Part 65
Friday, September 1, 2006, 1:03am: At LAST
we've turned the corner out of summer and into
Saturday, September 2, 2006, 12:42pm: The Wings of Love and Light is having a birthday party! Here are my pages devoted to that!
Monday, September 4, 2006, 5:33am: Happy Labor Day, everyone in the USA and Canada! I hope you're enjoying your extra day off work and that you've been having a great holiday weekend!
7:50am: I couldn't resist. I love autumn so much, so I added some more things to my Happy Fall! page.
Saturday, September 9, 2006, 6:07am: I *think* this might be the second-ever sig tag I've ever made. I made a much harder one several years ago, and I wasn't pleased with it. In fact, I don't even know where it is now. I did this one from a tutorial at The Way You Live. I had to find a very quick tutorial on how to make a watermark (because I had totally forgotten how to do that!), so I could add that too. I found that at Designs By Joy. So here is the first sig tag that I actually enjoyed making (I'm putting it in a frame here because it looks nicer on the page that way):
10:58pm: We just the sweetest,
funniest, most heartwarming Japanese Christmas film! It's called "Ghost Soup" is about a college student who moves during winter break, having to move into his new place earlier than expected. He arrives at his new apartment on Christmas Eve and has a lot of salespeople and annoying folks bothering him at his door while he's trying to unpack. Finally an odd couple, plus their three silent friends, show up and demand that they be allowed to put on the Christmas party they had already planned to have there when they thought the apartment would still be vacant. What ensues is funny, touching, and wonderful. I can't tell you any more because it would give too much away. But I know I'll want to start having this as a regular Christmas holiday film in our home from now on!
Sunday, September 10, 2006, 8:39am: Today is two special days!
Tuesday, September 12, 2006, 7:07am: Sorry this is a day late. I never do well with September 11th, my birthday...

7:31am: In book news: I read Running Out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix in a couple days. Now I am reading her much-more-interesting-to-me Turnabout.
Wednesday, September 13, 2006, 5:50pm: I got so many wonderful presents online for my birthday! Here are a few gifts from various folks (this page and the following page). And ALL THESE PRESENTS are from the great people at Web Town! I still have tons of presents from Wings of Love and Light and The Garden of Friendship to put up! That's going to take a while!
Thursday, September 14, 2006, 6:41am: Have you looked at my Spirit Flower Garden lately? Three potted flowers and three baskets of flowers have matured to total beauty!
Friday, September 15, 2006, 4:19pm: I'm taking classes at Malakye's PSP School. FUN! Here are some of my results, etc. More to come!
Sunday, September 17, 2006, 4:16am: I have the lovely birthday pages that were made for me by the Wings of Love and Light up now, plus other gifts they gave me. :-)
Monday, September 18, 2006, 2:16pm: More results from my PSP classes at Malakye's!
Friday, September 22, 2006, 7:47pm: I can't believe it! I won! I am a 3X NVE Grand Final Winner at Web Town web competition! Thank you, EVERYONE, for your support and votes! Go here to see my beautiful gold cup!
Sunday, September 24, 2006, 6:47am: Ooops, I'm a little late in wishing you all a:
I hope you're all enjoying the change of seasons (for you in the Southern Hemisphere, Springtime is here now!). I know *I* am! I LOVE Fall!! Be sure to see my Happy Fall! page. We had some fierce storms Friday night/Saturday morning, though! Our power was out from 2:15am to about 4:05am early Saturday. I just didn't open the refrigerator at ALL during this time, and afterwards got rid of old/questionable foods. :-P It was so amazingly quiet and dark all around the neighbourhood during the outage, as I drifted off to sleep. I awoke with the light on by my side of the bed shining in my eyes! I checked the stove clock and it was blinking 12:05am, so I knew the power had only been back on for five minutes. I turned off the battery-operated Coleman lantern in the kitchen, turned off a couple other lights, then went back to bed. Well, Mother Nature sure let us know about the turn of the seasons! :-P I was sorry to hear about more dangerous storms to the south of us, and the loss of life and property. My thoughts are with them....
Cat'r and I are both playing Pokémon Mystery Dungeon - Blue Rescue Team for the Nintendo DS (click on the picture at left to see it MUCH larger). I just couldn't figure it out, and the manuals and hint books were making it worse/more confusing and complicated! Then Cat'r brought his game up this weekend and showed me what to do. Easy! And fun! But I went to a dungeon before I was ready (Mt. Steel, I think it is), to try to rescue a Diglet. I fainted. I asked Cat'r to bring his team in to rescue me, and he did. :-) Now I'm working on leveling up some before I go back there again. Plus I'm gonna take lots of berries and such when I go again! Oh! I'm a Torchic and my partner is Squirtle. Cat'r is a Charmander and his partner is Chikorita. Neither of us chose the Red Rescue Team version of the game because that is for the GameBoy Advance platform, and we both really wanted to play it on the DS.
Tuesday, September 26, 2006, 7:32am:
I've joined the two Top Sites voting thingumees related to the two
web competitions I am in, so if you are inclined to vote for my site, please
be sure to vote there too. All the buttons you need to "mash" are on My
Voting Page. ::grin:: [EDIT Sept. 19, 2007: I have quit competing as
of today, so the Voting Page is no longer
there--thanks for all your support!]
Thursday, September 28, 2006, 5:54am: All my Spirit Flowers and Blooming Baskets have reached maturity and bloomed fully! Go see! Now I need more. :-P 4:58pm: Whoa, Bunnicula just told me about webring.com's plan to start charging for belonging to more than five webrings starting next year! So expect to see me getting out of a LOT of webrings in the very near future. Grrr! 6:56pm: All rightee then! I am now down from 60 (! ack! I didn't know I was in that many WebRing rings!) to just TWO. I am in many other webrings, but they are powered by RingSurf or Bravenet. And of course there is also The Rail, which is GREAT!
Saturday, September 30, 2006, 12:07pm: I wrote a new poem. Actually, I wrote two, but the other one won't be up until I make a Halloween page for this year. :-P Here is the one. It's about Halloween/Samhain, but more about this time of year in general. It's called Darktime.

. Dreaming of the turning of the leaves and the cooler temperatures, of shorter
days and crisp blue skies, of the crunch of leaves underfoot but also soft
drizzly grey days. How I miss the now-unlawful scent of burning leaves...well,
it wasn't so good if you had washing out on the line and the wind was coming
from the direction of the fire to your laundry! Eek! But autumn is my favourite
FAVOURITE time of year!
"Ghost Soup", and you just have to see it! You can buy it from
