It's about time I finished this, I know, but it took forever to froth. ^-^;; lol I can't believe I just typed a coffee reference. *helpless shrug* Well I did...moving right along. Here it is finally. This was a direct commandment from Akinarei. Put under an lj cut for sanities sake. Hey it is just over 1100 words. I hope you like it, because it definitely fits your requirements. ^-~ So without further ado, I give you "A Coversation about the Japanese"
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 15, 2008 is:
titivate \TIH-tuh-vayt\ verb
: to make or become smart or spruce
Example sentence:
"Work could undoubtedly be done on the show to titivate it for Broadway -- but the score will remain a problem, if not a liability." (Clive Barnes, The New York Post, August 13, 2000)
Did you know?
"Titivate," "spruce," "smarten," and "spiff" all mean "to make a person or thing neater or more attractive." "Titivate" often refers to making small additions or alterations in attire ("titivate the costume with sequins and other accessories") and can also be used figuratively, as in our example sentence. "Spruce up" is sometimes used for cosmetic changes or renovations that give the appearance of newness ("spruce up the house with new shutters and fresh paint before trying to sell it"). "Smarten up" and "spiff up" both mean to improve in appearance often by making more neat or stylish ("the tailor smartened up the suit with minor alterations"; "he needed some time to spiff himself up for the party"). The origins of "titivate" are uncertain, but it may have been formed from the English words "tidy" and "renovate."
They deleted an art of mine...on grounds of indecency or something. I drew this like a year or two ago so I didn't notice the delete-ification immediately...
I'm a little upset. It's not that bad. I've seen way worse on there, but what can you do, yeah?
I went through a phrase where I only drew naked people...because clothes were just too hard to draw or something once I got going.
They didn't delete my other nakey picture!!! I don't know whether to be happy or upset about that...
Well, in the other work they aren't holding each other...and I guess that has an impact on the decency factor or something. :/
I also drew feet really bad in those pics, too...
Okay, tell me, did this (warning: m/m slash) deserve to be deleted?
And this (warning: um, nudity?): is it really that much more decent than the previous one? Also, don't be weirded out by the lack of...bits...I wasn't sure how to draw them so I just left it blank...
First one is Sasuke and Naruto from Naruto.
Second is Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter from Harry Potter.
Three finals down! Two more to go! One of them isn't even a final at all XD - that final being for art which is a critique.
Speaking of which - I should start painting recreationally this weekend. *Looks for Haibara pic*
(Oh and this was the last thing I worked on in class - final pictures will be posted tomorrow?)
Anyway - this morning I baked a cake! A second successful attempt in defeating my fear of burning myself. I don't like heat - so I don't like the oven very much. I made one for mother's day and everyone luffed it ^^ (I have since convinced Candy she needs more cake and will be making 4-komas about it, it being cake.)
Imagine~~~

ok.
well i now have thoroughly blistered thumbs from playing katamari damancy.
the one on my left hand is huge and the other thumb is just red and sore.
no more katamari til this heals.
so i guess i'm cold turkey for a while =(
i totally hate the analog joysticks on the ps3 controller, I had a better time playing katamari on the psp because i just can't get the hang of the joysticks, would much rather have buttons. owie!
anyone else have this happen??

I'm not sure if I'd mentioned it on here or not, but last year, my friend Genie walked in the Atlanta Three-Day, a 60-mile marathon walk to help raise funds for breast cancer research. I thought that was pretty darned cool, so I signed up for this year's Three-Day. This week, training began in earnest--yesterday, I walked about 1.5 miles in WalMart, trying to find a decent pair of walking shoes. XD Today, I walked three miles on the track. The feet and ankles are complaining a bit--new shoes, old girl, that sort of thing--but other than that, I'm feeling pretty good, and I think three miles was a good starting point.
It's not that I'm worried about being able to walk 20 miles in a day. I am pretty sure that, if I had to, I could walk 20 miles tomorrow. The thing is that you have to be able to get up and do it again the next day, and again the day after that. ;)
You'll probably be hearing about training as it progresses, and when we have cool stuff going on I'll probably post about it, too. :) Among other things, I know we're raffling off a PRIUS! :) I want to win it. XD
In other news... not much going on, outside of working and sleeping. :) I did get to see last week's CSI and Supernatural; the former made me laugh and wonder who on the staff hates Cybill (or if there's anyone there who *doesn't*!), and the latter made me pass out. Halfway through the bit with the jogger, I had a fit of the vapors and had to lie down! So I guess that's a big win for Supernatural, if that's the kind of reaction they were going for. O.o;
Oh, and Naruto manga? I sincerely hope Sasuke's not buying that load of crap, and I still wonder where the hell the ninja cats come in. XD I keep thinking Kishimoto's hoping we've forgotten that brief segue into the realm of WTF, like "pay no attention to those ninja cats behind that curtain! It was all a bad dream! My Evil Twin took over that week, and by the time I escaped I was too late to stop that chapter from going to print!" XD
Also this week, I saw the latest Die Hard film and Sweeney Todd. And I rented Ocean's Thirteen, but haven't been able to *watch* it despite having had it on for three runs. I lose focus somewhere within the first 20 minutes.
And in cat news, all's well. I just realized the boy-cat has squeezed himself into the box my walking shoes came in. 3/4 of him does not fit in the box. XD
And Tzi-onna, you need to see these if you haven't already. XD
