For anyone that checks for updates from me, I've actually moved most of my stuff over to Dreamwidth, although I don't use my personal journal (ellana) a great deal.
My iconing/scans journal and some of my RP journals were also moved over there.
I just realized I haven't updated in a long time, either. So. In short we recently got a kitten who is very spoiled and (mostly) hydrophilic. Her name's Tess; she's a calico. So far having her has been one adventure after another.
There isn't too much else of particular note, although I am thinking about picking up writing again - fanfiction, for now, until my OC stuff starts forming itself a bit better. I had some betweenquel/sequel/AU ideas for ToA, but they're all very involved and intimidating and I'm not sure who would read them, so I'm starting off writing a Frings/Cecille fic. I've been gathering together the sidequest scripts and other canon info I can find for a good while, and seeing as there aren't many stories about them - why not?
Also I became a brony.
That's all.

According to the Santa letters going in this newspaper, the 3DS (or DS in one form or another) seems to be winning by a landslide.
...I feel bad for the parents of the kid who asked for a million bucks in addition to three gaming systems and a number of other items.

I need hugs.
It turns out Jake's condition was worse than we thought... He had fluid in and around his lungs as a result of some sort of heart disease. He's always had a heart murmur and they think it actually worsened... They said there was no cure and we could try to draw some of the fluid out (means he would have spent a miserable weekend at the emergency clinic), or... we could have him euthanized. That it might help temporarily but we'd likely be right back where we were, that he seemed to be suffering...
And that if it was their cat, they'd have him put down. So we decided that instead of prolonging his death and stressing him out with a trip to the clinic, since there was no hope... In short we gave him the consent to do it. And we're going to have him cremated. And neither of us (me and dad) could bear to see him one more time and my heart is just breaking and the tears won't stop and this reminds me of when I had to make the same call when Bubbles got sick and I hate it. And it's just so.
Rest in peace, Jake.

This house is going to drive me nuts.
So like a week ago we took Jake (our cat) in to have his teeth cleaned, and he was very unhappy and indignant about that but he was doing fairly okay until a few days later when he started yanking his hair out - something he's never really done before. The vet said it was probably stress or maybe his ears were bugging him (they cleaned them too when he got his teeth worked on), so they gave him a shot to hopefully calm him down a little and make his ears stop itching.
So then Jake was a little mopey, but not too much, but now he's gotten REALLY mopey and hasn't been eating much. Jake is ruled by food, so this is a pretty clear sign he's not feeling so hot. Mom calls the vet and he tells her to keep an eye on him and if he doesn't get better in a few days to bring him in.
So now both of my parents are worried about the cat, and mom keeps likening it to when Peppermint got sick. But there is one GLARING difference. Peppermint had feline leukemia. He was also the runt, He only lived for two years, the last few months of which we fed him with a syringe. But Jake passed his senior screening with flying colors and has always been healthy aside from some trouble with his ears getting dirty. So dad's acting all tsundere and jerkish and worried and mom's feeling all guilty and helpless and worried. (Because she took him to get his teeth cleaned even though she was on the fence about it and dad didn't want her to and "now look what's happened".) And I'm worried to some extent but up until recently have not been too largely concerned about the whole thing.
Now? I'm at the point where I'm mentally unsuring and wondering to myself if maybe there actually was something to my thinking Jake felt like he'd lost a little weight. But the thing that gets to me most is the fact that mom's nearly teared up twice tonight over the cat (I'm not so heartless that I'm unaffected by my mom crying...) and she KEEPS COMPARING IT TO PEPPER. Mom please quit being paranoid or else you're going to make yourself feel even worse. Jake is not Pepper. We're all keeping an eye on him and if things don't get better, we'll take him back to the vet...

What in the world...?!
It was perfectly fine (except for some Sheridan!fanservice) up until the final two volumes and then it did a complete 180 turn and I think my brain just exploded.
It. just. exploded.
This manga is now a complete and total AU...! Shounen-style.
...And also Legretta is 85% naked. You need to know this.

Sat here contemplating ducking under my workdesk and instead watched the picture frame on the wall rattle for about a minute...
Knew exactly what it was when it started and kept going for more than ten seconds, still kind of in mild shock like "What... seriously...?" This is the second earthquake I've ever felt and the longer/bigger of the two.
They said it was a 5.8 to 5.9 centered in Mineral, VA closer to Richmond/D.C./Charlottesville, felt as far as NYC and NC. No significant damage reported. Cellphones downish. That's all.

To those it may concern:
I've found some free webhosting and am in the process of reuploading my Tokyo Mew Mew fansite as it was in 2008/2009/2010. I am making ABSOLUTELY NO PROMISES about any new content, but I may fix up some loose ends if I'm inclined to do so at a later date. (We'll see what happens.)
I had started uploading pages to livejournal, but that was just way too tedious, and this host actually allows FTP/PHP so it's just a matter of drag-and-dropping all the content from a folder on my laptop onto the site server.
I'll post the link as soon as the site's presentable.
That's it. Thanks!

DUN DUN DUN DUN...! TAT
Stress is awful I want to die. Protip: Don't ever procrastinate. Not even about printing a list.
...And I still have to get my art there. And go to the reception. And stuff. But otherwise I'm done.
