I has more pictures for all of you! Family and I went down to the fish ladder to see if we could actually watch and perhaps get pictures of the Trout jumping...but it's not as nice a place to take pictures as the rapid down stream I've been photographing at.

Here's Chaz being silly with my uncle, he loves to rub his head against people with stubble.


( On to the Pictures! )

You saw them! You can't unsee them! ^_~

and now back to whatever it was I was doing before....[can't remember]

I've done it again! *gasp* I made another slide show to music, yet again where I linked the pictures to what was being said. [could have sworn I said I wasn't going to do that again ^_~] But it's a lot of fun!

I did this one for my mum, she absolutely loved the Cat Macros song neekabe showed me. And with all the pictures she took of the kitties we had basically everything we needed.



Proudest moment? ^_^

Getting that pancake shot! we actually did that today, didn't take all that long either, I tried putting it on all their heads several times and it was just sheer luck that Heero remained still long enough for the picture! So happy for fast cameras ^_~

So I hope you enjoyed!

w00t! I have not had this much luck in writing in a long time!

so here's another drabble [what I call drabbles]

Title: Now What?
Show: Doctor Who
Disclaimer: I don't own

( Now What? )

I hope you enjoyed, please forgive any typos and the like. Also if you have prompt ideas feel free to share, I'm very much in the mood to keep writing, and I'd like to hang onto this for as long as I can.

today turned out to be a beautiful day, so I went out to take some pictures with me new camera. I've wanted to go down to the river for just this purpose for a long time now, I think the idea first hit when winter started, and like I've said before I hate using my camera in the cold.

we live in a valley, more to the point our house is located on one of the sides, and running through the middle [like a two minute walk from home] is the Ganaraska River



which has drawn a lot of attention to the town, for several reasons, there's the salmon run [hugely popular! not a huge fan myself if only because it makes the town smell more like fish than usual] there's also the Float Your Fanny Down the Ganny Race, which happens every year, usually one a very cold rainy weekend in April. this year the weather was surprisingly beautiful, but since I don't really care for the town or it's traditions I didn't know anything about it.

this year they no doubt had problems with the river running so high and fast, the amount of snow we got has really done this area well.

( cause I like old things )

so there you go, and why not a couple more





I think this is something I'll do more often ^_^

Oh nos Iz been tagged by morrighangw

Um can I make this manga? [haven't really read novels since I realised they screw up my writing...I take on the characteristics of the author I'm reading at the time]

Total number of books owned:
A LOT!! I'm running out of space to keep them all...but last count was a year or two back, and that put me up of 200 I think...we're probably looking at 3-400 now ^_^

Last book bought:
Well there were actually 4 of them Fruits Basket vol 19, Wild Ones vol. 1, Godchild vol. 8, and ES [Eternal Sabbath] vol. 8

Last book read:
Fruits Basket vol. 18...I believe ^_~

Five books that mean a lot to you:
hmm...this is a hard one, although I really enjoy my manga I don't know if any of them reach out an touch me the way novels used too....I might have to go way back here and actually consider some of the books a used to read...

...

...

nope...looks like I'm going to have to opt out of this one, oh well ^_~

and now to tag me some people! ^_^

Tag five people to continue this meme:
neekabe, yubsie, i_paint_the_sky, ramenparty, and adaon6

Am so loving every little thing about Crisis Core!! Zack has to be one of the funnest character's I've ever played. He's right up there along with Balthier for sheer win!

I've met Arith for the first time in the game. To any out there playing as well [if this seems like a long time] I've been doing a lot of missions, and I've managed to not be playing 24/7 though I'll admit it's hard!

The hardest part about this game [in my opinion] is knowing how it's all going to end...even in the beginning you know it's going to be bittersweet and I want happy! but I can deal with it. I wouldn't miss this game for the world!

Not only that but you get to see a lot more of Sephiroth, which makes me think that the authors out there who wrote stories before FFVII took place had him just about right on the money...makes me wonder if information on Sephiroth's personality was out there somewhere besides in the actually FFVII game...where he's a little insane.

Back to the game to enjoy every second of it!

Even if I couldn't tell by the weather or the birds singing outside my widow in the morning, my kitty Heero makes for an excellent gage of the weather. All of our Cornish Rex as sun worshipers, even in the winter they try to sit in the sun, but you can tell they don't enjoy it as much since it hardly give off any warmth.

The last few days, I've been woken up by Heero calling, licking and nibbling me all in an attempt to get me up. But I'll be damned if I get up before 7 ^_~ I clued in almost immediately that it must be the lengthening days. He's done this sort of thing to me before...but during winter he'll sleep just about until it's time for his breakfast [so much for that]

All four of them were basking in the sun this morning, and I can't wait until it gets a little warmer so we can open the front door and put their big cat tree in front of it. It's always a relief when we can do that, less fighting over the one perch that always gets the sunlight. Of course when that happens the boys are going to start calling for the sun to come through the back door in the afternoon *sigh* and then they'll want to go play outside in the backyard ^_~ I love my kitties!

Yesterday mum picked up a hand mixer for me, which means it's easier to mix the meal replacements that I have. I'll be more likely to have them now, which is a good thing. Still don't have an apatite, but by now I'm used to that. Kind of makes me wonder how long a person can live off those things though...I've basically only be drinking those since the beginning of March. Every now and then I'll have an actual meal, but more often than not I'm just not interested. Oh well...

I'm off to continue writing, I'd really like to get this Firefly story done today if possible, not entirely sure how likely that is. But it would be nice ^_~

for reasons completely unknown to me, this little lappy is picking up a perfect internet signal, which means I can post pictures while watching Atlantis ^_^ this = win!

I'm finally on the second season! [so much love!!]

alright back to pictures from Saturday!

( Animaritime Pictures Day 2 )

That's all for now ^_^ there's still a lot more to cover all of Sunday and the like ^_~

but I'm being distracted by Ronon ^_^ he's so shiny!

I has the latest volume of Blade of the Immortal It's a nice thick volume too!!

You get to learn a lot more about Dōa in it. The first time I saw her I thought she was this serious killer, working for the Ittō-Ryu. But I'm seeing that she's far more impulsive and in some cases even childlike in manner. Which just makes me smile every time because she can kill ten people in just a few minutes ^_~ love her 'sense of reason' Isaku! He's such a sweet steady guy. Doesn't need to fight really he's just so huge he can block and break just about anyway ^_~

And Anotsu!! you get to see him again!! Hayakurin asks him if he has a wife, his reply: "in a way"...which could either mean the woman he did marry who killed herself or, it could mean Makie I'm voting for Makie ^_~

Can't seem to warm up today no matter how hard I try *shakes fist* stupid lack of blood flow.

Well there's still more Blade to read...might last me the night, but I make zero promises.

Edit: I finished it! I really want to see more with Manji!! they're not being very nice to him and this doctor Ayame is totally nuts, but he might actually do it. He might create a Immortal, and it could possibly be Isaku ^_~

I don't think he'll ever see this ^_~ but I don't care!

Went out to the Keg tonight had a wonderful dinner, I was actually hungry which was nice though I guess not all the surprising considering I hadn't really eaten anything yet today ^_~

I also decided that if I could find the Sims 2 for PSP previously played I'd pick it up. And sure enough I found a copy in Cobourg so I've started a character her name's Hayden...I thought it would start much the same way my mom's PC version did, so I thought I'd be given the option to create a guy for her too...If I'd known it was just one I probably would have chosen a male character...I prefer to play them.

But so far I'm enjoying it! and now I have three games to balance between playing ^_~

Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology

Jeanne D'arc

And of course ^_~

Sims 2

and I also want to get some writing done, I had some good ideas come to me yesterday while I was chatting with neekabe just haven't had a chance to put them to use yet ^_~

Well Lex is no more!!!

I don't now what was up with this dog but nothing I did was right, he was upset all the time and didn't like either Vailyn or Ahrum. So I finally got fedup! and sold his sorry ass!

I now have a kitty, her name is Snowball ^_~ [what Josh wants Josh gets] ^_~

This kitty too seemed to have a thing with feng shui...but I rather enjoy rearranging the furniture. So Snowball is getting on great with both my Sims w00t

But if she should start causing problems....*shakes fist*

^_~

PS NO DOGS!!!!

I'm still finding this Sims game confusing...hard to explain exactly why. I know what to do for Kiefer to keep him at least relatively happy. That little exclamation mark meter is mostly full but the little face isn't smiling...just looking blank.

It's my dog Yaigure that I'm more confused about, bought him a dog bed but he slept on the floor which did nothing to raise his sleep bar...he also wouldn't wake up.

And then there's the whole job think I still haven't had a chance to see how it all works. I am enjoying this, I just think I'd enjoy it a lot more if I knew the ins and outs of it. and is it common to have the craziest sleeping hours? I have no idea how to get him on a normal awake during the day sleeping at night. Doesn't it even matter?

Well that's how things stand right now, am taking a break at the moment to watch Shooter ^_^ Love that movie!

plus...can I be adorkable?

My internal clock is completely and totally out of whack right now. I keep thinking it's around 10:00 in the morning, and then I see things that just don't fit like the sun coming in through the back windows, and clocks telling me it's 1:00pm...I know I had a hard time getting up this morning but really...what happened to my time?

*thinking*

...
...

I suppose some of it could have been eaten by playing Zoo Tycoon 2...seriously an addicting game! I'm working on this new Zoo, it has four different habitats, Tropical, Boreal, Desert, and Savannah. I've already taken care of the Tropical one fit a lot of animals in there too, and none of them are complaining about not having any space.

I wanted to try something different on the Savannah one though. I wanted to free range all the animals herbivors, and the carnivors and see what happens. Apparently if you leave them with no food put down they'll actually start to hunt ^_^ which makes it so life like.

But I've stopped playing for the moment to continue writing, and because I have to go run some errands in a little while...but no doubt before the day is done I'll be working on the next square of my Zoo. ^_~

Why does this site not ship to Canada?

On the back of my Final Fantasy Tactics rule book I saw 4 beautiful statues of characters form the game and Square Enix site. www.square-enix-shop.com where I found this ring I want! ^_~

But the stupid site doesn't ship to Canada, you have the choice of the US site or the Japanese...and neither ship outside of their country >_<

But all is not lost! I will yet be able to get the ring ^_^ all in good time!

I've got my Dark Knight! and I even have a second character with that job, and a third on the way. Dark Knight really makes for a one man army ^_^ can both deal damage and absorb health from an enemy to themselves.

And I got Baltheir!! his entrance into the game was great! some of his lines were really awesome!

Ramza: Why do you seek this...Chache of Glabados?

Baltheir: Women, treasure--does a man need reason to reuse beauty.

and then later.

Baltheir: Who do you think you're talking to? The leading man never balks at a little danger

Baltheir: Though this does have more the feel of a cameo role...


[So much love for Baltheir right now!!]

At level 34 he's already an awsome fighter, despite the fact that my characters are more than double his level ^_^

He's now become a permanent member of my part!

Acquiring Balthier

- Chapter 4

- Finish fights at Free City Bervenia

- Go to Gareland City, read the rumor "Rash of Thefts"

- Go to Dorter Trade City read the rumor "Call for Guards"

- and then try and leave the city

I can't wait to get him!! He sounds like an awesome character!!

Edit:

*cries* new information on getting the Fell Knight...

Ramza must kill 20 enemies...and wait for their bodies to disappear, I might already have done that...but I won't actually know until I've mastered every job required *sigh*

The jobs required to gain Fell Knight [my ultimate goal]

Master: Knight, Black Mage

Level 8: Dragoon, Samurai, Ninja, and Geomancer.

of those I've mastered Knight, am working on mastering Dragoon, cause you might as well if you have to get to level 8, then I'll probably move onto Geomancer...I'm trying to put off Black Mage for as long as I can ^_~

Been enjoying my game today ^_^

While trying to fend off fights between my kitties...I say they have a love hate relationship, and the only reason why they put up with each other is because of me ^_~ I sometimes hate sitting down, because they'll both try and get comfortable. Sometimes it works easily other times it's hissing and biting, and I want to throw them both off of me...*sigh*

I love my kitties, so when they do get comfortable I hate having to disturb them...but I can't sit down forever >_< *sigh* and then it just starts all over again...

Right now they're sitting beside each other, and Chaz was actually licking Heero, so for now all is good.

I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow! ^_~

I haven't advanced the story too far yet, I've been busy leveling my characters up, three of them have master Squire, Knight, and are now working on Monk ^_~

I love the fighting style because it's tactical, so each fight is different and you aren't just mindlessly hitting the attack button ^_~

There are two new classes in this version of the game, one [the one I'm really interested in] is called a Dark Knight! I can't wait to get it, but it's going to take away, since it requires the maxing of a lot of job classes ^_~ which is okay cause I remember going through the game and having Ramza [main character] master every job just so I could say I did ^__~

in conclusion this game makes my feet very happy!

This game is pure Gold!!

*so much love*

they redid the script! it's so perfect now! they have cut scenes beautifully dubbed! This game is almost better than anti depressants. I know that won't last ^_^ but I'll take what I can get!!

I love this game! and now being able to take it anywhere is awesome!! if you like tactical games you have to have this one ^_^ nothing tops Final Fantasy Tactics ^_~
