We had a short spurt of unseasonably warm weather in the Seattle area, and Nis and I took advantage of this (and my new camera) with an impromptu trip to the beach. I hadn't visited DOA in two weeks when I posted this in the gallery. Hm.

Storm recently received some new clothes as a birthday gift - he's been with me one year! Hard to think this is my 2nd Christmas with my lovely, quiet one.

It's been snowing in Western Washington! I finally had some free time and a fresh blanket of snow, so I bundled up Nis and myself with the full intent of doing a snow-themed shoot! Little did I know it was snowing again . I braved some snow but it then started snowing even harder... T.T I'm not totally satisfied with the results, but I'm happy that I at least got out and did a little bit with my...

I've been tired from work a lot lately... I really want to show off the cute new shoes that were given as a gift for Nis, but I want to do a fun photoshoot and keep putting it off. Storm's 1-year birthday/anniversary is the 10th. I'd like to order him something nice to wear as a birthday present, but as things are going, I'm not sure how I'll manage Christmas for my living family. I'm liking...

What a great meet! Tons of dolls were in costume for this Halloween-themed get-together. As for my concern for the staff of Oasis, I tipped them $5 to assuage my guilt, hahaha. I was disappointed that this IH Cocori's skin tone didn't show well in the pictures, she was truly gorgeous. And check out that wicked scar modding by nezumitoo ....

I've been sick sick sick, so I decided to do a little photostory to cheer myself up. Storm: Uggggh... A small figure lands on Storm's back! Nis: I'm bored. Come play. Storm: Nnnnngh. Nis: What's wrong? Storm: Nothing, just feel a bit sick... Nis: Don't worry, I'll take care of you just as good as your big brother! And so... Nis: "Yuichi lovingly occupied...

I took Storm to the library as a special treat shortly before Nis arrived home - knowing that I might not be paying as much attention to him as usual after that. Then I ended up taking him to PAX rather than Nis anyway. >>; Anyway, I never got around to editing and posting the pictures, so here they are now. Excuse me. I'm trying to read Tsubasa here. Last week, I took Nis to...

I've found that doing these little shoots helps a lot with my moods. So even though everything about this shoot was less than ideal - I'm waiting for new eyes for Nis, and picking out a new wig when I get paid again, and perhaps more flattering clothes - I decided to post it. Besides, it was a major learning experience. MSDs have a tendency to look necky and awkward in a lot of pictures, so compensating...

I didn't expect these two to get along well. Come to find out that Nis clings to Storm like a limpet, and Storm feels very protective of the little one. They're not brothers - but they might as well be. I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood... And I know I could always be good To one who'll watch over me.

I haven't been feeling up to posting photoshoots or much else, but that doesn't mean I don't get out now and again. I went to Penny Arcade Expo 2008, which is basically a glorified gamer convention, and Storm tagged along. It's too bad it seems no one else showed up to meet-up, I was looking forward to seeing some since I typically don't get weekends off aside from conventions, so I never...
