I spent the last two days cleaning the yard, so today I wanted to relax and finish the art for the new year's card. But my family started the cleaning and I had to help them while drawing. Anyway I could finish the drawing and that was the last thing I had to do this year. Thank you for 2025🙏2025.12.31
It seems my family has some plans, so the end-of-year cleaning will have to wait until next year. Though I cleaned the outside of the house for now. Feels clean✨2025.12.30
I harvested the sweet potatoes I grew in my kitchen garden. Just a few but they were very plump and large so I'm happy. I hit a wall with the mystery genre, so I took a little break by learning JavaScript a bit from Gemini. It's been updated a lot since I first got interested and seems doesn't do var var as much anymore.2025.12.28
I'm already struggling with the holiday spending and year-end expenses, and now I got the domain renewal notice for the next year. Soon I'll get the server rental fee bill too... so please let me post a little support link on the homepage (which is quieter than the wiki🥲) to keep this ad-free online gallery running🙏2025.12.23
Happy winter solstice! I uploaded the winter greeting card, which I couldn't take enough time to draw. I need to fix or remake my shopping bags but I'm too busy to take out the sewing machine and work on them😵💫2025.12.21
It's time to draw new year's greeting cards, so I did a little study on drawing the horse, which is next year's zodiac animal. It's well-known that horses walk on the tip of their middle finger, but I was surprised to learn that they don't have collarbones🐎2025.12.14
After I complained about not putting up the Christmas tree, they got an easy hanging wall decoration instead. It looks like the glitchy CGI tree is floating in the air and half stuck in the wall... but it's better than nothing, and a cat-proof, right?😂2025.12.13
This morning I had a weird dream about a huge tsunami coming... even though this is a inland desert area🤔 It was unusually warm for December today so I cleaned my bedroom and its outside. I even saw a butterfly and a bee flying around. I'll save the new pajamas I got for half price on Black Friday until the winter solstice. There are no stores that carry a wide selection of sleepwear these days, and since SEARS closed, it's been hard to find pajamas I like.2025.12.12
Talking of fridge, I had some leftover blueberries this morning, and I decided to bake them into corn muffin mix. But I must have been half asleep because I added twice the amount of milk the recipe called for, so I had to add another carton and make double the muffins. I had them for breakfast and snacks, but I still have some for a late-night snack too🧁🧁🧁2025.12.4
The weather was nice, so I cleaned the house today. I also swept up the fallen leaves outside and moved the plants indoors since it's getting colder. I'm surprised that some vegetables are still bearing fruit even though it's almost winter. I might be able to harvest frozen vegetables🍅2025.12.4
It's been a month since I got hooked on that mystery genre. I want to believe I've made some progress. It's December but my xxx won't let me put up the tree so it doesn't feel like Christmas at all. xxx is extremely lazy and hates all celebrations, so I've never even had my own birthday party with friends. Even so I still want to celebrate seasonal events and anniversaries, because the same year never comes around again, every event is a once in a lifetime opportunity🥲2025.12.3
Since fewer people could gather for Thanksgiving this year, I cooked a small ham as the main dish instead of turkey, with a few side dishes. I forgot to buy cranberry sauce though, I'm thankful I could celebrate Thanksgiving with family again🙏2025.11.27
It's been a while since I've seen a website that plays music. So as a break, I uploaded a MIDI music I created long years ago and tried to make it playable with an external player. You can listen to it by entering the code [music] on the secret page, but there is no volume control or anything... probably your device has one🎚2025.11.25
もうちょっとだと思ったけどやっぱり手間取ってる。それよりも1月にDの新刊が出るらしい♡
I thought I was close, but it's taking longer than expected😅 By the way, it seems VHD's new volume will be released in January!2025.11.23
あと少し?結論からするとブレンダーは要らなかった気もする。
Almost there? I probably didn't need Blender after all...2025.11.17
I was planning to take a break after busy October ended, but I got hooked into that unique genre and neglected to update the site. And if I don't get results, I can't even share them here😂 I guess sometimes spending time like this isn't a bad thing though...2025.11.14
I needed to create some simple CGI for a project in a genre that's somewhat unusual for me. But since I lost my job during the pandemic, I lost my licenses for both 3dsMAX and MAYA and can't use them anymore. But I remembered hearing there was a plugin that could make Blender(free!)'s UI look like 3dsMax, so I tried installing it. However, since this is my first time using Blender, I'm not quite sure how the plugin works, and I'll probably get used to Blender itself first. The task is simple and seems to I can accomplish the purpose.2025.11.6
Last month I was busy drawing, so these past few days I've been catching up on tasks I'd put off, and playing around in a random genre. Today I finished cleaning the house and got a break. I need to get back to working on the boktai anniv video soon...2025.11.4
A delivery truck crushed the mailbox at my house a while ago, so this weekend I spent getting a new one ready. It looks just like this emoji📪2025.10.27
I recently got unlimited internet access, so I've been searching for BGM on YouTube. It's taking me a while to find music that aren't AI-generated. I don't dislike AI-generated music, but at least when I'm doing my own creative work, I want to support human artists.
I've been listening to synthwave these past few days, but somehow I ended up listening to vaporwave instead. It's music of nostalgic emotion and inertia. I feel it makes my mind so unhealthy like a sweet poison but I can't help listening to it... maybe I'm tired🥲2025.10.24
Just realized that 4444 is a recognizable kiriban number so I fixed that. I tried thicker lines for the boktober this week (except the small Ringo) which I've never good at. Have I gotten a little better?2025.10.19
I decided not to practice watercolor brush for Boktober this week, so I had some free time. Today I cleaned my house and tried baking a cake with yogurt. I was too lazy to find a round pan and tried using a loaf pan instead, but it baked up nicely. It's sitting in the fridge now... what, there is no refrigerator emoji?2025.10.15
It's already been a week since Boktober begun. I'm already feeling little exhausted... and it seems like there are fewer participants this year. It's sad but I want to push through to the end as training to improve my drawing skill🥲 2025.10.8
Boktober is ongoing on X. I don't have much time now, so it will be a while before I put them together to make the gallery page. I've always put them in the Traditional Art category, but this year I'm not sure where I put them...🤔2025.10.3
I just started drawing Boktober art. Today is day 0 and I'll keep drawing a whole month. By the way, I only talk about art, writing, and music this month on here and they make me sound cultured so badly. I need to talk about something more vulgar😛2025.9.30
Since it's difficult to tell the difference just by showing the adjusted photo, I made this comparison picture. It's interesting to see the contrast between the natural feel of the sky seen through the eyes, versus the vivid impression felt by the heart. This is why I like using Photoshop.2025.9.25
I added some free materials on [Link] page. I made 60px icons for the fanart gallery, and sakura images for my photo album, but I couldn't find other place to use them so far, so you can have them. The sky pictures are the photos I took and adjusted color to make them look like anime background. Seeing real skies and clouds that look like a stock photo makes me feel happy🌞2025.9.24
I finished the fall art. The equinox is on Monday but I might upload it early. And Boktober prompts for this year is now available. Personally, I feel it's a bit more challenging than previous years. Because the more specific the subject, the less freedom in what you can draw.2025.9.20
Drawing for the fall. I tried a pencil brush for a light touch. So far, when I've been drawing digitally, I've tried to draw stable lines and color like an anime style with clear contrast between light and shadow. However, with the Sabata + Vanargand art I drew last time, I feel like I've finally reached my target level of experience, so from now on I'd like to try new line drawings and coloring. I hope I can study those new styles at Boktober on next month. 2025.9.15
I found the background music for Taro Okamono's "Tree of Life" experience (was the exhibit inside the "Tower of the Sun" for Expo'70) on YouTube and it's stack in my head. Composer Mayuzumi Toshiro's [Hymn to Life] is only a five-minute piece but it has a power comparable to Stravinsky's [The Rite of Spring]. It's a shame only the vinyl recordings remain. I'll add this to the list of music I'd like to listen performed live someday.2025.9.13
Currently we are selecting the Boktober prompts. By the way, I've been thinking about the mystery(?) story and I want to set it in Japan, but I'm struggling with describing locations and situations and feels like I'm stuck already. For example, I haven't seen many people wearing business suits around me. So what would happen if I pulled someone's tie?😅 2025.9.12
まだ九月なのに今朝はやけに涼しくて驚いた。主催者の方から返事が来たのでボクトーバ―開催できそう。
It was surprised by how cool it was this morning, even though it's still September. I got the reply from the Boktober host so it will be held again!2025.9.10
I still can't get in touch with the Boktober host. Even if the event is held again, I will likely participate with digital drawing this year due to time and art supply constraints. I need to start thinking about the fall art too...🍃2025.9.8
My friend told me about her experience at the Osaka Expo, but what really made an impression was "Tower of the Sun" she visited next day, designed by the artist Taro Okamoto for Expo'70. I've always been interested about that tower, both as an artwork and an immersive attraction. Anyone can feel the raw energy from Taro's work at first glance, because it has primitive strength, just like his famous phrase "art is explosion!". I want to visit his art museum in Japan someday🌞2025.9.4
I've finished writing the plot for the mystery story, so all I have left is the writing of the main text. Also I've finished drawing the lines for the animation cells of the anniversary video and started coloring. It's simple work, so I should be able to do both at once... but of course I can't😑2025.8.26
It seems that a mouse chewed on a silicone spatula stored in the kitchen... is it eatable? Also grain bugs were chewing on candle pieces instead of their favorite chicken feed. Are they preparing for autumn already?2025.8.23
The main reasons for the failure of my previous mystery story were my poor skill at describing realistic scenes, and I couldn't understand the criminal's psychology. Aren't mystery novel writers are pretty dangerous people?😅2025.8.20
I haven't made much progress on the anniversary video, but I suddenly had an idea for a mystery-ish novel plot and wrote it down (in Japanese). I've tried writing a detective story before, but they didn't turn out very well. Anyway this should help me to calm my urge to write science fiction for a while. 2025.8.19
あーあ、空からヤンデレなカーデシア人降ってこないかなあ…(まだ引きずっている)
I wish a sweet Cardassian guy would fall from the sky... (seems I'm not over it yet😂)2025.8.16
Although, UFO sightings don't prove the existence of aliens, just as proving that the moon landing footage is fake doesn't prove humans never reached the moon. The fact that it cannot be denied and remaining possibilities stimulate curiosity, and real experiences like UFO sightings boost it👽2025.8.16
Talking about science fiction, if someone asked me if I've ever seen a UFO, I would answer yes. The problem is that I would also have to recall the better feeling I had when I witnessed it, wondering how many people believe me if I told them about it...🛸2025.8.15
After watching DS9, I feel like I really want to write science fictions. Sisko's curse I guess. The one I wrote last spring was not a real sci-fi even it awarded. But I want to keep focusing writing story about vampires😂2025.8.14
Whoa, Hijioka quoted one of my Boktober art post on X!? This cheers me up and relieves so much😆2025.8.12
この一週間でデスク周りのタスクが色々と片付いてすっきり。もう二、三日したら浮上するかな…。
I got a bunch of stuff done around my desk last week. I may need a couple of days before return...2025.8.11
デジタル-アナログとか公-私とかのバランスは大事にしたいと思う、というわけで今は潜ってる感じ。
I think it's important to maintain a balance between digital - analog, and between public - private life. So I'm taking a break from the internet right now.2025.8.6
Because I couldn't concentrate on the anniversary video making, I'm working on scrapbooking for my photo album of last a few years. I'm getting feel better now🙂2025.8.2
I want to rewatch the TNG and DS9 episodes that involves Cardassian in English but I have no time. I'll back to work on the Boktai 20th anniversary video to complete this time ;w;2025.7.31
I just uploaded the Bok3 20th anniversary art on X but let me have some time to prepare the gallery page. I worked so hard and ended up exhausted... this art made me feel so distressed while drawing for some reasons😑2025.7.29
I've done the lines and just starting the coloring. I don't know if I can make this until tomorrow. I was drawing this with emotional instability and so I almost got dragged into Vanargand's dream😂2025.7.27
どんなにカーデシアンロスが悪化しようとシンボク20周年記念絵は間に合わせたいのだけどw
Even I miss Cardassians too much and getting sick, I want to finish 20th anniversary art of Bok3 in time lol2025.7.25
I can't sleep well at night and it makes my lips and nails rough. The one who watchs VOY with me is a big fan of Vulcan, and seeing her happy about Tuvok makes my feel even more down🥲2025.7.25
And then I started watching VOY... why I feel like lacking?😂 By the way, I tried to add a X link button on the lastest fanart page of the gallery. If it works, I'll add it on other pages... when I have time.2025.7.22
So I've finished rewatching the three series of StarTrek, and I still think I like DS9 the best. Because TOS and TNG are stories about officers exploring the unknown stuff and facing challenges, while DS9 is a story about characters from various positions and backgrounds struggling to find their place in the world. 2025.7.20
I just finished watching DS9 today, and I'll start missing Cardassians tomorrow. I love them so much I want to build a house and live on Cardassia Prime...😭 2025.7.19
Happy Boktai series 22nd Anniversary! I uploaded the art on the gallery and X. The layout look like the last Sabata art because the previous art was the study I guess. It seems they are using both "22nd" and "22th" hashtags again...😎2025.7.17
記念絵作業中。線画が完了したので彩色開始。今回はペンタブの不調が多くて手間取ったり。間に合えー。
The anniversary art progress. The lines are done and starting color now. I'm having some pen-tablet problems this time which taking more time than usual😐2025.7.15
I was busy again last a couple days and I couldn't take a time to work on the anniversary art. Temperature is getting higher and it's hard to concentrate on anything. I want a cool and quiet place to work which I can't hope for in my current environment. And no privacy too... why no one knock the door when entering my room?🤔 2025.7.10
プールでぷかぷかしたらちょっと元気出た。今年の記念絵はシンボクっぽいのがいいよなぁ。
I recovered after floating in the pool today. I was thinking the anniversary art should be Bok3 themed.2025.7.6
忙しい一週間だった…そしてボクタイ22周年が間近という。何を描くか考える気力がまだない💦
It was a busy week for me... and Boktai 22nd anniversary is coming up. I don't have enough energy yet to think about what to draw😅2025.7.5
Independence Day is coming up. I recently saw a local fireworks display. They started it even though the evening was windy, so the smoke, dust, and heat reaching the audience, and I had to evacuate the front row and watch through sunglasses. It was such a thrilling event that I felt I was in danger😂2025.7.2
June
2025.6
また夏らしく暑くなって安心だけど暑い🫠 記念動画の「鳥」を描き終わったので次は背景の「樹」かな。
It's getting hot like normal summer again, which is nice but hot🫠 I finished drawing the bird for the anniversary video, so the next drawing is the tree for the BG.2025.6.26
It's the middle of summer just after the solstice, but it's been cooler from last weekend which makes me little anxious. Although temperatures weren't so high, I wouldn't have to draw anything stupid lol2025.6.24
Happy summer solstice! Solstice occurs because of the position of the earth and the sun, which is why the day/time of the solstice differs in different places, and not always occur during daytime. So every first day of the seasons, I mark the shadow that falls on the porch ground of my house at "solar noon", not the actual solstice/equinox moment. Solar noon is when the Sun is at its highest point in the observer's sky each day, and sounds really like the bishoujo senshi🤣2025.6.20
I went grocery shopping last weekend and found it's the season of peaches and nectarines. I bought two yellow peaches and made the syrup for my summer tea, but it was too sour. It's been a year since last time I made it, so I must have used the wrong amount of sugar🍑 2025.6.17
I made and uploaded the second 3-koma. I think I need to start working on the summer art now... how about a tropic night image? But with who...?2025.6.16
I finished one 3koma manga. I want to make a couple more if I have time, so I didn't share it on X yet. Finally I gave up to make 4koma and so changed the header of the galley section to "Mostly 4-koma"😂2025.6.12
I just remembered that the summer solstice is next week. So I'm going to finish the 3-koma manga that I was working a while ago first as practicing Boktai drawing. I feel it's only been a little while since I draw the three sisters for the spring...😅2025.6.12
Because I won the contest, I added "creative writing" to the skill section on [Profile] page. But only in Japanese... I hope if I can find a remote job that requires this kind of skill🖋2025.6.10
I added the link to the Sci-Fi(?) short story on my [Original] galley that won the contest this time. They translated the story into English so I can share it with non-Japanese speaker too. Curiously, the translator of this story is also named Mina, but her English is excellent. A video of the storytelling performed by a professional actor is also available with EN/JP subtitles, which makes my feel so honored😊 2025.6.8
I'll stop post something like "it's already a new month!" at every beginning of the month. May was a busy month with ups and downs. It's been a bit of a downturn lately, but I want to get it going again.2025.6.1
The visitor counter passed [3333] but nobody reported, so the next kiriban is a closer number [3500]. Now that things are settling down, I'm going to resume the Boktai anniversary video making again that I wasn't able to work on for a while.2025.5.26
Because my Illustrator is back, I added some Boktai element icons on Guestbook (is not in much demand though). "taiyo" icon is from manga Django, which is a red sun on blue actually, so this one seems his brother's?2025.5.23
I'm feeling a bit down because my new job was cancelled and one of my parent's pet crossed the rainbow bridge...😢 I customized my Adobe Illustrator interface today, which had been untouched since I moved my computer. I made a mermaid pattern (means just scales) to try it out. Simple tasks like this make me feel better.2025.5.22
The remote job I was registered for, I haven't received any work yet, but my account has been deleted and there is no way to get it back... why😭 So I'm back to looking for a job again.2025.5.19
I'm hoping if Squishmallow collaborates with StarTrek... so I can have a Cardassian-mallow♡ And you can have the pulshies like Klingon-marrow or Trrible-marrow. Haha.2025.5.18
So that was my report from last weekend. I forgot to put a few more things though. The TF ride I was looking forward to see Megs was closed due to refurbishment. And there was a couple who prayed to me with "May the Force..." words. I don't know if they were joking or serious which makes it complicated😂2025.5.16
イベント・レポートは特設ページに移動しました。 The event report moved to the separate page.
I joined the event this weekend. I'll share the pics and report on here and X soon as I prepare them. It's been a long time since I've attended a event in cosplay, so it was fun but I'm also pretty tired💧2025.5.11
I don't have a lot of free time this week, so I thought I'd write a little continuation of my original fiction. But most of the short episodes have been finished and published, so all the remaining episodes are about medium to long in length which are far from complete😅2025.5.7
It rained for the first time in a while. I have a busy schedule this week. By the way, it's Children's Day in Japan today but I don't remember much about it except to put up koinobori. So here it is 🎏 2025.5.5
I have some happy news regarding my creative activities, but it will be a while before I can share it. I'm a bit anxious because the costume making was finished so early... I always worked on my cosplay until the night before the event. The event I will join is scheduled for this month. By the way, I'm going to attend it as a family event, not just as a StarTrek fan, so it's difficult to find the right balance between the two.2025.5.1
Since this was a metal pin, I didn't like the glossy surface because it looked cheap, so I sprayed a clear satin coat to reduce the gloss. Looks better now.2025.4.30
Fitting. Size looks good (except the pip). There are hidden zippers on the front but it's not easy to wear and take off (ask Riker if you are wondering how to undress this uniform. I'm sure he knows it very well lol). I haven't cosplayed since Halloween.2025.4.29
I just found out that the pips I bought are slightly larger than the default pips. So annoyed. Maybe I'll get the official pips at the event...2025.4.28
Just finished all the sewing process! I already have the badge that turned a pin into a magnet today, and I'm thinking of wearing 1.5 pips as a lieutenant junior grade. Which means lower than Data but higher than O'Brian lol2025.4.28
暑くなる前に片づけておきたい庭作業があって服の制作が進まない。とりあえず袖は昨日完成。最近のカラオケ課題曲は〈さくらんぼ🍒〉だったけど、今日から〈'ej HumtaH 'ej DechtaH 'Iw〉を練習。なんとクリンゴン語である。歌詞が四行しかないのでカービィの〈Welcome to the~〉よりは覚えやすいと思う。
I have some yard work that I should get done before it gets too hot, so not much progress has been made on my costume though I finished the sleeves yesterday. My karaoke practice song was Sakuranbo🍒 recently, and I'll practice 'ej HumtaH 'ej DechtaH 'Iw for next. Yes it's a Klingon song lol The lyrics are only four lines so I think it's easier to remember than Kirby's Welcome to the... song I memorized.2025.4.24
Just installed some hook-and-eye closures inside. I did a lot of catch-stitch last weekend so I'm getting used to it. The trick to keep the right side clean is not to put tension on the thread. Now I have to finish the sleeves and hem, and a little work left on the inside. 2025.4.22
It's a cleaning day today so I'm taking a break from costume making. Now I'm using a new keyboard that arrived yesterday, since my old keyboard is about 14-years-old. I like the new one which is matte and smooth, and simple and easy to clean. From my experience working in a college computer lab, I believe that PC equipment hygiene is really important. Take care of the interface as a portal to the digital world.2025.4.18
The all parts are together now. It was difficult to align the decorative lines front and back. Does it look like a skant uniform from TNG now? I still have a lot of work left to do on the inside though. I have to practice a catch-stitch for next🪡 2025.4.17
This is the front body, which looks simple but is complex inside. The 1/4" twill tape I ordered online never arrived after all. So I substituted 1/2" tape and continued the project. That part will be on the inside, so it won't be visible anyway... a bit more durable than the original I guess.2025.4.15
My costume making project postponed again because "twill tape" has not arrived... can I make this it in time😂 By the way, my keyboard isn't working well recently. I changed the computer but kept the keyboard so I guess it's gotten old. Too bad that it came with my previous computer as a set so I can't get the same one individually. I liked the choice of its function keys, and I don't see many keyboards with a separate "calculator" key. I haven't been writing fictions much lately because of this problem.2025.4.12
I got a fusible interfacing so resumed the project. I accidentally put the iron directory and damaged the fabric surface, so I had to remake part of it😅 Now you can figure out what costume I'm making...?2025.4.10
My costume making project is on hold for a few days because I don't have an "fusible interfacing". I've been looking for a remote job for a while, and I got an email from a place I registered with, so maybe I can work soon. I only have a month left to work on this project, but without the money I can't cover the cost of the materials😂2025.4.7
Finish cutting. I have to bring up the sewing machine. This "gold" fabric looks ochre to the eye, but the camera picks it up as yellow, which is very interesting.2025.4.4
Cutting✂layout. It's been a few years since I've made something to wear, so there are things I've forgotten. Also there are some new things for me, like the pattens that includes seam allowance, and mark the fabric from the right surface. I made a little mistake but I was able to fix it😅2025.4.3
It's April Fool's day but this is not a joke. Finally this website got the visitor who got a kiriban and reported to me! The Kiriban request is an old custom that was often seen on Japanese fansites around the 2000s. I'm nostalgic for those days and so have implemented it on here. Enjoy your free request, the lucky visitor🎉 2025.4.1
The article about the similarities between Boktai and VHD is almost done. I've also written a brief introduction about each series. I just don't have time to re-read all the books so I'll update the list later.2025.3.29
Here are the patterns I cut out. I had to adjust them for my weird sizing with a slight funnel chest. I hate people who try to know my age by the size of my chest😂2025.3.27
The main materials arrived today so maybe I can get started on the project a bit earlier. I have to wash them first to straightening the fabric. I'll admire you if you can figure out what I'm going to make from this pictures🫡2025.3.26
It's suddenly gotten hotter... I mean warmer in the last few days. I put away my former roommate's bed (which had turned into the cat's) and put out a party table workbench for a new project. The cat seems disappointed🙀2025.3.25
Also, I'll be working on other project in April, so I may not be able to update this site as much. I wrote the reason on my secret page but I'll keep it a secret for now. It's not a big deal though.2025.3.22
Finally daytime temperatures are rising, so I sowed some seeds today. I hope something will germinate🌱 I shared the spring art yesterday so I'll take a break today.
For the project to list the similarities between Boktai and VHD, I realized that I might have to re-read the books before I get to work on. Although I've been wanting to enhance Kikuchi-related content for my gallery, maybe this is a good chance to write and share the summary and my comment for each volume of VHD story... in Japanese😅 2025.3.22
Happy Spring Equinox🌷 Unfortunately I had to do some urgent stuff and I'm still working on the spring art. Though I'm glad that today is the second anniversary of this website and I thank all the visitors♡2025.3.20
It's St. Patrick's Day today☘ I'm wearing a green scrunchie on my hair... tying in Cardassian girl style. Also I'm cooking corned beef now. Food from other cultures is always interesting.2025.3.17
It seems that Vampire Hunter D animated movie is being re-screened in both Japan and the US. I would be happy if its original novel series gains more fans as well. Since some Boktai fans seems to be interested in this, I'm going to try to put together a text about the similarities between Boktai and Kikuchi's novels. However, it may take a while to write it in both Japanese and English.2025.3.13
I thought Cardassians seemed to be lounging in the sun on their days off, but I guess they don't like it as bright as the sun... I've recently been attracted to the Cardassian boys♡ and thought this was a dangerous sign, so I tried to do something different and fixed my original fictions a bit. I always think that StarTrek is such a dangerous genre to get into because there are too many unexplored attractive elements. 2025.3.9
The weather is getting warm and I'm busy working on the backyard. Today I was fixing the chicken coop and couldn't work on my computer. Because egg prices are super high now so hens are precious. It's almost the season I hear chicks chirping from the back of post office🐤 2025.3.1
I finished a personal project yesterday so I resumed drawing for the video of Boktai 23rd anniversary. I'm working on the last animation sequins and finally I finished all the character drawing. I'm going to draw about 20 frames of a flying bird and the solar tree for the background next.2025.2.26
My roommate was moved out so I was busy for a while. I hope I don't get kicked out because of it. The weather is warming up and I want to prepare my little kitchen garden to sow some vegetable seeds. I basically don't grow anything I can't eat🌱2025.2.23
My family started watching the season two of StarTrek DS9 last week, but my parent still cannot recognize Mr. Morn from the crowd. I like Odo but I like Cardassians as well. So who wants a holosuite program of romance with Cardassian gentlemen😍2025.2.20
I'm getting lazy to repeat what I'm doing every time I post a blog entry here so I made the status bar above. So far I couldn't find any remote job that doesn’t require fluency in English.2025.2.16
I added the group picture and Django's full-body art on the Valentine art page. I found Grok available on my X account so I tried to talk. Then it roasted me a lot like I need to get out in the real sunlight, not just making Boktai art inside lol I talk to Gemini sometimes too but Grok seems more strange guy🤖 So far it only allows 25 questions every a couple of hours for non-premium users.2025.2.16
I post the Valentine's day arts on the gallery. I glad I could complete them in time (at least in my time zone). I've drawn the gentlemen up to there knees and would like to share the larger image as a group picture or something. The drawing above is Black Django I didn't share on X and you know why😗2025.2.14
会いたかったよー!はーくーしゃーくー!! 主線は終わったかな…後は影と色。バレンタインに間に合え💦
I wanted to see you, Count! I think the line drawing is done... shadow and colors are left. Hurry up😅 2025.2.10
I don't know much about football so I only watched the opening and half time show and the commercials🏈 The drawing is another gentleman that I have to hurry to finish in time for Valentine's day.2025.2.9
The characters I chose for this year's valentine art are only gentlemen. So I won't draw Dainn and Ratatosk who were appearing as a boy (even they are much older than how they look). My goal of this year is to draw grown-up arts so.2025.2.3
Today is a rare Setsubun day in Japan, which usually happens in February third, to drive away demons (= bad stuff) for coming spring season. Without soybeans to throw, Dumas came for chocolate. Anyway giving Duke the Valentine chocolate just makes Perrault fat.2025.2.2
I've been getting ad emails from Universal Studios after I went there last year. I read them sometimes and just learned about the limited time sci-fi, fantasy, and anime themed event they will hold in this spring. I'm interested in that one of the event's featured series is StarTrek and it seems the visitor able to get into the bridge of Enterprise-D. Hmm why I can see fifth light...😂 2025.2.1
I had to climb up a sand mountain of 500 feet, is about 40 stories building high. The slope was very steep near the top, and the sand crumbled under my feet with every step I took. I don't do this kind of activity very often, so it was hard and I was out of breath. Taking many breaks, I climbed a few steps at a time, and finally I made it to the top! I've looked out over the open world and felt a sense of accomplishment. I've never climbed a mountain to the top but a sand now😎2025.2.1
I made a bat-damask pattern for the Valentine's day art. Even drawing something sexy is too hard for me maybe I can try dandy instead. By the way, I got [Vampire Hunter D] Vol. 43 book yesterday and read. The first half was great, but the later half was difficult. Though it's always nice when there is a vampire gentlemen in the story, not just beautiful female vampires. I liked the word "kiss-check"(?) which Kikuchi just made up lol 2025.1.25
I went shopping today and realized Valentine's day is coming soon. It's time to think about Valentine art for this year. I feel like I want to draw gentlemen like Count and Count but I don't know if I can draw sexy adult men...🥺2025.1.23
I got some free time and took out my pen-tablet for the first time last a few months to draw something. But it took me a while to transfer the setting and presets for the Photoshop and end up drawing nothing😕 My parent finish watching all TNG episodes and start watching DS9 so I. In this series, the voice actors of Japanese dub are Sisko = G1 Optimus, Odo = G1 Megatron, and Bashir = TFP Megatron, so sounds a lot like the TF for me. I'm not a big fan of Bajorans but I like Cardassians so I'm looking forward to rewatch the series.2025.1.21
I've finished watching all the episodes of TNG and only the movies are left. I'll miss Data😭 The RGB light's remote problem is solved by removing and swapping the surface sheet of buttons with the previous one. I let the new computer glowing a dim orange.2025.1.18
I shared some free images on [Link] page so please feel free to download and use them if you like. Also I fixed the variation in the emoji font displayed on this site so I believe it's better now. I got the new remote for the computer's RGB light today and it works just fine. The button labels and functions seem to be different but I'll play around with it.2025.1.18
Maybe it's a bit late to tell, but my house got a new satellite internet system this year, and finally the high speed internet with unlimited data service is available for me🛰 So I'm going to look for a remote job that I can work from home. I've been unemployed since I lost my job due to the pandemic.2025.1.17
Replacing the battery of the remote controller for RGB light didn't fix the problem, so I contacted the seller and they offered me to send a new remote. And today I installed additional fonts into the new PC, then Photoshop started crashing which was working fine yesterday. So I uninstalled the emoji fonts and it returned to normal. Which means the Photoshop malfunction on my previous computer may have been caused by emoji fonts...?😱2025.1.13
今週はパソコンに掛かり切りだったので今日はお休みして映画の鑑賞。ついに[Despicable Me 4]を観ることができました。放題は[怪盗グルーのミニオン超変身]ということで、グルーやら二世やらメガミニオンが活躍する話。物語は予想以上に楽しめて大円満でもしかして完結編?という不安がもたげたり。最後にシリーズ総キャラでTears for Fearsの曲とか歌ったら泣いちゃうだろうが;w;
I was working on my computer for a while so I took a break today and made it a movie day. Finally I could watch Despicable Me 4 and it was really good. The story was much fun and touching than I was expecting. I was almost cry when all the characters from the series getting together and singing Tears for Fears' song😭2025.1.12
It was a nice sunny day so I took the two computers outside to blow away the dust and did a physical cleaning to pray to ward off bug and glitch in the future😉 So today, 1/11, I'm pleased to announce from my new PC "Mina-II" that I've officially switched my computer. Well the RGB light problem is not solved yet, though it's a celebration time so I don't mind🥳2025.1.11
Progress report. Major files have been moved. I still need to set up the fonts and environment stuff. It took a while because I'm organizing the backup files in my external SSD as well. I found images I made or drew many years ago and I was a bit impressed. Some I missed, but some I didn't want to remember🥲 I wondered why my PC got a problem at this time, but I've been using it for +15 years, so maybe this is the right time to clean out the old files and set up a new environment. I'd like to make a fresh start with the new machine.2025.1.9
It's already been a week since the new year's day. I installed Adobe programs and the pen-tablet driver into the new PC. I could transfer the user preference and presets so I can use them just like my previous PC. The file transfer cable worked just fine too and it's easy to move files between two PCs. I'm going to move the files little by little. The RGB light on the front panel that I can't turn off, because it seems the battery in the remote control is dead. I guess I have to let it keep glowing until I can get the new battery. Christmas continues here✨✨✨ 2025.1.7
By the way, the new PC has several internet browser app by default and I tried to check this website. Then I found that some browser still overrides the emoji I specify and should be displayed. There is no problem with Chrome on Android and Edge on my Laptop... why😂2025.1.6
I received the alt desktop PC today! The surface has scratches which is hard to say minor but the inside is clean then I thought, and I could turn on the machine and setup the Windows. There is no problem so far except I can't figure out how to turn off the flashing rainbow light on the front panel. So noisy😳 2025.1.6
I just heard about Molcar's movie (my place is too isolated to get recent news) and watched the trailer. I was surprised that Otenko... I mean Otsuka did the voice. I also watched the collaboration trailer of Molcar and TF:BW live-action movie (which I've never heard of before as well) I found from the search result. I surprised Genda (who did Optimus' JP dub) did the voice. I guess I'm in their target age group. I'm so hap-pui though😉2025.1.5
Happy New Year!🎉 It was a busy end-of-year time but finally I could take a break this afternoon. I drew adult Carmilla yesterday for the greeting of year of the Snake. As I wrote on its description, I want to be able to draw 'grown-up' art this year. The alt computer I ordered should be delivered soon, so I'd like to setup my new digital drawing environment too. 2025.1.1
