azurite*blink* Man, I'm out of it. I've seriously slept most of today. I technically woke up at 8am, fell back asleep and woke up again around 11am, had breakfast and stuff... Scott left shortly thereafter (oh yeah, he stayed over. Erin's over too, studying for her midterm, and I actually had to have Erin tell Baba and Grandpa that it was okay for me and Scott to share a room. I don't get the logic behind that, but whatever)... Did I mention Scott was surprisingly sweet and romantic (up until he pretty much hard-critiqued my cooking. You know, I USED to be good at making pancakes, but now... -_- I've learned my lesson: Never cook for Scott.
Anyway, I just conked out in the den after that-- and now it's almost 5pm (or it was when I first typed this sentence)! O_O I've been sleeping all day, yeesh. No Jo-Ann's or Michael's craft stores for me-- their sales are this COMING week. What pisses me off is that all the things Baba and I bought at Jo-Ann's last week are now on sale for cheaper! -_- Well, on the plus side, that means I can go back and get MORE for CHEAPER. Whee, crafty-side, here I come!
So I'm getting a fair number of reviews for DAA, despite it being R-rated, character-death-centric, and pretty angsty up to this point. The interesting thing I'd like to note is that several people who reviewed thought that I'd bring Téa back-- to either Battle City, Noah's VR World, or some place other than Duelist Kingdom. So people are enjoying my plot-twists as of yet? It'll only get more interesting from here on out. *grin*
But let me warn you all-- don't try to make predictions, I will circumvent them just because:
a) I can
b) I planned to in the first place
c) I'm evil (I have a note from Mamono saying so. You can't deny it! Bwaha!)
Oh, and I need help with something many of you may consider unimportant (as of right now, with all of my unfinished fics... be prepared for a monumental spoiler here, people. I'm feeling nice today):
How long should the sequel to WDKY, 'Circle of Seven' be? It's got to be at least 5 chapters (probably a lot more than that), but I'm hoping for LESS than WDKY's 36. Any ideas? Right now I have at least 5 definitely-slated chapters, including an honest-to-god Epilogue. But what about fillers? Give me some ideas here, people.
Also, does anyone know of a good site chock-full of Photoshop (-7) tutorials? I'm looking for one specifically that I stumbled on a long time ago, but I can't remember what to call the effect, let alone the website where I found it. It's sort of like a bubbles (or circles), but they progressively get smaller, and they're all connected to one another. I did a tutorial like that once, but it doesn't seem to be in my bookmarks. Tasukete, onegai shimasu! I'll see if I can find a printed example to scan, then I can post it up here. The only things I can think of to describe it are:
* Modern (you see it on a lot of bags and in BGs. I remember a Nike bag with it on there, I think)
* Splotches, Ink Blobs (that's kind of what they remind me of)
* Bubbles (they are perfect circles, though)
* Screentones (I looked, but I didn't find one like I'm thinking of)
...And, there was more to this entry, but LJ and Semagic both ate it. Meh.
