Stay calm… stay calm…

Okay, so first: The Guy from the last post and I have worked things out, so that level of stress is now nonexistent.  Thank God.
Second: I’ve created several new accounts!  You can find me on YouTube as LadyTemeraire, though I haven’t uploaded anything and probably won’t for a while!    I’ve also joined the [...]

Dragons in our Midst

You’re not going to believe this, but a teacher was reading about dragons to little kids in the library today.  I am not making this up.  I was working on a CSP project and was pretty much done when I started overhearing what she was saying.
“Dragons are hard to find.  There were no dragons at [...]

Sundreams and Myths

Okay, so while at Ohayo*con, I saw two cosplayers (one on Saturday, one on Sunday) that were dressed up as the same character.  I don’t remember the character name or the show (it wasn’t one I recognized), but I do remember this: both of them had a white fire-lizard that was part of their costume.
For [...]

My UFO box runneth over

Okay, did you notice the happy little widget on the sidebar?  The one with weird acronyms in the title?  Yes.  That is my UFO/WIP box.  In layman’s terms, unfinished objects and work(s) in progress.  Now you see why it’s taking me so long.  As for commissions….
Morgan: So, so sorry that I haven’t gotten your picture [...]

Review: Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series

Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series by littlekuriboh  (complete, finally)
Notes: Mild spoilers ahead.  No like, no read.  Also, I’m going to use the English dub names because, well, they’re shorter.  And I don’t feel like writing out “Jounouchi” all the time.  “Ryou” refers to the nice guy, while “Bakura” refers to the guy in the Ring.  However, [...]

Abridged and Dangerous

Okay, hands up, people.  How many of you have watched Yu-Gi-Oh: the Abridged Series on YouTube?  C’mon, there’s gotta be at least one of you.  Seriously?  NATE, GET YOUR HAND UP!!!
This is a series created and championed by littlekuriboh, which condenses multiple episodes of the original series into four-minute parodies.  Hilarious four-minute parodies.  Like, omigod-I’m-crying-I’m-laughing-so-hard [...]

Review: Death Note vol. 1&2

Death Note volumes 1 and 2 by Tsugumi Ohba and Takushi Obata
Warning: Mild spoilers ahead.  No like, no read.
You know, at one point after watching Gene Shaft at a Boy Scout/Venturing lock-in, I really thought manga and anime writers couldn’t go any further.  I thought they’d pushed the limit with all the eugenics and 9:1 [...]

Review: The Twelve Kingdoms by Fuyumi Ono

The Twelve Kingdoms by Fuyumi Ono
Warning: Possible spoilers ahead.  No like, no read.
I’m sure we’ve all asked ourselves, what would I do if I were suddenly transported to another world?  What if I had no time to say goodbye?  And what if I couldn’t get back?
All these thoughts become reality for Yoko Nakajima, an ordinary [...]

Blast from the past. Like, fourth grade.

Does anyone here remember taking listening tests?  Back in fourth or fifth grade, especially on your proficiency tests?  (This question is mostly geared towards Americans, as I am pretty sure most other countries have advanced beyond pointless things like this.)
 I actually had to take one yesterday in speech, my morning j-term class taught by my [...]

Just so you know…

Anne McCaffrey’s site is also powered by wordpress.  And – surprise! – she’s actually updated recently.  (Last time I checked, she hadn’t updated since 2005.)
 At any rate – what I’m really excited about is the fact that her book series is slated to begin filming by Copperheart!  Yes, you did read that correctly.  No dates [...]
