Is it madness?

I spent much of today playing Dishonored, my Christmas present, but I did do some other stuffs. One thing I did was take a few pictures of the ghouls with my Christmas tree. :3


This is pretty...

( More Christmas tree pictures with more ghouls! )

Saya is better scaled for this tree, but I wanted to take some pictures with my MH dolls too. :3

I also played the Christmas headhunter pack for Borderlands 2 with Scottie, which is awesome! Happy Mercenary Day! xD

Also, I watched the Farewell to Matt Smith and the Time of the Doctor. I'm so sad to see Eleven go, but it wasn't as sad as other regenerations. I enjoyed the episode quite a bit, though it did feel a bit rushed. I had all sorts of feels, starting with the farewell special. They showed Ten's regeneration a couple of times, which always gives me feels, then they showed Amy and Rory's exit, which also gives me feels, and Scottie was like "They're lubing your tear ducts" which was true. And that was all before the actual episode!

I did like the entrance of Capaldi. I am still very much not happy with losing my Doctor, but I am interested in what Twelve will be like.

So that was my Christmas! I hope that everyone had a wonderful day. :3

So on Thursday when I was walking home I was tweeting that it was cold, that the cold was making my eyes water, and the tears were freezing because it was so cold. And that it was making it hard for me to read my twitter feed, because I have priorities. Of course, halfway into my walk the cold drained my phone's battery so I couldn't keep looking at twitter anyway, but that's beside the point. xD

When I got home, Scottie had a cup of hot chocolate ready for me, which was really sweet! I'm not sure if he'd seen my tweet or if he just knew I'd be cold, but he's just awesome.
He'd also gotten out our little Christmas tree and set it up! He wanted to surprise me. :D The tree still needed to be trimmed because he knows that I like to do that, but it was so sweet of him to do!

Last night I decided to do what I've been meaning to do since I got Saya (my Elfdoll Soah), to do a photoshoot of her decorating our tree! It seems like the perfect thing because it's a really good size.


Where do I put this?


Hmmm...

( The rest of the tree trimming pictures )


All finished!

I wish I had a slightly more interesting background, like what I do with my Monster High dolls, but erm she's just a touch (or quite a bit more than a touch at 60 cm) larger than a Monster High. lol

Sorry I haven't been posting guys! I haven't been feeling all that well.

I took some pictures yesterday at the office, we have a little tree there that I thought might be cute to take pictures of the ghouls with.


Where should I put this?

( How shall we decorate the tree? )

Today was the day of an holiday charity event called the Dough Run. My office is divided into five sections (Wildlife, Commercial Fisheries, Subsistence Fisheries, Admin, and erm something else) and each section had a little bake sale type thing going on. At each station if you spend at least $1 you get a sealed envelope with a playing card inside. At the end of the Dough Run you bring your sealed cards to a room and the people (not sure how many?) with the highest hand win a prize. And if you don't, well, you have a bunch of bakery. All proceeds from the event go to local charities (which they listed on their flyer). How can you go wrong?

What a fangtastic bunch of treats!

I ate some of this stuff today at work lol. I also didn't eat breakfast or lunch (not that I usually eat much of anything, but ya'know) so it wasn't as bad as it could have been for calorie insanity.

More things to say but it is late so time for bed!

You know you want one

Ok, so I was going to include a bunch of pictures but I decided to make that into it's own post because the comments are going to be screened on this entry (so your address will be safe!).

[Poll #1947528]

I wasn't sure if brony was unisex or if it was only for bros. It looks like it is unisex?

Also, I've never made a poll before! If you are in one of these fandoms, I might do something special in the card related to it. (I mentioned those specifically because they're near and dear to my little Loki'd heart)

I was waiting for payday before I could send out cards, but I really had meant to put this post up earlier. I just realized how far in the month it is holy kau how did it get so far into December isn't it November still??

Please excuse me, I've had a migraine all day and I'm mostly awake because of caffiene so I'm sort of just flailing around like a gnat with ADD.

PLZ REQUEST CARDS

Also, if I missed a cards post of yours let me know! I like getting cards. n_n' Or if you don't have my address and want to send me something but you don't have a post, let me know and I can send a pm. :3

To everyone celebrating Thanksgiving today, Happy Thanksgiving! If your outside of the US, I hope that you still had a lovely Thors-day.
Scottie has been cooking a turky and has other foods in mind for sides. Still not dinnertime though! I'm going to call my sister in a little bit to wish her a Happy Thanksgiving too. I hope she's having a good day. :3

I decided to take a walk this afternoon since the sun was out, and I brought Venus and Abbey along to take pictures with! I would have taken more pictures, except that the cold drained my batteries quickly and so they died. Luckily the batteries only died near the end of my walk, so I didn't really lose many picture taking opportunities. I thought it might be a problem though because it was so cold.

I think this is my most favorite picture of all the ones I took during my walk. :3

See, there are still green things even in the snow!
Well yes...

( One more wreath picture )

There were some neat, very large ornaments hanging on the eaves of a doctors office. I took a picture of one and I'm reflected in it, so it was an unintentional self portrait. It's sort of neat. xD
I'm bundled up in a lot of layers. Scottie says I should wear a jacket that I'm not swimming in but I can put so many layers under this one ehehehe xD
( Picture of me, sort of )

Then I continued my walk! I went on a walk to where I was taking grad student courses. That's in the opposite direction from work so I don't head that way terribly often, but I really like the trail between the school and the library.
( Picture of a snowy creek on the way )
I was amused because at one point when I was walking I saw two moose, but they were too far away to take pictures of and by the time I was there they were gone. Which I very much prefer to the other times when I'm like "CRAP there is a moose in my path please don't trample me".

Then I got to the trail and took more pictures of the ghouls!

All the snow...

( A couple more of Abbey and Venus in the snow )
In the middle of taking pictures near this lake (not that you can tell really) is when the batteries died.

This will be the first Thanksgiving (and soon, my birthday) that I won't feel obligated to call my mother. Which is actually a good thing, because I inevitably just ended up stressed out while talking to her.

It’s not that I don’t enjoy our little chats. It’s just that... I don’t.

The last couple of days I've been working on the torsos. I've now got all of them up to the level of my muscular man base torso! I was going to make 2 girls and 2 guys in this grouping, but I realized that for one of the guys I really needed to make a different core and base. So I'm still going to do it but I'm going to do that later. My new plan is to make three females and one male, different poses and different characters.

( My progress so far! )

I have defined all of the muscles, I need to do some smoothing and tweeking, then start working on defining the back muscules. Then of course, I need to make the females look feminine and make the muscular man more muscular. hehe

While I was sculpting Scottie surprised me with a cup of apple cider to make things feel more festive! I found that cinnamon sticks make awesome flavor straws. :3
( Picture of Scottie's surprise! )

I hope that everyone has a lovely day tomorrow, no matter what you celebrate! :D

I've been meaning to do this all month, and today I realised how far into December it's gotten. o_O

If anyone would like a card from me for Christmas, leave a comment here! I'll leave comments as screened so your address won't be public. If you want to send a card in return just let me know and I'll pm you my address. n_n

I'm going to start sending out cards sometime this week, but there's plenty of time to comment if you'd like a card! :3


Shamelessly including puppies to catch your interest. hehe

Well, I love Christmas. Scottie doesn't celebrate, but at least he didn't mind too much when I put some lights up.

I've been reading customers_suck though lately, and I am very glad that I'm not working anywhere near people during this time period. Especially retail. Why is it that people wait until a couple weeks before Christmas to buy the ZOMG hot item of the season? Especially things like the Wii, which still are hard to come by on a normal day? I bought most Christmas presents in the summer. Before I worked in retail even I started my Christmas shopping usually in the summer. Heck, I'd start Christmas shopping right after Christmas. Why wait? It just makes things so much more stressful, and I like having my holidays to be happy, not stressful times. :P
