The old Looney Tunes are public domain now so you can watch them on looneytunes.com. The older I get, the more I like them.

That's some good music.

Culture Clash



My crazy Japanese doll loves to drink beans.

Designer Girl Dolls

According to an article on this site: http://www.worldcollectorsnet.com/blythedolls/

When toy manufacturers saw the impact which the Blythe revival was creating, they rushed to translate the big-eyed, large-head syndrome into playdolls. A few years ago, Toy Depot introduced a range of Designer Girl dolls, which had wonderful eye movements similar to Blythe. These dolls came in four different hair colours, cerise, black and purple, but seem to have been totally shunned by Blythe enthusiasts as 'cheap copies'. Copies they may have been, but at £10 for a Blythe look-a-like, they were a good buy, and are certainly one to watch as a future investment. Today these dolls appear on the internet and in charity shops for a few pounds. Designer Girls, unlike Blythe, had eyebrows, and their mouths were thicker and their necks thinner. The plastic was more shiny, too, but, even so, with a bit of customising they could be made into attractive Blythe clones.

I tried searching for one online but I can't find any for sale or pictures. I didn't think I was a crappy google user so if anyone has any info on these I want to see one! I would probably buy one.

Edit: Eww gross I found them under the name "Little Big Eyes" and they are really uncute. I would never buy one!

I love autumn!



Here are some trees from today. I love seeing the leaves change, it is so different than where I am from.

Photo Manipulation

I recently started using this photo manipulation site Picnik. I really recommend it if you don't have Photoshop on your computer. I don't in my case because I have an early Mac mini and it would take up too much space. Anyway, Picnik can edit photos through your Flickr account or where ever else they might be hosted. Here's a simple change I did to a photo from yesterday. So here's a easy site for those looking for something to use.
