I'm an avid gamer, developer, reader, editor (writing), photographer, and love to cook. I also collect ball- and mechanical-joint dolls, so expect to see plenty of the photos I take!

Look who came in this week! The 1/12 scale Special Color Lace Cat from the Electronic Pet Game World series by #AdvocateFreedom. It was a long wait, but she's worth it!

She's adorable, and I have a lot of ideas for photo shoots as soon as the weather is agreeable!

Work is finally slowing, so I can really get into polishing the skills I need to replace our Sr. DBA when he retires this summer.

Bonus: more time to read! I started a new book by an author I adore, but could only read a few pages at a time due to how busy I've been.

This is an unpopular opinion nowadays, but I hate two-space tabbing in code. It's a pain to read with less-than-perfect vision, even with glasses.

Issues with width availability were solved when widescreen monitors became the norm 20+ years ago. Give your code space!

FE: Fortune’s Weave looks amazing! Don’t know much about Leda yet, but I assume she and Primrose (OT) would be best friends :)

The doctor would like to prescribe a large healing bun, fresh from the oven.

As often as I post my dolls with bread, I should get a bunny girl doll. Or at least some bunny ears. That way I can have a bun with my buns!

Retailers: "We'll rearrange our store to keep things new and interesting for our customers!"

Customers: "I can't find what I want and nobody is around to ask."

Also customers: "I'll just buy it on Amazon."

Retailers: *shocked Pikachu*

Seriously, why do I waste time with physical stores anymore?

Say it with me now: Just because other artists sometimes have lower prices doesn't mean that you should lower yours. In fact, if you can get away with it, please raise them until you reach what people will still pay. Stop devaluing yourself just because of toxic culture encouraging a race-to-bottom

I realized I never posted the pizza I made so I made it again tonight. It was a difficult task to convince myself to do so (it wasn't) but I did it anyway!

Behold! Pepperoni and jalapeno pizza! (...I forgot the onions this time.)

Hey guys~
As some of you may have noticed, the Space Maids Codex disappeared from my shop on Patreon due to copyright issues

So, I've decided to release the full Codex file for free as a way to share the work and love poured into it, and so you all can keep enjoying the maids!

I picked up a new sundress for Mirai and was planning on going to the park to shoot some photos today, but it's overcast with a 30-40 MPH (48-64 KM/h) wind and frequent gusts over 60 MPH (96 KM/h).

Perhaps some time this week, or next weekend!

Listen. If we get through this?

(And i do think we will get through this)

I hope a lot if you internalize how -easy- it is to just call your reps and give em a piece of your mind.

Theres more of US than there are those loudmouthed shitheads out there, we just gotta be loudmouths too.

I just had my first-ever #crumblcookies, a chocolate chunk cookie, and I think it'll be my last. It was too oily and tasted more like sweetened flour with cheap chocolate chips than an actual chocolate chip cookie. How are these so popular?

I take a _lot_ of photos of my dolls with food. I should probably invest in an apron and chef's outfit+hat for them at this point.

Here's Mirai, with some garlic bread!

Did you miss that yesterday was #おっぱいの日 and wondering why everyone is posting Bunny art today? Wouldn't it be nice if you could see when to post art and what hashtags are used?

I made a site to document all (that i know of) of the various JP themed-art days.

Looking for new doll clothes always comes with an initial shock.

My jeans cost $30-40. My dolls' jeans cost $60-80.
My shirts cost $20-25. My dolls' shirts cost $40-50.
It gets even worse with underclothes and shoes!

I really need to learn how to make my own doll clothes.

Things I realized I need for my dolls:

- Cat ear headbands.
- Cat tail accessories.
- Cat paw gloves.

If anyone has any recommendations on these in 1/3 scale, I'm all ears!

Trapped on a plane at #ohare #ord for over 2.5 hours. It's close to or at 90 F. There's no water left. We can't get off because there's nobody available to bring the ramp to us.

And now the captain just requested a doctor, nurse, or parametric because people are starting to suffer heat stroke.

I've entertained myself at #hpediscover today by walking in front of groups walking and staring at their phones, then crisscrossing the lane. They follow along and walk in zigzags behind me.

I've done this several times and it's humourous how people just follow the person walking in front of them.

"I'm too tall for carry-on..."

Mirai is a 1/3 scale doll, standing at 60 cm (24 inches) in height. The suitcase is a 54 cm (21 inch) carry-on suitcase with a 4 cm (1.5 inch) wheel base, making Mirai about 2 cm (1 inch) taller than it.

The start of today's DR Drill meeting was kind of fun.

Leader: "Today's disaster is that SAP had bought out AWS."
Person 2: "So... Our DR is to move to Azure?"
