movable type has been giving me trouble when i tried updating to the new beta. it was also running pretty slow, so i decided to try out wordpress. which is much faster and better.

so now i’ll be working on the style as well as making sure the posts are all working right

it’s been a while since i’ve added any entries to my site. once again i blame the lazy self i seem to have become but the other day–or was it last night? i looked at my site and noticed how i haven’t added any new art for a while, or updated much of anything on the site. so i thought i should plan out some ideas, and also work on artwork and clothing designs. then when i was trying to fall asleep, i thought about an idea (which i just now remembered again) of creating a character or two and have them “model” the clothing designs i come up with. since i enjoy doing both character drawing and coming up with different clothing styles. hmm, does that sound too weird though? i’ll try it regardless but first i’m nearing completion of Enchanted Arms for the Xbox 360 which seems to be taking up a lot of my free time–or am i giving it a lot of my free time? i need to force myself out of this laziness state and start working at my goals

last night in Japan, and this morning here in the US, Nintendo announced all the info about its new game system, the Wii. the system will cost $250 and come with Wii Sports which has 5 different sports games. it will be in stores november 19th, and likely be sold out before the day ends depending on how many systems they ship out i hope to be able to find one–it looks fun and less than half the price of PlayStation 3

i just picked up the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XI. it comes with the new expansion pack as well as all the other expansion packs. i had quit the game for almost a year, but then a free beta test version of the game for Xbox 360 came out a few months ago that i tried and got hooked on i’ve been curious about the new areas and new character jobs in the expansion pack. i’ll be installing it tonight and trying it out

i just picked up this new Nintendo DS game called Brain Age. it supposedly can figure out your “brain age” by completing many different puzzle thinking games. i haven’t tried it out yet (just got it while out at lunch), but it seems pretty cool. i love thinking puzzle games. it also comes with Sudoku which has become pretty popular. i’ll try it tonight

i can’t wait for the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie to come out–it comes out July 7th (so far away). and supposedly there’ll be a 3rd one after this 2nd one, Dead Man’s Chest i loved the first one–a great blend of adventure and comedy i thought.

Microsoft just announced a HD DVD External Drive for the Xbox 360. No word if it’ll play games or just movies… More info here.

i’ve seen this sudoku game here and there but never tried it until my mom sent me a link to an online version of the number puzzle. i tried it and couldn’t put it down until i finished it. the site has 4 difficulty levels–i spent a few hours on the extremely tough “evil” level

finally got the better .com domain back for my website still trying to tweak/fix everything (like why it won’t save entries/templates anymore…) hopefully it’ll all be up and running shortly

lots of new interesting (to me) games have come out recently:

We Love Katamari - played it a little bit–feels just like the previous game..
Lunar: Dragon Song - still want to pick this up
Trace Memory - might get this one. looks like a mystery puzzle adventure like Myst
Burnout: Revenge - i’m currently hooked on this game. lotsa fun!
Nintendogs - i wanna get the Lab version

i’m going to try to start inking and coloring my sketches that have been piling up. i have 35 to ink and color… and about 5 more sketches to finish the pencils. maybe i’ll just do an all inking marathon
