The types of craft included will be knitting, knotting, cross-stitching and papercraft... But as in the next 10 years I'm planning to give a try to the crochet and the sewing, maybe, MAYBE someday stuff like this will show up.
. But really, I'll be doing this slowly. And besides, if I wanna do something and can't fill it in any category, I'll still be doing it.
So, let's get it started! ~29.06.2009~

Current wips

1) LOTR scarf. That's what I'm currently knitting, as I mentioned in my previous post. The Fair Island lines were kinda hard for me to make and I'm not absolutely happy with them. Other than them, I really love it, and love working on it. I even think the stitches are pretty neat (for me). I'm just afraid I'll run out of grey soon. The first ball of yarn has almost ended already, and I knitted only about 40 cm. So I'll maybe add white in the middle... hope it won't look too bad.. the problem is I took the last 2 balls of that grey yarn from the magasine, if I remember correctly. And on the lable, there is almost no info at all and this pisses me off >.<
2) As for the cross-stitching, this one is finished. It was hard to stitch... only because I was afraid all the time that I'll run out of red thread. And it was really old tread, I had it from my great granma... those string I ususally use to make bracelets. But when I started this project, this red was the inly one I had at the moment so I strted with it. And as I didin't know the brand (that probably doesn't exist anymore) it'd be very difficult to find the very same colour... even though it's just red... I hardly made it actually. Now I'm totally out if red. And today, when I went shopping, I forgot to buy >.<

Some impossible goals to achieve

As the titles says, some impssible goals to achieve... that include enumration... and a hedgehog. The goals do not include the hedgehog though, but it's present in this post ;P

  • to watch 50 movies for an year (started april) - 9/50 anime doesn't count, but cartoon and western animation do . Rewatchings count
  • to read 100 books (started march) - 22/100 manga doesn't count. Rereadings do
  • to listen 10 000 tracks on last.fm (till april 2010) -3389
  • to have 2500 pageviews on DA (till February) - 1118
  • to make 2 months of anime watching on AP (till the end of 2009) - 1 month 2 days now
  • to finish the craft challenge (no timeline) 3/50/100
I count all of those clearly impossible. Actually I though the book's one was closest to achieve, cause I do like reading (more than watching movies - that's why the book's goal is 100 and the movie's - 50). But they say setting higher goals helps you. Yeah sure, I just don't know where to stop and it was probably again 3 am when I wrote those goals first (like it is now).

And here's the hedgehog! We saw him today when we went to Beglik Tash

Now I wanna have a pet hedghog ^^ this doesn't include counting, but is clearly impsooble too. Btw he ran very fast! At first he walked very slowly so we could make the pictures - for a moment the hedgie even stood without moving and only his nose was shivering. After the photo session ended, it ran away - I could never suppose that a creature with legs this short can run so fast!

Today (after coming home) I worked on the lotr tube scarf. I'm putting him as an entry for the craft challenge too. I knitted during 3 episodes of xxxHolic and half of the movie Johnny and the Dead. It's very pleasurable knitting this, because it's just a tube and I can knit without stopping, especially now, when I passed the first 2 Fair Island lines (they were pain in the *** to be honest). But now my fingers hurt and I can't continue typing >.<

The Dawn of the AniManga

The year 2009 shall be remembered as the one, when the brightly coloured anime sun rised at the massmedia. I think all of the fans should celebrate the fact that we now have a bg manga magazine, anime magazine and the first manga volumes has come out too.



Е, естествено, както винаги ги има и недоволниците. Относно тях моето лично, скромно съветче е "Don't like, don't bother with it!" Иначе жива и здрава да е опозицията!
Аз никога не съм успявала да вляза наъъплон в кожата на персонажа на вечно недоволен и търсещ кусури, и като такава съм абсолютно щастлива от появата на бял свят на тези две издания - Shogun и Animania. На мен лично ми харесва стил, с който са написани статиите, а благодарение на ревютата най-сетне се натутках да изгледам Ouran High School Host Club, което бе представено за моя изненада (приятна, много) още в първия брой ^^ И сега единствено съжалявам, че анимето свърши твърде бързо, като се засмях от първия епизод и този РОФЛ продължи до последния. Мога да кажа, че заслугата, че в момента гледам Code Geass отново е на Анимания, защото Люлю е изтипосан на корицатан а трети брой, който още не излязъл. Още няколко души се обясниха в любов към това аниме пред мене и това ме накара да се впусна да гледам аниме, чието име до последно не знаех как да произнеса. Добре де, честно казано, все още имам затруднения - Лелуч или Рурушу? Но мисля, че Люлю е добър компромис :) Единственият удар, който ми нанесе Анимания, бе (не, не беше Лиско, който подронваше основите на здравото ми съзнание още от първата страница на втори брой), а - да, ест - анемичните ръчички стиснали ябълката. Макар че както казах, за мен корицата си остава най-доброто от тази книга. Особено японската корица... ммм да, беше добра.
Така че накратко за себе си мога да определя Animania като катализатор, който ме кара да извадя от Want to watch листа си някои заглавия на анимета, да ги избърша от прахта и най-накрая да ги изгледам.
Относно Shogun - от 5 предложени манга заглавия, на мен ми допаднаха 2, което според мен си е съвсем в реда на нещата. Аз се зарибих по Vairocana и B.B.Project. И което най-много ме изкефи, бе, че доколкото разбрах, тези манги на практика се сериализират само в товя списание - и във френския му еквивалент. Някои хора се оплакват от затъването в мейнстрийма - е тук той напълно отсъства :D Мен си ме радва мисълта, че си купувам и чета манга, която не мога да дръпна просто така от нета. И че чета история, за която нищо не знам. Защото, честно казано, ако трябва да преживея още веднъж перипетиите на Наруто.... мне май ще пропусна.
А мангите на Джудит Парк - ем, да, сюжетът не блести, а на Любовният квадрат на места нишката на здравия разум я позагубвах. Но стилът на рисуване ми харесва, така че това ми предлага най-вече eye candy и простата радост че държа книжка с картинки в ръка. Все пак се надявам да държа така и да се радвам и на Дистопия. Тя си е една от първите ми манга любови все пак.
И като се подредят мангите на Шогуна се получава картинкааа!!! *total happiness*
So I'm happy and life is easier
