A bit too warm.

It's been hotter than this before, but the humidity made it hard to sleep. I hate humidity o_o.

If it can be any more inappropriate, I'm making an afghan with some yarn I bought a couple months ago. I know it's hardly the weather for that kind of thing, but it's nice methodical work and I can pretty much put my brain into neutral while I'm crocheting it. I have to say that I like crocheting a lot more than knitting, but I like the things you can knit more ^__^....

I love this doll.

HobbyLink Japan has a preorder for her. She's apparently a re-release of the Love Blitz Lycee, the only difference being that her outfit has blue plaid trim instead of red. She's too cute! Seeing her have a second release makes me feel better about the impossibility of getting any of those gorgeous 1/6 character dolls Volks released at the Dolls Party. I don't know what series they were supposed to be from, but I really liked that tanned doll with the white hair and cat ears. =_= Those dolls are so rare, you can't even find them on Yahoo!Japan. Damn you, Volks, for making your commercial dolls so inaccessible!

I don't know what the heck I'm supposed to be doing in Golden Sun 2. I'm at the Mars Lighthouse, but I can't find a way past these fire breathing monkey statues.

Speaking of which, I was playing TOD 2 a few nights ago, and the stupidest thing happened. I was making my way through that time-limit dungeon in Harold's time period, and all of a sudden we had a blackout! I was terrified that my data had been erased, but thank God I had the whole unit plugged into a power strip! Then, I tried to go through the dungeon again and I ran out of time. -_-;; I'm quitting for now. I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out, but the dialogue is starting to get treacherous. Blah blah blah, find the keys within 10 minutes, you can't leave with any of them because they're sensitive to temperature and will go poof. I guess we'd better hurry up and find them! Other than that, I can't understand anything. I have to wonder if within the difficult Japanese Harold says where I'm supposed to USE the keys. Sometimes the only character I can understand is Reala. Harold and Judas are the worst!

I used this Frizz-Ease stuff in my hair when I washed it last night, and it made it look horrible. I can't deal with it any more! The problem is, my hair stylist tells me not to blow dry it because it's too fine, but if I air-dry it it dries into weird spiral curls that flop out after a while but if I try to comb them out it gets all frizzy. -_-;;.....I guess that if I wanted to go "natural" I'd have to keep the curls, but I HATE not being able to comb my hair.

Oh well...my boring life. You think that after fighting to learn all the new things I would have learned how to style my damn hair! ^o^

I apologize if you already found the answer to this, but the cat-girl (Roise) is from Volks's new series, Der Ring des Niebelungen.

The general gist appears to be that there are nine legendary Valkyries who are either immortal or reincarnated endlessly (the blurb on the front page seems to be a little murky on that).

Each of the girls bears a jewel or element that is the soul of one of the Valkyries; she also has a weapon that belongs to the Valkyrie and has special powers.

It looks like these girls were available at the Dolpa after events as well. I get the impression that this is going to be like their Lost Angel series, hopefully complete with novels and booklets.
