Mood:Happy; Listening to: "Hana Kagari" by Yumi Shizukusa

Hey guys! ^^/

Thanks for all the nice comments you guys left for Yuki. Unfortunately, Yuki died soon after i posted on Tuesday. I was upset, obviously but I'm okay now. I still miss him, though cuz he was a funny little rat. Always hyper and wanting to run around. I still have Onigiri. He's the calmer one, who will actually stay on my shoulder if I put him there. ^_^ lol But yes, even though I didn't have Yuki for that long, I still got pretty attached to him. Its hard for me not to, cuz I love animals so much. I'm still not quite sure what caused him to get so sick, but I'm just glad that he didn't suffer too long.

Meh, I had trouble sleeping last night. I don't know why but my room gets hot too easily in the summer. So, last night got really hot so I woke up at around 4:00am and, usually I would of gone back asleep, but due to it being way too hot for me (even with my fan on High), I just couldn't get back to sleep. I gave up at around 6am and read Hellsing Vol. 4 then watched the rest of the Love Hina anime, which was actually pretty good, btw. The manga was better, of course, but the anime was still pretty good. ^_^

I went with my mom yesterday to go eat and then shopping. My mom was going to eat lunch with my dad during his lunch break and invited me and my brother Vincent to come along (Nick was at our grandma's house so he obviously couldn't come along). We went to a Chinese restaurant (Mmmmm...). They had really good food and I was really hungry, so I think I ate quite a bit. ^__^ After that, my dad went back to work and my mom wanted to go to the aquarium to look at (and maybe buy) fish (my parents have a fascination with fish. We have 2 or 3 tanks full of different kinds of fish). They actually had some pretty fish, along with some plain odd-looking ones! ^^; After that, we saw a Hobby Lobby and since I was in need of a new lamp, as you guys know, we went in to see if they had any. Surprisingly, they didn't have any that I was looking for. Yea, they had some but they were like over $60! I was like, "Why so expensive?". I'm sure there was a reason but I know nothing about lamps so I had no idea what that reason would be or if it would be worth the money. ^^; But while we were looking for the lamps (this was at a Hobby Lobby that we'd never been in before, so we didn't know our way around the store) I found this pencil case that would be perfect for putting my Prismacolors in...so I bought it. ^_^ Before, they were in a couple of drawers in my Drawing table. But now they are all nicely organized in the new pencil case. ^__^ Since we had no luck finding a lamp at Hobby Lobby, we went to Asel Art Supply to see what they had. Guess what? We succeeded in finding the lamp! XD But before that, I saw some other things that I wanted to get. ^^;; I found these 2 portfolio binders that would be very useful for me. One was for drawings that are no bigger than 8 1/2x12 inches, which is what most of my drawings are and the other one is for drawings that are no bigger than 11x14 which I'll need soon since my Sora drawing is gonna be bigger than 8 1/2x12. ^_^We also looked at the easels, since my mom knows that I've been wanting one. If you guys remember, awhile back, I talked about how I wanted one, but didn't know where I would put it since my room is so small. Well, while looking at the easels, we saw one that could fold up to about the size of a suitcase, so it can easily be stored! Perfect, ne? What made it even better was the fact that it was on sale! XD The regular price was $179.95 but I got it for 107.95! XD Before we left, I decided to look at the Prismacolors to see if there were any colors I didn't have that I might need. I did buy some. Usually, they sell for over a dollar each, but at Asel's, I can get a student discount so they were only 89 cents each. ^__^ So yes, I like shopping there cuz I can get art supplies for cheap. I don't get to go there often, though cuz its kinda far. ^^; But anyways, yesterday was a fun day. I got the lamp set up yesterday, put the Prismacolors in the case, and put all my drawings in the new porfolio. ^_^ I even set up the easel just to see how it worked. It was hard and confusing at first but I figured it out. ^_^ Its put up now until I need to use it. ^__^

Hehe, I'm sorry. This post gotten really long, hasn't it? ^^;;; Well, I guess that makes up for the days I wasn't here, ne? :P Talk to you guys later! ^^/

Oh yea, Thanx to Chris for sending me this card for my 2nd Otaku-versary. ^_^


Thanx again, Chris. You're cards and pics never fail to put a smile on my face. ^__^
