Bah. They’re cancelling Enterprise.

Jeffrey Combs better be in the next series too. He’s hot, and always plays his characters really well. I love(d) Weyoun and Shran.

“every once and awhile”

–> every once in a while

Wiarton Willie apparently disagrees with Phil today.
Phil saw his shadow, and Willie didn’t.

Willie even goes so far as to write a poem about it:

SPRING IS HERE!!!!!
Willie’s shadow did not appear
Which means springtime is almost here
The time of year when flowers grow
When we finally see the end of snow

Put away your shovel, mitts and hat
Bring out the barbeque, ball and bat
Plant your bulbs and wash the car
Stay out late and count the stars

Get your umbrella and rain boots ready
Fly a kite. Hold it nice and steady
Take a walk along the shore
Don’t forget your springtime chores

And the next time you’re in town
Don’t forget to tour around
And thank our little groundhog friend
For bringing winter to an end.

He’s come a long way from his crime-ridden youth.

It was pretty nice out today. Sunny.
I wonder if Willie will see his shadow tomorrow.
Now I want to watch Groundhog Day.

Made fajitas for dinner. Yummy.

So sleepy. Not enough sleep for days.***************I’ve made the “you must click continue” part of the order process more obvious. Apparently I got 3 “orders”, but no confirmation emails because it seems no one clicked continue after paying to get back to KC to confirm the order.

If any of you did actually click through and got the checkout_success page at KC after paying with paypal, please let me know. Could be another error.

Does anyone know how to make colours in hex “lighter”? I don’t.

I use this site and this site to get hex codes. the second one is great because it colour-schemes them, and it does have a “lighten” feature, but it lightens too much. One click of the lighten button makes E4EAFC look white.

E4EAFC is the colour of the boxes, but it looks too dark as the background. Things “blend in” too much.

In other news, I’m not sure what to do about my “characters” hats. They are what people most request for new hats, and currently match “critter” hats in terms of sales.
On the other hand, I’m pretty sure the fact that I make money from selling them pushes them out of the realm of “fanart” and more into “copyright infringment”. o_0
Continue selling hats that look like and are named after characters?
Use names like “White MoonCat” instead of “Artemis from Sailor Moon” and be reduced to cheap knock-off status?
Scrap the line entirely?

Blah.

I’m inclined to keep going, since the whole cosplay “industry” is based on making things that look like specific characters, and from what people say most Japanese companies don’t mind it because it’s still publicity, but that doesn’t make it any more “right”.

I was all set to go get my ears pierced again this week. I was going to have the helices (cartilage) of my ears done, so I can put little hoops there. Because I want to.

Then I realised that it’s winter, and I cram a hat on my head every day, which is not terribly conductive to not touching the holes to let them heal. Especially as cartilage piercings apparently take 2-6 months to heal instead of the “regular” 6 weeks or so for lobe piercings.

So blah.

OMGWTFBBQ?!
The woman once known as “Jane Roe” has asked the Supreme Court to overturn its landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion 32 years ago.

My stance:

Please let me know what the site looks like now. This may require a refresh ^_~

Unregistered users should see a default site like the image I post yesterday. Registered users should also see that layout, and should not have the ability to switch layouts.
Is this currently correct?
(And in case you’re wondering, yes, the banner is just a placeholder until I have time to make something good)

What does this site look like to you? I thought I’d set the default layout how I wanted it, but I viewed my site here at Josh’s place this weekend, and it was set to some other layout. 😛
It’s supposed to look like this. If you have an account and it gives you the option to select a layout, please let me know. It’s not supposed to, but if it does please set it to “Clean”.
If you don’t have an account, please post if it looks different for you than the screenshot I post above.

Not that my layout is anything amazing yet, as the layout of my journal is kinda low down on my priorities list, but this is the layout I’ll be tweaking when I do have time to work on it, and I’d like everyone to be on the same page, so to speak.

Not much to report.Back at school now. It’s not so bad, but I’m still in a physics class (the second half the the one I took last semester). At least Calculus is gone forever. Bwahaha!
I’ll post my schedule as soon as I’m sure it’s not going to change on me. ^_^

Besides trying to sell things on eBay, I’ve mostly been making hats whenever I can grab a few minutes to spare. I’m trying to build up a small stock pile of bases (hats without the ears) at least, so I’ll have some on hand when I can finally advertise the new site.Speaking of which, kittycaps.ca is on track, and should be ready for launch at the end of January (I hope).

I’ve made some new hat styles in the past two days. One isn’t so much a new “style”, as a current style in a new colour of fleece. Oh well.
No LJ-cut here, so you guys get links.

Unifinished Panda Hat

I think the Lain one is the most adorable hat ever. ^_^ The beige around the nose isn’t really that lumpy, that’s just how the fabric is folding :/
The panda’s not quite finished – those eye patched are not actually sewn on yet, and it’ll have little eyes on the black, and maybe a little nose like the Lain one, too.
