I was looking through funny kitty pictures with Mobious and I ran across this one that reminded me of myself because of where I work.

When Frosty was visiting last time she took some pictures of me in my new Tigger PJs! (Yes Tigger, not Tiger, there's a difference!) Unfortunately we had some camera malfunctions, so some are blurry but that's OK! The pictures turned out nicely anyway, just don't mind any extra 'fuzz' I might have hehe.

I did a surprise visit to my parents' house over Memorial day, also as a late Mother's Day present. While I was visiting I picked up one of the puppies they had! So now I have a little buddy to play with, so far she's been really good. No noise on the way home, wasn't scared of the car ride, but she's a bit clingy. I tried to block her in downstairs overnight so she didn't make little messes on the carpet but she just whined endlessly until I took her upstairs with me. Even then she whined wanting in bed with me, so she ended up sleeping up against me the whole night. But she's so super cute! I just have to figure out how to get her to stop whining when she's left alone for a bit. LOL she just chewed up my door stop, silly puppy. Anyway, here's a picture I had to take fast of her, she likes to hide under my bed.

PS: I forgot to mention she's named after Ayumi Mamiya from MagiKano

Good news and bad news. The good is that I got that promotion I was talking about, and I'm in training this week for it! Yaaay me!

Bad news, my computer suffered a bad crash (or 5) because of Service Pack 3 for XP. I tried to avoid formatting the HD and just installed XP again with no changes to the drive but that didn't really work well, the problems still existed and caused a few more. Somehow on the last install viruses/spyware got onto the PC and started to drive me nuts!! So I said to heck with it, formatted the drive and installed XP again (this makes install 5) and so far everything is perfect. It's faster and cleaner, but it will take me a while to get all my programs installed again. But don't worry, my PC is fine and so is my data. Still working on those pictures that were eaten in the accidental format from before though. X.x

It's been a while since I first put up the fan cooling system for kigurumi masks. My roommate Nami helped out by soldering the wires and such for me and accidentally lit her hair on fire while doing it! But she's OK, don't worry.

You might not notice a difference in the pictures from how they used to be, but there's been a good bit of changes. We cleaned up the wiring, fixed the mounting system to make it more securely fastened yet easy to remove, and made everything a lot more streamlined. The switch is also more steady and less prone to a case of the wiggles while trying to turn it on/off. Other than that the basics are still the same. The cost is no different than it was before, so it's a better deal now that it's improved!

So if you're interested in seeing the new fan system, click on the store link above or this picture below:

Sorry it's about a week late, but I finally finished the new calendar. I'm not sure if anyone actually uses them though. ^^;; So if you really do use them somehow, just let me know. If no one really uses them, next year I probably won't continue making it. But anyway, downtime during work is good for getting a calendar done, teehee! So I got paid to do an update ;3 I realized today as I was trying to figure out what colors to make the months, that I should just follow the colors for birthstones! So I think that's what I'll do from now on. So yes, I reused the color green to start this cycle, but this makes it easier for me to choose the colors. =3

Good news is I downloaded a free game from Steam that's pretty fun. It's called TrackMania Nations Forever, and the free version has a lot in it already. You can buy it for some extra cars, tracks, etc... but I found the free stuff to be just fine. It even lets you paint your car! You only have the one style to choose from, but I had a little fun with it as you can see below, a larger version is available if you click it.

Basically I ran out of fun games to play so I got that racing game and also got Counter Strike: Source, Half Life 2: Death Match, and Day of Defeat Source on Steam. So if anyone wants to play some games let me know!

On to the bad news... I was playing with Ubuntu some more, wanted to delete the old version and install the new one to try and get some of the bugs worked out with running my PC hardware and I did something stupid. I accidentally formatted my PICTURES drive! ;_; This may not mean much to you at first, but if you think about it... what's this site mostly made up of? Pictures! ^^;; Yep, my kigurumi directories were on there along with ALL my anime and other photos.

Not to worry though, thankfully I found a program that recovers data from that kind of thing and I got a lot of my photos back. I had a 120Gb hard drive almost full of pics so it'll take me a while to realize what's lost if anything. So that next planned update I had might not be as soon as I hoped since I have all that to deal with now. The pics look saved, just all scattered around for the most part. Some things are sorted still while others are not. I also think it saved some files that I had actually deleted on purpose so I have junk to sort through as well. *sigh...*

Hehe I just had to be silly in that title. I've been sitting here at work today and it's been so slow I cleaned up my bikini photos since the weather's warm and it's time to post them! Vectorman got the bikini for me, so thank you VM! =^-^= Sorry it took a while to post the pics... but I hope everyone enjoys them. There aren't too many because there's only so much you can do indoors wearing a bikini hehe.

It's kinda fun to have this new job, I work from home and I can do things like this while being paid! ^-^ I've been drawing, cleaning photos, updating my site, everything while on the phone. Gotta love it! ^-^ Maybe I can get a beach chair and head outside sometime soon to get some better bikini shots... who knows! For now, enjoy these indoor shots =3

I've been using some time while at work to doodle while I'm on calls. Because of this I've drawn two more pictures. ^-^

Click here to view my art gallery

I got bored today and for some reason started to draw like crazy, and I haven't drawn in a long time. But anyway, if you'd like to see my results I started a new gallery just for my own doodles. This time around I just used the Magna Doodle that I bought recently and had some fun with it. It's a lot more responsive than I thought it would be, but it's still only a Magna Doodle and can do so much.

These are of myself:

These were for Kenshin:

This one was for Mobius:

This one was for Ork:

And one for Yuki:

To visit them all visit the "My Art" Gallery!

Odd name for a gallery I know, but it's named for the hoodie I'm wearing. =3 You'll see what I mean when you view the gallery. This is one of those photoshoots I did when I did FOUR of them in the same day hehe. I shot a few ahead of time in case I got busy, which I did. So I'm still able to update, yay!

I was in Target today looking for a birthday present for my niece and I first seen a little magna doodle with tiger stripes on it! I picked it up and tossed it in the basket, and when I did that I seen one that was laying down on the shelf that was huuuuge! It was only $10 and the little one was 6, so I grabbed the big one hehe! Here's what I picked up, and yes I had to get orange (hehe):

I decided to look through my old webcams I recorded and work on getting them online. This one's only part one of two for Mecha's birthday webcam I'll work on getting part two up later. I had soooo many errors trying to get this video onto the net... encoding errors, saving errors, uploading errors... I stayed up 3 hours pass my bed time trying to get it done, and finally got it. So hopefully you'll enjoy it even though it's short, it cost me more than 3 hours trying to figure out what was wrong. ^^;;

The first day of Spring has officially passed, even though where I live it's not much warmer. But to kick this off, I made Miharu some sunglasses! They're already up for sale in my store so if you are hitting the beach this year in kig, sunglasses are a must! Or if you just want some shades to look cool~ If you want to see larger versions of these photos, head to my store!

I was looking FOREVER for this costume in my old apartment but could never find it. I really wanted to take new pics with my new suit, and this went on for months. Now after I've moved and started to unpack everything, guess what! I found the costume! ^-^ So naturally I put it on and took some pictures~ I got a pair of new shorts for it too, and this is the first time I actually cut a tail hole into anything since these shorts wouldn't go up onto my hips with out it hehe. So the suit and shorts are different than my first Sarah gallery. =3
