What I really meant to say...

I just remembered I never posted my new AMV over here. I keep forgetting to upload it to my website and the Org, so it's only on YouTube at the moment, but ta-dah. This is the one I entered in the contest at Anime Festival Orlando. A basic one, no bells and whistles... but I like it. Too little too late, really, but this was one of those cases where I'd wanted to make the video for years and didn't have all the source material I needed until recently.

Never meant to be so cold.

Posting mostly to keep my hand in, since there isn't a whole lot of interest going on. I still have to make awards for the WIP category of the UFOs, so all my spare time and creative mindpower is still devoted to that. Makes for some boring LJ entries.

My birthday was quiet, but good. My sister brought home an ice cream cake from Cold Stone in the early afternoon and we shared it with my visiting friends before they headed home. In the evening, my dad and his fiancee took me out for a nice dinner and gave me a book about crime-solving sheep. I also got a v-gift here on LJ from vayleen, to go with the noisemaker she gave me last year. <3

I'm still reading Fruits Basket. I'm up to volume 6, I believe. There was a Funimation sale on RightStuf, so I put in a preorder for Ouran, which I was inspired to give another try thanks to a great AMV at Anime Boston this year. I also picked up Samurai 7, and... um... something... um, else. Um. Midori Days. Which is, um. Different. Yeah. >.> When I first heard of it, I thought What the hell?? But the title kept popping up, and I finally asked some people about it, and all I got were rave reviews about how surprisingly great it was. So I figured, what the heck. We'll see.

Finally, sache was selling her Kaleido Star box sets, so I picked those up from her as well. I know there's at least one person on my flist who will be excited to hear that. ;)

I'll be at work all weekend, so hopefully I can finish up the 2007 UFOs then. I'm really looking forward to being done with these so I can work on other things, which include but are not limited to the following really urgent tasks:

• New default theme for dotmoon.net.


• Various little feature additions for .moon.


• A major update for moonromance.net.


• Finish mechaboydos's AMV.

And somewhere in there, write something Argh, the .moon Autumn Challenge. Oh, also, I got bit by the art bug that flutters in my window every few months... and this time it's painting, of all things. I may even finish this time! haha. I've only done the background so far, but ( it's a start )

Methinks the white section is too wide. Too late now, though.

It just hit me that in addition to the above I should not only update my personal website, but give it a complete overhaul... whee.
