August -- Yyyyyyeah, August update is a little late. Partly procrastination and partly forgetfulness. But I did do some work in August. Mostly work you freaks prolly won't care about, but, freaks nonetheless. I updated some REALLY archaic information in the About Leda section, and still have a bit more work to go in there. I promise once I get that bullshit done I won't mess around in there again for a while. Art-lovers will be sad to know there's no new art right now, but that there could be some soon; I've done sketches, but no final works. The Art Studio itself is due for some updates pretty soon anyway, including its own FAQ and some tutorials. The Soapbox still isn't up yet mostly because I've lacked focus, so that's on the back burner for a while longer. There's a cache of screenshots I've meant to add to the Role Playing Realm for quite some time, but due to being bitchwork I just simply haven't, so that should be here sooner or later. (Don't even ask me about the RP fics.) I still have an ASSLOAD of work to do in the Comedy Club; for one I'm pretty far behind on my IM stuff, but there's still at least 3 sections I have yet to get off the ground. Those other sections probably won't come until I get this other bullshit off my agenda first. There's also going to be a whole other branch on the site sometime soon for my photography, as that's backing up quickly due to my digital camera.
July -- *snort* Oh my god, I'm such a loser, lmfao. I'm sitting here working on my website, and suddenly think, "..Did I ever update in July?" AHHHI'MTOOYOUNGFORALZHEIMERS!!! *murr* Well anyway, here's the belated update for July, lol. What I did in July was mostly humor stuff; there's new IM Convo pages up, and a little stupid funny thing in the Miscellaneous Funnies. I actually have a new big thing coming for humor, but that's going to be part of August's update. The biggest thing I did in July though would have to be my new animation cel gallery. I'd been considering opening up a Rubber Slug account for a long time, but finally did it last month, and I'm already toooootally addicted, lol. You can find my cel gallery in the About Leda section. As to what's happening in August, I just discovered a huge cache of screenshots I'd totally forgotten about, and I want to see if I can get the Soapbox at least partially up again. (I have so many articles to write, lol. Blah.) I also have a ton of even MORE IM snips coming because Burraki talks so damn much. I want to get a lot of work done in the About Leda section, too; that place is seriously in need of updated information, and there are new things I want to get added in there so I can just get it out of the way. Anyway, sorry about the lateness, the update just literally slipped my mind, lol. Ja!
6/30/05 -- Welp, I didn't get done with as much as I wanted to, but I did still get done with enough. (Maybe it's just me, but 39 hours a week is NOT "part time".) Probably the biggest pain in the ass to me, yet will get the least amount of attention from you, is that I finally got back on top of subdividing my adoptions (as well as adding a couple). Those fuckers were just too much for one page, so now there's 4 pages. But unless you intend to go and adopt some of your own, you don't give a damn. Something you may care about, however, is that there's a smidgeon of new art. I added a pic that I drew a while ago and forgot to post, as well as 2 new renditions. Sorry there's not more art from me, but given that I'll be spending 2 weekends in a motel room this month (no, not for that reason you perverts), I'll probably have a lot of free time on my hands and I intend to spend at least some of it drawing. And finally, there are also four new poems up in the Library. I don't know how popular my poetry is (or isn't), but for those that care, there they are. I also updated the Site Map, as it was getting a little behind the times, so that's all up to date now. Unfortunately, I'm not done with that fic or the new eps of LtGaV yet, but they are in progress, so it's just a matter of when the inspiration hits me. That's all for now, see ya next month.
6/8/05 -- BAHAHA, so much for "next Tuesday". Actually that update completely slipped my mind. That Tuesday is significant, though, because on that day one of the dumbest things ever happened to me: I got SICK in fucking MAY. Man I felt lame. In any case, I did indeed do some work on the site in April, albeit centralized in one place. I updated the IM Convo snippets. I think there's a new page in almost every section, as well as a new section. It's quite worth the look. I didn't get any site work done in May because of 2 things: the impending comic con, and the opening of Star Wars III. I thought things would quiet down after that, but then I started getting extra hours thrown at me at work, so I didn't have the long stretches of time I prefer for working on the site. I have, however, been working on some projects for the site. I've been writing a fanfic for one thing, as well as some more editorials for when the Soapbox gets up and running again. Anyway, so long as I have the hours I do at my job, my work on the site will be slow. Updates will probably get thinner than I'm accustomed to. However, I'm going to continue to change the update pics for each month, because that's at least one quick thing I can do for the site, lol. With any luck, my hours will go back down soon and I'll also finish my fic and/or reflections soon and get them posted.
...Oh yeah. XD I'm also working on about 3 new episodes of Letters to Goku and Vegeta. If any of you are fans of the series, start writing again, I need new letters. And PLEASE make them intelligent letters, I'm extremely tired of the ones that just say "ZOMFG VEGETA U R SO H0T!!11".

WINTER '05 -- Uh huh. I'm bad. I'm very bad. I'm horrible. Actually, I'm just really flakey. I've BEEN working on the site and everything, I just haven't been publicly announcing what it is I've been doing. I'm not quite sure why... Seriously, I don't know why. I just.. Haven't. Although I can say that there was a period from December to January where I just did not want to do webwork. I called it my "website vacation". Hey, I've dutifully updated this site every month for like three or four years, even I deserve to slack off once in a while.
So, what all's been updated, you ask? ... A whole mess of crap. I actually didn't write down all the specific updates I've made, but I can at least aim you in the right directions. I know there are updates in the Art Studio (in pics, doodles, renditions, and a new section for the comics I've drawn), the Sound Studio (I believe this is just for Zelda), the Manga Studio's been completely renovated (there's that new section for my comics, but also the old ones have had some small edits that I've wanted to make forever, so they're worth checking out again), the Library (I think that's just a poem), the Comedy Club (TONS of new IM convos, and a new section that archives the update pics & captions that I use), the Back Door (shit load of new links EVERYWHERE, in normal, stores, and humor), and probably some other miscellaneous crap I don't even remember. Just wander around for a while, you'll find those annoying New! tags sooner or later. Also, the Soap Box is now down for repairs. This place isn't just getting renovated, it's getting an entire fucking makeover, right down to the banner and background. I never liked the way that place looked... So I'm changing it. And, also.... I FINALLY HAVE MY OWN DOMAIN!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! It's just a forwarding domain, but still, I NOW OFFICIALLY OWN HTTP://WWW.LEDASTUDIOS.COM UNTIL 2010!!! Everyone who's linked to me, please update your links to this!! It's so prettyyyyyyy... *squeals*
I'm sure you've all also noticed that monstrosity of a banner I have at the top of the page. Well, I had to redo my banner because of my new domain, and I wanted to officially change the name of my site from Leda Chan's Anime Studio to Leda Studios (LCAS was good for when I was younger, but it's time to move on), so I wanted a whole new banner. Trouble is.... I have THE worst banner making skills on the planet. Seriously, wander around a while, you'll see what I mean. SO... If there's anyone out there who thinks they can make a spiffy banner for me, whip one up and e-mail it to me. If I like it, it'll get featured on the site, with credit AND a link to you (if you have a site)! I'm also thinking about doing a free pic commish as my thanks. We'll see. But anyway, send in those banners!! I need something better than that eyesore at the top of my page!!
And one last thing I'd like to mention is that you're not missing out on update pics because I'm a basketcase. No, I'm going to be posting FOUR update pics over one-week intervals to make up for the four months that've been silenced. The rotated pics can all be found in the new Update Caption Archive (Comedy Club) once they've had their turn.
Well, that's it. Hopefully I won't go on hiatus again. I really doubt I will, but, y'never know. See ya next month (I'm assuming)!
Oct. & Nov. '04 -- Oh my GOD, what an annoying couple of months. I actually had made some updates in October, but a couple of things got in my way. First of all, FreeWebs has taken away the ability to move or rename folders, but assured me it would return "soon". So I waited for this "soon" (which still has yet to arrive), but when it didn't arrive before the end of the month, I decided to write the update and worry about folders next month. It was at that time I was lucky enough to discover that I COULD NOT LOG INTO MY ACCOUNT FOR 2 WEEKS!! Ugh, GOD that got on my nerves. I was going out of my tiny mind not having an update written for October. In any case, things are for the most part alright, so I'm writing both months' updates at once.
October: 1 Screenshot in my section, a few quizzes, lots of new IM Convos (Goku, Quatre, Burraki, Others), and much in the Art section (8 pics, 1 doodle, 2 renditions).
November: 7 Links (3 normal, 4 humor), new section of IM Convos, and much newness in the Library. The fanfics are finally back up, and a brand new subsection for my poetry has made its debut. Also, and this is just a cosmetic thing, I renamed the directories for my art and writing to make them a little more... accurate. @_@ I swear it gave me carporal tunnel (I'm never going to be able to spell that right) in my index finger.
Well, that'll do for now. I still have big plans for the site, and they should go into action rapidly given that 1) I'm done waiting for FreeWebs, 2) I can actually get IN to the site, and 3) SKOOL'S ALMOST DONE!! XDDD See ya next month!
9/30/04 -- This is the thinnest update I have ever done. Hopefully, this is the thinnest update I will ever do. This is second to what is THE thinnest update possible. The thinnest I can do is 1 new item. Instead, I have done two. There are two new links in the Back Door. That's all I've added, and I did it about 5 minutes ago. The reason that this update is so small is, very simply, that I'm so tired. This new semester of school has been absolute hell, and I've been having a hard time adjusting to it; i.e., when I'm able to work on my website, I'm just not interested in working. However, this isn't to say that I didn't have things TO add, just that I didn't feel like adding them. I've got a bunch of art for one thing, and I'm still not finished renovating the humor/writing/many other sections (as my Agenda plainly shows), so there WILL be some things to look forward to. I'm just too damn tired to do them right now. Hey, I've been playing DDR all night, I just wanna sleeeeeep.
8/30/04 -- Oh, the joys of being a workaholic. I say that about myself pretty regularly, but I don't think it gets any more epitomized than this month. I did WAY more than usual this month. This update announcement's going to take me a while. Luckily, I have a list scribbled here in my notebook. *ahems*
First of all, I have off-site news: Gohan's and Piccolo's Power Pad and A Crappy Team Rocket Page have both been moved to new servers. The Power Pad has also undergone some streamlining and a LOT of updates. The Rocket Crap hasn't really had any updates, but I did fix a typo. Anyway, Power Pad fans need to head on over to the new site, it's better than ever and has had a lot of additions and improvements. I hope to keep that site more active than it has been lately. For those wondering, yes, A Little Bit of Nasty, A Whole Lot of Trunks will also be moving (with updates) sometime in the near future.
Now working from there, here's the new stuff you can see around here: First and foremost, the two projects that I'm able to work on at the Power Pad (Letters to Goku and Vegeta and the Interviews) have been moved to this site in the Library, and have been updated. The reason for this was partly because I wanted my own work on my own server, and partly because they're most likely to get worked on if they're here under my nose. However, this leads me to my next point, which is that the Studio Library is currently down for maintenance. Yes, you can still access the Interviews and Letters to G and V, just the rest of the fics are unavailable. Before you get mad at me, this was not intentional; while tweaking something else, the HTML sort of "collapsed", and I couldn't get it to work again right away. Since I needed to reorganize anyway, I figured I could start on it now and just be a little ahead of schedule. The other two new sections, however, are still available.
While I'm on the subject of sections going up and down, I'll now go on to announce that the Comedy Club is now back in action! It's not completely up and running yet; actually, it's at about the half-way point. However, the other things I still have to get up are pretty big projects that are probably going to take me a while, so I figured I'd open the simpler things first and then add the bigger ones as they're completed. You can find some old favorites in there, such as the What'd He Say??, as well as some new things like the Convo Snippets. There also is a new, separate page for Humor Links, which can also be access from the Back Door -- where, speaking of which, I've added some new links, taken out some dead ones, and updated existing ones. Might wanna check them out. In addition, the Name Puns have gotten a makeover to make navigation a bit easier, and if you can believe it, yet ANOTHER update. Where the HELL do these things keep coming from?!
Moving along to the Art Studio, there are all kinds of new things to be found. First of all, there are 6 new Pics (although 5 of them are old) and 9 new Doodles. In addition, there's an entirely new subsection for Renditions of my characters by other artists. I really recommend checking it out, because these artists have done some awesome work!
Winding down the update, there are a few other small additions. In the Role Playing Realm, there are 8 new Screenshots (2 Goku, 6 me), as well as something fairly momentous: the Profiles are actually DONE. Just brings us one step closer to getting the fics up! Elsewhere, there are 9 new Zelda Midis up in the Sound Studio (which I also hope to streamline soon). And, to wrap things up, I've made a couple of cosmetic updates to the Studio Message Board (which has been more active than usual lately), and I made my Agenda a sub-catagory of the Updates Archive. (The Agenda btw does have progress percentages, as I promised.)
WHEW. Dear god, I told you I did way too much this month. Considering that I did so much now and the fact that I just started SKOOL this week, I think I may take it easy a little next month. I don't know, we'll have to see. Anyway, enjoy the product of my blood, sweat and tears. Until next month!! *collapses and dies*
7/31/04 -- Had I known in advance just how much traveling I was going to be doing this month, I never would have done something so foolish as to predict I would finish revamping the humor section last month. As it turns out, I've barely made a dent in the section, because I just have not had the time to focus on work. However, given the fact that I'm now completely immobile because my mom has to use my car while she shops for a new one, it looks like Ima have plenty of time on my hands. Alas, my lack of working time has left me with very little to update with, and if there's anything I hate it's a puny update. So, to make up for what's not here, I'm also going to let you in on what will be in the near future. One of the first things I'd like to point out this update is an idea I'd kicked around a few times in the past and have finally made: Leda's Agenda. For those of you that get annoyed with what I do and don't post in the updates, you can now take a gander at the things I have lined up to work on. As for the rest of the site, I really don't have a lot to brag about. There are 43 new screenshots up (31 Goku, 9 Leda, 3 Other), so there's some good news. But, other than that all I've got is one new pic in the Art Studio and a mess of new kitties in my Adoptions. Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "Adoptions?? Who cares about adoptions, when are the RP fics going up goddemmit?!" Why, I'm so glad you asked! As of a few days ago I've started hacking away at them, and things are flying along nicely. With any luck the RPR should start taking more shape in the near future (see the Agenda for more details).
P.S. -- I'm also happy to announce that the man-hunt is over, and Sonia Anime has been found! No thanks to any of you for this feat, because she happened to trip over my site again by pure chance. So yay, I've regained contact with my long-lost buddy, and screw you all for not doing a damn thing to make it happen sooner. I shall now eat your souls with bacon.
6/21/04 -- I've really gotta stop updating and forgetting to mention it. I did this on Monday, so that's what the date's set to. Okay, first thing: There are 3 new pics in the Art Studio, and on a new page no less. There are 10 new midis, where by the way Fushigi Yugi has branched into its own page. (By the way, I counted the new Sonic midis from last update before I took down all the "New!" labels; there were 182. @_@) There's 23 new screenshots up in the Role Playing Realm -- 8 from me, 13 from Goku, and 2 miscellaneous. And to wrap things up, 4 new links and 1 new store. SHWAA!! Now I can get down to the REAL work! The Comedy Club is now officially down for renovations, and if all goes well should be back up and running (and better than ever) by the next update. Also, I'm aiming to have the Renditions page up by next update, so if you have art and haven't sent it in, please do so if you want to be included in the grand opening. Also, my sale page is going down for a bit as I update it with new junk I need to get rid of. That's all for now, see you all in July!!
5/31/04 -- Man, I feel like an idiot, lmao. I had this update done literally like two weeks ago, but totally brain farted about making the actual update KNOWN. Whoopsie, can we say Fruedian slip? Anyway, this update, while isolated in one section, is huge. The Sonic midi section has gotten a complete overhaul; for too long I had a ridiculously long scrolling list of midis with very little organization, and when I got this overwhelmingly huge amount of files to add, I knew I had to do something. SOOOOO... It's now subdivided by platform. As it currently stands, there are eight subsections, and depending on what new ones I get, it could expand into more. We'll just have to see. As for the files themselves, I honestly don't know right now how many new ones there are. I DO know it's well over 100. I'll pop back on a little later with a total headcount. Here's the really interesting (or pathetic) thing, though: I did this entire damn thing in 3 days. That's some craziness, lol. YAY FOR WORKAHOLISM!!! Now that I have this out of the way, my sights are set on the Comedy Club getting a similar overhaul. I also have a few articles to add to the Soapbox, but I'm probably going to hold that off for when it, too, gets a makeover. Stay tuned for changes, for I do believe you shall like them!! JA!!
4/28/04 -- The official update is being written! Man, have I got stuff to talk about. First of all, I want to mention a few changes in my updating style. I actually have been working on various things around the site all month. Literally. This is the longest update ever, lol. But I have to say, I rather like doing it this way. With it all spread out, it doesn't feel like WORK to make and update. So the first announcement tonight is that updates are no longer going to be done in the span of a couple hours in one night. I will be continually working on the site in chunks as I see fit, and just making an announcement once in a while to let you know what I've done since the last update. That'll be better for you guys too anyway, because you'll have more of a reason to keep coming back during the month. Maybe something will have changed or been updated.
Now beyond that, content! First of all, please note all the pretty new banners. Just like when I killed myself redoing all the buttons, I have equally killed myself redoing the banners. ...Actually, not equally, buttons are much more of a pain to make than banners. Moving along... There are a truck load of new screenshots for your viewing pleasure! (28 Goku, 23 me, 4 Other) And while I'm on the subject, those of you who are AniCappers, feel free to donate screenshots, this isn't an exclusive club. H'okay, next up, there's also a new wave of midis (4 Chrono Trigger, 4 Pokemon, 2 NiGHTS, 1 Sonic, 5 misc.). I actually am not done in there, but that's what I've got done so far, so you may want to hang around that section. For those that care, there are also a crapload of new quizzes and adoptions in the About Leda section. I know it's nothing huge, but some people like that.
Stay tuned to the site, because I've got a LOT of renovations coming up, including whole new sections, old sections coming back, and existing sections becoming better than ever! I've been (and am probably going to continue) working my ass off around here, and it's been a blast! Hope you guys like what you see, and will eventually see!
4/11/04 -- While I have been doing a lot of work around the site, as of yet I haven't added anything that's really of interest to visitors. The main reason for this is that I have an announcement I need to make. I've decided that I want to put up a page for the renditions people have drawn of my character(s), mostly to show appreciation for the work. I realized recently that I had enough pics that my fans had drawn of me to put up a page for it, but I also know that I don't have all of the pics people have drawn. SO, to all of you who have drawn me, or one of my other characters, I'd appreciate it if you contacted me right away, whether through e-mail, IM me on AIM, or note me on Deviant. Hopefully I'll have the new page up by the next update (which I'm still planning to do this month), but if not, maybe next.
ALSO NOTE, I need everyone's help on another matter. There is one person in particular that I know did two really great drawings for me, but I have discovered I no longer have either of them, since I think I lost them when my old comp crashed. She went by the name Sonia Anime, and this was her site (which she stopped updating last summer). I've sent her an e-mail and left her a message on YIM, but I have no idea if she even uses that screen name anymore. So also, if any of you know how to contact her, I would really really REALLY appreciate you helping me get in touch with her. That's all for right now; I'm still tinkering around with the mechanics of my site, but I do have actual content to add, which I will be doing soon. Thanks to anyone who can help or who sends in their renditions! Ja!
3/27/04 -- Dear god, I don't think updating has ever been a bigger pain in the ass. Dunno what it is, I just couldn't get motivated this time. I didn't even add all of the things I had ready to add because I just plain didn't feel like doing it. Ah who cares, you'll see 'em in April. First of all, I added an assload of midis to the Sound Studio -- 3 Dragon Ball, 4 Ranma, 5 Inu Yasha, 6 new Pokemon (which has now expanded into its own section), 14 new Miscellaneous, and 3 fixed Miscellaneous. Please remember to DOWNLOAD THE MIDI TO YOUR COMPUTER rather than upload it over and over again; that eats up my bandwidth, which I always go over on every month as it is. I suppose next in importance is that I added an editorial to the Soap Box, although not the one I had planned on adding. Once again, you'll see it in April. Then down from there I added a link to the Comedy Club (you've gotta check that out, it's funny as hell; be sure to go to the Bad Examples), and two links to the Back Door. There's also a couple of other random new things that no one's going to notice anyway, so I'm not even going to go into them. That's all I'm bothering to do for now; hopefully in April I won't be so swamped that I lose all desire to do almost anything. ALSO, my stuff is still for sale (things have been selling well, about half the things are gone), so don't forget to check that out. And for those of you that don't ever bother to actually read the payment options, I DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS, so don't think that not having one makes you ineligible to buy. H'okay, that's it. I'm tired as hell and am official done. LEDA OUT.
2/29/04 -- Man, and I thought I was cutting it close LAST month. Thank god for leap years. Okay, normal site business first. There's a bunch more I wanted to do for this update, but I just wasn't able to get all of it DONE done in time, so hopefully that stuff will be up next month. As for what IS done, we'll start with pics. There are 3 new drawings up in the Art Studio, which surprisingly enough cover a wide range of themes and emotions. There are a whooole lotta new screenshots up -- 9 from Goku, and a big ol' 25 from me! I've been hanging around there a little more often due to a new highly secretive Nijigen command, bwahaha... and NO, I'm not telling anyone. Also, there's a dozen or so new quizzes up that I took a while ago. And now, onto the really important stuff. My car needs new brakes, and as I still haven't found a new job, I don't have the money to pay for them. SO, I've wrestled a few things out of my materialistic fingers that are now for sale. I'm calling it my Anime Garage Sale. PLEASE at least look at what I'm selling, and if you don't see something that you want yourself, then at least pass the link along to someone who might. I (and my car) would really, REALLY appreciate it!! That's all for now; I'm hoping by next month to tie a few loose strings, and to finally get one of the missing RPR sections up and running. Ja!
12/25/03 -- Happy Presents Day! I decided to save my update for this wonderful holiday, because I'm in better spirits and don't mind working as much when I get stuff. (Hell, I'm putting off playing a new video game to do this!) First up for the art nuts: 2 new pics, 1 new doodle. There is also a fairly depressing one-page comic I did in the Manga Studio. Along with that one-pager is a little xmas gift to y'all: A new altered doujinshi! This time it's a Rurouni Kenshin comic, but unlike the others in there it's not from a book I own. I just happened to trip over these pages while hunting for a pic of the battoujutsu scene. There are also a few new funny screenshots in Goku's section (5 IC, 4 OOC), some updates at the Back Door, aaaaaaand... ANOTHER FREAKING NAME PUN!!! God, you'd think I'd have them all by now. That's all for the moment! I've got some more stuff on the horizon, and now that I'm unemployed again (whoops), I should have plenty of time to work on it. Toodle-loo!!
11/30/03 -- Alright, before you get pissed off at me for not updating until the last day of the month, consider two things: 1) My job is very nazi and I've rarely had time to do any real work on anything, and 2) this update would've come about a week ago if FreeWebs hadn't been upgrading around the same time as my computer connection crapping out. At any rate, I'm tired, hungry, and need to get to bed so I can get back up and go back to my concentration camp -- I mean, job -- in the morning, so I'm going to get right to the point. Here's what's new: 1 new midi, 5 new store links, 2 new site links, 2 new humor links, 1 new article, 6 new pics, and 3 new screenshots. I'm getting food and going to bed.
10/12/03 -- Man, I've been busting my ass on this update for about 48 hours straight. I have just about killed myself replacing EVERY button on this website. For your viewing pleasure, of course. Rejoice, my friends, because they're now much easier to read. I'm not saying they're perfect, they're still far from that, but they're legible anyway. As for content, there's fuckoff lot of new midis -- 70, in fact. There's a new Rurouni Kenshin section, a new Inu Yasha section, 11 new Ranma, 1 new Chrono, and 18 new miscellaneous. And I'd like to remind you guys to DOWNLOAD THE MIDI TO YOUR COMPUTER, then listen to it. Otherwise you guys will chew up my bandwidth REALLY fast and I'll have to go down for a while again. For you art fans, there are 3 new pics in the Art Studio, and my Michigan or Bust! pic is now in color. For the RPR fanatics there are some new screenshots to be read; most of them are Goku's, one is mine and one is miscellaneous. And last but not least, for you quiz nuts, I took a shitload more of them, so go to the About Me section and knock yourself out. I did plan on updating my links too, but I've been working waaaay to hard for the last two days and do not have the stamina to go any further. That's about all for this update, I don't even want to THINK of what I plan to have done for the next one yet. Ja!
9/11/03 -- Jebus, I've been putting this update off for over a week. Too much bitchwork, I tell ya. This update is mostly visual. I WAS going to have some audio to go with it, but unfortunately the midis will have to wait until next time. For this update, however, we've got new art! There are 7 new pics in the Art Studio, along with 1 old pic that's now in color. ...Actually, it's been in color for a long time, I've just never bothered to update its file. Yeah yeah.. Lazy. For more of your viewing pleasure, there are also 9 new screenshots up in the RPR (7 Goku, 2 me). Anyone who likes to listen to my speeches can head over to the Soap Box, since I put up another article. And for all of you that get as bored as I do and like to take online quizzes, there's an assload of new ones (don't know how many) in the About Me seciton. Also, my MB was down for a while, but it's up and running again, so you can head on over there if you want to. That's all for right now. The next update will probably bear midis, more art, and maybe some maps for the RPR. Ja!
8/10/03 -- Given that the last thing I was working on for this update has delayed me from actually DOING the update for 3 days, I've decided to just say fuck it and do it next update. This update would've come a LOT sooner, but the major item involved this time was a real bitch to do, and in my opinion is well worth your patience. But, as always, I'm starting with the smaller shit. Lesse, for starters with insignificant crap, I've done some minor meddling with the Art Studio and the Site Map, which I doubt anyone other than me is REALLY going to notice. Another addition that will go unnoticed (except maybe by Catherine) is that I took 3 more quizzes. On to slightly bigger fish, I've fixed 2 Name Puns, and have added 2 midis. Those midis were interesting, because one I'm not sure of its series, and the other I can't remember its name. There are also 3 new links out the Back Door for you to visit. And now, ladies and gentlemen... Put your hands together, because the SCREENSHOTS are now up and running!!! Appreciate that section, damn you, lol. There are close to 400 shots, divided and subdivided, along with 2 instructional pages. That's a LOT of organizing and a LOT of HTML to write. Finally, an update to the RPR you guys give a shit about, ne? Next on my agenda for that section is the Maps. Yeah yeah, still no fics, but I've already stated that those are going up last. That's all for now, though. See you next update!
7/4/03 -- HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!! I wanted to update today so I'd have an excuse to use this pic as the update pic, hehehe. I know it's actually a New Years pic, but it can work for the 4th, too. Updates!! I actually have something significant this time. But I'll start with the boring stuff, bwahaha. First of all, I did an overall update to the About Me section. The most significant thing is that I finally subdivided my Quiz Results page, since I've taken over 100 online quizzes, but pretty much everything's gotten a nip here or a tuck there. I also added yet another frickin' name pun. Yeesh, there a lot of those. But as for the significant thing... NEW RPR SECTION!!! Still not one of the missing ones, but I needed a break from those and got this up and running in the meantime. It's my index of Anime Cliches, whoo hoo!! It was a lot of fun to make, and hopefully with be a lot of fun for you guys to read. I've done some other smaller insignificant things around here too that don't really matter and aren't worth mentioning, so I'm not gonna. I'm still busting my ass on RPR sections; the Screenshots are about 2/3 of the way being done, the Maps aren't quite so close, but getting there, and I've also got another new section to put up in there. I know what you're thinking, and no, the fics still aren't going up yet. I know it makes me evil, but it also makes me perfectionist. I'm not putting them up until all the other sections are at least partially off the ground!! That's all for this update. If my timing's right, I might get another one in before the end of the month. Dunno, we'll have to wait and see. Happy independence day!
6/19/03 -- Whooo, so much to do, so little time to do it in. This update is relatively small, but mostly because I've been spending my time working on bigger fish. Namely, I've been focusing on getting the RPR up and running again. But, I digress. In this particular update, there are 8 new midis up (all in the miscellaneous section), 1 new pic in the Art Studio, and a bunch new stores in the Shopping Center part of the links. I had more I wanted to add, but to tell the truth I just didn't want to bother with it right now. It was just small stuff in the About Me section anyway. In the next update, I'm hoping to get at least a few pieces of the missing RPR sections up; I'm currently fixing and organizing screenshots, and doing my best to draw initially needed maps. Once I get those two sections up, the long-missing RP Fics will make their grand re-entrance. Why the huge delay you may ask? Eh, mostly because I'm anal retentive and have a lot of perfectionism issues, heh. But, anyways, I've been working hard, hopefully next month I'll be able to reap what I've sown! Ja!
5/13/03 -- Holy shit, I'm doing this stupid update at 4:20 in the morning. The things I do for you people! Aaaaanyway, here's what's new. First of all, big update to the long-neglected Art Studio: 20 new pics, as well as a couple other little new features there. I've also made an update to my little Clan, and did a good overhaul of the links. Man, I really neglect that section. Probably I need to re-write some of those site descriptions, but I am so not doing that right now. The link update isn't just limited to the Back Door; there's a new store and a couple new links in the Comedy Club. And aside from all that, I also added some images to the Site Map to spruce it up a little bit and took a few more quizzes. Comic con's this weekend, so I'll finally be able to stop worrying about that and my damn costume and might be able to work more on my sites! Whoooooo!
4/20/03 -- Haha!! My favorite of all dates!! Once again, this update is late, and I apologize. Too much shit going on IRL. Actually, a lot of this stuff was added to the site quite a while ago, but I just never made a formal update. Anyways, though, here's what's new: I suppose the most significant addition is the fact that I got the Namek Text up in Speaking Namek 101 (located in the RPR). Everyone please at the very least go check it out, because that was a real bitch to do and I busted my ass on it. Another great addition to the site is the new Site Map, something that I've wanted to make for eons and finally have! Hopefully now people won't be getting lost around here. And if you can believe it, I've made another freaking Name Pun update -- 22 new ones, to be exact. Freaking name puns, where do they keep coming from?? As per usual, they're mostly ones I either just discovered, tripped over, or suddenly realized weren't already on the list. On a smaller note, I adopted a shitload of extremely cute anime kitties, and took a few more quizzes (as if any of you care). Now for the really cool news: MY SITE WON ITS THIRD AWARD!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Bask in my awesomeness!! ^_^ All three preceeding additions can be found in the About Me section. As far as things to look forward to, I've got a LOT planned for here, but with all that's going on IRL, I'm not sure when it's going to get done. But whenever it does, keep your eyes peeled for a massive art update, new edited mangas, part three of Minute Men, and the screenshot section to finally make its reappearance in the RPR. That's all for now folks. Happy Easter!!
3/20/03 -- Meh, I would've done this like two weeks ago, but the 'net connection at this new place really blows goat cheese. It's been behaving really nicely today, so I managed to get some work done. Alright, probably the main event is that there are two new stories up in the Manga Studio. Appreciate them, too, because I think I hurt my film comic scanning them... But hey, they're in color, whoo. Um, in the About Me section there's been a slight modification to the Stats page for better presentation, and I took another quiz. I also added a little bit to the RPR FAQ, and did a few other nips and tucks around the site. With any luck, I ought to have another update in fairly soon, 'cause I've got a lot of work to do here. Ja.
2/24/03 -- Whoo! I've been wanting to do this update for like a week! The main target of this update is something I'm very proud of. I recently realized that the poor neglected Speaking Namek 101 section hadn't been updated in eons, and needed a SERIOUS overhaul. So... that's exactly what I did! I about killed myself, but the Namek 101 section of the Role Playing Realm has received a huge makeover, with over 400 words in each dictionary, and now an additional section that catagorizes words into groups for easier reference. There's another piece that I have yet to add to the Namek 101 puzzle, but I can't do it just yet. That, unfortunately, is going to have to wait until after I finish moving IRL. As for the rest of the update, there's a new link in the RPR, a new link out the Back Door, and also a new link in the Shopping Center. At the Soap Box, I took advantage of my new scanner and scanned in all the stuff that I got from Sonny Strait, hehe. Oh, and probably partially significant, is that the Library has a new color scheme. I always hated that it had the same colors as the RPR, and I've been meaning to change it for like a month, and now I finally have! Yay! And I think there's some new quiz results in the About Me section... I dunno, you can check, lol.
1/21/03 -- Crank up those speakers, because the majority of this update is in the Sound Studio! There are 23 new midis up, including two new sections!! Whoo whoo!! My next goal for the Sound Studio is to get the freakin' Sonic midis organzied. I've been wanting to do that for months, but haven't been focused enough. I should be able to make that happen soon, though. As for other little miscellaneous things for this update, I've been screwing around a lot in the About Me section (mostly by taking personality tests, lol) and have been going to town in the Role Playing Realm tying some loose strings. With any luck the missing sections will be up and running soon. And even though I have some pics, we just got a new scanner and I still don't know how to work it, lol. That's all for now peoples. Ja!
1/11/03 -- Happy new year, everyone!! I'd been meaning to make this update for a few days, but there was one thing I really wanted to be part of it, and now it's done and here! Okay, probably the biggest news is for the fanfic readers: part 2 of my epic Minute Men has finally been added! And part 3 shouldn't be too far behind it. There is also a new rant up in the Studio Soapbox, and if you can believe it I've actually added two more Name Puns! (Heh, pays to re-watch movies, I guess.) Then there's some smaller miscellaneous stuff, such as some new quizz results and an update to the favorites in the About Me section, as well as a new subsection about my Clan. (Hey, you wanna know what I'm talking about, check it out then.) And, finally, there are three new ways to escape out the Back Door. I've got some pics coming up soon, so you can look for that in the next update. Ja ne!
12/11/02 -- Hey, I actually DID update the Power Pad before this place this time!! Alright!! But screw that, let's see what I actually did here. Let's see, there's 4 new midis up in the Sound Studio for starters. I added some information to the Stats page of the About Me section too. And if you can believe it, I actually added 3 more frickin' Name Puns to the Comedy Club! Where the HELL are these all still coming from?! (Actually in this case it was 2 that I just suddenly realized weren't on the list and 1 that I recently learned.) I also got the Anime Studio a new guestbook. I've been tired of the old one for quite some time.
One more important note: Leda's doing auctions again!! Just in time for the holidays!! You can find my auctions in the About Leda section. In the meantime, my birthday is in 3 days and my house is going to be overrun with my friends, as this will be my last birthday here before I move to the other side of the state. Buy my stuff!! I need money!! Ja!!
POST SCRIPT: 12/12/02 -- I've FINALLY found a decent message board!! About freaking time!! My god my old one was so ugly. I totally love my new board. And I modeled it after my spiffy new guestbook 'cause I love that so much too! Hehe, now everyone go sign my board! EHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!
11/23/02 -- Yeah, I know I promised to update the Power Pad again before this place, but I've got nothing for the Pad and plenty for here. Sorry, I'll get to work on those interviews right away. As for this place, there are 3 new pics up in the Art Studio, as well as a new comic up in the Manga Studio. Hehe, I really think you'll like this one. And, as a little bonus, for those of you that have been bugging me to post a real pic of myself, I've finally put up a real pic somewhere on the site. (Hey, finding it is your problem.) Okay, I'm really actually gonna update the Power Pad next, lol. Ja!
11/10/02 -- Whoooo, the Anime Studio's finally back up and running!!! Took freakin' long enough, didn't it? But I think it was definately worth the wait. My new server is fabulous!! Almost every section has an update, or if not an update it's been tweaked a little. Just look around, there's new shit everywhere: new midis, new pics, even new name puns. Plus, there are a couple of brand new sections, the Role Playing Realm has gotten a LOT better looking and more organized, and (probably my greatest pride of all) I HAVE PRETTY NEW BUTTONS!!! This is what I've always wanted for my website, an attractive layout! Cool-looking buttons that are all the same size, ahhh...
I still have some work to do in here and things I want to add, but it's able to wait; I promised the Power Pad I'd throw another update at it, so I'm going to work there a little while and then head back here. Also, please note!: My other long-lost websites have finally gotten back online, so now they can start receiving visitors too!! Check 'em out!!
