  • 3745 hits 2007-08-03 16:56:32 Another day. Yesterday I helped my mom prime & paint a wall in her room, in preperation for the wall unit that was installed today. She chose lavender.

    I finished summer school. I am very glad it's over. I didn't enjoy the classes, & it was very hot in the car to & from class. I think I did okay in both my classes.

    Over the weekend, I stayed at Eric's house. Because Eric is playing FF12, I wanted to play. It's more fun than the others to me; the game play is more like a mmorpg. Both Eric & I agree that Vaan is irritating. Bashi8er is cool. I hate Fran; why is there a playboy bunny in a ff game??!

    Since I came back home, I've been watching some loaner anime. Saw I'm gonna ba an angel, dubbed on vhs. Weird show. 3rd weirdest I've seen. Also Gunsmith Cats, & You're Under Arrest, which Eric won in a contest.

    It's hot. Perhaps it's time for another of Sabrina's special cranberry milkshakes. They're good (and in no way low-card ^*-^ )

    In the amv front, I'm recompressing the amv I last completed, so hopefully it'll be more compatible & have a smaller file size. I had an idea for a new amv, involving Nami from One Piece rotoscoped & put to the Rolling Stones "She's Like a Rainbow." I used Photoshop instead of just After Effects. It can do different things, but I was a bit disappointed that the psd file couldn't be imported in one step with layers. I need a new editing program, but it's fun to make sequences in the meantime. 
  • 3650 hits 2007-07-12 19:56:53 Finished 2 papers for summer college today, so I had some online time. Won't be getting my own internet until fall, IF I get back into the dorms. I hate California for so many reasons.....

    Found a cute website http://www.sewdarncute.com/ Wish I had space for a sewing room.

    I finished my summer-themed video a couple weeks ago. I had to complete it in after effects, after imovie quit on me. As a result, the end isn't synched to the music properly, but I'm fairly happy with it. When I get another video editing program, I plan to finish my other 3 videos that are half done. Too bad I can't post anything online for awhile.... Maybe Eric will let me borrow his internet today.

    I baked some peanut butter cookies yesterday. Baking is my hobby.

    Warning: self-pity zone ahead.

    I really don't want any part of my life anymore. There's nothing I enjoy in my daily life. I rewatched Wolf's Rain, so now I'm out of anime. My life is becoming empty. Since my grandparents cut me off, & I got fired, I don't even have enough money for gas or food. My stomach hurts more & more. I was thinking it was food-related, but it hurts when I wake up in the morning, before I've had anything to eat, & continues to hurt all day. It's worsened over the years, & I can't afford a doctor to diagnose it.
    I've been fantasizing about immigrating to Canada for the free health care, but as an unskilled worker with a film degree, there are no jobs for me. It's quite scary to realize you have no future. Maybe I'll open a bakery...

    I watched lots of One Piece during my break, & practiced cooking. I'll be damned if an anime character is better at cooking than me (SANJI!!!). I made cookies, peanut brittle, chili, gumbo, & scampi. Today, unless the live clams have gone bad, I'll try clam chowder.

    In exciting news, Eric slept over last nite. We watched NANA, then cuddled & talked. It was very sweet. My mom had a freakout this morning when she found out. I really need to get an apartment. Fortunately, I have a job interview on Thursday. Unfortunately, it's during one of my summer classes. Hopefully I won't miss much. I need $, cuz food is expensive.

    Ganbatte, mina-san! 
  • 3546 hits 2007-05-14 01:43:21 Mother's day was today. My mom &Eric's mom met for the 1st time on a brunch thing @ Eric's house. It was tasty, omlettes & waffles. Then I went to work til 10:30pm.

    I have a new job @ the beach hut. It's alright, mimimun wage & hours, but not too hard.

    Got started on my research paper. 1.3 pages down, 3.6 pages to go. Oh, alternative media. At least the teacher agreed to let me take the final early so I can go to fanime. yay!
