, Oruha, Kazuhiko, Gingetsu and Ran.
Escaflowne girls – Hitomi, Merlulu, Millerna and Varie.
Escaflowne Boys – Van, Allen, Folken, Dilandau, Dryden. The boys came out much better than the girls.
Final Fantasy X Girls – Yuna, Lulu and Rikku. Believe it or not it took three tries to get Lulu right. It’s the damn dress.
Yet more Yunas! – In her wedding dress and FFX-2 gettup
Final Fantasy X Boys – Tidus, Wakka, Auron, Seymore and Kimahri. I think this batch is my favorite so far.

And then there’s me and, because he asked, Greg.

thanx to the greatly appreciated generosity of greg-chan,
i’ve been able to enjoy some anime i have greatly been looking
forward to/wanting to see, but due to being on the import wagon,
was afraid i wouldn’t see for a very looooooong time.

that being said. k-chan now owns a vcr, thusly now needing a
new a/v rack since it’s taking up my second dvd player spot, and
reminiscing about the days when vhs fansubs ruled my vcr, along
with liscenced stuff too. but i’m talking about when a 4th, 5th, sometimes
6th generation fansub was the only way i would get to see a certain
anime title. but i didn’t care, quality aside, if it was the only way i
could get my anime at the time. currently, just buying the r2 releases
have taken that spot, though most don’t have subs some do. those are
on hold right now so i got to have something to fill the void in the meantime 🙂

upgradeitis is an a/vphile condition, much like anime addiction. combine the two,
and it can be deadly. of course, i’m both 😛

watching my vhs digisubs of Robin, AzuDaioh, Spiral, Haibane Renmai
takes me back to those nostalgic days. it also reminds me of how spoiled
some otaku are these days, like my roommate (a relative newbie), who gets to revel
in my aodvd collection, and hadn’t seen or heard of fansubs till i giddily received
my goody package from greg-chan {{glomples}}, got a vcr, stuck the tape
in, and reveled in anime g00dness. ahh…. love my anime ^___^ of course, i
was stuck with questions about the subtitles and such, which i fielded and
then tried to explain the history of fansubs which have been pretty much
replaced by digisubs. they aren’t bad unless you use them as a substitute to
buying the real liscenced thing when they come out. for me, fansubs are an
inbetween to sate my thirst until i can get the liscenced dvd, whether it be r1,
r2, or both.

i don’t know if that all sounds like rambles. i just know i loooooved the anime,
and it gave me that nostalgic feeling too. Robin, btw, rocks as much as i knew
it would. Haibane Renmai is Beautiful – i must have more. Reki is my fav ^^
Spiral is a fun treat, especially since mitsuishi-san is in it, and gotta have
more. AzuDaioh is ROTFLMAO!!!! crack – love it XD Sakaki-chan is all about
cute. she rocks :3

anime : drugs would be cheaper.
n33d m0r3! O_O

I completely didn’t realize that yesterday was Be a Leaf Monster Day. I really need to keep track of these things more.

I just woke up and I’m feeling oddly well. Like I got past the major part of this cold. I know they say that it takes a few weeks to fully kick it, but if I’m past the part that made me feel like I needed to just curl up on the couch and drink nyquil I’ll be quite happy. I had to blow off the club tonight because I still felt like crap (Pete, thanks for hanging in there, I hope everything worked out. I felt bad cause I know how tired you were. I owe you one.) Oh well, back to sleep.

I am so psyched for the next few months. I SO need to find a job soon so I can get the DVDs I want. One of them being Noir. ADV just put up a promo page for it, complete with a pretty cool trailer/teaser. It’s in both mov and wmv for your viewing pleasure.

This was one of the first shows I was watching when I started downloading digisubs and one of my favorites. It had an interesting story, felt kind of like some of my favorite action movies (think La Femme Nikita with a bit of John Woo). And the soundtrack is still one of my favorites. Whenever it makes it out to my car it doesn’t leave for at least a week.
