Good even-ing.....=_=

Boy, am I thirsty! I repainted Shion Number 2 (flat-chested version) and wound myself up so much that I had to work out in order to relieve the stress. Now, I'm thirsty. Damm! *_*

Funny....now that I've been doing a 2:1 thinner to paint ratio, my work has become a lot easier. Liquitex paint is pretty thick, and I guess you have to thin it down quite a bit with matte medium (or some other medium) in order to get a smooth finish...^_^;;.....

Methinks....one of Shion's eyes is bigger than the other. I'm beyond caring, though. That's a common enough mistake in eye-painting, and I'm sure I've seen worse. I will not, will NOT take off her face! +_+ Heh....I'll post her to my page later.

To Kristen--stop humming Copacabana when I'm trying to type! O_o

Update on the Volks Beckey/Maaya/Faye situation. I'm not getting any of those dolls because of Fuuka, but.....Beckey doesn't look that great. The two shades of blue in her eyes aren't enough of a contrast, and she looks kind of cheap to me. Maaya is still cute. So is Faye. It's funny how the one I was mooning over turned out to be the one I liked the least!

::Slluuuuurps mandarin orange green tea::
::Uh....I have digital cable, and for some reason, for the past couple of days, all of the music channels have been playing the WORST MUSIC OF ALL TIME! How many times do I have to flip freaking Justin Timberlake?! He sucks! I don't even know what kind of music I like, but I can't stand the stuff they're playing on the Music Choice channels.

At the same time, I have all these weird 80's songs stuck in my head that I could start singing at any time. Two of them are by Tears for Fears, and I don't even know the lyrics ^^;;......

ZZZzzzzzzzz......

I feel like I should write in here, but I'm not sure what to say *^___^*.

Ah....today was....dull. I took some photos of repainted Shion 2, but only one of them was passable. I wonder why she was so hard to photograph? Must be that shiny, wispy hair of hers. I'll prolly announce her to the clubs in a few days. Don't want to rush it, you know? ^_^ I really need to get myself sewing! It's hard, because I can't ever seem to find the notions I want, and because no one in my family sews I have to learn from square one. At this stage in the game, though (I've been making custom dolls for 2 years), I can't go on not knowing how to sew for my dolls. I do know how to sew, for the most part, but I'm not that comfortable making clothes for 1/6 scale dolls. I know I just need to train myself to sew more often, but.....::sighs:: It makes the back hurt, non? ^_6

There's another thing I need to get back in the habit of doing. I've been out of school for two years, and I really need to start teaching myself Japanese. I took Japanese for 1 year in high school and 2 years in college. I covered most of the major grammatical points, but I fall short in kanji and vocab. ^___^;;......My reading speed sucks, too. When I was in school, my highest point was spoken dialogue, which is kind of weird, considering how shy I can be. For some reason, oral reports in Japanese never made me nervous, but when I had to do them for English class I nearly broke out in hives!

Well...Kristen's going to help me get back on my feet. I just have to swallow my pride and not be afraid of making a fool out of myself in front of my sister. After all, she may be better at Japanese, but I can beat her at arm-wrestling ^o^!

::clangs on head:: Skull's empty.....

For Christmas, I want to get some of those brandy-filled German chocolates. You know, the ones shaped like liquor bottles? I remember reading about them in Thomas Mann's "The Blood of the Walsung." It was a story about a brother and sister who were nasty and decadent and kept making out O_o.....gotta love that decadent German literature! Oh, and there was another story about a failing, middle-aged writer who fell in love with a 14 year-old boy..."Death in Venice." ^___^ I took Decadent Literature as an blow-off course junior year, and it turned out to be creepy and fascinating. But....we had to watch Nazi propaganda films O_o.....! O_o.....

We ate marzipan....

Sometimes, I think all my professors hated me ^_^;;.....

Did I mention that I bought a new wig for Fuuka? It's a light blonde flip wig from Tallina's. It's pretty cute!
