Haircuts & houses & jobs oh my!

Macchan — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 02:08:13 +0000

Once again I’m slacking on posting. Ah well, things have been rather hectic and busy. I finally got my haircut… sometime around the end of February I think. I like having it short, but the style the lady gave me I absolutely hated. Basically she gave me the little lad hair cut from that guy in the berries & cream starbursts commercials. Yea, that. I go in wanting something fresh, young and trendy and I get THAT. It’s partially my fault though, I need to be more vocal. When I got back I took a pair of scissors to my hair to try and get rid of that awful candy corn shape, thankfully it seems I succeeded so now I am satisfied. I still plan on trying to get what I wanted styled later own when it grows back some.

Aside from that we are planning on buying a house and moving.^^ Yay! No more crappy existence in one room!! Sad part about this though is that I have to leave my lovely Nel some and work… first I was all gunho about it but now… I’m starting to get cold feet. I’ve only ever left her once and that was just for an hour… so yea.. I’m having separation issues. So scary!!!

Macchan – End catch-up blah

Still have not cut it

Macchan — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 07:23:57 +0000

I know I keep going on about me cutting my hair but I have yet to do it. Well I was gonna go to this place that specializes in long hair and its care but since it’s around 2-3 hours drive away I’m looking at other places. And guess what, turns out that place across the street cuts hair. Anyways I wanna try and get her to cut it this Sunday or Monday, whichever she has open I guess. I think I would prefer Monday since I’m going out and about on Tuesday.

Only problem with this is that I wanted to have a picture of my hair as it is now before I cut it that way I can look back and see how I have improved, if any. But my mom has my camera still. Ah well, guess if I really want I can try and take a pic with my cell phone. Might be able to get goober to do it too…

Macchan – End long overdue ramble

Wedding thoughts

Macchan — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 13:19:50 +0000

I wonder when I’ll be married… or I guess I should say have a wedding. Guess I’ll work on planning it while I wait. I think I would like to have it in the spring… late April to be more precice since that’s when me and goober met. I want a cake from Nanak Sweet Shoppe, they are sooooo tasty. Not sure what I want it to look like though. I like the chocolate mint, hope they let you have that as a wedding cake.

As for themes and dresses go I’m not sure, I’m not even sure what sort of cerimony I want being as I’m not overly religious. I do know I want it to be fun and comfortable for every, casual I guess but where you don’t feel out of place dressed up or down. Dress wise I just know I hate trains.

Macchan – End vague planning

The voodoo brush

Macchan — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 03:59:55 +0000

I managed to find a boar bristle brush, surprisingly it was only a few dollars at Walmart. Anyways there shouldn’t be any nylon in it and it is pretty simple with a wooden handle. Its kinda weird looking actually with the roots and all… been calling it a voodoo brush.^^ Here’s a crappy picture of it.

Next time I go up to moms I think she’s gonna take me to get my hair cut at a place that specializes in long hair. They don’t like cutting hair but figured we’d run my plan by them to see if they’ll help. If nothing else they can give some hair care tips and a nice trim. Guess they have a special technique that gets rid of split ends without sacrificing a lot of length.

Macchan – End ramble hair ramble.

So lazy… someone smack me.

Sometimes I’m not sure what I should do to occupie my free time… most the time actually. All the other times I don’t think I ever have any free time and make lists of the things I could do if I did. Whenever I do get some though there is always something keeping me from doing anything… aaah… if only I weren’t such a hopeless procrastinator.

In any case let me think here, what could I be doing right now besides typing a post that would be more productive? I could be working on my doll plans, experimenting with making hollow sculpey balls, drawing, sewing, putting a wardrobe together, cleaning dishes, cleaning room, exercising… and I think I’m out of ideas now. I’ve already done way to much eating.

Now I will think up excuses why I can’t do any of those useful things. So lame yes I know. Dishes to cold, wardrobe to heavy to move and noise will wake up baby. Sewing will wake up baby, sculpey balls is not interesting, cleaning room may wake up baby and I need to wardrobe to put things in. Exercising, ate to much and my tummy hurts and I’m rather sleepy. Drawing, not interesting right now and same with doll plans… mainly though that I can’t find my eraser. Where oh where did you go my lovely?!ToT

Macchan – End disgustingly large sum of lazy bastardry.

Color scheme… maybe.

Macchan — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 06:16:37 +0000

Alrighty, I think I got a color scheme worked out if I ever actually get a doll shop online.^^ Hehehe, yea I’ll probably just make the layout that way I can be one step closer to actually having it.

Yep, very green indeed. Not sure if I will stick with it, after all I am very fickle when it comes to color schemes. Anyways any comments or suggestiong would be wonderful, keep in mind that these colors are intended to be used for a online store.

Macchan – End color picking.

Inkscape

Macchan — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 05:31:15 +0000

Until I have Illustrator working again I am using a free vector program called Inkscape. I don’t care for it nearly as much but so far it seems to be getting the job done. Just have a lot of getting used to do with it… I was just getting the hang of Illustrator too. Ah well, when I finish something I’ll probably post it to show off… maybe. I might not though too.

Anyways I have a lot of work to do if I’m ever gonna make this messing with vectors pay off. Later.

Macchan – End completely useless ramble.

Ginger Caramels?

Macchan — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 11:16:30 +0000

I just found a recipe on a random blog I came across for ginger caramels that sounds really tasty… probably becuase I really really love caramels. So I think sometime or another I’m gonna try and make this and see if I like it. Here’s the recipe for anyone else that would like to see and try it out.

Ginger Caramel Recipe!

If anyone has ever tried this or whatnot let me know how it turned out.^^ Or if you have a different caramel recipe I’d really like to hear it. Food is so tasty.

Macchan – End drooling.

Hardest thing to deal with…

Macchan — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 10:07:25 +0000

I’ll probably come up with something harder to deal with later on but right now this is what seems to be the most trying when dealing with Nel. Putting her to sleep in her own bed. Right now it seems completely impossible. She wont go to sleep unless she is eating and laying down next to me. And if you so much as even breathe on her she will wake up so moving her afterwards is out of the question.

I have heard that a way to deal with such attachment issues and such is to basically just leave them there crying until they finally learn that crying doesn’t instantly bring mommy and that they need to sleep or whatever there on thier own. I think it said that 30min is a good time period. I’ve attempted a few times to do this but can’t last the whole 30min yet. Actually trying as I’m typing this… maybe typing will distract me.^^;

Anyways I may type another post here in a little bit to keep from picking her up. I know I’m not even supposed to be in the same room when I do this but her crib is in the same room as my bed so… yea… basically I can’t bring myself to leave her alone in the room where I can’t see her yet.u_u; Anyways wish me luck all, I’ll post how it turns out either if she falls asleep on her own or tomarrow or something.

Macchan – End frantically passing time.

To make or not to make?

Macchan — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 19:31:42 +0000

I just realized that I never posted the my first AMV that I made a while ago so I figured I might as well. So you all know I love comments be they bad or good. I’ve been thinking about maybe making another video but I’m not sure what with… perhaps that could keep me occupied until my comp is fixed so that it can run Illustrator.

I should probably upload this again sometimr that way it doesn’t have so many black bars.

Macchan – End old v-spam.
