Ok, I was piddling around on the internet at work (Yes, bad me) when it hit me.

CRAFT FOAM!

So I did a search and found a craft foam tutorial on how to make Lord of the Rings armor. Heck, if it works for LoTR, it'll work perfectly on Edward's Automail arm.

I love the internet. >3

And Tsu-Chan made my wig and sent me piccies. It's beauitful! ^____^ It looks just like Ed's hair without looking too cartoony. I can't wait to try it on. The braid looks a bit long but that I can shorten on my own. And the part I like best about the wig is she managed to get that little piece of hair that sticks up on his head. >D

My Edward Elrich costume is slowly falling into place.

I ordered his state alchemist pocketwatch on EBay the other day. One of my good on-line friends is making me the Edward wig for cheaper then I could get it custom made by one of those companies. My great-grandmother has agreed to help me make the two remaining pieces I need custom made.

Already have the boots and the pants. I can get the black tank-top at Wal-mart when they put out their summer stuff. And as mentioned above, my grandmother is making the red coat and the black shirt with the white trim.

But that arm! ><; Agh!! *bleepity* Any suggestions for Ed's arm?

And I also bought more doujinshi. X_x Someone stop me before I go broke. Bought 4 FMA ones, and one each of YnM, Gundam Seed and Saiyuki. Saw a really nice Zechs x Treize GW one there, but it was way out of my price range.

Also... where the heck are all the D.N.Angel Doujinshi? It seems like none exist anywhere, not even on EBay. O_o

Also, if you have free time, check out www.StupidVideos.com - it's exactly what it says. >D

On LE I have two bids so far on my stallion FMA - 1 mill and 1.5 mill. I usually have reasonable stud fees, but a stally like him doesn't come along very often, and I need to make a profit sometime so I can continue to offer my other stallions at affordable stud fees.

I'm gonna try and do it again too. >3 With another stally, but I don't know what breed yet.

Well, I don't know how many people read my journal, but if you're reading this and are a fan of animals, please consider checking out this website and signing the petition to ban horse slaughter in the U.S.

Horses are my second passion right behind anime, and this is one thing a lot of people are trying to get banned.

I'm hungry.. as you've probably already noticed by now.

I finally got all the mood icons done. :3 Hope to make a FMA set too, but I need to find good screenshots for that. I made the icons match to the best of my ability, but I may continue to refine them.

And I'm bored too. ::yawns:: And tired.

::dances around:: And I got a jousting win today, yay! That brings my total LE jousting wins to.. 6! O_o I'm pathetic, I know.

And I'm nowhere near tired. O_o

And I upgraded my Live Journal! But only for two months. ^_^ To test it out and stuff first.

Whee! *runs around for no apparent reason*

So I made one of those random thingies.

I found this beauitful Muraki keychain 4 months ago, and place an order for it, only to finally hear back to hear that the item was discontinued. Bah! ><;;;

Anime Next has released their tentative schedule. Most looks good, but there's two things of note that could be trouble. The Opening Ceremonies are at the same time as the Official Yu-Gi-Oh Tournament, which is the main reason my friend is going to the convention.. And then earlier in the day, the Viz panel is at the same time as the Richard Cox, Monica Stori and Matt Miller autograph sessions. I hope that these items get changed around in the final schedule.

But looking at the schedule, it seems there's so much to do in so little time. O_o

Another attempt at positng regularly! Let's see how long this lasts. O_o

My parental units are currently out of town, so that means I can stay up as long as I want! Yay! And I have lotsa M&M's and I just drank some Pepsi, so I have lots of sugar and caffiene. ^____^

I spent about 5 hours yesterday making the new layout image for my LE arabian account. O_o And I got a great Warlander foal out of a great Friesian stallion (whose name escapes me at the moment) and my Andalusian mare Bleeding Moon.

Also today, my great-grandmother and I worked on the last part of my cosplay costume for my upcoming anime convention, the orange shoe spat things for Daisuke. Almost done, yay! ^__^

Here I am, listening to the Glengarry Bhoys. They're great, I've seen them in concert. >D I'm going to try to update this sucker more often.

93 days and counting until Anime Next! My Daisuke costume is now about 80% complete. Just have to finish the back of his jacket, the sleeves and the white collar and he's DONE!

Then I can work on Muraki. I'm getting his coat custom made by Setsuna's Speciality Anime shop. They made my Kiyko plushie. ^_^ I can't wait to see it, even if it is costing me $165.

My boss Bob is out of the office till Friday. A Bob Free Environment, yay! Now I can pull a Tsuzuki and slack off as much as I want to. ^_^

...Darn Neko lover...Come over for dinner tonight!


Yami no Matsuei: What way would Muraki murder you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Today was one of those bleh days. I got up. And it was bleh. I went to work, and it was bleh. Ludus Equines will be down for a few weeks, so that was bleh. I'm gonna have a lot of free time.

But free time is also good. I got 3 sections on my website done that have been sitting idle for 6 months.

I finally got my copy of .hack Vol. 3 LE today. Love .hack. But I want to know why I didn't get the Fake vol. 2 manga yet. It's out, people have it, but it's strangely on backorder at Right Stuf. I pre-ordered it months ago, don't you think they would have ordered enough copies of it?

But I guess it's ok it's a little late.. I'm still reading I.N.V.U. Vol 2 and I wouldn't be able to read Fake till I finished it anyway. Grrr...

What the heck was I thinking this morning? @.o

Well, didn't get as much accomplished today as I hoped I would. Ludus Equines has been down since yesterday afternoon. ::goes to check:: And it's still down. So I have nothing to do.

I'd work some more on Rhythm Equitation, but I'm too tired. I would upload more content to my site, but I'm too lazy.

Yesterday however I finished a nice new layout for my doujinshi site. It's so purrty! >D It also took a lot of work and almost six hours to accomplish.

Well, I did accomplish one thing today.. I uploaded two more images to my live journal. So now I have Gir, Benji and my original RPing character Kiyoko.

Speaking of anime, my friend showed me this really disturbing picture today of a COSplayer. It was of some fat guy dressed as.. um.. Faye from Cowboy Bebop.. and his hairy ass was showing! @.@! I lost my appetite.. for a short while anyway. But I showed it to my 93 year old great grandmother and I've never seen her laugh so hard in her life. >D Just make me glad all those freaky anime COSplayers hang out near California and not the East coast.

Oh, and work today sucked. We had new phone systems installed. And none of us know how the hell to use them. I had to call my mother and I picked up the phone on what I thought was an empty line, and I heard my co-worker Janet talking to a customer. Another co-worker of mine, Tanny, did the same thing.. but she left her intercom on and the entire office got to hear my boss Bob M. talking about fishing.

We also get voice mail.. but no one knows how to use it. What the hell do we need voice mail for? @.o We're a teeny tiny insurance agency, not some huge corporation! I'm at least glad we didn't have to get the headsets like Bob M. wanted us to.

And Megan and I had to water the flowers today. In the miserable heat.. I wanted SO badly to pour that damned water on my head, but I resisted. Megan kinda annoys me. I mean, she's a nice girl and everything.. but she's so... girly. She giggles at everything, and she's basically a stick, and wears "trendy" clothing and all that crap. She's probably the kinda girl who spends hours just crimping her hair and making sure her clothes look right. >< Why not just throw on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and spend those hours having fun instead of in front of a mirror?

And Ludus Equinus is still down. Waaai. ;_; When is it gonna work again..?

...Eatin a frosted strawberry poptart. And wondering. Are we all like the poptart? Little bits of fruit crammed inside a pastry.. unable to move, to breathe, our freedom restricted, while the sprinkles on top of the frosting dance with glee. Maybe we're all smashed tomatoes. All smashed. All tomatoe. All train. All railroad. All nightgown. Oh darn, I've missed my train. I've been watching too much Magic User's Club, and it's past my bedtime. If only I could fly. If only I could, If only I could, If only I could stop hopping. Wow, this is fun. Good night. Good, good night.

Whee, I was so busy yesterday I didn't update my journal. ^_^ I got a whole new layout up on my website. ::ish so proud:: Took me hours but it's finally done!

But updates might be rarer and rarer soon. Yes, I know I'll have an influx of new doujinshi to scan.. but it's also the last week of college finals for my friends, which means I'm going to have less rest and relaxation time just fiddling with my site.

And I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday. I wish weekends were longer. @.o I just found some Easter candy under my computer..

I got the Fake Vol. 1 Graphic Novel today. Looks really good though I haven't read it yet. I got a free Dragonball GT pin with the book. Yay. -.-;

I want a non-hentai .hack//SIGN doujinshi! ;____;

I didn't go to work today. I had really bad stomach cramps this morning that lasted for like, 4 hours and I lost just that much sleep. @.o They're gone now, but I wish I knew what caused them.

I slept till 12, then was promply dragged out to pick up my drivers permit application. I don't want to drive. Just being a passenger in a car sometimes scares the hell out of me. I work in an insurance agency, so I know how dangerous driving can be.. and I have a short attention span so I know I will be a horrible driver.

I haven't done anything on my site except for fix some broken HTML. Today was just one of those "blah" days. I do though want to create another section.. a mini-shrine devoted to Shigure from Fruits Basket. I don't think one exists. ^_^;

I wish I didn't have to go back to work tomorrow.. espically since I had told them "I couldn't make it today" instead of telling them about *why* I couldn't make it. But it's very hard to think and talk straight when you're having gut-wrenching stomach pains.

On a better note.. Toshi got my payment! (Boy that was fast) But now that my doujinshi collection is literally doubling... I might have a harder time hiding them from my parental units. Espically since my grandmother wants to clean out my room inch by inch. -.-; So I have to find someplace to temporarily hide them. In the basement perhaps. Any suggestions?

I might not be so tired if I hadn't stayed up till 2am yesterday. -.-;

I got to work today, and went and downloaded a Windows critical update pack that I was prompted to download. The only thing was.. it killed my computer. I rebooted, but all that came up was my wallpaper. No icons, no taskbar, nothing. Just my picture of Azeri and Churchill Downs. The computer guy came in to fix it. It took him a good 4 hours and he had to completely reinstall windows. So this is a warning for anyone out there who still has Windows 98 - Don't DL any Windows critical updates.

Joe asked if I wanted to do something on Friday night.. but I doubt it. I don't like doing much on weekday evenings except sit here at the comp and do random things. It's not that I don't want to hang out, but by the time I get home from work, I'm exhausted and grouchy and the last thing I want is company.

As for my website.. I spent 3 hours scanning tonight, and I got 4 out of 5 doujinshi I had scanned. The other will have to wait till tomorrow or whenever I scan again. I also added some new yaoi and shonen-ai pictures.

I also got my new anime pins to put on my purse today. ^_^ Now I have 9 instead of 4. And my .hack//SIGN Vol. 2 DVD with CD came today as well. I'm listening to the soundtrack now. The second volume soundtrack is nice, but nothing beats "Key of Twilight". It's one of my favorite songs ever.

I helped Jess set up her site on my domain today (Check out her site at http://animehunter.moonliteshadow.net !). I'm glad I can help her with her site until she can get a domain and server of her own. ^_^

Well.. thats all I can think of. Till tomorrow!

Ok, I'm mad. I wanted to go to this fair today, but I had no one to frikkin go with me! My sister had company, my friend Kathy is at school, and my friend Cherie was at work. I had e-mailed Joe like, 4 days ago and he never replied. He finally replied at 7:00 tonight saying he was free all day long, but the fair ended at 5:00. Life sucks. ><;

Well, all that free time today let me do some work on my site. I changed the pic of Kiyoko to one of Heero, and I added the first yaoi content. I also made mouse-over bars instead of links, joined some webrings, made this journal and an updating mailing list, and created my wanted doujinshi list.

And as for the Kentucky Derby yesterday.. Funny Cide's win was a total FLUKE! He just got damn lucky. >< He doesn't deserve it. He's not Triple Crown Material. Empire Maker deserved that win as did Bobbie Frankel, not some freaky new guy to the sport. I would have been happy if even Peace Rules or Ten Most Wanted won. Grrr... ><

Hopefully tomorrow I will get my next .hack//SIGN DVD. I missed an episode a few eps back and I want to see it. I also got the second volume of Fruits Basket yesterday, and I love it! Yuki is so sexy, and Shigure is so cuddly cute. ^___^

Well, thats it for today, sayonara!
