I am feeling bad today.
Don't worry, I am not going to make this into a rant post. I am tired and a bit stressed. Work has been busy. I knew the day was going to be bad when 10 minutes before I open the office this guy comes up to the door, knocks and say "Hey, why aren't you open yet? Your sign still says closed! You need to fix that." How about, we are closed and I will change the sign when I open! Ugh!
So, moving on now. I have been visiting my friend's myO sites and everyone needs to go see chie she had a really rough day and if everyone could go by and leave some words of support I would really appreciate it. Thank you much!
I think I am going to go read some Saiyuki and get some dinner. If I think of something witty to post I will be back later. Take care all!
Oh, and thank you all for the comments on my Panda buttons! Add them to your site, you know you want too! ~_^ |

Buttons, Buttons, Buttons...
Hi kids! I guess I am a creature of habit. I did what I have been doing the past few nights...got on the computer, made an avatar and some buttons. I will have to wait until tomorrow before I can post the new buttons since my computer puts in < br > tags in my HTML. My computer at work doesn't so I have to wait.
But wait there's more!
Since I can post images in this section I will post them here for the time being.
You can never have too many pandas! Feel free to put my button on your site. This way a panda can always keep an eye on you to make sure everything is ok! ~_^
Well, it has been a stressful day. I think I am going to go take a nice hot bubble bath and have a nightcap before bed. Night all! |

Wow, new look!
From the time I updated my intro til the time I got home from work the layout of the site changed! Looks nice! I had such a rough day today. I swear, I just want to crawl under a rock and never come back out again. Instead of taking a sick day can I take a sick life? I wonder if I can sell some internal organs to make a living. I only need one kidney. I wonder how many times your liver can grow a lobe back. Did you know that? If you take 1/2 of your liver out the remaining 1/2 will grow the missing 1/2 back? Neat-o huh. Oh, and you can't sell body parts on eBay, I checked. Bummer huh.
Oh I am just joking. I did have a hard day and I do wish I could quit my job, but I am not going to be selling body parts! Enough of this silliness...moving on.
I updated my intro, I added a couple a buttons to link to other myO sites. If you want me to add your button let me know and I wil add ya. You are all welcome to add my button to your sites too. If you need help doing that let me know. Heck, if you want me to make you a button I will! It is the least I can do to thank you for reading my ramblings! Just let me know what you want and I will do my best to make it look good! ^_^
I guess that is it for right now. I will be around the boards if you need me. It was a tough day, need a drink...... @_@
Oh, I forgot to mention...I am a Crack Head! No no not the drug, Crackers! I joined The Vampire Ed's Cracker Club! If you love crackers, come join! He has a great banner on OB, go check it out. ::passes out crackers:: Here, have some Ritz while you sit around checking out myO...'cause we all know "everthing is better when it sits on a Ritz".

If I don't get away from my computer I am going to kill someone!
I am done doing web stuff for awhile. I think I need to step away from the computer. I have been catching up on all my emails and reading through the message boards...which seems a bit quite. I even tried my hand at making some avatars for the avatar submission thread. I thought we were in need of some sugary sweet avatars. I used Sanrio images....cute. I think the overdose of cute has driven me mad!!! Perhaps I will watch some ultra violent anime now to counteract the Sanrio stuff.
I guess I am off for tonight. I will catch up with everyone later. Tomorrow my boss comes back to work and the appointment book is completely full. As is the rest of the week. Hopefully won't be completely dead tomorrow after work.
I am not looking forward to work tomorrow.... |

In my past life I was a Geisha.
What can I say but I ROCK! Ok, maybe not, but I had fun! I really needed to take a break from the web page project I started into. Little did I know that it would take over my entire weekend. I had dreams about it last night! I think I got into something beyond my abilities. You guys have been so nice with the comments. Thanks. ^_^
Now, about the picture. The above picture is from the Japan Airlines Christmas Party talent show from....sometime in the early 80's. I don't remember exactly what year, but I bet my mom would remember. Parents remember that sort of stuff. I am the one in the middle. There was 5 of us who danced. The thing I think is kinda funny is I still remember the dance I learned way back then!
Bon dances, talent shows, school projects...I used my fan dancing skills whenever someone asked me too. The picture I put in the My Picture box is from a performance I did at a church function. It was just me by myself...going solo...yeah. The spotlight just on me!!
Just kidding, I am not that much of a ham. :P
Sorry the pictures are so dark, my scanner really sucks. I need to get a new one. But you know how it is...new anime or new scanner.....for some reason new anime seems to win. Maybe one of these days I will break down and by a new one. ::shrugs::
Well, I will probably continue working on that link page later. If you want to join please let me know. It looks kinda sad with just me and Monkey on the page. Come on, join us!
I made a button for myO site. I have to wait until Monday at work to mess with my intro since my computer really screws up the HTML for the intro. But I will post it here for you guys to look at. It isn't fancy, but it is cute!
I am off to catch up on all the myO updates I have missed while blindly trying to make a web ring I have no idea of how to make. I'll see you on the boards too! Later kids! ~_^ |

HTML coding is evil!
Thanks for the suggestions all. I know there are some odds and ends that need to be worked on. I still need to work on buttons stuff....still too tired. I really don't know how people can stand doing web stuff like typing in code and stuff all day. Truly an evil thing. I am sure there is an easier way that those in the know use, but I don't know what I am doing so whatcha expect! :P
I am very jealous of all of you "youngins' since you all got to grow up with the internet and it has been apart of your lives forever basically. I am an oldie moldie and didn't actually get online for the first time until.....I think it was 2000 or 2001. I think I have learned quite a bit in that amount of time. My web site is by far not anything fancy but at least I can say I made it from scratch!
I will be sending some of you guys some PMs and/or emails to ask some questions about your comments. Right now I need to get some chores done around the house first. I have been putting off laundry and stuff since I have been working on this fan site link stuff.
After I finish all that I will make changes on a few odds and ends. I am just rambling now, I should go. Thanks again for the comments all! |

Ok, I have a rough draft for the link page.
Be honest, what do I need to fix? I have never made one of these things before. It was kinda fun. I, of course, am not a web designer or graphic artist so this is just for fun. I made up some buttons and a banner to put in myO Intro...but you guys know about the wackiness with my computer and myO Intro so I have to wait to put it up until I go to work on Monday. Here's the banner and link...
Tell me what you think. To answer a question right off, I couldn't think of what to call this link page so I titled it "Nozomashii" which means "desirable" in Japanese. And I think you will all agree that these guys are very desirable! I made it a Bishounen and Biseinen page.
Let me know what you think. I am tired. I will work on revisions later. I haven't even linked my site yet. I put the button up but that was it. It goes to a dead link right now. Oh well. I will get to it tomorrow. Night all!
Edit: I forgot to add that the page I made is all in Flash. I think everything is working now AniFreak. Hope you can see it now! Working between Flash and HTML makes my brain hurt. I guess this is why I work better with animals than computers!^_^

What is precious to you?
Just for Orange Monkey, I used the Dr. Nii sprite for the subject line! He kinda creeps me out! ::shivers:: Creepy Bunny Guy....
Ok, since it looks like there is a positive response to the Saiyuki web ring thing. I think I will add a page to my website. What I was thinking was to put a list of Saiyuki fan sites on, make a banner/button for anyone to put on their sites and maybe we could put a something in our signatures on OB and in myO. If you guys have suggestions let me know. I think I will start in on that this weekend.
This Saiyuki marathon has really made me want to do something to show my fandom, do you know what I mean?
I will start working on a banner and link page layout. If you want me to add your page to the websites give me your URL, what you want me to call your site and a short description if you want me to add one.
Also, what do you think we should call this little webring? We need something unique....suggestions would be appreciated!
Anyway, while I am working on that I thought instead of my typical storytelling I will jump on the question bandwagon!
Ok, my life is an open book, ask any questions you want and I will answer them. I think I have done my fair share of question asking on everyone's myO pages, now it is time for payback! :P
Have fun with the questions and thank you all for the kind comments about Heston. ^_^

Heston has the best karma in the world!
Heston has taught me a lot about good karma. Despite all the trials he has been through in his life he is still the sweetest dog in the world. He doesn't get mad or try to bite even when he is scared. You would think after the neglect and abuse he had been through he would be mean, but he isn't.
He loves baby animals, gets along with other dogs and cats, shares his toys and food, passed obedience class with flying colors and loves to cuddle. Everybody needs to have a sweet pup like him.
If only I could have his good karma.... |

Saiyuki Marathon!
I have started the Saiyuki marathon! Woo Hoo! I have been thinking about maybe starting a Saiyuki fan club here on theOtaku. I have met a bunch of Saiyuki fans through myO and think it would be fun to start a group. Just something that has been running through my mind. It would be kinda like the Excel Saga group I joined up with. I don't know, what do you guys think? Perhaps start a little web ring of fan sites....something to think about I guess.
Does anyone know where I can get a Dokugakuji sprite? If someone knows be sure to let me know. I am missing him from my youkai collection here! Well, I am going to get back to watching Sanzo! Later! |
