Thought of the Day: Just for fun... I read in the newspaper that "supposedly" a study on chewing gum
showed that spearmint flavored gum produced the most mental activity. ^_^

Just finished my images for characters from Final Fantasy VII, for the information page
that I am designing - after the prototype Breath of Fire II information page I made
yesterday. And if I say so myself, the images are absolutely beautiful. I first had to go and trace around these basic
character images - and make them floaters. Then, I had to take these pictures that have the same characters in them
and scale them down, and then clone them, so that I could use the cloning brush to use only parts of the pictures, and make them
look sort of faded at the edges, to blend better with the background of the entire html page. It's probably taken me about five to six
hours now total to make those images and the test page that I'm working on. It's crazy - but I'm quite happy with the pictures for the most
part at this point. ^_^

Matsu Takako - Ashita Haru ga Kitara

Oooh. It's Friday the 13th! Creepy. ^_^ I created a Breath of Fire II information page this evening,
with all these images and such... It's sort of a prototype page for a possible new section on the site. And now I'm tired, and I've had enough of Fractal Painter for one night.
So, I'm going to sleep and I will look over my design again tomorrow after work.

Finished uploading all the new pages to the site - for now - except for the ones that I am still in the process of designing. I'm taking a break now - and I'm going to play Breath of Fire II.
Why is it that all these scary and disgusting movies happen to be on tv when it's time for dinner? Tonight, Stephen King's It and Species II were both on around the time we were ready for dinner. Last year I seem to recall
that X-Files always happened to be on around dinnertime on FX. Icky.

Finally uploaded most of the pictures for the new pages that I have, as well as the renovated ones. I can't believe it took around two hours just to upload a set of pictures - our internet connection is just way too slow... Anyway, the pictures
are now up, and most of the new pages are up for the site as well. However, I'm still in the middle of uploading the music section, and I've got quite a few more files to go - so the pages are not yet accessible.
Hopefully, tomorrow night the renovated site will all be up and working.
Well, I have to sleep now so that I can be ready for work tomorrow. I'll continue uploading tomorrow after work.

Started the art section of Sakura's Thoughts as an extension of the Soliloquies section of the page. Instead of just including writing in this section, it has been extended
to include art that I have made. I also finally decided on a titlebar for the art section - and it happened to be the first of the five titlebars I was choosing between. Slightly modified the Past mainpage, but
nothing has been archived at this point. Designed the bars that are found on the index page - the lines that separate these particular entries.
Nothing else interesting to add. Baked blueberry coffee cake this evening. Tomorrow morning I have to go to work, so I'm probably going to sleep soon. I still have yet to upload these pages online.
Listening to:
Yuki Kimura - Unbalance

All the music pages have undergone an entire reformatting - with the new color bars with sakura petals, and banners at the bottom of the page, as well as some additional text coloring. I'm quite tired of looking at
any of the music pages at this point - so the other part of the music section that I was planning to do today I have decided to put off until later. The other pages that already exist in other parts of the page have for the
most part been reformatted as well. Further additions to the profile page have been put off for now.
Designed a couple more pictures in Fractal Painter - I made a titlebar for the archive section, and one for the writing section, as well as several possible titlebars for the art section. I'm going blueberry picking now - but when I get back,
I'll try to work on the art section and decide on which titlebar I like best for that section. I should really try to start uploading some of the site tonight as well - considering that although I have all these pages made on my computer, the
version of the site that is actually online right now has only eight html pages I think.

Redesigned the index page - it looks quite a bit more colorful now in my opinion, and I like it! I've been working on the profile page, and I've found some digital art pictures of mine from
an art class I took last year - I'm planning to put them in the Soliloquies section of the page under an Art section that is yet to be created. I also went through
all the pages in the music section that I have made so far, and added my comments to the songs that I have lyrics for. I also added some more color to the text on those pages.

Ioli - Shenfa ~Song of The Bay...
