I so rarely post to this journal anymore, but I thought I'd give anyone who still watches it a little look at the sewing project I've been working on on and off for the past couple months.  It's a plushie of Princess Celestia form My Little Pony.  In case you didn't notice from my new icon, I rather like the new show.  Anyway there's a giant ( Read more... )

I am unreasonably excited about the new Disney movie coming out next month. I don't know, it's just awesome to see them going back to the 2D animation and fairy tales that I loved so much when I was little. It's making me want to just sit down and watch a bunch of Disney movies right now, but I don't have any other than Alice in Wonderland on DVD ( Read more... )

I recently rediscovered a game I played a lot when I was in probably third grade.  I am now horribly addicted to playing Mastermind on this site: http://www.irt.org/games/js/mind/index.htm?b=6&t=12&c=4 What's sad is I started playing it to be better able to do a ( Read more... )

Living in any large-ish city you are bound to see a lot of people around the down town areas with cardboard signs asking for money.  I saw one yesterday that would have actually made me give the person money if there weren't two police officers there talking to him.  At the very least it made me smile:

I've actually been doing an art project lately.  It feels great to actually be creative and not just play WoW all day.  I've made a blog over on blogspot to chronicle my progress.  I figured having all my paper art related things together instead of scattered throughout other journal entries would be good.  The blog is mostly for my own reference, ( Read more... )

Torrey and I were leaving the apartment tonight to go to dinner and grocery shopping.  I started up the stairs to the parking area when what should poke out from under the stairs but a little ferret nose.   Well, we couldn't just leave the poor thing there under the stairs so we took it inside, gave it some old blankets and some empty toilet paper ( Read more... )

I have braces now in preparation for oral surgery a year or a year and a half from now to fix my open bite.  My teeth hurt a lot and I feel like I look ridiculous even though I know, in theory, that they aren't that bad.  It makes me really mad that my dentist didn't tell to have this fixed when I was younger.

Torrey and I have tickets to go see Jonathan Coulton next weekend.

You can be jealous now.

(And if you don't know who he is you should so go look him up!)

The bus line that runs by my house keeps getting canceled because of the weather. I need to get to the airport tomorrow. This means I should probably take a cab. That's all well and good, if a bit annoying because of the cost, but the last two taxi companies I called are not answering their phones. How the heck am I supposed to get to the ( Read more... )
