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:

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:
