Past Site Updates
01-07-2009
Another random sporadic update! *sigh*
Yeah, I know that last time I updated I had promised a new layout. I didn't lie, as I was actually working on one at that time. Unfortunately, Life got in the way and decided to muck those plans up completely. Being unemployed for 6 months can do that to you. ;-;
I've been trying to keep myself busy and finding a new job and all. At current I'm doing the whole moving schpeel again, and on top of that I'm working for METROCON with all the behind-the-scenes stuff and organization, so unfortunately the last thing on my mind has been updating here. T_T
One day I will be able to have the layout I want with everything functional and on a new server with no stupid ads inside the frames. One day. Until then? ...*sigh*....
06-05-2008
Random sporadic update! >.> *cough* Yeah. I'm not neglecting this place, I swear; I'm actually seriously working on a new layout scheme. Yes. Again. >.> And I promise that this time when I launch the new layout everything will be updated as it should be. And functional. And possibly, just possibly, everything will be located on paid site service as well- so no more stupid ads! Yay! *sigh* Still plotting that one.
Anywho, I've been busy with life stuffs. Just moved (again) and dealing with all that related stress, as well as a few other things. Plus my weekends are once more devoted to METROCON and the Anime Human Chess Match 2008 as I am once more a castmember and this time in the role of Kuchiki Rukia. So... free time? What free time? x_x
In the mean time, I've tried updating CosplayLab and Cosplay.com a bit here and there (when I've remembered to) to at least keep something updated. Oh. And LJ. (Which most of you who visit this site ...actually, scratch that. Most people who visit this site probably do read my LJ anyway. Lol. For those who don't..sorry. But I update that (obviously) much more often than here, and for that I apologize. ;-; But I'm working on things!)
And once more my birthday is around the corner. ._.; Scary. What's also scary is the realization that I've been out of college for over a year and half already. Man time flies....
...wow. So much for a short update. >.>; *hops off and back to IRL stuffs...*
03-11-2008
o____o; Ouch. It's 2008. >.> It's been over a year since I last updated here? Damn.
*cough* Anyways, I'm here to say that the Cosplay page had a bit of an update, as well as the "About Me" section. ...that's about all I got. >.> I've been..stressed, a lot lately, and busy every so often. I keep wanting to update but at the same time I don't because I'm plotting another new layout. ^^; Who knows when that'll get done. First I need to work out some other kinks in my life, as well as get more stuff done IRL on the millions of projects I've left half-way complete around my house. ._.;; *sigh*
Anywho. Happy 2008? >.>; Lol.
02-26-07
Wow. 2007. And I never made an update about it. >.> Oops. Tells how long it's been since I've had something to really update about. *sigh* Well, I'm here now to say that the Links page was updated. I'm also going to take this moment to vent about how much I hate the CJB.net ad thing that hovers on my page and won't go away. -.- I have either that or Yahell's damn ads. I can't win until I get paid site service... *sigh*
Oh, also, Cosplay.com and CosplayLab.com accounts had a bit of an update. I added a new costume and updated the % completion on a couple. ^_^ I'm also happy to announce that my LCM costume, Seramyu Sailor Saturn, is complete! Wee! ^___^
Add on:: I updated the Cosplay page. ^^
12-23-06
It's almost Christmas and I haven't really updated much, aside from putting new pics up on Cosplay.com for my Ayame costume. I still need to do a lot of work on this site, I know, but I haven't been feeling overly inspired the last couple of months. =T (My creative muse went on early vacation a few weeks ago, too, which hasn't helped.) Otherwise, I was busy with school in my final semester. Yes, final. I am now a college graduate, mwahaha! XD Heh.
Anywho, Happy Holidays!
10-16-06
I think I'm finished with listing all the drawings I've done. Now all I have to do is decide how I want to link them... ^^; Also, the anti-right click script was removed from the Links page so that people can actually save my banners to link to me. ^^;;;; oops.... Lol.
10-05-06
New pictures of my pirate costume were added, so the link was changed. Also, two new costumes added to "Cosplay Wishlist".
10-03-06
~~ (10:49am)
Oops. Links within the Cosplay page were fixed. ^^;
~~ (10:33am)
v3.0 is now open. ^_^ Enjoy. Lots of things are going to be worked on in the near (and later) future, so make sure you keep an eye out for new updates. And those of you on LJ will know when I update.. ^^;
~~ (2:20am) ((*date message was written*))
I was busy this weekend, so I didn't get the things done on the site that I wanted to do. =T Ah well. Last night I started a bit of work on the Drawings page, and earlier tonight I did a little more. I put up a couple of links for drawings (check the ones listed in 2004, 2005, and 2006) just as a test to see how well that works out. So far I'm not too happy, so I'm not going to finish all the others. I'll be doing some tweeking and playing around to see what I can come up with that I like..
09-29-06
~~ (4:27am) ((*date message was written*))
I have added 3 new banners to the Link page for people to use to link to me. ^_^ I also fixed a couple of links that were wrong in there (oops..). This layout is ready to go live as soon as I'm ready! ...because I don't know what I'm doing being awake at 4:30am. T_T I think before this goes officially live, I'll tweak a couple pages a bit more, but otherwise, I'm just about ready for it. ^_^
...sadly enough, I've already started plotting what v4 might be like. x_x; Also, I started writing the history of this site..I keep forgetting how old it really is (since 2000, I think...). o.o; Anyways...sleeeeeeeeeep.. @_@
09-28-06
~~ (5:45pm) ((*date message was written*))
This is it. I've gotten as much as I can do, and I've been putting this off long enough. I'm preparing this layout to go live- I've already taken the step of replacing the index page with the construction page, so within a couple of days I plan to have this new one up and running. ^_^ Exciting stuff! Mwaha. ( Yeah yeah...about time, I know... ^^;; )
~~ (4:33pm) ((*date message was written*))
I did a lot of updating between the last message and now, actually. (Well, I also slept and went to class. XD Lol.) A couple of links have been removed (Con Pics, most of the Props pages, Star Wars costume pages), lots of new links were added (a lot of profiles uploaded and linked in the Roleplay section, and a couple new costume links), and broken links were fixed. I got a lot done on my list of things to do, but I still have a lot to go (like....getting the Drawings page finished... x-x ). Layout should be ready to go live soon, though, despite the work still to be done.
~~ (12:50am) ((*date message was written*))
Okay, so I'm putting off doing some homework... what else is new? Lol. Anyways, I'm happy to announce that hey, I fixed up the rotating symbols and they (sort of) work in Firefox/Safari now! ^^! Heh. Until you put your mouse on the link, if you approach the place where the symbols change on mouseover, they do actually stop and the moon shifts to be darker (like it's supposed to!). Use that moment to locate the location links. ^^; I also fixed the scripting so that now you'll know when you've found a link because it'll give you a message after a second of hovering to tell you where the link goes. ^_^ I feel so proud now... Lol.
09-27-06 ((*date message was written*))
Hum, did a little bit of work. I updated the Links page with a new banner and changed the layout a bit. Also edited a couple of links. Then I updated the About Me page. On the Cosplay page, I updated/changed some links and finished the layout restructuring of some old pages.
..however, I'm considering taking down some of those pages in an effort to save bandwidth. Pages that will more than likely be effected are the Con Pics and also Props pages.
I still have a lot more work to finish before I feel comfortable enough in making this layout live...
08-15-06 ((*date message was written*))
Well, updated the About Me page a little bit. (3:30pm) Also updated the Cosplay page to include Mars' retirement date. I'm happy to announce that while Yasumicon 2006 was the last I wore Mars, I did win a Costume Contest award for it. ^_^ A new costume was moved on the Cosplay list as well. Saya was bumped up from the Wishlist. *grin*
Star Wars Weekends 2003 pics' pages and editorials were fixed up and the link put back up. I will probably continue to work on those pages to further fix them up, but do it uh..... >.> later. A lot later. XD Lol.
More pages were finished (10:33pm)! Mostly effecting the Cosplay page, since links were there originally. The pages finished, at least for the moment in the conversion to the new layout, are the MegaCon pics pages, Jedi Sionna Trekina, Belt & Comlink, and Huntress Blaster pages. More still to come, so stay tuned! ^_^
8-12-06
~~ (2:48am) ((*date message was written*))
Drawings page has been edited. New format for the listing has been done, adding the dates for when it was drawn and when it was colored (if applicable) next to the name.
~~ (2:14am) ((*date message was written*))
No, I don't know why I'm up this late doing this. x-x Today was my last day of work so I can get ready to go back to Orlando. Also, this weekend is Yasumicon, so I was working on trying to get a new cosplay together. *shrug* And so....the Cosplay page got a little updated with moving some costumes around and adding dates and whatnot. Also, some other links got edited out from the Map page.
I've updated the About Me page with more useless crap that no one wanted to know about me, too. =P Enjoy.
08-09-06 ((*date message was written*))
Old picture-page links on the Cosplay page have been taken down until further notice. Please see the note on that page.
08-01-06 ((*date message was written*))
Hm. Really need to work on this "don't forget about things" ...thing. >.>; *cough* Okay so, no, I haven't worked on the site much in the last couple of months. I've actually been pretty busy. Not long after the last update was Metrocon, and I've been working part time ever since. Plus trying to work on bits and pieces of other cosplays, etc. ^^; And AFO was this past weekend.
Other things have distracted me from working on the site. My 16-year-old furbaby, Mocha (my cat), passed away. My 21st birthday was 6 days later. And then on July 7 Pirates of the Caribbean 2 came out and I was working on a pirate costume for it. ^^; Now I'm starting to get ready to go back to school for my final semester as an undergrad. It's scary... o.o;
Anyways, I did actually do an update. I added a little to the About Me page, updated the Cosplay and Drawings pages a bit, and um...that's about all. Lol. The drawings will be linked as soon as I figure out how I want to do it, and the cosplay info & pic pages have been taken down until further notice ...for the same reason.
05-20-06
~~ (1:57am) ((*date message was written*))
And a couple hours later, I'm updating again. I worked on a couple more pages and added things into the "RPG" page and finally wrote out the "About Me" page. There is still more work to do, but I gotta go sleep so I can get up in the morning to go to breakfast with Mom. *yawn*
~~ (12:15am) ((*date message was written*))
*note to self: stop starting projects without finishing them.
*sigh* This was a very busy semester, and I'm not talking academically only. You'll notice the big gap here in updates. Well, I wasn't doing nothing, I worked up until the end of February on getting the drawings pages reformatted and such, and so all previous individual drawing pages have all been completely rewritten as mini commentary pages only. The drawings themselves will be linked up later when I've figured out exactly how I want to link them. I only get so much bandwidth to work with from GeoCities, so I have to try not to waste it. =/
Of course, busy-ness was due to not only classes becoming stressful at times, but family issues. My father went in and out of the hospital 3 times in the span of 3 months, once due to a collapsed lung. His April visit was his last. He passed away on April 15, 2006. Since then I've finished the semester and been working (or at least trying to) around the house. Working on completing this website and making it live has been pretty far from my mind.
Anyways, there is still more to be done and to link, but I'll slowly finish it up. Soon, preferably. *sigh* Oh, and of course in less than a month (like..3 weeks) I turn 21. Scary. o.o;;
01-28-06 ((*date message was written*))
Okay, so you'll notice the complete difference that exists in terms of the menu this time. For those of you who are using just about any browser that isn't Internet Explorer, you'll notice that the planetary symbols around the moon continuously spin. Well.. they're not supposed to. In fact, when you point your cursor over of the moon, the symbols are supposed to stop spinning, and then their positions mark the locations of the menu links to get to different parts of the site.
Unfortunately, my code doesn't seem to want to work in any browser except IE. ;-; Sorry guys. So if you don't feel like looking for the poor image map links, you can simply click on the moon itself to be taken to the site map page and click the links from there. Again, I apologize. *sigh*
At any rate, last time I went with having my chibi Kit drawing to establish my "logo" or "theme" for the page. That, in a way, made the Saiya-jin part of the site come out. This time around I'm putting the focus on "Mars" by having the rotating planetary symbols as they are used in Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon.
01-25-06 ((*date message was written*))
.....wow. Note to self: do not let almost 2 years elapse before updating. o.o;;
Ow.
So anyways, yeah, update.. >.> I finally got around to working on that new site layout (again). ^^;; I say "again" because my previous layout design was being worked on with some help from my roommate Sarah. Unfortunately, when her harddrive crashed last spring, it took all that with it. =/ So I've spent a lot of time re-thinking about what to do.
Not to mention that I was out of the country for a month (*cough*in Japan*cough*), attended a total of 4 conventions, and had some busy class schedules last year. And oh! Oh! I graduate college in December! Go me. ^______^ *happy dance*
Mostly I'm doing this so that I can stop having the "omg, I'm almost 19" message up cuz uh.. yeah. Now I'm almost 21.. >.>;;;;; *siiiiigh*
6-7-04
Yay! New update! Lol. Actually, this should have gone up yesterday, but I forgot to do it. *shrug* So anyways, I finally got the Sailor Senshi costume pages done yesterday! Woo! So go take a look.
I will eventually get the new drawings up, but I still have to scan them. Why? Because I now have FFX and FFX-2..so guess what I've been doing. ^_^;; Lol. For more drama on my life, check out the LiveJournal.
Oh, one more thing.. 6 days to my 19th birthday!!!!!
=)
5/15/04
First off, I'm leaving the earlier update from a couple days ago up (on the main page) for anyone who's vising this version of the site for the first time.
Now, why is there a new update? Because...I added another link to the menu! Oh, and I added a link at the bottom of the page to the Site Map incase anyone can't click the buttons to the left. Anywho- menu. I now have a LiveJournal, so a button got added for it (even if it could've been a helluva lot easier for me to just add a link under "Randomness". Lol). Check it out if you wanna, that's all up to you.
I still have to finish the pages for my Sailor Senshi costumes- but don't fret, they'll be done soon enough. I have the pics 'n all, have the general layout, just have to input the pics and info 'n stuff. ^_^; I'll do it, just give me a bit more time. The new site layout took priority here.. (Well, so did college classes, but that's besides the point.)
Oh I know..I forgot to mention also that I have a new belt now in karate! Yes, I now have a belt that matches the highlights-that-won't-go-away in my hair (purple). Lol. (Purple highlights. Why? Because I had dyed my hair dark purple for MegaCon and the blonde highlights I had picked up the purple and well..it won't go away. Heh.)
Lastly, I forgot to mention that the Star Wars Weekends stuff from last year finally got finished. So the last page is finally linked 'n all. Lol- took long enough, ne? Hehe. Anywho, enjoy teh page. New drawings coming soon with the Sailor Senshi costume pics.
5/11/04
Was I bored? Oh, you better believe it. >_<; The entire idea for the new layout was the fact that I wanted to have something new. Actually, I've wanted to redo this site for the second time for a couple of months now. The frames just gets too annoying when working with HTML. *sigh* Anyways, Yes, new stuff ish up. MegaCon pics finally got done, I borrowed my roommate's scanner and scanned 26 more drawings- half of which are all really old that I had skipped over when originally scanning cuz I didn't think they were worth it. Yeah well, now I do. You can see my "improvement" over the last 2 years. Also, some of the pics are new ones I've done in the last couple of days.
The little chibi in the corner you will see in the Drawings section because it's a chibification (I love making up words. Lol.) of my DBZ chara. Anyone who's been here before would know her as "Kitera", but I changed her name and it's now "Saika"- change the letters around and add an "n" and you get "kansai", which means "dried vegetables". Hey, she's Saiya-jin, she needs a veggie-related name. Lol. Anywho, she's my "logo" now for this page. Heh. And if you wanna know what the hiragana up in the other corner means... It's the name of the site. Mwaha. "Jedi - Saiyajin - Maasu" for those of you who can't Japanese kana.
3/20/04
Oi. Another mass update. x.x Well, I fixed and changed the opening/intro animation of mine when you first come to the page. (And for those of you who never see it..shame on you! Go look! Now! Lol.) Besides that, the mass update involved the Drawings/Anime section. I finished up the pages for all the drawings that didn't already have one, as well as edited the other pages a bit. So now all the drawings have their little critiques by meh. Heh. And ya'll better appreciate it! That was 15 pages that got updated/edited, and another 16 that got created. @.@ Aye... Thank Kami that I have no classes on Fridays and can sit here in front of my computer with nothing to worry about. (Classwork for next week doesn't count. Lol.)
So yeah. That's how I spent my Friday. Still have more drawings that have to get scanned and have pages made, but that's all gonna be later more than likely. I still have an anime script for Scriptwriting to finish. And by this coming Tuesday (3-23), but that's not important. *sarcasm* Oh! I went to MegaCon 2004 a couple weeks ago! Woo!! Funness. Went as Sailor Mars, my niece was with me as Sailor Jupiter. Hard to believe we were just about the only Sailor Senshi at the entire convention. For mass amount of pics..see Maboroshi Studios and their MegaCon galleries. Pics of my niece and I are in Saturday's album as well as the Cosplay Contest. 8 in total. Cool. ^^ Heh.
Speaking of costumes and pics..yes..I know.. I still have to make the pages for the Sailor Senshi costume pics. x.x I'll do it. Eventually. Probably after I do pages for MegaCon pics that I took, cuz one of my friends is starting to bug me about it. Curse my procrastination and laziness. @.@ Gah...
1/27/04
Well, one thing's for sure, all the pages got updated to say "1999-2004". Heh. >.>; *cough* Er, yeah. Anywho, I did some updating today while once again dodging my work for classes. College...what can I say.
Well, I still need to finish the Drawings pages, but I got some new pics of my Sailor Mars costumes, as well as the Sailor Jupiter one made for my niece, so those are gonna get their own pages soon. Also, I'm working on a Star Wars fanfilm script for myself as well as an anime-ish TV show script for my Scriptwriting class, so those are kinda taking my time right now. That and well, the fact that I've been getting ready for my yellow belt test in karate. ^.^ Mwaha, I have a new belt. Happy me. Anyways..yeah. Back to the update on this page...
Oooo, I linked the rest of the drawings I scanned! But, there's still new ones that have to be added. Mwahaha. Check 'em out, though. Some suck, I know. *sigh* Oh well. If you haven't noticed, the anime pages pretty much use Japanese names so ...yeah. Not hard to figure out, and the ones that really don't look recognizable, I left the English name. Kk? And one more thing, I updated a couple of my SW costume parts pages, so check out the new pics. I think that's all... *sigh* ...I hope that's all I did..
10/22/03
Alright, this message has been up on the Drawings page for a couple of weeks..I don't know why I didn't update here and say so:
Ok.....so I found out that in the UCF Honors College computer lab, there are a couple of scanners. Woo! ^.^ (I'm in Honors, therefore I get access to them.) Therefore, guess what! I scanned the majority of my drawings. That's why you'll notice that the dark pictures you can now actually see. Yayness. Well, I uploaded the rest of my drawings, just have to link them. Eh. At least some of them are up. Anyways, some of these I'm still working on the pages to, but I wanted to have the pics up so you could still see them- you'll see which ones it is that I still have to make pages for. The Celiipa/Fasha and one of the Torankusu drawings I have the screenshots I referenced from..I just have to make the pages to put them on. Same goes for the manga Sailor Moon drawings, I have the scans of the pages..just gotta put them up. ^.^ Heh. Anyways...enjoy.
So yeah...soon I will get off my lazy ass and finish the other pages as well as finish uploading the rest and linking and stuff. Eventually. When I'm not doing about 7 or 8 other projects for various things (like props or costume parts for my various costumes, or ..ah... class project/assignment stuff or..um... playing Sailor Mooon: Another Story RPG for SNES. ^.^; Hehe...). ...yeah. Anyways..go..look at the ones now scanned if you have not already. I will soon link the rest that I have uploaded. Soon. >.>; Okay..going now..
8/13/03
Okay, I realized finally that I could use my digital camcorder's still-picture-capability to temporarily get my drawings onto the site. So! Go check out those pictures. I still have to finish up the individual pages for some of the drawings, but until then I just posted the pictures themselves, so when I have the page done I'll just change the link. Some of them I'm proud of...some I think ...look funny. Eh. Oh well. Anyways yeah..go look. I still have more to put up, but I gotta scan/get pics first. So yeah..enjoy the drawings and...stuff ... >.>;
7/28/03
I updated..some time ago...the SW Weekends chronicles and linked the second page for Saturday. Dunno why I didn't do an update for it. *shrug* Eh. Anyways, I've now redone the drawings section and made actual pages for my drawings. So..go check it out! Oh, and I'm getting a new computer and scanner soon, so I'll be able to expand that section in the near future as I have a ton of drawings to scan. (See "Drawings" page for a kind of list of the drawings to be added.) Ah...I think that's all? I'm still working on the page for Sunday for SW Weekends and no..my lightsabre and blaster props are still not done. OH! I have finally got some new pics back of my Jedi belt and I even have a couple pics of my holster and new gunbelt, so I'll go to work on pages for those..soon.. >.>; Lol. Anyways, later! Until the next update!
6/26/03
Yay! New update! And you wanna know what that is? Well, of course you do, or you wouldn't be reading this. Lol. (I'm in a humorous mood...) Okay, I've added more to the SW Weekends chronicles! (Heh) Soooo, now I've gotten up to the end of the noon autograph session (which would make it by then somewhere around 1 PM). Pictures are there..actually the page for Saturday now has a grand total of 23 pictures on it, though half are thumb-nail-style, so be patient while they all load, k?
6/22/03 (2:26 PM)
Wooo, 12 hours later... Okay, I've linked the pages for Friday and part of Saturday from SWW. Find them under "Star Wars" category then scroll down to "Other Charas/Info". It's there. Also, if you wanna view all 28 of the photos from SWW before I get them up here with all my editorializing about what happened inbetween photos 'n stuff, check out my Yahoo! (better known as Yahell! to most of us) Photo Album:
Yahoo! Photo Album and click "SW Weekends MGM '03". There are captions for pretty much every photo (one doesn't cuz Yahell was being a pain last night and wouldn't let me add a caption..), so click the thumbnails to read my captions. :D
Also! You might notice a new link up top! Yes, it's a link to the "Updates" page where I've moved all the rest of the updates that used to be here...okay, so not *all* the rest.. Anyways, if you wanna see what's been added to the site 'n stuff, check out that page. Exactly what I put here under "~*Update~*" will appear there.. ((Er...yeah, literally I copy-and-paste..))
6/22/03 (2:37 AM)
Am I crazy to be doing this at this early in the morning? Yes, I am. That and I'm just now starting to feel tired. Anyways, I've added more to the Star Wars section!! Yes, it's ever-growing. There are now pages up displaying my blasters (or the one complete and one to-be-in-progress). You can find those pictures under either Star Wars and click Accessories/Blasters or the same under Picture Gallery.
I'm working on the pages chronicalling the events of SW Weekends (SWW), so far I've finished Friday but I'm only as far as the morning of Saturday, so bear with me. Plus, I've only gotten back one roll of film from the weekend, so I only have 28 pictures right now. Those pictures will be found on the SWW pages as I mention them. As I receive the rest of the pictures, they will be added in either as links or as thumbnails. Haven't decided yet. I believe that's all for now...
Oh, and new pictures of my Jedi accessories will be coming soon......just as soon as I take them and get them developed. The same goes for pics of Keira/new pics of me in the black uniform and a new Princess costume. Also, pics coming of Kitera (SW character)! Forgot to mention when I had done it, but currently there are two new pictures of Sionna in the Picture Gallery. They are new pictures of her Old Republic-style uniform.
6/16/03
I forgot to post a update message when I did this: Okay, all of the pages for Accessories under both Star Wars and Picture Gallery are complete, including pictures to show the parts and in some cases the steps of how they were made. I include a description of how I made each item.
Anyways, I've returned from SW Weekends @ Disney-MGM and I'm gonna have tons of pics from the event, since I was there for 3 days. I'll have up pictures as I get them, since some I have to get from a couple of friends. However, I'll be working on a page that will talk about everything that happened around me during the event- including my glaring contest with Darth Maul and description of the Stormtrooper that held up the ice-cream vendor. (That was too funny..unfortunately I didn't take a picture..at least I don't *think* I did...) Also..the fact that I met Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett). :D Hehe. Oh, and June 13 was my 18th birthday, so happy birthday to me. Mwahaha...legalness..
6/10/03
Okay, I've got the pics of my lightsabre-in-progress up, showing how I'm putting together Sionna's Sabre 2. Find the section under "Lightsabres" in either the Star Wars or Picture Gallery categories.
In case you can't/don't want to use any of the links around the moon..
