How many times can I say "I'm a bit tired", before it gets old?

I am quite beat even though it is my day off. I don't know, probably the tiredness just catches up with me on my days off, when you actually have time to think about it and do something about it... Oh well, I'm going on a holiday after this week! Time to rest! Boooyah!

I saw this thing for making a bit of a family picture of your dolly family (well just any picture with characters really), at I'm Catching Fireflies, and I decided to make a little picture relating to my dolly family/plans. :3

The site to do this at is here, but some options- really NOT work-safe.

Sooo. The picture. From left to right we have; Dorian, Eili, Mr. Manly (still don't know what his name would be), The Hot Twins (names? nooo idea again!), Little Twins (still deciding on names), Xian, and Pan.

I'm not sure how much I've said about the different realities/dimensions that my different dolly families are in- right now, there's 3-5 of them, with different rules to how things work and what is possible. I haven't quite decided if some are actually within the same reality and just unaware each other or whether they are in a completely different dimensions. 

The boys would fall into the "Bread and Games" reality, but I am not quite sure if the Hot Twins are part of that reality, or if they are completely separate and have their own story lines. Though putting them into the same reality with Dorian would be quite fun, as he has a major thing for twins. Dorian and Mr. Manly are brothers by marriage, and Eili is pretty much stuck between Mr. Manly and Karu (not pictured as there was no more characters to use) in a bit of a love triangle... It's a shame how bloody young Eili looks here- he should look a bit older to be honest.

Xian dwells in the "Together Forever" reality (which may actually be the same reality as Pan's - not quite decided on that), where you have angels, demons, and magical beings. Also humans are present, but unaware of the otherworldly creatures and happenings. The pretty Angelo would be part of this reality- I just not have found a nice sculpt for her.

With the Little Twins I have no idea what is going on- what the stories relating to them are and what sort of world they live in. I just wanted the girls, and decided to get them this year. :3 I think they may be in a dimension where there is nothing but them... Because I have this vague idea of the girls being young versions of these twins that are in a coma and inside their own head/alternate reality. I HAVE NO CLUE. We'll see what happens later on.

Then we have the "Godspeed" where  gods, mythical creatures, demons, and humans live. Think of Olympus, the gods, and mythical creatures relating to it; that's what is going on in here. Pan obviously resides here, as s/he is Pan- the God of Nature.

But all said and done, most of these could possibly be folded into one reality, where the different characters just aren't aware of each other- but I'm not sure which I like more, different realities, or everything in the same one.

I got a little delivery couple of days ago from Alice's Collection~ I got the light blue eyes- I don't know if they will be better than the default grey ones I got with the dolls. They seem like they have a higher dome than the grey ones- not quite sure if that's a good thing... :/ Then I got their outfits as well! Cute! The fit is good, the only thing I don't like about them is the snap fasteners- they're plastic and right underneath the little pearly 'buttons', so they are quite hard to close and open easily. I keep thinking I will break them. :S But all in all very happy with them, though I do prefer how they look when worn backwards! I hope to take pictures some time this week!

It's getting late, and I really do need to sleep as my work week is starting tomorrow (working 'till next Saturday- wooo), so good night, day, afternoon- whatever! :D

Lyon~

So we did a little holiday to Lyon so that I could go to Ldoll at the same time! The drive there was a nightmare as we had barely any sleep the night before and we left at stupid o'clock in the morning for a drive that ended up being about 12 hours long... That was not that pleasant at all. But we made it to Lyon in one piece!

I ended up doing only Saturday at Ldoll as I figured that I should spend some time with my boyfriend as we were holidaying together... It was lovely- I saw some really pretty dolls, bought some things for my new girls, and unfortunately had no camera to take pictures with! I'm thinking that next year I will try to arrange a holiday round the next Ldoll as well. I did fall in love with a doll that I really do not need- it was Sseiren's Ideal lover girl- I don't think she is actually on their website yet- there does seems to be a photo that looks like her on the blog here. The problem I have with her is that she is the wrong size! She's MSD which is putting me a bit off as it is not a size Ireally want. :/ She was gorgeous though! And god was she limber! The body was absolutely amazing movement wise and it also looked beautiful! :3

As I said, I had no camera with me at Ldoll as my boyfriend was doing his stuff while I was at Ldoll, so he had the camera to do touristy things with... But I did get to play with the camera later on! xD

This was the cafe right next to the Cathedral- this just cracked us up!

We quickly popped into the movie museum 'lobby' and they had these miniature sets in the walls- this set was amazing! The whole set was filled with books!

And this was a teeny weeny hospital set- and you can see something a bit different in the reflection...

I gotta say, these guys were a bit random- poking out from the side of the river on a bit rusty pedestal. Bit odd. But they are lovely- I love the hands on these guys! 

I really loved Lyon and the area we stayed in- we weren't in the centre, so the area wasn't that touristy and the restaurant there were great! We did walk around a lot, but we had time and walking is the best way to see a city! Can't wait to go again!

I am getting impatient to get my little girls- now I have some stuff for them and I am feeling like ordering more things that they 'need'... :3 The waiting is horrible! I think I need to turn to shopping to pass the time.

EDIT: Oh jesus, all the cheese we bought just STINKS HORRIBLY!

I really wans't the plan...

Sooo. I did end up pressing that button and now I have Ami and Ani coming home to me! At some point. :D Soooo excited! I dunno quite yet who I will be getting to do their face-ups, but I still have time! It is quite annoying though to have them be twins- meaning that I will have to buy two of absolutely EVERYTHING for them. And if I buy something that isn't right for them, I will end up with a collection of clothes etc. xD But that ain't much of a hardship, so I shouldn't complain!

I think I will be going to L-Doll this year, as I need to take holiday and we can go there by car. I've already managed to sell the idea to my boy, so he's up for going there, I just need to book some time off and book a hotel + ferry and off we go. I was thinking to leave on Friday so that we would arrive there on Friday evening and then we would have the whole weekend there, plus I think two more days after the weekend for more touristy things, because my boy won't be that interested in L-Doll, so that part of the trip won't be interesting for him. As we are taking the car, we were thinking that we should try and see if there were any other people from our area that are going there, as we are able to drive a couple of more people there with us. But we'll see what happens with that.

Oh good lord the adventure I had last night! I ended up taking care of one of my co-workers as he had drank waaay too much and we ended up getting off on the wrong tube station, so we had to take two buses and then a taxi for him. And this whole time, I had to keep him upright and lift him up whenever he decided he needed to sit down... I feel sore today!!! I am so not used to lugging around a guy my size. But, who is? O.o He better be getting me a minion for all the trouble I went through for him. xD

Anyway, I need to start getting ready for work, as I do have to go and be a waitress/bartender tonight. Not sure which I will actually be tonight. xD Oh well, toodles to all!

Pizza's our middle name!

I found out about Samurai Pizza Cats yesterday. WTF? That is just so random. Not that anime isn't a bit random normally, but whaat? Cyborg Samurai Pizza Cats- that definitely makes it to my random list.

I mentioned in my previous post that I am now working about 50-60 hours a week...  I figure that I owe myself something nice for working so hard. So I was thinking to buy a proper camera. But then I was looking at BJD carrier bags today and came across a Dollzone one that seems quite roomy and okay looking (this thing here), and that got me looking at DZ Ami and Ani again. And I started looking into them, and it would come to £240 to buy them blank and with double joints. Then for the extra Ami head it would be £35. And thus my order for DZ (with the carrier) would come to £302. And I would be able to get their event head with that order. But I have no use for it, so I would end up selling it, but I have no idea which one I should get... Meh. But still, £302 for Ami & Ani, plus an extra Ami head and a carrier bag... That isn't that much. And I really want Ami and Ani. Uuuuuurgh!

My boyfriend just left for Poland and he's gonna be away for about a week. Me sad now. Because most likely I will have some problems sleeping because of that. Ugh. BUT there is good sides to this as well. Like setting up my laptop to the projector and using two screens at the same time. One of which spans over half of our wall. Oh yeah baby!!!

I don't know what to do about the camera/doll situation. So torn right now. :'C

Uh Whut?

Hi! I'm back again! I will probably disappear again at some point, because that seems to be what I do...

Things have been completely dead on the dolly and crafting front in my life for the past months- I have done NOTHING relating to those two. It makes me sad, but hopefully soon I will be back to doing something, now that I am working in my 9-5 job full-time. I am still doing evening shifts a few times a week in my waitressing job, so I only have about 4 evenings off in a week. But I will have nice paychecks because of all the work, so I can't really complain too much. As I chose to work two jobs, you know...

I do have some plans, as I have become completely obsessed with Fantine's bonnet in Teddie Films' 'Dream and Shout'... I really want one for myself, but I'm thinking that first I should make one for Pan, so that I can figure out the best way to do it- the loss of fabric will be so much less for her bonnet than for mine, when I end up screwing something up.

This is 'Dream and Shout'.

↓

I am completely obsessed with Paint's 'After Ever After'- I keep listening to it almost every day when I have the time. I have even sung Pocahontas's part to myself every now and then... I try to sing it under my breath, because other people may get slightly worried if I start singing about entrails... Mmm. Yummy.

And this here is 'After Ever After'.

Can I say how much I hate traveling on the tube with obnoxious football fans? I hate traveling with them even more than traveling with a group of really drunk women. (I know this may sound weird, with me being a woman myself, but there is nothing amusing with a group of women screaming, and laughing like a herd of horses. It gets on my nerves quite badly.) And now that I have to travel to work through Wembley, I have to travel with football fans way too often. Not what I would classify as good time...

But on a more pleasant note, I went to a friend's barbeque this weekend, and we made cocktails and had way too much food. The steaks were bigger than my face, the bowl of seafood could have satisfied about 20 people, and then there was all the other extras like burgers, lamb hearts, and a few salads. All in all, a fair amount of food for a dozen people. And then the booze- it was a cocktail party just as much a barbeque, so there was quite a bit of alcohol. All of which was necessary. Obviously. But at least we had planned who was bringing what, so we didn't end up with five bottles of Malibu but no vodka, you know? And I got to make some cocktails for other people! In an environment that wasn't work. :D (Not that I don't like making drinks at work, I just hate having to rush making them every now and then when it is very busy- not the best environment to make The Most Awesome Cocktails.)

I made my macaroni and beetroot salads for the barbeque and they seemed to go down okay- my boyfriend at least really liked the macaroni salad, and the scandi-people seemed to like my beetroot salad (the salad was trying to be similar to the one we get in Finland and Sweden, possibly also in Norway, though I am not sure about that). I really need to find the perfect beetroots for that salad though, because the two different ones I have tried so far have not been quite right. Unless I want to start boiling them myself, but I think that will just end in disaster, so I would rather avoid that... xD

Talking of beetroots, my boyfriend decided to make me some beetroot risotto, as I have never tried it. It was surprisingly good I have to say. A bit sweeter than I expected, but that was probably because the beetroots used were quite sweet. But still very good. Definitely want to have that in the future as well. And I swear, my life does not revolve around beetroots. It just happens to have been a very beetrooty week.

I think this post may have gone on a bit long, and it is quite late now, so goodnight, or good morning peeps!

Bye bye beautiful.

We are hopefully getting a flat!!! Amaaaazing! If everything checks out, we will be getting a studio in Uxbridge! Yay! It's gonna be a lot smaller than we are used to, but it will make up for it by us being able to save a lot more money this way. Because hopefully by next year (if we are still together and everything has gone according to plan) we may have enough money for a deposit and we can get a mortgage to buy a house/flat! The reason we are interested in getting one, is because it will end up being cheaper to pay mortgage than paying rent... AND you can do stuff to your own home! Meeeep! I hate renting as you can't fix or change anything, and it seems like a lot of the times you'd need to fix things in order to have the place up to the standards I'm used to...

I am actually feeling better today than in a little while now. Pretty much only due to the fact that we are most likely going to get a place and because our rodent problem is most likely over. I do have to say, I feel a bit drained though as the last few days with our rodent problem was pretty tense, as it was trying to chew its way through the door to get to the living room... And the shit. It was everywhere on the floor. So not funny. But it's done with  now. If you want to read what happened yesterday, read ahead...

The following talks about a rodent dying/it being dead, so if you are uncomfortable with that, better not read this. And also be warned that I think the writing may be even worse quality than normal as I don't really feel like reading over what I've written, so it may jump from one thing to another...

Yesterday the little rat died. It had been wrecking havoc in our kitchen for about a week now, and yesterday it went into one of the traps (twice, funny enough) that the pest control people left. Gotta say, that was a horrible way to go. We had been getting really desperate in getting rid of the little thing, and I had suggested before (and last night) that if we had a bucket, we could make a water trap for the rat as it was not going into the 'conventional' traps. Unfortunately we were unable to make the trap as we don't own a bucket. And that actually makes me really sad, as I feel (maybe wrongly) that drowning might have been a slightly more humane way for the little thing to go.

What now happened instead, was that it had set off one of the traps and gotten hurt- don't know how or how badly, but what you could see, was some splattered blood on the kitchen floor. Then later on in the afternoon, (after I was unsuccessful in getting it to run outside into the garden) it got trapped in one of the traps. I found out about this because our housemate asked if I knew that the rat was 'gone' (or something- his English is so horrible at times) and then I went downstairs to have a look before leaving for a viewing in London. Unfortunately the rat was still breathing at that time- little rasping and gurgling breaths with its little chest moving in and out, trying to get air... I don't know how long it had been like that, but I think it must have taken at least 10 to 15 minutes for it to die. At least. That is a horrible way to go because it's quite likely its lungs and airways were filling with blood, as the little thing's breathing was sounding pretty wet... And to imagine how much pain it was in! I have no idea what part of its head had gotten caught, because when the trap had gone off, it had somersaulted so that it was upside down and you could not see the rat's head. Which I am glad for as I would not have been able to even look in its direction. I couldn't end its agony, because... I just couldn't. I actually can't even kill bugs properly, so killing a rat? Not a chance. So after I came back to the kitchen a few minutes later, the little one had stopped breathing. By this time I was already running late, so I left the rat in the kitchen as the pest control man was supposed to call me/come over later in the day (he'd been in in the morning and had jumped in the air like a little wuss after seeing the rat).

When I got home in the evening, obviously the man had not been over as the rat was still on our kitchen floor... Which meant that it had to be taken out. I could've left the job for my boy, but I decided that I can do it for him. I have to say, I really did not enjoy it and I never want to have to do that again. As I had no idea how 'diseasy' the rat was, I had to use a stick (ex-housemate's halloween cane?) to get it out of the house. The first time I touched the rat WITH the stick, I felt a bit sick and got shivers going through me. I just felt so bad. I couldn't lift the rat up as that would've most likely spun it around and I would've seen its little face all smushed, squished, and bloodied, and I couldn't have handled that. (I could barely look at my friend's hamster that had an accident and its eye was bulging out of the socket.) So I ended up pushing and prodding the little one across the kitchen floor and out of the door. And I kept talking to it, saying I was really sorry for having to drag it on the floor... I felt so bad about having to do that, as it was not a dignified way of taking it outside, but it was the best I could do with what I had. The horrible thing was, the little thing was by this time stiff as a board, as it had gone into full rigor and its little tail was a tiny backwards J...

But I have to say, it was a beautiful little rat. Such a nice sandy brown coat with a gorgeous white belly. I really hope things could've been different and it wouldn't have needed to go to little ratty heaven. Only if it would've been born as a fancy rat, I would've loved it, cherished it, and provided it a nice big home. But alas, it was a rodent, and it invaded our home- most likely by accident, but still. Adios little pretty! I hope you're reborn as a pretty fancy rat as you were beautiful!

I have a cough.

(I seriously apologise for writing blaaaah posts recently, but annoying things have been happening way too much lately and I feel the need to vent. There is couple pics of Xian though somewhere in this post!)

As title says, I have a cough, which makes trying to stay invisible very hard. I've been up since 6.30am in our living room, in order to see if the rodent will run out of the house if I leave the backdoor open. It hasn't happened yet, though I have only waited for 1½ hours. But I think I may be making too much noise with my cough (or it's sleeping after it's adventures last night), but I can't just leave the door open and go, because then I wouldn't have a clue whether or not it has gone out. But I do have to say, the rodent is getting extremely desperate. It's getting bolder and bolder, because I think it's starting to get really hungry. Last night it had tried to drag the cloth we keep outside the kitchen door, on the living room side, into the kitchen. And it had somehow managed to make stuff from on top of the fridge fall onto the floor- and this isn't one of those tiny little fridges, it is a proper fridge-freezer so it stands taller than me! Though that doesn't take too much. But it is almost the same height as my boyfriend.

I've mentioned that there is mold in our house right? It seems to be a horribly normal thing to have mold in the houses in England for some reason. This is the second place where I have rented and where mold just appears any time there is even a tiny bit of moisture in the air. I'm starting to get quite worried about my health as mold is massively bad for you- it can cause so many problems, and as I'm already someone who has allergies, I don't want any more problems like asthma for example... I'm really hoping that I am just a bit sick or imagining things, because recently I have started feeling dizzy when I sit down upstairs to do stuff on my desk. One of the worst places (in terms of mold) is our bedroom, as there is constantly some on the ceiling (there used to be a leak in our bedroom, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was massive amounts of mold between our ceiling and the roof). And you know that if you can SEE the mold, you've already got a biiiiig problem with it.

For some reason, I'm unable to do some changes to my blog layout- I spent some time yesterday choosing what I wanna do with it, but then I was unable to edit things in the layout section. Quite annoyed about that. So the blog will look like this until the damn thing starts working.

Picture time! I failed to upload the pics to my blog in a timely fashion, but better late than never! I had a go at taking pictures of Xian on my desk during the evening to see if I could use my desk lamp as a light source. It turned out a bit... so-so. I've only got three pictures because I wasn't very happy with most of the pictures. And as you'll notice, these ones have been edited quite a bit as I wasn't a big fan of them.

Xian has two wigs at the moment- her present day hair (red) and the hair from olden days (white). I really want to make the white one more presentable as it is a pain atm, because the weave is LIGHT BROWN instead of white, so you can see it way too much. Isn't she pretty in white though?

Damn. I dunno what I'll be having for breakfast. Cold pizza? I can't heat the pizza as we don't have a microwave and the oven is rodent-central. Pfffff... We've resorted to eating takeaways only for dinner (and lunch, and now possibly for bfast) since we realised where the rodent likes to hide. Please pest control people, come frigging save us!!! I want a home cooked meal!!! Done in a different oven though. Ugh. That shizz needs to go away. I'm off to feed myself now.

Depressing post ahead.

So unfortunately this post is gonna be all rubbish and depressing. But I'll try to get nice things out in the beginning and then move on to the rubbish...

Yesterday we had a staff Christmas party! It was soooo nice! There was a free bar, and lovely free food involved! And a guest speaker, which was slightly odd, but it was great anyway! The thing was, we were supposed to have an after-party in Soho, but the bar we had booked it for, was PACKED. You could barely move in any direction, which was ridiculous. So we decided to go somewhere else. And after some confusion and shenanigans, we decided to make our way to Heaven. And only one of us knew where it was. Hmmmm. And we got separated, which meant that the ones that got left behind, we went into the pub that was right next to us, obviously to drown our sorrows. Worked out great!

I'm pretty happy with my flapper headdress- sooo many people actually liked it! I really wasn't sure how it was, because I can't be objective with things I've made for some reason. But everyone thought it looked okay and I got so many compliments on what I was wearing! Flapperiness achieved! I might take a photo of the headdress at some point to show how it looks. :3

I took pictures of Xian today! I'll post some pics probably tomorrow as I don't quite feel like doing stuff to the pictures today. But hopefully tomorrow!


Rubbish things ahead now~

Too many things have been going wrong lately. Our toilet seat is a tad bit broken, we almost got flooded, there is mold all over the house at all times, and our latest thing to go wrong- we believe there is a rodent in our kitchen. Possibly because of the flooding. Or second possibility is that we only discovered it now, because our housemate moved out and he isn't leaving food scraps on the floor anymore and the rodent got desperate. Dunno. But it is there. Because yesterday I made something in the grill bit of our oven, and I forgot to throw away the baking paper I used on the baking tray- today I noticed that the baking paper has gone INSIDE the insidy bits of the oven, and I gotta say, that can't happen by accident, it requires work for it to get there. And when I took the paper out, it was full of holes and bite marks. Which means the the rodent is in our OVEN. :O DO NOT WANT. I don't know what to do now. There was the pest control people here earlier in the week and they set up two rodent traps, so today I just opened the grill door and put one of the traps on the door in the hopes that the rodent will come out and take the bait. I'm so tired of bad things happening- like when we called about a flat that we wanted to take, I gave all our info, and the agent said that he needed to call the landlord to confirm if we can take the place. When he called back, he said that the landlady didn't think we made enough money to pay the rent! WTF??? Either of us can pay the rent on our own! So we haven't got a place yet. And we should already be signing contracts right about now. Ugh. Sometimes I hate life.

Here's a flower to make up for me being all blaaah and whiny:

I took it during summer, and gotta say that might be one of the most heavily edited images I've done. Maybe. :F

Jazz me up.

I'm in the process of making a nice byzantine weave necklace in dolly size. Weee! I got my stainless steel rings from Beadsisters yesterday, so I was able to start doing stuff! But that meant that I put aside my choker experiments. Which was a good thing as I don't have any pink thread to do the next choker... I hardly ever have the need for pink thread, so I have none. Blargh. Need to go into town on Tuesday I think, as I should be off then, and the little sewing shop should be open. 

Pan says hi, with the first experimental choker (that you can't really see fully):

And this is the one that has been put away for the time being:

And what I am working on at the moment: 

You can see the short strands of byzantine, which will be the chain, but between the strands there will be the larger rings with the red glass beads inside the ring. I hope it looks as good as I think it will! xD

I didn't want to just make this a non piccy post, that's why the random in-progress pictures- I didn't manage to take presentable pictures of Pan with the finished choker, so that has to be for some other time.

RANT TIME.
Gooood looord how incompetent do you have to be to leave the front door open to the house that you are showing around, if your main duties in your job involve opening doors, showing people around houses and CLOSING DOORS?!?!?! AAAARGH! So, yeah, uh. We had a viewing for the house we are living in a couple of days ago, and this woman from our agency came to show this random family the house, right? Well, she came, she showed, and she DID NOT CLOSE THE FRONT DOOR! WTF!??!!? If me and my house mate wouldn't have been home, we could have been robbed blind! Seriously! How incompetent do you really need to be to not close ONE frikkin door!? But at least the next day when I called them to shout at their incompetence, they FINALLY, after about three months, called the landlord and got him to come in the next day, to have a look at the washing machine. WOW. All it took was them to fuck up and then we get the landlord to come over? Great. I hate agencies. Complete shite. I wish we could afford our own home. All we need is to win the lottery for that to happen... Sigh.

Damn. I'm annoyed again. I think I'll put some NCIS on and continue with my necklace. Aloha!

Back? Again?

Long time no see bloggy.

I've been working waaaaay too much in the past months- last three months I have been working 6-7 days a week, with 7 being the norm. Doesn't really leave much room for anything especially if you have to commute for about 4 hours a day... But oh well. My choice- need to money as we will be moving to London at the end of the year. Or to the vicinity. Depends what sorta place we find and at what price. We have quite a bit of stuff so we can't just take the tiniest, cheapest box that we can find. Need some bloody space maaan!

I managed to make a BJD necklace a day ago- I'll most likely be putting it up for sale as it isn't quite Pan's style.

It's made with silver plated and gold plated rings if I remember correctly- I ordered them quite a while ago, so I'm not 100% sure about that. And here it is on Pan:

Can't quite see the gold in that picture can you? :/ Pan is also wearing the experimental wig that I made a little while back and that still needs a trim. I'm not that pleased with it as you can see the weave a bit too much, but it's okay for some pictures every now and then.

I ordered more jewellery stuff, so I will be making more jewellery and learning different sorts of stuff! I spent part of my evening today getting rid of this wire that I have by practicing how to make wire bead chains, wire cages, etc. Obviously it turns out that practice is a great idea, as I have not done this shit before. I think I might need to get a better set of pliers though, if I am to make lots of jewellery, as I already have a blister on my finger from making the necklace and some other bits and bobs. Uuups.

My citrus plants are looking quite okay! (Can't remember if I have mentioned them before, but I started growing lemon and orange from seeds that I got from store bought fruit. I think all of the seeds sprung up which was a shock...) The three biggest ones are about 10-15cm, and the smallest is only about 2cm, which is a bit funny, as the smallest one sprung up maybe a week or two after the first ones. And all of them have been growing for... 4-5 months now? Weird. But they are looking quite nice, but I have no idea which ones are lemon, and which ones are orange. Not that it really matters, as I am growing them more for the fun of it, and to have something to look at.

Anyboo, time to go! Nighty-night, good morning, or wonderful day to all!

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!

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!

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

Boring life update.

Mmm. My hair is somewhat better now thanks to Nice 'N' Easy. Not a 60-year-old-woman-hair anymore. I have this HUUUGE urge to do a thing where I pick a garment and wear it in several different styles. Preferably one style for evey day in the week. Dunno why. Maybe to just see if I can do seven different styles with one garment as a center piece. :P

It's been a boring few days. I went to work yesterday (game testing)- it's very interesting to see game tester find ingenious ways to be lazy with move-controllers. xD Hilarious to watch!

Now to random tech related news;
I haven't mentioned it before, but I've been working on me and my boy's laptops. CANNIBALIZING! So I've been taking parts from my laptop and putting them to my boy's. He was helping in the beginning, but for the most part I've done all the work. I've swapped the memory, hard drive, and screen, as my memory is bigger, my hard drive is better, and my screen isn't broken. (I broke the screen in the first place...) And the reason why I can't use mine is because it's suffered from liquid damage, thanks to my housemate or one of his friends. But now monster/zombie -laptop is almost functional- minus one problem, overheating I presume. I think it's due to not having sufficient thermal grese/compound, and again that's my fault as I took the laptop apart almost completely so that I could also clean everything. Now I just need to pout in moar grease! And hopefully that will solve the problem. Funny thing about operating system though- we've had to install XP, as none of the other operating systems would work- probably due to us not being able to wipe everything when installing them, whereas XP gives that option. I'm quite proud of what I've achieved so far, as I have no knowledge of repairing any sort of electronics. x3 And I have to say it has been a blast, even though I've been pulling my hairs at times.

Aaaanyway. I hope to have some dolly-related stuff later this week, especially now that I'm going for a meet on saturday. :3
