Hey, fenkashi, you ever see anything like that at the Stampedes???



I know that cows are a form of deer and the old longhorns could jump quite well, but they were a good deal skinnier than this crittur... lol
=======================================

speaking of wildlife, found a copy of this creature crawling on my arm a couple of hours ago... rather startling, I must say. I don't recall ever seeing one before, but I've now read that they are in the S/W USA...

A Redback Jumping Spider... (phiddippus johnsoni)

doubling on purpose, I didn't want this post to interfere with FFF Birthday wishes...

==========================================

You've maybe heard of a BI-cycle built for two, so how about a UNI-cycle built for two...



HEY! FFF!!! Just the thing for you and a classmate to get around on the campus at your new UNI....

'To ride a UNI with my roomie
At the UNI, don't you see-e-e-e,
That could be so much fun for we-e-e-e-e!!!'


(add musical notes as appropriate)...

Please, no applause...

Haha Husky. Cow jumping is a new one for the Stampede xD. And the bike xD That seems like an exercise in balance.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FFF ^^ I have a feeling we missed Roar's bday though =/ (nvm, it's next week!)

This reminds me of when I taught my own kids gun safety and use...



This girl looks to be about 8 or 9 maybe and looks like she has been shooting for awhile. She has good form and stance. I started my kids when they were about six. I did this for their own protection, expecially if they saw another kid with a gun. Get away, leave the bldg or area and tell an adult... They had no curiousity about guns through their own experiences and knew better than to try and take one away from someone.

My only disagreement is their attire for traveling on ATV's in the brush... shorts and swimsuits????

It is hard to tell what caliber gun she is firing. It could be a bull-barreled .22 or even a 9mm, hard to say...

BIGBANG's newest. ;D

I like some indie bands too, but their CDs are typically no longer for sale after a certain time or are out of my price range.

I got some yukata today. By some I mean that an extra came too. O_O

Long awaited, but here it is!




I have no idea which of my products this was a tie-up with, though I'm guessing it's the Kokuriko CD.

Oh cool, Cal. I heard about some of their songs being played in Australia. I wish ours would permit foreign music, but I'm pretty sure the rules here are the songs must be English (or French).

And nice, Roar! I've come to realize a number of my official Ghibli and Totoro products are really hard to find online or that I've never seen others of them, such as my Totoro fan, draw-string bag or rounded kids' wallet. :/ Or my pencil case. Actually, just about everything. Even my Kiki pencil case. Nuttin'. Most were bought from Asian stores though. I still wish we had the cute little shop that sold all things Totoro.

Well, maybe I could make than my ambition someday, to maybe rent out a spot for a couple years and sell that sort of stuff. Make a cafe. I know a number of places where that sort of place would be a hit. For now, my ambition is ESL teaching (I want to teach in Thailand at some point too badly, but I will need my student loans paid off and will have to look into how much my income would be there so that it's not too low for when I'd move back). But I want to own my own little business or businesses someday.

Fun!

You know, I'd be living in Australia now if my mom had decided to move there to teach. XD It was something she considered for a long time. Now she's reaching retirement. My cousins lived there for three months a few years back. My mom also has friends there, and the man with the local meat shop is Australian.

I think my boyfriend misses a lot of the Asian shows he watched. D: I mean, he can see them online, but he kinda feels silly since he likes the girlier ones. XD He's always complaining how he has to appear masculine to westerners about being accepted. It's amusing..

Anyhow, sick, so I was listening to some various J-Rock earlier.

My youngest stayed home (sick) from school today. I told her she could pick out something to watch. So after breakfast she desided to put on Howls Moving Castle, then Kiki, then Whisper of the Heart, Totoro and Spirited Away...We had a Ghibli marathon Fun day!

Ugh. Looking at the "newest submitted" art on DeviantART really does make me angry sometimes.

SO. MUCH. THEFT.

Bloody hell. Stupid kids taking anime screencaps from Google Images and being all "look wot i drew!!1". No. Pick up a pencil or get off this site.

One of the last dA pages without theft... and it's mine.

(Just screencaps and other randoms, nothing massive to-date.)

But seriously, Art Theft and horrendous re-colors are my two major bugaboos with the site. I mean, I'm more than willing to fave artwork some arbitrary critic would deem "horrendous" because they actually MADE A LEGITIMATE, ORIGINAL EFFORT!

As for legit art, expect some of my notebook sketches, digital art, my own photography, etc.

-Just my two bits-

God, I know.

And when you call them out on it they get all pissy and make the earth's stupidest excuses and uuuuurgh. I just report them. Report them all.
