Its 11:28 p.m. why isn't Steph asleep yet!?!

Waiiiiii! ^^

My friend and good traveling companion, Tiff. She's such a great person. ^^ I have fond memories of Akon and I plan to go back (well one day... =P) But anways that's about it. Aside from the fact that I took down my xoom page The Rurichan Connection. ;_; but its all for the best (no pesky xoom bar) however I think I'll have to put up my Jeanne page back up once again ^^;;; But I'll do that as soon as I figure out what I want to do with it (ie as in image or text version).

Its nice to relax and watch TV and drink tea and just sorta forget about stuff. Its been a loooooooong time since I could do that. I almost forgot what it felt like. Anways tomorrow I will probably amble down to my doctor and then to J-town to do some xmas shopping and then figure out where to get a good haircut. (and maybe if things get organized dinner with Tanzy and Emi). Well that's about it. ^^ baibai

Listening to: Shakira - Tu

Rurichan's Cafe: A Delicious Page

Wow! I finally got Delicious up! It finally got the layout it deserved. Mostly because I could never think of a good layout for Delicous that it stayed the way it stayed. The link above is the link for Delicious! Delicious is one of my favorite manga the current mangaka is working on another equally cute series called Wind Up Tina.

Delicious is about a girl named Ringo who wants to learn how to cook with all her heart. At first she auditioned for a cooking show just to see her idol Mahito. But she gets the part as his partner on the show Delicious Time! Ringo can't even peel an apple well but she knows someone that does. She turns to her bestfriend Kazuomi and begs him for help on recipies. Kazuomi has a secret crush on Ringo (and of course Ringo is clueless ^^;;) and helps her because he cares for her.

Going off topic, I had a weird dream, it pretty much is probably a result of reading manga (one of them being HanaKimi) right before I go to sleep and being up for too long. I dreamed I was Mizuki from HanaKimi and I was at some park with Sano! It was strange. ^^;;;

Listeing to: Today by the Smashing Pumpkins (my favorite song of all time!)

Wooooooooooooooooo!

Don't you love it when things go right? ^_^ Especially with html, you fiddle with html and pray it works and reload the page and BAM! the page looks like how you want it! ^^

I love this link, it pretty much showed me neat things to do with my pages (though its mostly IE related but oh well...)

and with 14 hrs of sleep what else could I want? (ok well I want to make cake cuz I have frosting sitting in my fridge...)

Now to go xmas shopping tomorrow ^_^ and to study for finals. Listening to: The Eccentric Opera - Ai no Fugut (The Nazca OP song)

What Steph is reading...

Go Bal! ^____^ I love coaching, its the teaching ethic I think. The ability to say "yes I that's my kid!" and the satisfaction of someone else learning from what you taught them. Its almost non-guilty egoism. o.o

Anyways I am soooooo proud of my kids at Balboa High School, all four girls walked home with an award. Amelia got a speaker award, a 4th place team award, and a rising star award. Suzanne's first time earned her a rising star award, a 4th place team award, and a firsttimer award. Camelia and Marlena both got 15th team awards. We did well over all (that and after a great 2nd round where Amelia and Suzanne won over ISA ^^). I am so proud of BAL and its effort.

Aside from that I got this thrill from prepping my kids before a round against my friend Tony's team (ISA) we both sat there for 10 mins stuffing our kids heads with information. In the end Amelia's experience outweighed ISA's prepping. But then again it was a lopsided round from the beginning. ISA is not strong on the neg and Amelia has had loads of experience.

Anyways I'm trying to figure out where to get astro-turf, pink lawn flamingos, and lawn gnomes. They're for a present for my friend Mary who loves wacky things like that. I wanted to get her this gift and surprise her with it. Its really cool its like a "slice" of lawn for the dorms. ^_^ But I need to figure out where that goes as well as what other gifts I gotta buy. ~_~

Listening to: Snow Dance (Dreams Come True - This song is cool!)

I'm bad-ass. I'm angsty. I'm surly. I look like I belong to a JRock band.

Anyways I'll blog and go to sleep I have to get up early and go with my team (Go Balboa HS!) and see them hopefully make a good showing.

I updated doki-doki. ^^ Its quite nice right now with pretty layouts that look near perfect on IE but not on netscape. ;_; I may have to take a class to make sure I program right =P I also added a few more pages but that I'll leave up to you to go see what they are. The link title pretty much explains the layout. I love Yoshimi Wataru's art she can make angsty look funny at the same time. (My friend Charles would appreciate this layout soooooo much!)

I had a pretty good day today considering I slept through most of it. ^^;;; (16 hrs of sleep is like heavensent to me!) I pretty much ignored everything today and slept when I felt like it. This why sleep is a hobby for me.

Another thing, Greg-san sent me the Excel Saga Reverse ED song. For those of you not familiar with Excel Saga, its the epitome of every fan saying "wouldn't it be cool to have a parody of all anime?" Which is what Excel Saga pretty much is. Its about a girl named Excel whose mission is to go out in the name if Illapraso (I think I got the name wrong) and do as her leader (a blond bishonen who is learning how to play the electric guitar XD) says. Excel has a little dog partially for a pet and partially as her "last reserve" meaning dinner. Which is what this song is about. The ED song has the little dog coming up to a small microphone and singing in little woofs "Please don't eat me, I'm too tough, but if you do make it quick and fast." A translator translates "dog" in to Japanese. ^^;;; The reverse song that Greg-san sent me is Excel singing and the dog translating. Its hilarious (especially the part where Excel freaks out.

On the same note of anime music, I *want* the Utena soundtracks. I love background music (of any genre) which is why most of the cds I buy are of soundtracks of series, its mostly the background music that attracts me. ^^ (Which is also why I ended up buying KareKano OSTs 1&2 at the same time ~_~)

Listening to: Majinga Z song (its so retro!)

Gimme Keeki or I will avenge for my Oneesama

Maybe its the questions and maybe it was the time I took the test but how in the hell did I end up with Enishi as my #1 o.O (at least I'm not Sano or something =P). *Steph demands a recount.* Yeah yeah bad puns & all.
Here were the results:
# 1 Yukishiro Enishi
# 2 Himura Kenshin
# 3 Shishio Makoto
# 4 Sagara Sanosuke
# 5 Shinomori Aoshi
# 6 Hiko Seijurou
# 7 Myoujin Yahiko
# 8 Seta Soujirou
# 9 Saitou Hajime
# 10 Jin-e

And on the flip side: I got something similar to me. (Tanzy would say yep you fit her all right =P)
Here were the female Kenshin results ^^;;
# 1 Makimachi Misao
# 2 Sekihara Tae
# 3 Takani Megumi
# 4 Kamiya Kaoru
# 5 Katsu Itsuko
# 6 Komagata Yumi
# 7 Mutou Sayo
# 8 Misanagi Moriya
# 9 Shuura
# 10 Sanjou Tsubame
# 11 Yukishiro Tomoe

So with that I will go and find my oneesan and avenge for her death. =) (And I was hoping to get Aoshi but I'm so far from Aoshi-like...)

And to no surprise I got Kerochan on the CCS character selector quiz. =P

Sano-inu!

^^ I forgot I had a scanner on campus, so I took advantage of them (and the G4 connected to it *_*) and colored in some pics and scanned them. ^^ This one is Sano-inu! ^^ Cute? It will probably go on a doki-doki layout however they aren't that layout-able =P I'll go with Kazuma as my layout for next year's doki-doki. ^^

Ow. I got my new arch wire in and the pain is starting to kick in. Earlier I had ice cream for lunch (on a cold rainy day in the middle of SF too! @_@). What's worse is the pressure my molars feel from the bands they put around the brackets so they pull my incisors towards the molars so the gaps close. PAINFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! I've discovered a new tolerance for dental work. ^^;;; Consequently my braces also make me look younger (which is kinda cool when paying less for the bus ^^;;).

Listening to: The Sailor Moon Outer Seishi Transformation song (that song has a cool violin melody in the middle!)

Mizuki-neko!

I had some time today and I found a scanner on campus and scanned in some cute images. Mostly of sano and Mizuki in these cute dog/cat costumes. I don't know why table commands are read differently on Netscape and IE, but on IE the blog layouts look nice and on Netscape they look rather bad. I don't know how to get the borders to do what I want them to do (let's not get started on frames ~_~) anyways, I plan on changing Doki-doki's layout soon (probably with either a cavity inducing image or with a bishonen) ^^ If anybody has the answer to my frame/table woes for netscape let me know. I'm big on uniformity and there's a problem when I don't have netscape at home and I design for just IE (oh well its content that matters really.)

On another note, I have decided to take down my Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne page when I finish transfering things from The Connection to Doki-doki. Its the fact that the page has been abused from the beginning. The Jeanne page was one of the first 6 out there and one of the first with more content than Hitoshi Doi's (I don't claim that anymore.) Infact it was the first page I think that had content period.

Being that it was one of the first pages out there, it was diced to pieces for its content, and images. Its not just images either, its layout, character descriptions, etc. I love that page to bits and I don't want to see it go down but the abuse of image stealing pretty much warrants a retirement. How hard is it to put a link and/or a few words about where you got the images? Seeing that the policy was abused I decided to take it down or redo it with out images and have *just* content up. Granted it makes for a borin read but in the end if they wanted to see KKJ images they could see the other 18+ pages on it.

Its a plus and a minus, I mostly got doki-doki to store KKJ and now I'm taking it down. It just leaves me more room to put other things on doki-doki. (Such as a better designed Suki Dakara Suki page.)

ooops gotta go coach my kids. ~_~ I'm getting Christmasbreak-itis (senior itis for college students I guess ^^;;;)

I archived go now =)

Hmmm I like changing the blog layout (mostly because I thought the Hinata layout would go better with the new blog I made.) This one proudly features an image I colored from the manga KamiKaze. Its a niiiiiiiice manga that features Ishigami as he tries to find the and fight the four others that have special powers. He's quite attached to a girl named Misao who has the ability to use water as her weapon.

So I changed the layout to Kaede from Kamikaze. The non-framed version can be found here. She's got this bad-ass character that pretty much got tired of this old lady (who apparently was the last person who could control the power of water) and lopped off her head! Pictured on the left is Kaede with her newly acquired water abilities.

Listening to: nothing
