   a little off time wise, but everything still applies, heh.

Currently listening to: Tank! from Cowboy Bebop Currently reading: World Book Rush-Presbyterian - St. Lukes Medical Center Medical Encyclopedia (it's the best read in the house right now x.x) Currently playing: Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life (Woo hoo!) Current mood: busy and tired ---- Alright, first off, I'd like to say... I finally got another wallpaper up! Woo hoo! ^.^ Call me lazy, but I had something started up, and didn't finish it up until just yesterday, when I submitted it here. If you haven't already seen, it's of X's Yuzuriha Nekoi again (I don't know why, but I enjoy using her pictures and making... happy wallpapers? *that's definately not me personality wise* Er... *coughs*) Though yes, I do hope you enjoy it though. ^.^ *nods* Ahhh.. finally, it's the week after the Boonville Fair, and everything is almost back to normal. Last week was a bit hectic with the Fair in town, mostly due to the fact that I was chosen to help judge the childern's artwork from the local school systems. And one would think it wouldn't take to long to do a small corner in the exhibit hall, but nooo.... it took me five days to get it all finished. Mostly because I had to wait for one of the fair directors, a friend of my mother's, who was also judging the artwork with me. Thing was, she also had to keep a check on all the other buildings on the fair grounds, so she was gone all day, and was only able to show up for two hours each night. Worked out fine for me though, I guess. I got to watch the light weight and heavy weight horse pulls, like I always do, so I'm happy about that. :) And another note on happenings at the fair. I entered two pieces of artwork, Erwin Library and Institute click here to view , and Disturbed Sleep click here to view. Erwin Library and Institute didn't get any awards, but Disturbed Sleep placed first in it's division. :w00t: So I got the blue rosette, and a check for the maximum $20 premium. It made me so happy to see that blue on there, and on the last day of the fair, when I went to pick up my work, the winner of the black and white photography division was there as well, and she kept telling me over and over about how much her and her mother loved the drawing. I was so suprised about it too! I'm glad that people were enjoying it though. :) That's my main reason for entering artwork into the fair, is so that people can enjoy the artwork. (though the money is a nice added bonus after paying $3 per entry, which everyone is limited to two enteries in the art show.) And guess where all that money went to! *holds up the case for Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life for Gamecube* ^.^ It's finally out! Yay! And not only that, but there are actually some differences between A Wonderful Life and Anotehr Wonderful Life! :boogie: Heh... but there are a few minor glitches, mostly to do with the fields, and how your character moves (I think Natsume skimped on the programming there...) But yes... and the dog... you can do more with it other than just feed it and pick it up. I was like, "WOO HOO!" when I found that out, and scared my mother, who was reading in the chair next to me. Oh yes, and a quick note for all Pocky fans... Check you local Walmart in the Internation food aisle... Under oriental... You may be lucky and find Pocky in stock there... Official Pocky! Just a couple days ago, my mom and I were shopping, and my mom went looking for rice, so I followed her into the oriental food section, and behold! I thought my eyes were tricking me when I saw the wonderous sight! Pocky! For 87 cents a box! I immediately turned to my mother and asked if we could get a couple boxes of each flavor (chocolate and strawberry), and she happily said yes, since she likes it as well. ^.^ Though, when I went to check my other Walmart in the area (there's two within at least 15 to 20 miles x.x ), I found they only had one flavor of it, Strawberry. So, I'm not sure if it's a local thing that's going on here, but I urge you, go to your local Wally World (Walmart), and see if they have the magic food there! Besides... 87 cents is a steal compared to the amount of buying cases online, and paying shipping and handling costs... (of course, I never had to do that... My brother's girlfriend in Japan is always sending over Pocky and other treats for us to try. ^.^ I really like Moochi too, it's good, hee hee.) Ah yes, and there is more news! I would like everyone to meet Sasha, my newest kitty click here to see This pretty girl used to belong to my aunt until just the other day, due to a change in Sasha's personality. I guess, the story goes, earlier this year, we kitty-sitted for Sasha while my aunt and uncle went down to Arizona for a couple months. And since we have Sasha's sister, Mocha, we figured, why not? Everything went great, and in two months, we ended up having to give Sasha back (we kept trying to devise ways to hide her in the house, but that didn't work.) Well, it's been probably three or four months since then, and when my mother and I went up to my aunts house again two days ago, my aunt said that she was glad we came up. Turns out, Sasha never settled back into her old home. She refused to stay inside, and would claw the screens out of the windows in order to get outside. She doesn't sleep with the childern anymore, like she used to. And sadly, she's lost a whole bunch of weight... I mean, seriously, we can feel her ribs and backbone, she's so skinny. It's not my aunts fault either, she always keeps out a large bowl of food for her cats to eat out of. (currently, we're thinking she has either tape worms or round worms.) But my aunt asked us to take her home with us so she can live with us instead, believing that Sasha likes it better over here and that we spoiled her during that kitty-sitting time (which we did do... *whistles innocently*) Thankfully, she is acting much happier now, and ever after just being here a day or two, she's really settled into the house again. (She still hisses at the other cats if they get to close still ^.^; Alexander is getting smacked up like crazy because of his straightforward nature, lol. But he deserves it, after pushing around all the other girls.) Ever since we let her out of her carrier, the first thing she did was head right down to my room, where she continued to jump up onto my bed, which made me feel really special. Now my room is something of a home base for her until she's totally settled in, complete with food, water and a litter box (which Xander keeps using... Dern cat.) She's even gotten to the point where she doesn't sleep on the floor, or under my bed, but rather right next to me, like she did three or four months ago. Heh, I think I'm her human now... :) All she does is follow me around the house now, and she even has her own toy which we bought her today while we got her worm medicine (the toy is already full of holes, which she bit into it, lol.) And with more good news, she is getting a little bit of a belly, even after being here only one day. We ended up buying her some kitten food (which she doesn't eat, but the other cats love, go figure...), and some canned food. She absolutely loves the canned food (what cat doesn't?), so we're going to be feeding her small portions throughout the day now. Though, we have to hide out in the bathroom because of all the other cats, especially Xander. You should have heard him when we opened up that can, and then started to take the bowl of food to Sasha, he was just singing away! And of course, Dutches had to join in too (like that pudgo needs it.... >.> ) But, we made it to the bathroom without any cats, other than Sasha, and she just scarfed that food right down. Heh, she's such a cute kitty... *looks over at Sasha, who's now sleeping on the computer desk next to her, and smiles* Such a sweety... I feel kinda bad taking her from my aunt and her kids... But I guess it was the best thing for her, and she seems to be much much happier here. Well, it's time to sign off...
