pankunchi likes bread

As cute as that last layout was, I couldn't stand the colors much longer. So new one featuring a doodle of Pankunchi. Pankunchi is created by Sanrio and the local Sanrio store now carries some Pankunchi stationary, so cute! I hope this layout width isn't just enormous. I have a very large monitor so it looks good to me

I found out that Andrew can't call cell phones internationally from his grandmothers house. More sobbing ensues. It's only been a bit over a week and it's just felt like ages, it's been dragging on and on, uugh. I have too much free time now and nothing to do with it. If I play computer games my wrist starts to hurt, it hurts right now. I have had problems with it for a while now and it's pretty bad when I use the computer. I've got a lot of sewing projects to do, but I need to find good fabrics first.

On the bright side of things, my parents bought me a dress form! I love it! I dressed it up. I can not wait to finally start projects and have a form to use instead of constantly trying things on myself.


My car has been fixed and has been running very well. Although in the future it will need to go in and get some brackets replaced on the muffler so it doesn't fall off. It's been a great car, I've hardly had any issues with it. One time the battery died, but that was all. I try to take good care of it, and it gets me where I need to go. I'm sure I wouldn't mind having a hybrid or a vespa

lolitas break cars

scissor - kind
aching

Wah, the lolitas broke my car I'm just kidding, it just conveniently happened the day that we all got together to go to the Art Museum and have a picnic. I drove to the museum fine, and from there we went to downtown and it started acting funny. By night the brake light was on and my brakes hardly worked. I had to leave it overnight and today it was inspected but not fixed. The brake line needs changed.

To add to the sadness, the one person that could have made my bad car experience all better is now gone and will be gone for the entire summer Andy is in Taiwan to finish learning Mandarin, sigh... This summer is going to be miserable.

Here are some pictures of Saturday (click for larger size);

I also have these absolutely adoorable little shoes for sale because they are a bit too small for me.

It's June already? Yes, it's June and it is well beyond absurdly hot I returned from a moderately cool Pennsylvania and NYC to a scorching North Carolina. I enjoyed going home to visit my parents. Their pretty kitten is not a little kitten anymore, but a beautiful white and tabby adult cat who thinks she is still a kitten.
We took the train in NYC for a short overnight trip to go see the Yoshida Brothers and do some shopping. From the station we grabbed the nearest food to eat quickly since we were on a tight schedule! We stopped in at the big Sanrio store, and surprisingly I didn't buy a single thing! I like more San-X characters than your standard Hello Kitty. Then we headed to Kinokuniya where I stocked up on Cutie, Kera, Gothic Lolita Bibles and sewing magazines. I also snagged an adorable shirt and Andrew only found one CD - I didn't find any! They didn't carry bands that I'm interested in except Dir en grey, Kaggra and Janne Da Arc which I have plenty of already.
From there we headed to our hostel, which turned out to be exactly what we paid for It was $35 a night per person (hostels are generally inexpensive), and our room was a closet with a bed, shared bathrooms, and to top it all off - the walls on the rooms didn't even go all the way up to the ceiling! This was so they could easily ventilate each room without having to pay for air conditioning I assume. It was crummy, but it was a cheap and inexpensive place to sleep for one night in NYC. Not too bad of a place, honestly.
From there we had to get all pretty for the concert - this was a nice concert, we couldn't just go in our street clothes, pshaw! We had time to walk to Kid Robot and buy some little toys. We tried to walk as much as possible and take taxis as little as possible since we're not familiar with the subway system. By this time I was getting a little cold in my little dress and decided I needed something warmer, but I didn't take anything! So we're in SOHO trying to find a reasonably priced sweater, which was just a complete joke. I just wanted a Macy's or something! Stupid fancy boutiques and their fancy priced items. I bought a wool sweater, but I won't ever wear it again so I would like to sell it to someone who will wear it and enjoy it.
The theater was amazing! It was a dinner theater, and we had delicious food before the Yoshida Brothers played, yum!

Here are some recent photos. I also finished my corset! I'm so proud of it
