snapdragon76: this is made of win and awesome (Amon -- smexy)
I got a bit of a late start this morning. I was wicked tired most of the day yesterday, so I went to bed early. I didn't have my brain party, so it was good. However, mom still needed me to take her to work. I thought to myself, "I'm not really going anywhere today except to my aunt's, and she just lives a block away, so I can walk there." So I let my mom borrow my car today. Tomorrow I'm taking it back, though. I'm trying not to feel anxious about the fact that she has it, and I'm doing good so far.

I put up the testimonials yesterday, so if you want to have a look, just go into my userinfo and scroll down a bit. I have new headers, so it should be easy to spot. If you haven't added one and still want to, you can. Just leave a comment.

I was able to finish my Mikami bg last night. I had to think on how I wanted to finish it up, but then I decided on perhaps a distressed look, like a worn book. I think I was able to do a decent job. I had to put it on ImageShack because Photobucket shrank it.



I think it looks pretty good. I'm not going to change my layout as of yet, but when I do, it'll probably be this one. The default userpic I'll use will probably be Mr. Death.

I was distracted this morning by reading about a series called "Victorian Romance Emma" I believe. There's character cameos in 'And Shine Heave Now' so Erin linked to a site about it. It looks kinda cute.

I don't know how long I'll be at my aunts. If not too long, I'd still like to work on some icons I've been meaning to. I guess we'll see.

Trivia of the day: The game of a cats’ cradle – two players alternately strength a looped string over their fingers to produce different designs – has been around since about 1760.

I had to wake up early in order to take mom into work. Normally I'd still feel a bit annoyed, but this morning was hampered by the fact I didn't sleep well last night. I went to bed at about 11:30 last night, which is early for me. I sailed off to sleep fine, but then around 2:30, my brain decided it's had enough sleep and wakes up. Of course, I have to wake up along with it. So the majority of the night, I'm trying to tell my brain to put a sock in it when all it wants to do is party. Ya-hoo.

This month's Red Tide® is pretty light actually. It came on Monday and now at Wednesday it's tapered off for the most part. So I'm happy about that!!

I want to thank everyone for their testimonials they gave! I shall definitely be adding them soon, like perhaps today! If you haven't yet, and still want to add your own testimonial, go here.

The lady from the apartments called us over the weekend. Mom finally was able to get ahold of her Monday and she said that a two bedroom one bath was opening up. She asked us if we still wanted a two bedroom two bath and we said yes. Space-wise, that's just the best option for us. She said that the rent has been raised to between $805 to $815 a month. When mom told me I was like O_o WTF!! I know inflation is a factor, but it couldn't have been that bad in the course of a few months. We did see in the paper a house 3 bdrm, 2 bath) that was in a neighboring area for $775 a month (with a pool). I told mom she needed to call them!

I didn't get to work on as many icons yesterday as I wanted to. I did make one from the lil' skeleton guy from the inside of 'Death Note' 4, and he turned out pretty cute. I named him Mr. Death. I might trot him out for around Halloween. Also, I'm working on a new background/wallpaper. This one'll have Mikami on it. Not that I still don't adore Takumi! I mean, he's scrumptious, but Mikami is pretty hot too, even though he is a member of Light's Death Squad. So I've enjoyed fondling playing with him a bit. I don't think I'll change things right away, though.


And, according to ANN, Viz has acquired the rights to Watsuki-sensei's (manga-ka of 'Rurouni Kenshin') newest series, 'Buso Renkin' to be released starting in August. I think I'm gonna check it out.

And I broke down and watched the final episode of FMA on YouTube. I just knew I couldn't wait until Saturday. I mean, I'll still watch it on Saturday, but I'm not so anxious now. And I have links to the movie as well if I want to watch it sometime...

Today I plan on stopping by the bookstore to see what they have in. That's pretty much my big agenda for the day. I'll have to see if anything else comes up.


Trivia of the day: Before Wally "Famous" Amos became a well-known cookie mogul in the 1970s and 1980s, he worked for a time as a William Morris talent agent.
