Peanut Pics

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

I thought I would take the time to show you these absolutely adorable photos of our domesticated feline Peanut... and all the wonderful things she does.  This is her sleeping in her bed, which I had to bribe her with catnip to do:

This is the bed we bought her forever ago, probably a few months after we got her actually.  Since she never ever slept in it and basically looked at us like "Why would I sleep in that thing when I can sleep in your bed whenever the hell I want?"  So I started bribing her by sprinkling catnip over the bed.  She'd snuffle and rub and roll around and lick the nip and then curl up and pass out in a drugged catnippy haze.

Recently I caught her curled up on the pillow-pet Panda that I acquired one day at work. (Don't ask.) You could see her, see the panda, but not quite tell where one ended and the other started in the white areas.

By the way, you'll have to forgive the quality of these photos as they were taken with my cell phone because there aren't any batteries currently residing in my camera.  There were other needs for those batteries, like the remote control for the Wii or the remote for the tv needed changed.  I can't remember which now, but let's just say one of the things I'll be buying with some of my tax refund (if it ever gets here) will be some rechargeable batteries.  The ones I bought over 3 years ago are almost completely nonchargeable at this point.

Here's another photo of Peanut lying across my legs from the other night.  A friend of mine said I had made him cry (I keep teasing him that he has to send Peanut a 'child support check' since he thinks she's so cute and it hasn't gotten here yet.) I told him that Peanut had given up on ever getting her Kitty Support and has therefore decided to beg me for whatever she can get in return for keeping me warm.

That's our Peanut.. some days I think she forgets that she is supposed to beg her momma (Little Lady) for food, water, clean litter and love.  Then she pulls this cuteness crap on me and I end up taking photos of her and petting her and talking to her in a cutesy voice that would annoy even the most sweetest person in the universe.

I have to boot her off of my bed on a regular basis when I go to bed, sometimes twice in one night, because instead of sleeping (because she gets around 16 hours a day...) she wants to cuddle and purr right in your face all night long.  Only one time has this cat slept the night through in bed, at my feet, and I think that night she was possessed by the ghost of my cat, Velvet, when it happened.

Alright, you may go away from the cuteness of it all now and find your own furry fluffy animal and snuggle, pet, kiss and talk cutesy to it so it knows that you love him or her.  Make sure you give over some snacks, too, all animals need a little extra snacks during the winter for having to put up with us being stuck in the house more often with them (on those really bad days we absolutely refuse to go anywhere).  Goodnight all!

Chocolate Shake Blues

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

realshake.jpg Do you know these? The absolutely delicious and even cute shakes from McDonald’s? I’m sure if you aren’t lactose-intolerant or avoid fast food like the plague you’ve seen them (perhaps even in a commercial). After the day I had yesterday and started having today I decided a nice McCafe Chocolate Shake is exactly what the day called for. That’s not what I got. Want to see what I got? It might break your heart.

shake3.jpg When they gave me a shake, it was vanilla. I checked my receipt, yes I did order Chocolate, and said sorry, I ordered chocolate, not vanilla. This is the second time they’ve had some major screw ups (and I still haven’t gotten anything for free). So they remade it and gave me this. Do you see this? Does this look like that picture up there? No. They used to look like that though. I’m not entirely sure why they don’t now. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve had a chocolate shake there. It’s a huge deal when I get a shake…

Here are some other photos. shake2.jpgshake1.jpg Look in there. All I see is vanilla ice cream swirled with chocolate syrup and some whipped cream melted in there. It’s a lump of vanilla ice cream. They didn’t even blend the shake. I don’t know if they are getting lazy or if this particular restaurant is trying to push the smoothies instead of the milkshakes. Either way, I told them I wouldn’t be ordering them from there any longer. Their loss, my sadness. Later.

PhotoFun: Mosaic

So I found this really amazing (and pretty damn cool) tutorial over at Planet Photoshop for a Mosaic Design on a Photo. (Direct Link) The tutorial was pretty easy to follow and can probably be used on other types of photos, not just photos of people. Enjoy!

So the Little Lady and I decided to make Potato and Cheese Pierogies for dinner. A friend mentioned he seasons them and fries them so I went with that method. They turned out amazingly good. Absolutely delicious. This dinner will appear again on my table in the future.

Photoshop Help Wanted

I have a very good friend who checked his one-time use cameras when flying home. They went through the deep x-ray scanner at the airport and the images are covered in noise and have become quite pixelated because of this. I am looking for help in trying to clear them up and bring them back into a higher quality. (I think I broke twitter asking for help, but I’m not sure…)

Here is the first image that I have tried doing this on my own, this is the original: 14140007.jpg

If you click on it, it will pop open in a new window at full size (1545x1024) and I have enabled scrollbars and resizing for those who are interested in helping.

The photo is upside down, so I had to flip it 180 degrees. Then I duplicated the background layer and used multiply and I applied despeckle and then a gaussian blur at 1.0 to soften it. I also had to resize it due to it still look awful at full-size.

Any help regarding this would be appreciated. If there are professionals who are able to fix the photos I am sure my friend might be interested in reasonable rates. Feel free to contact me at mnlghtrose (at) gmail (dot) com.

Thank you.

So today I was feeling pretty darn crappy this morning as Demon Week kicked off yesterday and Second Day of Demon Week is always the worst to get through. I felt as if I wanted to simply rip people apart and that’s no way to leave the house. When I poured my second cup of coffee this morning I took a lovely pill invented to stuff the Demon back into her Dungeon. After drinking my second cup of coffee and Evony going down for a 15 maintenance session I decided a hot shower would do me some major good.

After the shower I felt so good I ended up doing full blown hair, makeup and nails. Yes, nails. I decided I wanted to wear the new sandals I bought ages ago when there was still this white stuff called ‘snow’ on the ground and hadn’t gotten to wear them yet. (Pffbt, sandals.. they have two inch heels, I don’t wear sandals what am I thinking??). They are a lot like my favorite ones I wore for years and finally gave to the child since she stretched out the straps with her full size larger feet.

I did not take a photo. The only differences are that instead of the stretchy straps they buckle (which almost makes me hate them because buckles are a pain in the tush for me) and instead of a glittery, silvery over the toes strap it’s a dark, shiny over the toes strap. They are nice and I love them (except the damn buckle). So I had to paint my toes in order to wear them because I hate my feet and they need decoration when wearing sandals. They didn’t turn out too bad either, but no, there won’t be photos… maybe another day. Just the one below:

About Chelle

Yeah, that's me! I am 25 34, I live in Northeast Ohio; I have one beautiful teenage daughter and one newly lovable cat. I enjoy reading, television, anime and annoying my daughter. I'm also trying to learn Japanese because I want to visit Japan someday. Yes, I'm over 30 and I like anime, do you have an issue with that?

About This Layout

This layout features a blending of Zen and Disillusioned. Everything is calm, tranquil, at peace. Yet, some days I feel very disillusioned about the reality around me because it doesn't contain these things, nor do I. There is so much chaos, so much anger and hate going around this world. It affects each and every one of us, like the movement of butterfly wings can cause tsunamis. The image used remains with the copyright of the owner. The font used is called Dali.
