Prep Time

Prepping plush for this weekend. I’m apparently going to have a bit of free time tomorrow =;w;= and I had some today so yay! Lugia is definitely getting DONE this weekend. So status updates for people:

Lugia: 95% [all the pieces are done]
Aron: 70% [I need to make 8 more pieces, but the body is put together.]
Giratina: 85% [I need to make 5 more pieces and everything made is assembled.]
Mini Lileep: 15% [Just need time on this one since I only worked on it for a half hour.]
Mini Joltik: 90% [All the pieces are done I think, just need to put em together.]

Anything else I have not started yet, but will take the supplies to work on them. I will be focusing on those main five first though! I’ve been working on some of them for a long time and it’s high time I get them done. >( *bring it!* *rawr face*

So I modded my business card design and finally got something down that I like and can read! xD Now as you may remember, my printer gave me a hell of a time with printing sheets of business cards; I wasted a lot of ink, paper, and business cards. So I was crocheting and thinking about it, [still very angry that I couldn’t get it to print right >T], and thought, I wonder if I can do one card at a time?

So I edited the file some to be just an outline of the business card for a print test. Where it printed on the sheet, I put 5 pieces of double sided tape on one of the business cards and stuck it on there. Printed the file and re-fed the page that had been marked and the result was perfect =;w;=

Now, I did print an entire sheet of 10 cards, but my printer sure gave me hell/jammed a LOT as you all can see. It’s old and fickle, so you just kinda have to fuss with it to get it to do what you want when you need to print an image :T Despite me having to take it apart like 50 times to get the jammed paper out, my printer sure was a trooper and printed all 10 of the cards on the one sheet :’D

I feel so accomplished that I have 10 cards at LEAST for when I go out and take one of my plush with me =;w;= Lately, it’s been Pabu xD;; He stays on my shoulder pretty okay when I take him out, but sometimes I just put him in my purse cause he takes a dive off my shoulder to the dirty floor of whatever store I happen to be in :’D Anyways, yay business cards! >3 WIN!

Facebook Has Shares? WHY?! xDD

“All that hype for a 23-cent gain! Facebook’s (FB) first day as a publicly traded company started with a bang and ended in a wimper. FB shares opened on the Nasdaq at 11:30am et, after a 30-minute delay, at $42 each; 11% higher from the IPO price of $38. Within 10 minutes, that gain was cut in half and stock hovered around $40 for most of its shortened trading day, before officially closing at $38.23.”

Well no shit! The commentary from some people on the subject was just priceless. If you want to buy stock in something reliable, pick agriculture, or something that’s more likely to stay in business unlike facebook hahahaha.

Some awesome quotes from anonymous people:

“They need to rename the company FacePlant.”
“It’s more like wastebook”
“FaceBook’s true value: About 10 Farmville tractors. Other than that, noise and wasted time.”
“PROTIP: an overblown forum IS NOT A COMMODITY. People with money arent going to invest in a site that caters to 50% abandoned accounts, 25% bots, 15% 17 year olds posting stupid shyte, and 10% music groups using it as a free ad to link to their own website.”
“All I can say is ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hahahah.”
“Facebook is going to CRUMBLE. I deleted my page over a year ago, and I know many others have done the same.”
“day traders made a killing on this stock. This stock was like an elevator throughout the day.”

Everyone knows it’s going down it seems. If that’s not a sign of instability, I dunno what is xD I just can’t stop laughing at this. [Even though I never watch stocks or anything, I’m not an idiot; Facebook’s future will likely plummet to the nonexistence of mysapce. Toooooo Baaaaad. LOL!]

Garlic Shrimp Linguine :3 It’s a diet meal I made for mr. steve ;D It turned out pretty spiffy although I thought it was a bit rich…but maybe that’s cause I had a candy bar before I ate it? xDD;; I also had it with a very plain salad that consists of lettuce, green beans, carrots, and lite vidalia onion dressing. It’s supposed to be 270 calories and makes enough for four servings. I add a little bit of flare to it in my own way, but not enough so that it gains carbs ;)

So, this is my update for my girabeast! He’s nearly done and most of the pieces are attached. I need to make just 5 more pieces and attach them, then pull strings through, and I’ll totally be done after god knows how long ago I started this project xDD;;

As for improvement though, it looks pretty darn spifftastic. Giratina was the 6th pokemon I made. So getting a chance to redo the shiny version to see how much i’ve improved is jarring xD but I did make some definite changes for the best with this version of giratina.
1. I used different sized hooks vs. just an H hook
2. I made the wormy arms more incosistant
3. Wormy arms are not stuffed so to make room for wire and light weightness
4. Stripes were added as individual pieces
5. Eyes were made more detailed with B hook
6. Different patterns for top head piece and silver side pieces.

So all in all, the pattern is very revamped, and I’m quite pleased with the turn out so far =0w0=

So I finally got some more work done on Lugia =;w;= I added the pipe cleaners so that the wings could be flexible. It took 4 pipe cleaners to sort of support the wings because they turned out to be so heavy  since the wings were essentially 6 pieces. :T I didn’t attach the thumbs yet, just kinda stuck them under the wings where you can get a clear view that they exist lol. I think I’m gonna do a little more work on this tonight and then start my mini commissions. I’m so tired but there’s so much I want to crochet like RIGHT NOW! xDD I want to finish Pabu, Giratina, Lugia, and Aron. Maybe if I’m lucky/super dedicated, I can get them all done this weekend? [Yeah right, till life comes and slaps me in the face saying, ‘NO!’ :’D ]
