Welcome back! This will be a short note to let you know that I’m back The site is not a 100% finished, but with all the deadlines in sight it could easily take a few more weeks. Because of this and the fact that I was already blogging here I decided to upload the updated content and layout anyhow. I hope you digg it ^_^

Working with the new version of Wordpress (2.7 that is) was a breeze. But I can’t say the same from moving this content from a subfolder to the root (O_o). I made two mistakes, and let this be a lesson to you  ;

• Adjusting the settings in the admin in the folder when I had already moved the content… Of course, the admin had also been moved…
• The .htaccess file wasn’t moved along, because this fellow is playing hide and seek (read:invisible) on my server. Now the permalinks weren’t working. But thanks to a Google search and my last working braincells, it’s up again.
• The uploaded images through Wordpress also didn’t show up, because they linked to the old directory. Even though I updated the setting I had to manually adjust the image links, but thankfully it weren’t many.

I’ll be updating soon, please feel free to read the earlier blog entries below

Doronjo x Blythe

After my last purchased Blythe, a custom from Mr. Anai <3 I thought this would be it for a while. Untill I noticed this new girl. In my opinion she’s absoluteley gorgeous! A crossover between a superhero and retro gal, can a person ask for more?

The only downside is her hefty pricetag ~ about $ 185, but I so hope she’s not limited. In that case it would be just fine. I’m super happy that I got Ultimate Tour when she was just released and not for the price she’s going for today. Aside from that I do love PAM but I was too late at buying her for a “reasonable” price.

Here’s some more news about Doronjo x Blythe, you can find all specs and pictures at the official website.

Thank you to everyone for waiting!

Before we moved in here last year one of the first things we checked was the neighbourhood. In the Netherlands they like to pack all houses together in one area instead of spreading them, so getting to know your beighbours is an important factor in buying a home. The most common threat seemed to be a bar just around the corner. According to our building contractor this place would be filled with evil-doers, not to mention the noise…
So we decided to drive over one night and counted exactly… 1 person at the bar. Phew, everything seemed allright there. Later whe learned that the bar had switched owners a while ago and everything had gone smoothly from then on.

Next point of inspection; what are the neighbours like? Let’s see, at one side there lived a student upstairs who was pretty much to himself if he was even present at all. The neighbour on our other side seemed to be a cheerful man that wasn’t much around either, sometimes he visits us for a chat and a beer.
Last but not least we’ve got an older neighbour who, probably due to her age, talks very loudly and watches over the neighbourhood. She also couldn’t help but mention that she didn’t like what we did to the house namely replacing the old windows with newer isolated ones. It took me a while to like her again after that remark, but she’s actually quite funny ^_^

So far so good you might think. Well, asides from big trucks riding accross our streets around times when normal people sleep, it was. Untill last month, when they started rebuilding the house next to ours. The student moved out and a family moved in. These are the kind of parents that like to talk to their kid in a loud voice when they are outside. Unfortunately they will do so at a time where I’d still like to sleep. Since we are both freelancers and “nightowls” we’d like to go to bed past midnight. And now we get rudly awaken by the sound of voices, I can even recite what they are saying. Okay, okay, nothing a pair of earplugs (which we will be getting today) and going to bed a bit earlier can’t fix. Last night I even had a dream/nightmare about two families living next to us and they where outside all the time

Than there’s the first floor that still needs to be rented. It’s supposed to be an office but the owner already suggested that it could be used as a workshop for carpenters and such. Today we noticed the first interested people. And as much as I don’t like to judge a book by it’s cover, these people dind’t exactly look like they will be quiet office clerks. Oh my, I so hope it won’t get even more noisy in the house next to us. Especially since we work from home. I’m having a hard time concentrating on my work these last couple of weeks because of the rebuildment. Let alone if the noise would continue afterwards. Okay, think “The Secret” here… Please send a nice GRAPHICAL DESIGN DUO or STUDIO next to us. Thank you universe
