...at least half my face isn't numb now. For like five or six hours today I couldn't smile at people because it'd look really, really, scary. And talking was made difficult, because in the process of getting half my mouth numbed, half my tongue also... plus this cough I've got... not so much coughing now though, it's just like - my voice is quieter than usual. It's still there! Barely. ...Good thing I'm a hermit at home so I don't talk to a lot of people anyway [?!]. 8D
Btw I had stuff done to my teeth at the dentist's today, which is why my face was numb. I forgot that part. ...or, you know, I just lost feeling in part of my body for a while for no reason. D:

HEY so I did something that's exciting [for me] today and yesterday: KUUGA!!
I don't know how much he actually looks like Kuuga [not a lot], but you know...

And something that's [for me] even more exciting than that: KIVAARA!
Chhhyaaah. Of course I have no idea how accurate her suit is because of... the lack of her, but I did what I could.

( Team Decade is now complete! )

I should go do something with my life.
:(

Hey, it's 2010! That's.... exciting. I guess?

SORA-CHYON kekeki and I celebrated the new year... by watching DL6!! Finally. But we're caught up on the myus now (aren't we?!)! Finally. What better way to start of the new year, eh eh?

Speaking of which, the new year seems to be kicking off well in other ways. Ono Kento in Goseiger? Yes please :D Maochan is an added bonus, but I'm looking forward to Kento mostly [I don't know the rest of the cast, but I'm excited!]. Too bad I barely know what Goseiger is about! :D;;;
But on the downside of things, NYC Boys as a regular group? Mmm, not sure how I feel about that. I want more HSJ. And more YuBIS. :\ Well I'll just ignore it for now, since that's how I do.

I have resolutions for this year, which I normally don't do, but in this case my resolutions are more like a to do list than anything. Items on this resolution/to do list include: learning how to hold babies, getting unsick, and cleaning up my desk. Yyyup.

You know how I ended last year with a Decade pic? Guess who's here today! Here's a hint: it starts and ends with W [WoW?!].

( New Year, yo )

Huzzah 2010! Let this year be just as awesome, if not more so than the last!

And omg Diana Wynne Jones's Enchanted Glass comes out this month (in the UK)!!! AAAHHHH ♥♥♥

Hey guys. Soon, it'll be 2010! Wowzers!

But for right now it's still 2009 [here, anyway. Hello from the last decade, my friends in China who won't see this!], and thanks to my mother's cooking and the ventilation system in our house, my room is starting to smell like an Asian market!
Sure, it's relevant.

Psh. I can't make a cool 2009 recap post. Cool stuff happened [graduation! college! summer rocked! DIKEIDOOO], and not cool stuff happened [carpal tunnel-inducing culminating project (ew)! my birthday kinda sucked! uh, college is hard!], but overall I feel like 2009 was a good year. :D

Bah I suck at these posts. HAVE A YEAR-END PICTURE.

( The end of a Decade )

Thanks, 2009. It's been cool. :D

Happy New Yurr everyone!

Is it sparkletext time? I think it is.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope everyone is having a good day regardless of whether they celebrate Christmas or not. :D And for those who do celebrate, I hope you've been good!

In fact, because I'm a dork like this, maybe we SHOULD check on who's been good this year.
( WHY DON'T WE ASK NARUTAKICLAUS? )

Ruh-roh. Looks like some kids have been bad this year [and some are questionable]! In particular, one certain Kaito Daiki! Looks like Diend's not getting any presents this year.

Psh, well, Daiki's not having any of that. Why should other people get stuff when he's not? There's only one solution to this.

( How Kaito Daiki Stole Christmas )

Merry Holidays and Happy Christmas, everyone! :D

Some day relatively soon [or not] I'mma get me a new layout that I can actually read the text on. Yea~! ;D [wait what?] And like update my profile and stuff. Yuh-huh.

So yesterday I said I was going to make some Kamen Riders, and look, I did! That makes a total of four! Yeah, not very many. I only made two yesterday; Decade Complete Form and NEW Den-O to go along with the Decade [regular] and Diend I have from summer.

( All four under the cut! )

I plan on making the rest of the Heisei main Riders at some point, though since I have Decade, Diend, and Decade Complete I feel like I should make Kuuga [and perhaps Kivaara?] just to complete the set :B;;

Speaking of which, does anyone have any good references of the back of Kuuga's armor? D: Mighty form, that is.
I'd also like to try making a Kivaara too [NATSUMIIIII♥], but the lack of full and back pictures of her makes it pretty hard D:
Also I was wondering if anyone would be interested in commissioning some. Just a question D: *flail*

Just after a conversation I had with SORA-CHYON in which we discovered the approximate timeframe when I started getting into Kamen Rider [thank you, Den-O. Look what you've done.].

ANYWOOZLES [?], have some terrible Kamen Rider fanart! None of them are colored because I'm lazy and I suck at coloring.
I must find a way to make the characters look more like themselves and less generic. Perhaps - learning how to draw faces, hmm? *So Fisty Kated eyebrow quirk*

KAMEN RIDER FANART
Decade x2
Den-O x4 [ALL OF WHICH INCLUDE KOTARO. WTF, SELF]
Double/W x1

Ugh big pictures are big. Sorry.

SO THERE'S AN ARTDUMP FOR YOU. Gosh those pictures are big.
Please do not repost anywhere without my permission everrr D:

NINJA ASSASSIN WAS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!
If you want a semi-legitimate excuse for watching a little over 1.5 hours of shirtless Rain. :Db

( Plot:Gore:Gratuitous-Rain-ab-shots ratio = 1:5:8.75 )

Overall, the film was not very good. XD I say this somewhat affectionately, because really - we weren't expecting it to be good. We went to see it for Rain (we're not even avid fans of him. It's just cool to see someone like that in a Hollywood film), and that was mostly it. I kind of wanted to see cool action scenes.
I wouldn't recommend this film for anyone who wants something really high quality, or for people who have weak stomachs or who can't handle a lot of gore. The acting is passable, and the plotline is pretty simple. But if you're a fan of Rain and want to see him on the big screen in America, speaking in [accented] English - go for it! Just don't expect something amazing. :D

( Highlights of the film?! )
Lol "highlights." Being the laundromat scene, the film knowing enough not to take itself seriously, and RAIN'S ABS. Mmmhmm.

( I LOVE PREVIEWS )

Tomorrow I will hopefully see The Road!! Yaaaayyyy Viggo Mortensen. It's like two special people in a row. [??]



PS: YOU HAVE A SPECIAL HEART.

Eff. I'm going to die.

This is confirmed by the dramatic Double music playing in the back of my head.

:<
I want a break already! [we don't get one until Thanksgiving, hoohoo.]

/BAWWWW

My new wallpaper is VERY BRIGHT and VERY PINK MAGENTA PINK (and kind of magenta also. Can we call it Fuchsia and pretend like it's even more manly than ~Magenta~ which is obviously manlier than Pink?).

( LOOK AT IT HERE <3 )

For the record, Ryota came out my favorite. If you'll notice, there's a steady decrease in quality from left to right - that's the order I did them in. Kimito's facial shadows gave me so. Much. Trouble. D: (even if it WAS a trace! Wtf self).

I like it, even if that's a bit shameless.

:(
