Mat just gave me the best definition of Phiones ever.

BRB now loling forever

pokemon's new opening theme - instrumental version! sounds really cool.... please have jun this time! he shows up every three months, come on pokemon anime. jun jun jun jun. too early for brains maybe, but there's always the palmer not in shadow and the rest in shadow option, like when we had one brain all early in hoenn but not the rest. not expecting it tho, so it'll be a nice thing to scream over if it did happen.

Happy holidays! Etc! ヽ(°∀°)ﾉ

At around 6pm EST tonight I'm gonna be doing an opening of 7 sealed retsudens from advanced 7. A super rare set that contains Misdreavus, who I'll be hoping for XD

Hopefully everyone can tune in :3 I will be selling off the extras next week

i've discovered the root of all the world's problems.

it's furry drama.



(if you take this entry dead seriously, you're probably a furry who makes drama a lot, so you'll only bring the cycle full circle!)

So, I thought my pan sticker sale that I made last month had ALL of the pan stickers I had that I wanted to sell.

Then today while doing a little organizing, I found another huge bag full of them. @_@

So, before I go through the mess of sorting them and taking a few dozen pictures again, are there any that you guys are looking for in particular?

From a brief look-through, I think most are DP, and there are some third gen in there.

i just got a DX arceus pokedoll.

so this week/end has been ballstastic for sure, with plenty of whining and whimpering from me over all my various little bad lucks, culminating in the only ATMs (seven bank) i ever use suddenly no longer taking mastercard without warning, not to mention most foreigners visiting japan also use those ATMs and now mastercard holders no longer can. for no reason. and no, i can't use post office ATM anymore either since they cut off relations with my bank. so not i have no way to take cash out at all unless i travel 30 minutes into tokyo and wait 10 minutes for an elevator to take me to the highest floor of a building then wait 10 more minutes to go down...

so i just can't take money out anymore. and yeah i have a japanese bank account, but all my work is done in USD and with my USA bank, so there is nothing i can do. unless 7/11 and mastercard or postal savings and citadel bank can kiss and make up and have sloppy make up sex, i can't take money out. so i will have to take out enough for a month at the citibank in tokyo and just use it wisely. or something. or try to hook a visa/american express up to my bank account. and no i can't switch banks. i have like 15 years of life savings in three different layers in that bank. it'd be a disaster.

anyway. so yeah. that was the final straw. i decided to do my pokemon center run today instead of tomorrow just to have one less thing to worry about. and i'm glad i did it! now i can relax tomorrow and pack up some big fat gyarados.


but to fix the ballsness, people have been sending me things (I DON'T DESERVE), including christmas cards from almiraswolf, lyrrin and raichu_saana (saana's joins ones from years past on my fridge), packages of goodies and christmas cards from killerjaw, carolinasuikun, my parents and grandmother, and then today, a gigantic, 41$ just to ship package arrived from ritzy, full of enough sweets and snacks to last over a month and financed by *takes a deep breath* ritzyfox mamoswine keysan rikufied phoenixxfoxx trainer_irene techno4tomcats norkia audreypuppy and shiny_vulpix. i don't even think i've ever done anything for like most of any of these people and yet here they are. then of course amazingly beautiful gift arts from techno4tomcats and halclouds.

and right now bon is out getting ingredients to make me dinner tonight.

seriously... buyer drama? mastercard? i don't even remember what all my issues have been anymore. you guys are the best. i don't know why i feel alone sometimes because i don't know many people in japan. it's ridiculous - and you are all the best friends ever. seriously. thank you.

I need to sketch more :V I usually like these things more than finished pieces.

Wow, Aledon found me these: the first two episodes of Yatterman in Japanese with English subtitles :o
I'm not too impressed by the subtitles/word choices. Yatter Wan = Yatter One? IDK maybe I'm just a purist. But still, YEAH for someone finally subbing this. Hopefully they'll keep it up to the 108th episode (watch them stop at like episode 5. IT'S ALWAYS LIKE THAT).
I wonder if there's a way to contact the subbing group...


An even rarer find: Itadakiman full series, in raw.
I haven't watched this series yet so I'm VERY excited. In the meanwhile I thought I'd share!

Not sure on which one looks better.


I'm draaaained! X_x

To the people these are for: please let me know if you need the high resolution version or a version with/without the Pokémon Center logo! I kind of lost track of who wanted what X_x

Dear Irene, 12 days ≠ one week.

On a more positive note though, you've been quite productive today and managed to make a week worth of things in just one day. Congrats!


Still not done though! I've got to finish the Pokédoll icons to post on Poke_arts later, but these are much more relaxing than the things I've worked on today. Ah, and in between things I also made profiteroles 8D hopefully they taste as good as they look. I'll know tomorrow!

"Sure, I'll rearrange the presents."

I have damned myself for a week because of this sentence. This willful communication where I admit that I am willing to help the room to be more cosmetically pleasing. Mainly because we wrap stuff in the room with the tree, and when the package is finished we just plop it at the base of the tree and let it be. The breakables we sit down gently - and then we throw shit down on top of it as well. So it's a mess. Why am I telling you this?

Because about halfway in I came across this:

WHY IS GUY ON THIS PACKAGE? WHY IS HE WITH HAL'S NIECE AND NEPHEW? HOW IS THIS RELEVANT? ARGH, THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR NOT REALLY BEING CURIOUS ABOUT PRESENTS UNTIL IT'S TIME TO OPEN THEM ISN'T IT? GOD DAMN YOU, godsavethequim. GOD. DAMN. YOU.

Never have I ever been so curious and I want to cheat and nnnnn I feel like I'm five is it Christmas yet?

I'm betting the picture has nothing to do with the gift, and this is revenge for the string and duct tape wrapped present from last year. My god, she's a genius. It took me three hours to wrap that thing, and she's done something so terrible in, like, five minutes. Stop working smarter. WORK HARDER.

Also, IT'S SNOWING. :DDD It kind of freaks me out because the house is always so much warmer while it blankets. My only regret is that don't have any shitty gloves. Damn my love for nice leather gloves that will NEVER TOUCH A SNOWBALL. >/

Here is most of my current electric pokemon plush!  Tomy Gizamimi pichu, Raikou pokedoll, Jolteon canvas and pokedoll, and Minun DX pokedoll! I have more, but I don't feel like digging them out! XD 




Tiny hasbro plusle and minun figures (on uxie MC figure for size!

how many more packages from october/november are going to never arrive.

it's a fun game! how many more complaints and IMs and emails am i going to get that shit never turned up from a month ago?

like i can even do anything about it? i did the work. i sent the stuff on time. what am i supposed to do except keep dishing out refunds for things i paid for and shipped on time. just throwing money out the window because the post office can't fucking get shit to its destination anymore.


every single time i start to have a good day this week a million things are guareteed to bring it crashing back down again. and the THIRD person today to contact me about "where is my package" is the final straw.

why don't i just fucking ... i don't know. die. something emo. pick one.

sorry one more! half wanting to show off this icon, half just WTF'ing at:

a short story that I don't want to forget


( Color Flares )

I will not make any 'he's so hot' puns. Swear. Mainly since I yelled them all in the car on the way home.
I swear to god if you count this as a spoiler I'll fucking punch you. It's on the cover fer chrissake and I am tired and cranky so stuff it.

( Green Lantern Corps #43 self-wank. )

♠ Speaking of GLC and pictures - I've got a new userinfo up, and only after the fact did I realize that I stole the setup from the ever so lovely elongated. So, uhm, if you want me to take it down or if you want credit just say so bb. I think it's pretty fabulous, but I feel like an ass for inadvertently crimping your style. Like I said, just say the word, bird. ♥

♠ More namedropping, but I just want to send a big thank you out to crazyace86 & elongated for the Christmas cards! I got them both today, and now they've taken residence up on my wall.

♣ I dislike parents who just assume I'm cool with watching their kids. I HATE parents who just assume that's okay to stick their sticky little children in my end of the house because they saw me with comic books and toys. No, it's not okay. You wanna pay me for that? Let me ebay that shit for you. I HATE. I came home this evening and the older ladies from my grandmother's church were visiting, and I make it to the threshold between my end of the house and theirs when the call comes down.

"Bratleigh and Sprogleigh are in there tee hee! They really like your tree! I hope you don't mind if they got some of your toys down."

I. They. WHAT?!

There was fear on Dot's face as I rained down hellfire by bodily dragging them out of my respective workroom and bedroom. I was. Fucking. Pissed. I was screaming mad about how I was disrespected and it was complete bullshit that they couldn't babysit their own fucking kids and if one of them had swallowed Kilowog and died it would have been my fault blahblahblah.

And so, after I had turned the air a suitable shade of blue and turned to leave - the little shits start telling their grandmummies about how I have 'funnies with bad words like she said' and pictures of naked people!' (One of them had the Hellblazer TPB about John and the sadist ex-boyfriend who was in love with him that took place mostly in a sex club. Ironically, the ex
was feeding children to tigers. I want to feed those terrors to tigers.) The lady just sat there with muted horror on her face before turning to me in a accusatory manner, to which I just sent Roxy after the book itself.

By the time she got back they'd gathered up shop and left, leaving poor Dot to try to pick up the pieces. People pull this shit on her all the time because she's old and frail and she likes to please. I know for a fact she didn't tell them that they could put their kiddies back there - and I know that she couldn't stop them. So my beef really isn't with her. I just can't wait until the church shows up here for caroling.

♠ It's 9:30pm and it's the latest I've been up all week. I feel so old. :/
