popping back in after (another) lengthy absence, to make some quick site updates! 🫡
the mediapages have been refreshed once more, with some new titles added!
I have continued to crochet... a lot! I made an Eraserhead Baby Labubu (what a mouthful... pictured below lol), as well as several crochet garments I still need to muster the motivation&energy to photograph properly. sharing those will be my goal for the next journal entry (whenever that ends up being!) 😅
(my beautifully ugly son 🥰 I am SO pleased with this little guy. friends & coworkers seemed to really like him as well!)
I've since promised 3 people that I'd make them their own custom crochet Labubus for the upcoming holidays... & I'm going to be real, I'm a little filled w/ regerts 😬 but I'm sure it'll all turn out!
hmmm what else recently... I just last night watched Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein! I generally enjoyed it, but to be entirely honest, I didn't enjoy it quite as much as some of his other films :') I'm not even entirely sure what exactly was 'missing', but it just didn't seem to work as well as it seems it could have.
I am also (slowly) making my way through a series called Key: The Metal Idol! the screencap at the top of this entry is actually from it (& I thought what a coincidence, lmao). I'm enjoying this one a lot so far, but my focus as always is extremely short 🙈 still making slow progress however!
& that's pretty much it for now! until next time! 👋😄
a short update about how I've been occupying myself recently: I've been slowly making my way through the Vampire Princess Miyu series while I work on... yet another sweater (will it even be THAT cold come autumn this year is the question 🤦♀️). I've been enjoying the series so far tho! the 90s artstyle & monster-of-the-week formula has been pretty fun.
I've also been spending a lot of time recently playing through different Yume Nikki fangames on the Yume Nikki Online Project site! my favorite that I've explored so far has been Yume Tsushin (pictured above!). the art & general atmosphere are so good, & wandering around in the dream world has felt like the perfect thing to do these past few evenings 😴
I was a little surprised over how many fangames are available on the site, including ones I hadn't ever even heard of before. I've got a lot more to explore! I wish I had known about this project earlier, because it's been so much fun (& easy!!) being able to play the different games in-browser.
I return after... 3 months (😱) with thrilling news: yesterday I visited my very first cat cafe!!! 🎉
(these were a few of the sleepy kitties I got to hang out with—but there were many more up & about playing w/ their toys & other guests! 🫶)
what a lovely experience!! I will definitely want to go back sometime (not only to see the kitties, but also help support the cafe's foster & adoption endeavors! 😊)
as far as other news: I finally am starting to get back into crochet after a long break! or rather... I was hit w/ very sudden inspiration, & rapidly made a sweater + tanktop back-to-back after acquiring some really cool ombre yarn 😅
(I used ~6 skeins of the Lion Brand Ferris Wheel yarn in the color 'Imaginary Garden' to make both of these! such a fun yarn—I definitely want to play around w/ more ombre yarns in the future!)
I've been filled w/ so many ideas of other garments that I'd like to make next! 💪 although, to be fair, that may need to wait until after summer is over (I adore the sweater I made, but I obviously won't be able to wear it out for several more months!! 🤦♀️)
