About to snore.

I'm really, really tired at the moment, as I've been working 'hard' again. AKA just working, but having to take long commutes- but this time at stupid-o-clock in the morning, so I've been completely dead. 

This is probably gonna be a very short post, as I really needed to do, was to show off the movie I bumped into. :3 So if you haven't heard of it, or seen it, I'd recommend you give 'Life in a Day' a go. Very nice movie. But my judgement might be slightly impaired as my brains ceased functioning about four hours ago. I apologise for any weird sentence structures or misspelled words that might occur during this post. Anyhoo- the movie; very nice, relaxing, easy watch. Give it a go as it is an interesting watch into human life. If I don't make sense, or you want to know more, this is what they say in the description of the movie;

"On July 24th, 2010, thousands of people around the world uploaded videos of their day to YouTube to take part in Life in a Day, a historic cinematic experiment to create a documentary about a single day on earth.

Oscar winning director Kevin Macdonald whittled down over 4500 hours of footage into a 90-minute film that wowed audiences at the Sundance Berlin and SXSW Film Festivals earlier this year."

So, if you are interested to see what this thing is.... Ta-dah!


OR you might wanna go into it's official page~ Life in a Day
Give it a go and tell me what you think; was I sleep deprived and crazy, or did I actually stumble on gold? xD

Adios amigos, I'm off to bed!

Getting excited about games...

Been working a lot lately- there's a project going on at work, and unfortunately the client wants the game done asap, but there is so much to check that the deadline that we've got is absolutely ridiculous. I've felt a bit stressed, as I've been the only one testing in my language for a while, so I've had to speed through the thing, which is not nice, as that means that things are more likely to get missed. Oh well. It's their call if they wanna rush it... *Sigh* Luckily I did have some help for the last few days, so a lot more has been checked now, but it's still not perfect yet. I wish I'll have someone with me tomorrow so that we can get everything done. Fingers crossed!

I've come to a decision on Skyrim. I'll wait a week or two, and then buy it- mainly because I probably won't have a chance to go to a shop and buy it before that... But on other game-related news; my boy got his Assassin's Creed Revelations, and I really wanna pick that up, but I still haven't finished Brotherhood, so I can't pick it up just yet! Must play more! Also, my housemate suggested the idea that what if we took a week off for Final Fantasy XIII-2, just like we took for FFXII... So tempted~
I do have to say, I dislike the Christmas period, because there's too many games coming out. Luckily I'm not that into first person shooters so I had no interest in MW3. But, I will have to buy Uncharted 3, Drake's Deception at some point, because the single player mode is very interesting. It's got a lot of things going for it- it's not just an FPS, so I'm intrigued by it. I'm not so fond of the multiplayer, as that is mainly just shooting other ppl, unless you play the adventure modes (was that what you called them?). But I think I'll wait for this one, as I'm not so excited about it as about some of the other games out now. But I will have to get it though.

The other day I was listening to music while I was sewing, and a song from the musical episode from Buffy the Vampire Slayer came on, and I was forced to put on the episode. That in turn made me put on my corset. (Tara was wearing a really pretty corset in that episode.) I have to say, unfortunately I don't wear my corset enough. Therefore, I bid thee farewell, as I go and put my pretty on!

Why do I want you so?!?!?!

(From Adsense forum help, dunno who this belongs to)

That is how I kinda feel like.
Have have this horrific urge to get Skyrim. I don't know why but I am overtly excited about the release and I want it! But the thing is, I think my desire to get it NOW is only due to the fact that it just came out, whereas it would probably be better for me to wait a couple of weeks before buying it (kinda make sure that by the time I get it, if there has been any frustrating bugs on release, they would've been fixed already), but my brains don't want to listen to my reasoning! *Cry* I am torn! And it's driving me insane!

I'm off for the wekend which (hopefully) means that I will do some dolly clothes! :3 I'm hoping to take my little corset pattern and make something nice with that. We'll see!

I've noticed on Devart another fantastic Jessica Rabbit picture. :3 I adore it when people draw her, but I really don't know why... This is my latest Mrs. Rabbit find:

Jessica Rabbit by sakimichan

It's worth checking out her other dravings as well, as she is very talented. :3

I'm off to do some crafts now! Wish me luck!

I be happy!

I love meeting dolly people! It's so nice to get to talk about dolly stuff face-to-face with people who are into the hobby! We had another Oxford dolly meet on Saturday, and it was so much fun~ I even asked the guys if they would mind helping me with this photo idea I've got- as I'd need several SD Soom dolls for that. :3 They didn't mind, so once we do a meet with lotsa Soom dollies and I've got my red ribbon, I can make my idea come true!!! *Squee* [Side note; my winamp is playing Buffy Musical- Walk Through The Fire. Awesomeness!!!] I'm just not quite sure how I'll shoot it- the dollies are huge and I'm tiny. I might need something to stand on... xD

My boy bought two new desks for our bedroom! The idea was to get me a desk so that I can sew and do stuff out of the living room (which I completely take over if I wanna do anything), but we ended up choosing a corner desk for the computer and a matching desk for my adventures. It looks AWESOME. And the even better thing? I don't have to crane my neck to look at the screen anymore! And I don't have to sit on the bed in order to use the computer! My body sends it's thank you's to the gods of comfort! (Or whatever.)

I need to translate my chocolate mousse cake recipe into english so that I can share the goodness~ The cake is absolutely delicious, but making it is a slight hassle. Not because it's hard to make, but because there is so much dishes to wash! You need to make three different chocolate layers for it, so there's a lot to do. But it tastes better than any chocolate mousse cake you'll get in a cafe or a restaurant. (Maybe the Michelin star restaurant might top this one, but any 'normal' restaurant; doesn't have a chance! x3) But what measurements should I use? Ounces, or would desilitres be fine? O.o (Why can't UK and USA just go metric? It would make things a lot easier.)

Funny thing. I made Pan a full length dress the other day, and I measured the strap to death, to make sure it's the right length. I also tried it on to make sure it's right and it was perfect. Well. Next day when I get up and put the dress on... The strap is too long!!! What the- I swear it's Pan. She decided it's not revealing enough and she did something to it. Now I have to fix it somehow so that she won't be flashing her boobs every time I move her. Bloody exhibitionist.

I've also now made an important decision regarding my dolly family- the random floating Nanuri head WILL become the 'sexy twins'. (That's what Dorian would dub them as...) It's not going to happen for a long long time, but it will happen. So I will have to hunt for a Nanuri 08 head at some point in the future. (I dread that day... xD) But yay! I think I'll make them to be mirror twins. :3 I'll give them birthmarks around their torso and maybe feet, so they'll be on the opposite sides. That's also gonna help me recognize which is which. xD

Just to not make this a text only post, here be some shots of Pan in her new dress:

Harry Potter and sewing.



I've been listening to Harry Potter audiobooks for the last two days- I don't have them in book form, and it's awesome to listen to them while you're sewing or doing stuff. At the moment I'm listening to Chamber of Secrets, chapter 11. :3 I can't wait for Pottermore to open for everyone~ I absolutely adore the Potterverse, and Pottermore is one of the best ideas ever! x3 I'd so want to marry Rowling's brains...

I wanna play something, but I don't know what... Not feeling like Assassin's Creed even though I should get some hours on that. In a way I feel like playing Sims... But I haven't got it installed atm. Or maybe the old Ceasar III. Hmmmmmm. I would want to make a fur hat though, but I don't want to make a mess in the living room with fur bits just now.

I really want to get good at sewing dolly clothes cos I would want to, at some point, start selling them. :3 I would need to buy a new sewing machine before that though. Mine is a really cheap one that has some serious issues... I also need to make some more patterns~

 I've been sewing quite a bit in the last two days, but unfortunately the pictures I took turned out a bit blurry. And I forgot to take a picture of the muff I made. :C

For some reason, I kinda like her pose. xD
So shirt and skirt #2


I had to take a picture of this pose...

I do really like this waist 'corset'.
And the fabric makes you want to pet it constantly. xD

Top and skirt #1

Another life update, but this time, with TRANSFORMERS!!!

I can't believe my housemate had never heard of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! I knew about it, but today at work, while we had nothing to do in the morning, I spent almost 2 hours reading stuff on Wikipedia (one of the only sites that we can access there). The Church of Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) also known as Pastafarianism, was one of the topics I spent my free time on. (That's why I also decided to read a bit on intelligent design. Why ppl, WHY?) Also I got introduced to the Invisible Pink Unicorn. I love people with brains at times. I really should read more 'intelligent' stuff - these days I don't read anything really serious anymore. Most of my reads consist of crime books or humor these days. Need some food for thought!!! 'Cos otherwise I will just be a dumb fakeblond who's not blond at the moment.
~
Bit random, but have to show you; One of the best Transformer Costumes ever!
Every now and then I have to look this up, because it's absolutely awesome! :3



Tech-update! So the monster-laptop. I added some thermal grease from my old laptop to it as we didn't have any, and surprisingly the overheating went to normal levels- aka back to what it was before we started doing stuff to this thing. BUT, today while I was at work, my boy discovered that our housemate had some thermal grease! So while I was away, he cleaned the old one off, and put on some new stuff on, and lookie what happened! The laptop has been on from 6pm and it's still going! Before it would have needed a breather every few hours probably. I really can't believe how much of a difference it made! I didn't know new grease would make this much of a difference!

"Fashion" ahoy!

So as I said, I wanted to try and do 7 different outfits with one garment for some reason, and I did end up doing it! xD Yay! I did have quite a bit of fun, and to be honest, most of these combinations I would definitely wear as they are my style. Please do excuse the cheesy posing- I was having way too much fun with that! I dubbed it in my head as the "7 day challenge", for no particular reason, other than the fact that I did 7 outfits!

7 Day Challenge

Plain and Simple

Is it getting cold?

Black & Red

Casual

Time to Work
(Pay no mind to the shoes- the ones I was supposed to wear had been in the closet too long and had a spider's web inside them, so I Could Not wear them....)

Is it supposed to be a Rock-Chick?!

NOOOOOOOOO!!!
NOT THE FASION POLICE!!!!

So really. Please don't call them.

Meeet!

Sooooo! Had a great meet with some dolly people from DOA today! I took waaaay too many pictures! So this post is just gonna be a huge pic-spam. On with the show!

Pan gets straight to business while Akudem's Seraph (Soom Sard) gets baffled by her boldness.

Surprisingly enough it doesn't take too much effort to get his attention...

Will he take the bait?!

Meanwhile, in a galaxy far, far, away across the table:
Llrael's Carisma (Luts Lolly) is... walking on a tightrope?!

"What a nice- *tie*, you've got there... *Waggles eyebrows*"

"......"  
"I think I prefer it when she keeps her mouth shut"

Again, in the meantime, something is about to transpire...
Carisma and HarleyQuinnBJD's Shilo (DIM Eileen) seem to be plotting something...

And what makes me think so? 
THEY LOOK WAY TOO INNOCENT.

Whoa! Now what's going on in here?!

It seems that Mr To-Be-Sephiroth/Judge doesn't mind Pan's company that much...


"O M G..."

 Pan: "I'll just surreptitiously put my hand on her thigh..."
Star Valo's Cuprit (Soom Cuprit): "What the..?!"
Seraph: "SCORE!!!"

 Cuprit: "What am I supposed to do?!?!"

Pan: "Damn. I think she spotted me."

 Dunno. Maybe Cuprit thought that gods can't see you if you're lying down...

Pan: "Hot Damn!"
Seraph: "Hello? I'm still here!"

It might have just dawned on Cuprit that this was a BAD idea.
 kik7
Meanwhile, proving that I was correct:
Carisma: "MIB"

"Put up your arms and all your flippers."

Back at EEK-central:
Pan: "Well hellou there!"
Cuprit: "EEK."

Seraph: "I can't believe this is happening. Two hot chicks, and neither of them is drooling over me!"

"....."
*Fell asleep*

HarleyQuinnBJD's Harper (Leekeworld Mihael): "Dude, there's something going on over there!"
Phoenix-Faeries's Raven (Bobobie Song): "Laa-di-daaa-daa~ Hmmmm-mmm-mm~"

Harper: "DUDE! I can't see!"
Raven: "He's way too loud. I'm outta here!"

Raven: "Oh man. This was NOT the plan."

"To do, or not to do?"

Seraph: "What the..?! She's onto the next one?!?!"
"That's just Fine. FINE. FINE!"

Pose!
You're on America's UK's America's Next Top Model!

Pan: "You're leaning on a sugar bowl dude."
Harper: "....."

Harper: "♥♥♥ Well that's because you make my muscles go weak. ♥♥♥"
Pan: "Seducing men is easier than taking candy from a baby!"

"....."

*"Surreptitiously" moves hand*
Pan: "What is taking you so long!?!? It's a BOOB, not a bomb!"

Meanwhile,
 Seraph has decided that Cuprit might need some help with the shock of being fondled by Pan.

THE END

So the rest of these are more like plain portraits and randomness.

A major wig malfunction occured...


No. Someone didn't go crazy with the scissors and murder Pan's hair, nor did she start losing her hair!
(I just changed her wig to a brown fur one...)


 This little dolly is Star Valo's friend's Hujoo Baby Suve.
(In my mind she has been dubbed Baldie. x3)


 There is something really weird going on in this photo! ;0.o



Do you spot anything strange in the picture?

What about now?


*Drool* 
I hate the fact that Pan can look sooo good in so many different wigs. Makes me want to buy her more wigs (that she DOESN't need).



Meet Mr Cover-Of-EVERY-Romance-Novel-Known-To-Man!

Grey looks way too good on her! ;;>.<




Here be Sephiroth!
 Unfortunately my camera died before we discovered his second identity- Mr Judge!

I do like this photo quite a bit, even though it is a little bit too blurry, as the camera decided to focus on Pan's curls and necklace instead of her or Harper's face! 

And now these two pictures are my favourites:



That's all folks!
Next time I'll show you what I did about my 7 ways to wear one garment! x3 I had fuuun~

 Bonus pic! Someone wanted camera time!
