feeling: throat is ouch
listening to: Mitsunaga Ryouta - Itsuka Kimi ga... (translation: Someday You Will...)
One day last week I put every single song on my hard drive (except some live versions and stuff, and some that Calla has sent me) into one playlist of 1222 songs and hit play. I'm getting songs I forgot I had. This is fun. Of course, it also means my computer's been running without restart ever since then and will continue to run until 1) it dies or 2) I finish the playlist, so it's plagued with the worst case of lag I've ever seen. But I will endure. I actually have a chance at finishing this playlist since I got rid of all the spyware and adware and got Mozilla and stuff. So much memory saved. *float*
We seem to have some deer, one young buck and one doe at least, that have made a habit of venturing into our "backyard." Meaning the clear space between the back porch and the treeline at the top of the small slope that rises behind it. These are the least agitate-able deer I've ever seen. The doe came out the other day when the nephew was here, and of course as he's 2 years old, it wasn't enough for him to watch quietly from inside - he had to open the door and walk out to the edge of the porch, close as he could get to the deer. He talked to her and everything. And that deer just looked at him and calmly returned to munching acorns. Then today three other deer emerged from the woods into the field in the abandoned property we own across the road... they used to frequent that field, but it had been ages since we'd seen any there. I tried to take pictures of the three we saw today, but it was too far, and then a car freaked them out and they bolted. So I snapped one of the trees behind our house in their autumn colors instead. Hoping the woods across the road will color up before going brown, because they make an amazing view when they do. And I still have a few pictures left on my roll. *wants to finish it*
Also watched the movie Lost in Translation today. Pretty cool how it was made like a native Japanese movie. More so than most movies by Western directors, anyway. And that Japanese photographer who asked for Rogah Moore poses was adorable. Hee.
Going to the first meeting of Dumplin's anime club tomorrow... and thinking of using the town outing to run to JoAnn Fabrics and see if they have the pattern I need for my main Kaede shirt. Yes, I'm actually making cosplay progress... sort of. *gasp* The patterns for my main skirt and shirt are decided, the components of my vampire costume are... kinda decided, and the main Kaede wig, Kaede cologne, Kaede "toy" (hee), BLOOD armband (of course), and the spiky Gackt bracelet for my Takeshi costume are bought and ready to go. Well, the bracelet hasn't arrived yet, but... soon. Found it for $13 on a buy-it-now only Ebay lot, and spent ages trying to find the differences between it and the $40+ original on Jpophouse.com, but found none, so grab it I did. Anyway... cosplays are finally coming together! *dance* Only one I haven't really worked on is the alternate Kaede, but that one should be fairly easy...
It did finally dawn on me that I might have had better luck looking for that main Kaede skirt of doom among wedding/bridal patterns, but when I actually tried it, I found nothing. >.> Oh well, we have that pattern anyway. Just dunno why I didn't think of that earlier.
My Kaede birthday fanart is... coming along actually. Still gonna be lucky to finish it on time, but eh, it can be a couple days late. I've had all these BLOOD fanart ideas floating around ever since I joined the fandom, but never could motivate myself to actually do any of them... or to finish the ones I start, as it were. Birthdays just kinda give me an excuse to work on them as well as a 'deadline' to shoot for. I decided that just after doing Fu-ki's in August. >.> I would be working on Kaede now - all that's left of the outline is one rose, and after that I can move to coloring - but it's late. And when I realized my eyes were kinda blurring in and out and in and out, I decided no more art for the night. So to Blogger I came. With more pointless rambling with no purpose other than to kill time. Don't you love it?
I'm also getting another cold. >_< No fair! It hasn't been 2 months yet since the last one! *would scream at things but throat hurts*
Time for bed now, before this thing moves from increasingly sore throat to fever and sinuses stuffed up to China.
(edit: umm, ok... the post below is from yesterday, but it didn't show up until I posted this one... >_>;;)
