Rio

It’s been a while since I’ve written a proper post, but I’ve been really busy with personal things, work, and looking for a new apartment. My roommate and I found a new place, so now we’re in the process of packing and getting ready to move in August. After everything settles down, I’ll start posting more. I have a lot that I’ve wanted to talk about, but I’ll save it for later. Until then, meet the new kitty, Rio!

Rio

She’s a bouncing ball of energy! My roommate adopted her from a rescue group last month and it only took her about a day to claim the house and everyone in it as hers. Phantom was very quick to warm up to her and since then he’s treated her like his child. She’s the first cat he’s really gotten along with.

Rio & PhantomThere’s a massive size difference between these two.

Omi, however, took a bit longer to accept her, but now he’s fine with her. He’s 12 years old this year, so we knew it’d probably take him longer. He’s not fond of change, so he’s going to really dislike us when the time comes for us to relocate him to the new place.

Anyway, that’s all for now. I leave you with a cute, sleeping Rio. Just look at that grin!

Two more days..

Two more days! Then I can whine about having to wait a week between episodes..haha.

Anyway…Happy April!

It’s finally starting to feel like spring around here. It seems like it’s going to be a rainy month, but I’d rather have rain than snow and ice. Also, I’m looking forward to seeing the sakura trees around here in bloom again. Once they are, expect to see many pictures of them!

Florida & Updates

Epcot, 2014

I’m a little late writing about my visit to Florida, but better late than never. Florida was Florida. I’m never all that thrilled to go there, but seeing my family and my friend was nice. Epcot was fun and made better by the fact that we were there during their flower celebration, so there were a lot of cute topiary in the shapes of characters, which you can see in my photography section. Yes! I managed to put them up in a timely manner and not a year after I took them! Hah! I also added last year’s trip photos. I’ll work on getting the photos a bit more organized at some point when I have more time.

Site-wise, I also added a sales section for band goods that need to find new homes so that they’re not just collecting dust on my shelf. I had had them on my tumblr, but tumblr is kind of hard to keep nicely organized. This way, I can keep up with sales much better and not have to go back and repost things.

I also added a few more sections, but they’re still being worked on, so nothing is really there at the moment. Of course, I’ll update when there is though.

Off to bed with me! Good Night!

Enter March

"I'm watching you, Minion. Now, get up and feed me."

“I’m watching you, Minion. Now, get up and feed me.”

 
March felt like it snuck up on me, much like my cat in the morning, only it was nice enough not to pounce on me with 14 lbs. of weight. However, it brought a load of snow with it, so I’m not very happy with it yet. Once it brings me Spring all will be forgiven.

Even if it’s still cold here in Missouri, I’ll have a break from it next week. My roommate and I will be heading down to Florida to visit my family and a friend, so I’m hoping the weather will be nice while Katie and I are there. I know it’ll be a lot warmer, but Florida tends to be a little too rainy when I visit. Instead of Disney World, since we went there last year (twice even, but two different countries), we’ll be going to Epcot, so I’m looking forward to that! I haven’t been there in over 10 years if I remember right. I’ll be sure to take and post my trip photos! Maybe even in a timely manner.

Warmth?

It seems like we finally have a break from the cold weather! It felt nice yesterday and, even though it’s raining today, it’s still warm, so I’m not complaining. However, it wont last because another cold front is coming through, so it’s going to get cold and snowy again. Spring needs to get here faster.

I give those around me permission to smack me if I ever start complaining about the heat when we get into Summer.

February

This is why I can’t get any work done.

So hello, February! January seemed long, but also like it went by fast somehow. This month is supposed to be colder than last month, so here’s hoping it wont be too much cooler. Everyone, stay safe and warm!

I have a lot of personal goals to get through this month, so I might not post as much as I did last month. I’m still studying for the HiSET and hopefully I’ll be able to sign up for Spring classes at our local community college. Aside from that, I have a lot of crafting to do for my shop and for my friends. That might take longer than I’d like due to it being so cold and clay being harder to work with in cooler months, but I’m determined to get them done! I’ll post the results as I finish them.

Back to work I go and if you’re caught up in snow like I am, stay safe!

Disappointed

Another memory from last year. Every time we get a chance to go see NIN, depending on my view, I try to film at least one video for memory’s sake. Of course, with their live shows, it’s hard to pick out which one to aim for because all of them are pretty amazing with the visuals.  Luckily for me, this one happened to be one of my favourites from the set, so I’m glad I had my camera ready!

Disney Birds

Another one of my photos from my visit to Disney last April. This one is one of my favourites from that trip. Why? Just look at that bird! haha

o0750100012602633726

Again, as I mentioned in previous entries, there were very many birds around Disney that day that didn’t seem to mind people being close to them, which made for good photo opportunities. This one was a pretty big one too, though not the biggest we saw that day. No, that title goes to this one –

I didn’t catch it when it had it’s wings out like I wanted, but this one came out good enough. Such a pretty bird! This one was out to get everyone’s churros, somewhat aggressively so. I kept a good distance from it because of that, haha.

More to come later!

Snow Again..

BegYUwdCMAE4vy6.jpg large

Woke up to the sound of shovels outside of my bedroom window yesterday. More snow! Again, I want to skip the rest of winter, even spring, to get to the warmer weather of summer. I would just skip to spring, but spring here tends to be up and down with the temperature, so that’s just not good enough.

Honestly, I don’t mind snow or very cold weather until I have to go out in it, haha. I used to go out in it to look for good photo spots, but even that I’m not fond of doing anymore because it’s just too cold.

Here’s hoping this stuff melts faster.
