Of bad knees and the want of gum.

Yo yo yo!

So my knee is hurting and woke me up. :( I bunged on the last of my My Hime dvds and I must say the show rocked! Totally wicked and I enjoyed it all the way. I was going to do a long blog tonight but I've decided against it since all I've been doing since 5am is filling out forms. ¬_¬ Uni had better be worth it this year after this much paper work. And its still no where near finished.

My band client was very happy with his cd cover, which is a good job to as I spilt paint water all over my other design. I'm gona try and nab a free cd off of him ^_^

Yeh... So I really fancy some chewing gum right now... But I'll leave you with some fairytale inspired photos I found online instead.

Death note, Dolls and other obsessions

Yo Pj lovers!

OMG how addicted to Death Note am I? I swear its the cause of my late nights at the moment. Tis soo0o0o good! I might have to add it to my collection, I'm seriously considering it.

For all those who don't know Death Note is an anime series based on the manga by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrator Takeshi Obata. When Light Yagami discovers a Death Note left in the school yard he becomes intrigued by the pledge in it that claims that if you write someone's name in the Death Note then that person will die. Light sets out on a mission to rid the world of criminals killing those who get in his way in very intelligent methods to prevent suspision from the police. Soon L the investigator is on his back, trying to support his suspicsions of Light. L is an odd characther but thoroughly loveable and you can't help but love to hate Light. This series is extremely clever and very well explained. Even though it is deep and complex it is easy and enjoyable to follow and very very addictive.

I really can't work out who this deviant art piece belongs to. I found it on google but couldn't open the page with it on to find out. I think that its blooming amazing though, the art is so0o0o good. Who ever it belongs to, my hat comes off to them.

This is my favourite character, L. And I'm so0o so0o so so lucky because I really do think that my boyfriend looks a lot like him. **sigh** :)

L is an odd character but Oh so lovable. Deathnote has also been turned into a Japanese film so I may have to ebay that lil miracle.

Onto the dolls, not much to report other than I am working on some commissions right now, one of which is a book illustration that I am hating. And so, being the true procrastinator that I am I've started another doll. This time I'm doing one of my friend Angela. She is a crazy rock chick who I love to pieces. She really made my last birthday a good one as well with her hillarious antics.

This is her looking cute and innocent.......................... This is crazy Angela after dark lmao.

Did som wicked red hair for her doll and then found out this afternoon that she's dyed it black ¬.¬ It's gona stay red on the doll. She can colour it in with felt tip if she has to but it's staying red.

http://www.rodguen.com/gallery/main.php I'm a lil bit obssessed with comics and have been for a long time and this page was linked to me by Possom (the nun in the piccie.) She links me with the best sites. I also like http://www.mows.com/ and of course Ctrl-Alt-Del.

Well PJ fans, catch u soooooooon!

Sleeping Sweeties

I'm dosed up to my eye balls. Had a double dose of the sleeping pills, that might I add look like sweets! I added my anime and manga list to my blog today. Yes I have a lot :S Its an addiction that I refuse to seek help for. lol. Just wanted to list a couple of my favorites.

Pretear:

Pretear was I think possibly the first anime I ever watched and I instantly fell in love. The show is in subtitles and if full of cute drawings. It starts by introducing the main character Himeno and shows us how upbeat and possitive she tries to remain. Obviously there's romance and other intercharacter relationships to consider as with all anime and manga. The story is told in 12/13 episodes and beware you can get hooked. There are frightfully cute characters as well as ones so positively charming you want to make cooing noises at the tv. Pretear involves a mix of cuteness, magic, strength, angst and meloncholy and remains to this day as one of my favs.

Ouran High School Host Club:

Ouran is the most KAWAII anime I have ever seen and I've seen tonnes. It follows a cute art style with less detail than some but the humour in this more than makes up for it.

Upon breaking a very expensive vase in the Host club's main room Haruhi is mistaken as a boy and forced to work for the Host club until she has repaid them for the vase. Full of hillarious humour, love triangles and great adventure Ouran warms the heart and and brings laughter to the viewer. How long before Haruhi is discovered as a girl working in the Host Club?

With characters from the devilish and mischievious twins, The wild type, Cool type, the lolita boy type and of course the ever flirtatious, ever protective Prince Charming, Tamaki.

Ceres- Celestial Legend:

I first came across this anime after reading the first two mangas. I was DESPERATE to find out more but could not afford the books. I went on ebay and brought the boxset... How glad I am that I did! It touched me the same way that Pretear did. I would even say more so. The story was indepth, there was great character developments, the art was great even though the budget was hard to stretch. Yuu Watase's create was brought to life in a incredible style. The story just kept on twisting and turning full or surprises, heart ache, humour and general smile inducing brilliance. The characters were introduced brilliantly and you really got hooked. The only fault to it was the voices for the English dub. It was very staggered at times and you kind of felt that the characters weren't speaking in the right emotions.

Anyway Ceres is about Aya Mikage a 15 year old twin, who, upon reaching her 16th birthday, discovers that there is more to her family and her ancestry than she had ever known. The series starts with a shoking end to the first episode which keeps you questioning all the way through. Aya discovers that she is the decendant of a Ceestial being, an angel out on a vendeter to retrieve her celestial robes, seek revenge against the Mikage family and return to heaven. The problem being that Ceres awakens from within Aya and takes over and when she does Aya has no way of controlling her.

Characters such as Aki- her twin brother, Yuhi- The kind hearted, protective boy she now lives with. Toya- the obligatory hot guy who can't help but protect her even when he works for the family that's trying to kill her. Suzumi- another descendant of a Celestial being who lets Aya into her home and protects her. Mrs Q- a hillarious and wacky maid that lives with Yuhi and Suzumi.

Anyways. To bed I go, I HOPE I get some sleep, PLEASE!!!
