Blog Happy :)

So this past week I've been working on Voodoo Envy, as well as my InuYasha Manga/Anime site.  I am really happy with the results on both.  There are a few bugs still on Voodoo Envy, but over all I am really happy with the look and content. It's been a work in progress on and off for many years... but finally it's starting to look like what I had envisioned.  I have also purchased the .net and .org domains for Voodoo Envy to go along the .com, so that is also good. Voodoo Envy is officially mine!  I gotta work on a logo, but that's pretty much last on my list.

Another project that I have been working on is my InuYasha site.  I have many plans for the site, it's my 'other baby'.  Right now, I am working on a Fan Fiction/Fan Art extension of my House of Inu domain.  It's giving me a bit of trouble, but I am confident that I will be able to make it workout.  I am also working on creating a social networking community for House of Inu where everyone can post and talk about InuYasha in general, complete with personal blog, extended profiles, private messaging, friends, groups, wires (similar to Facebook's wall), status updates, albums, even forums!.  It is a daunting task for just one person, and on top of everything, I still have to upload content on the InuYasha Manga Scanlation site.  But I'm making it work.

I couldn't give a time frame of when everything will be up and running.  I am thinking that the Inu Social Network would be up and running first.  As for the fan fiction/fan art site, that is a bit more complicated, and considering that I am learning how to do most of these things on my, it could take a while, but I am confident in my skills and the help that others have shown.  These projects are all for entertainment purposes only, and are funded by me and no one else.

Well, I gotta get going now... I got a little toddler just STARVING for attention now...

Ahh... such is life.

Rain, rain, go away!

Ugh! Some times I just hate the rain... and the cold. And other days I simply fall in love all over again.

To Maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity

Is it sad that I have done a few of these myself?  I think I qualify for insanity :D



Enjoy!

1. At Lunch Time, Sit In Your Parked Car With Sunglasses on and point a Hair Dryer At Passing Cars. See If They Slow Down.

2. Page Yourself Over The Intercom. Don't DisguiseYour Voice!

3. Every Time Someone Asks You To Do Something, Ask If They Want Fries With That.

4. Put Decaf In The Coffee Maker For Three Weeks . Once Everyone Has Gotten Over Their Caffeine Addictions, Switch to Espresso.

5. In The Memo Field Of All Your Checks, Write ' For Marijuana'

6. Skip Down The Hall Rather Than Walk And See How Many Looks You Get.

7. Order A Diet Water Whenever You Go Out To Eat, With A Serious Face.

8. Specify That Your Drive-through Order Is 'To Go'.

9. Sing Along At The Opera.

10. Five Days In Advance, Tell Your Friends You Can't Attend Their Party Because You Have A Headache.

11. When The Money Comes Out The ATM, Scream 'I Won! I Won!'

12. When Leaving the Zoo, Start Running Towards The Parking Lot, Yelling 'Run For Your Lives! They're Loose!'

13. Tell Your Children Over Dinner, 'Due To The Economy, We Are Going To Have To Let One Of You Go.'

And The Final Way To Keep A Healthy Level Of Insanity

14. PICK UP A BOX OF CONDOMS AT THE PHARMACY, GO TO THE COUNTER AND ASK WHERE THE FITTING ROOM IS.

So Now That I'm A Blonde...

My hair requires extra... EXTRA care. I remember the first time I had it bleached, it totally freaked out on me. It was a sad, sad day. BUT! Thanks to my super-duper-cool hair stylist, we were able to repair the damage. Now my hair is healthy again!

Yay!

I can run my fingers through it, and it feels silky soft -grins- It's still very short (I cut it over the summer because, hello! California is always super hot in the summer), but I'm thinking about letting it grow out again. My husband want's me to dye it black once again, but bleh, what's the fun in black? Although, I do look kinda hot with black hair (JK).

If anything, I'll make it fun, maybe red, maybe low lights, maybe something totally crazy. I don't know yet.

Well, as for the reason for this post... for those of you girlies (and guy...ies?) out there who have had horrible experiences with bleach and refues to take the balding route, here's a few things you can do to repair your hair:

In A Mood...

I want to be remembered as the girl who always smiles even when her heart is broken, and the one who could always brighten up your day even if she couldn’t brighten up her own…

<3

On Work...

I'm usually the one who is all into work. A work-a-holic of sorts. But things have been so busy lately that I just don't wanna be here.

Really. Really.

It's sad. I got so much shit I need to get done and not enough hours in the day to finish it. I'm gonna really get cracking soon, and work some OT to get caught up. I don't wanna be behind when the new years comes around. I wanna be on top of everything.

I guess 'that' will be my pre-new-year's-resolution...resolution:

Finish all the outstanding crap sitting on my desk and update all the shit that needs to be updated before the end of the year.

Meh.

Dinner With The Family

Here's the little one munching on some fries at Claim Jumper. Yum!

 

'Tis HOT!

For those of you in the Los Angeles area, it's a HOT one today.  A scorching 95 degrees.  To many of you, that may be nothing, heck, here in California that's nothing, but for some reason, it feels like it's WAY more than that.

I'm glad that I'm in a building with AC... I'm already dreading going home just for that reason (no AC there) and I know it sounds a bit bipolar-ish, cuz all I've been ranting since this morning is how much I wish I were home.  But heck.  Once the temperature started to rise, being at work didn't suck as much.

Go figure...

:P

I Am an iPhone Apps Addict... Are you?

So finally today, I sat down and thought about my trusty 'ol iPhone and how much of a true addict I really am.  I'll admit.  I'm pretty much ADD when it comes to shiny new things, but the iPhone has my full attention....... and my wallet's.

It gets the lates accessories (more than I can say for my own), and I have downloaded some of the coolest apps (and these are NOT free either!)  It's pretty much my lifeline and it's pretty much how I access everything now-a-days.

My friends usually ask me: "Why do you always text message me.  Why can't you call me like a normal person."  Yeah, see? That's just it.  I am not a normal person.  Anyone who spends $39.99 on an application just because they want to try it out cuz the screenshot looks cool has got to be crazy. 

My husband is going down the same path, and I have even 'turned' a few of my friends onto the iPhone.  Some are still living vicariously through me and will soon be hopping in to the iPhone wagon.

You can bet your marbles that when the next Generation iPhone decides to make it's debut, I will be in line to get one (just like I was in line when the Original iPhone came out, and when the 3G iPhone came out). 

Hopefully, Apple decides to do it in two years, right around the time my 2 year contract expires.  Everything will be right as rain if they decide to do it then.

These were the ramblings of one crazy as girl... Or just Jessie will be ok.

Chapter 2: I Am Lost, So I Am Cruel

Summary: Naraku is finally defeated... but at what cost? The price they paid for victory was more than they bargained for. Was it worth it? [Inu/Kag]

Author's Note: Wow... it has been a long time since I have updated this story. I'd like to apologize to you all for the lack in updates, but as always, life gets in the way. But I have not forgotten this story and I will continue with it.  When I originally posted this chapter, I was really... really unhappy with it.  I didn't like the way it had flowed, and I didn't like the way I had written the parts for Sesshomaru.  So I went and changed a few things.  Added a few things.  Jazzed it up a bit.

I'm happy with the way the chapter turned out.  Really happy.  Chapter 3 is already half-written, so hopefully it will be up and running soon.

I am still looking for a beta, and if anyone is interested enough, feel free to contact me. Any suggestions, questions, flames, etc. are appreciated. Oh! And before I forget, thank you everyone who has reviewed up to this point. I truly appreciate it.

InuYasha Manga Scanlations

I was finally able to update my InuYasha Manga Scanlations site.  It had been a long while since I had made and update there.

The site is still under construction, as I am trying to fix some broken links and bugs, also I've been trying to get post some content in the forums, but I just don' thave much time to make some considerable updates on there.  I guess it will just take some time.

I'm still trying to get back on schedule with the scan updates and I have to do some minor revisions to the gallery, maybe add some ligthbox/thickbox effect to make the viewing much smoother and simpler.  We shall see, everything is still in the works.  I'm pretty good with coding and html and what not, but I'm not a genious, so when I get stumped it usually takes me forever to figure things out.

I'm hoping that the site takes off and more and more people come to check it out.  I guess only time will tell if that will happen.

In the mean time though, I'll just keep on posting the scans and hope people enjoy it as much as I do :P

Blueberry girl

Here's a picture of the munchkin after eating some blueberries.

My husband thought it would be a great idea if he gave her the berries to calm her down a bit while we drove back home. I don't think he learned the lesson back when he thought giving her a yogurt in the car would be a good idea as well.

Daniel... the Fallen Angel

For those of you who aren't aware... I'm in the process of writing a novel.  I'm not going to say much about it, other than the main character, Daniel is a fallen angel.  I did request a commission from the fabulous Kristin Berg, and she did an amazing job...
