Hi everyone!I'm moving my base to Livejournal: evemaykill.livejournal.com . Update your links and come see me there!(I just got really frustrated with Blogger, especially when uploading photos. And sometimes even the text would start jumping all over the place and adding linebreaks and everything. But mostly it feels silly to have two journals. I'm still leaving this here in case I come up with

Stolen from Dan's blog:1. Pick up the nearest book.2. Open to page 123.3. Find the fifth sentence.4. Post the next three sentences.5. Tag five people and post a comment here once you post it to your blog so I can come see!I'm at work now (yeah, bad me), and the only book I have with me is Good Omens (by Gaiman and Pratchett, of course), which I am re-reading.On page 123 there's only four

Today started my third week at work. Yes, I got a job three weeks ago! I am a Flash Trainee at an e-learning company. "A trainee" because I'm not expected to know everything, but it's still a steady, not temporary, position with a normal paycheck (almost exactly what I got at my previous place). I make Flash animations, edit images and stuff.So, I spent about a week-two weeks honing my CV and

I redid Death-Teddy.net - layout and structure and stuff. I think it's more organized, and prettier, now. If you're interested, go take a look!Death-Teddy.netOn other news, I am still searching for a job. Plus, this is my 100th post to this Blog!

Hi! How's everyone doing?I recently got my hair cut (short), bought a cool new winter coat (black, to my knees), visited the Moomin museum with my sisters (learned that Snorkmaiden and Mymble think pirates are cool), visited the Korkeasaari/Helsinki zoo with my sisters and Juri (I loved the red pandas) and... what else? Not much, I guess!I'm going to go to a job interview this week, just for an

Mainly a copy-paste from my DeviantArt journal.I'm feeling creatively challenged, and have actually felt so for the longest time. I upload to my DA gallery every piece that I have finished, so you can see that I really don't draw much (sketches I mostly keep to myself, though). If you take a look at my gallery, you can see that I've mainly drawn gift art/requests of other people's characters,

In the spirit of Christmas, I will finally answer the book meme Dan tagged me to do. I know, I know, you have all been holding your breath until now.1. One book that changed your life: Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Weis-Hickman. The first fantasy book I read, and the beginning of many.2. One book you have read more than once: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban takes the lead, I presume.3.

Hi everyone!I thought I should finally make my return. Not the least of the reasons for this is that Vishal, I think I just accidentally deleted a Happy Birthday mail from you, since Yahoo thought it to be spam and had placed it in my bulk folder. So I never got to read it, but thanks and feel free to send the mail again or just comment here if you feel like repeating yourself. I had a fun

Hi everyone!Since I'm such an avid blogger, I have completely neglected to mention that I got a job about a month ago. I'm a graphic designer in a mobile phone software/content producer company. I haven't started yet, 'cause the work place is in Helsinki (the capital).I'm moving this Friday (Friday the 13th!), and that means I won't have the internet starting from then.

Or actually it is the same old website, just up in new place. So go visit death-teddy.net for all your Maija needs. Also now you can go visit Red Riding Hood's little business, the office of the Hood Girls (a.k.a. my graduation project that I never linked to).I promise I will answer Dan's meme the next time I write. Also, I've been wondering what to do with my LJ? I have one, you know. Perhaps

I had it on a friend's server, and the server broke down, so there.

The end of Wolf's Rain is like... on crack. What were the creators on? Or is my brain too limited to understand their great minds?Edit: Ok, I do understand some of it (just re-watched it when I wasn't dead-tired).

Up until now, the first screening date here in Finland was supposed to be today, 2.12, but when I went to check, it had mystically disappeared from every theater's list. After a moment of googling I found this message from Sandrew Metronome Finland:"Ennakkotiedoista poiketen elokuva saa näillä näkymin ensi-iltansa valitettavasti suoraan videolla. Päätöksen takana on kyseisen elokuvan

I am SO MAD right now. I ordered my copy of the new Harry Potter book ages ago, and a few days ago I got an email that said that I could go get it on Saturday the 16th from the place where it would be delivered. Well, I went there today and THEY DIDN'T HAVE the package! They said to come check again on MONDAY AFTERNOON! I ordered it a few months ago when I could've just gone and picked it up

I just saw the episode of Time Squad with Edgar Allan Poe in it. He wrote children's books and greeting cards instead of, well, the stuff he should be writing.I had lots of fun. I wanna see it again.

Dir en Grey's newest album, Withering to Death, is number 31 on Finland's official album chart! o_OTexhnolyzeLast night I was at the local club's anime night and saw the first six episodes of Texhnolyze. I didn't get very into it - at first one wasn't sure what was going on and there was interest, because I wanted to know what would happen and what was the link between these different people. But

Man, I was just sick for a week! That sucks. A week! I didn't do anything. Well, okay, I slept. It's just very annoying because there are things that you would like to do but you can't because you hurt/are tired/can't concentrate on anything. You know there are the usual ways of passing boring time, like internet or reading, but you can't even manage the strength to do those! So you just end up

I'm trying to decide whether to be a little pissed off or not. A person approached me via email saying that she liked my Elfwood gallery and asked if I'd be willing to do a request for her. I said yes, because I like drawing stuff for other people when I can't come up with anything on my own.This was a week and a half ago, about.

I changed the layout of my website, Mayakashi. Well actually I just changed the layout picture and the colours, but it cheered me up. I had grown tired of the last one. Well, the holidays are over. I got nice Christmas gifts and watched a lot of Buffy. And I played Hero Quest with my sisters. Yes, the old boardgame. ^_^ My friend Maija gave me a nice gift - a teapot. Not the kind where you can

I've had a nice long weekend. Last Friday I only had to be in school for a couple of hours to work on a cellphone comic project, and we also have today off because it is the Independence Day. I had my birthday yesterday. I and Juri sat under the blanket on the futon in our living room and watched two movies we had borrowed the day before. We watched Lost In Translation, which was okay, and a

It just didn't notice that there was a diskette inside. I couldn't get my nanovel to the computer. So we opened the case to see if the drive was connected. It was, and we wondered about it. Then, as

Of Quizes Which Johnny Depp character are you? Johnny Depp, the great man himself. Who is your inner Johnny Depp Character? brought to you by Quizilla Why does this always happen to me? When I did the quiz 'Which Jhonen Vasquez character are you?" I was "Jhonen Vasquez - you create all this fucked up shit". Apparently I cannot be a fictional character. ^_^ I don't mind that much.

Of success! I finished coloring a picture with Photoshop! It's up on my homepage in the original art section. It's an art trade I did with Luke McKay. He did his version of my Coal picture and I drew his characters Blue and Green. I'm really happy that I finished it, even though I managed to screw up with the last save and save the small version I had ment for a jpg on top of the original psd.

101 steps to get rid of your money Alright. I went and did it. This morning I ordered that Buffy collector's edition box set from Amazon.co.uk. It is about 202 euros + delivery, which I estimate to be a little under 10 euros - so, in total, a little under 212 euros (the box usually costs more, but this is a preordererer's discount). I thought it was a lot of money, but if I bought all these

Of Helsinki Comic Festival So, I was at the Helsinki Comic Festival last weekend. Jeff Smith was one of the guests of honour, so of course I went to listen. He didn't look anything like I had pictured him - I'd imagined him to be older, balder and with glasses. I learned that he was a friend of Neil Gaiman and Bryan Talbot, and began to wonder what Talbot looked like, since, as my sister pointed

Of sisters and hairdos I added my sis to the blogosphere: "give me oxygen". Before there had been a link to her homepage, but I changed it to her blog when she got a new one. Her last one had gone missing in action, perhaps due to the half a year when she didn't write to it when she didn't have internet access. I went to get a haircut yesterday. The barber got it wrong. It doesn't look bad, but

Of nice weather and turning Buffy-skeptics to Buffy-fanatics At last we have decent weather around here. The whole July it rained, poured. Some rivers in East/Middle Finland flooded, causing property damage. Not here, though. I didn't think there would be floods in Finland. But hey, there were in Sweden, so why not here? Okay, after the rain, when July turned to August, we suddenly got a heat

I could almost say I've forgotten all about blogging this summer. On occasion the thought would enter my mind ("Hey, I have a blog. Perhaps I should actually write to it?") and then desert me with equal speed. It all just slips my mind.   Many things have done that to me this summer. I should be doing a lot of things. As it seems, I'm not. I spend my time lazying about with my sisters or

Everyone, rejoice! I actually drew something last week! Four pictures, two of which can be found on my website. And heaven forbid, I even inked them! I never ink my drawings, which may be the reason why they always look unfinished and sketchy pencil-y things. Ink does something nice to a picture. I'm in love with the faun I drew. Can't help it. Sorry, fans. I think it's spring that makes me draw

I bought Beyond Good and Evil today, cheap. Hoping it will be fun. .... though I have yet to finish FFVIII, after.... what? One and a half years of playing? I played Kingdom Hearts in the middle there, and then didn't remember anything of FF, and had to start it all over again. Now I've played it to disk 2, and somehow stopped. The last time I got to disk 3. Don't know what's wrong with me.

And yes, I am talking about the weather. So what am I doing this grey, but still strangely light Sunday, when the streets of the city centre have gotten rid of all the snow, and are brown again?

To my surprise, I had managed to find a "real" job for myself, so I didn't have to stay at school and participate in some projects there. Real job in quotation marks because I don't get paid, this being just work practice. Anyway, for the past

My uneventful life perhaps doesn't crave to be archived for future generations. Who knows? Anyway, currently I am working on my portfolio/homepage website. It feels stupid not to have one.

..... I saw the Return of the King last night, three minutes after midnight. Whew. I'm a total Pippin fan in this movie. He is so sweet and cute, and I don't mean by appearance (at least not only). He has the best scenes, I think. The scenes with the hobbits are my favourites. Perhaps it's because they have such a strong bond of friendship and they are somewhat dependent on each other - Merry

45 005 words. Done. The first long story I've ever finished. Usually I stop writing right after the beginning. I feel strange. Now I'm off to fatten it up to make it eligible for the pretty purple winner bar.

Okay... I'm at 43 643 words now, and I have only the epilogue left to be written. After that I'm probably at 45 000 words. Then comes the problem of finding 5000 extra words to stuff somewhere! AND the fact that I have no clue what the epilogue contains is not helping either - What has happened to the band members? Is the band still there? Is it not? Gah, I don't know. Perhaps I'll write both and

I hit 40 000 in my Nanovel. Weehee! (throws confetti into the air.... only not really, I'm at school and have no confetti) Might write some more in the evening. Probably will, at least a thousand words. For the first time during the month I'm up to date with the "required" word count! It's a whole new feeling to me!

Just saw the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban teaser trailer. Now I've watched it seven times through, and a couple of times parts of it slowly (for example to see Lupin standing behind Neville in the boggart-sequence - he's not the bishounen he's supposed to be, but I knew that already). My favourite part is the moving poster of Sirius Black. Woo. There's this nice shift in the music

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. My comic The Fool can no longer be found in geocities. It's here. School gives us homepage space, I use it. No adds, no crappy "hourly data transfer" limits. Gah, I hate those. What? Why didn't I put the pages to the school's space in the first place? Because I'm stupid, that's why. Wow. Two entries on the same day. This is a record for me!

Alright. Should come up with a character to model for my 3ds Max course. It should be something simple enough so that I can get it ready by next week's Thursday, and at the same time something nifty enough so that I actually feel good doing it. It can't have fingers - that much I've decide. I won't do fingers. Or hair. Only crazy people would start modeling hair in the week time span with 3ds

Trying to figure out how to use a drawing tablet I have borrowed from my friend. Did a few sketches yesterday, the first that actually looked like something like my drawings. Still, it's even harder to get the proportions right (especially eyes the same size!) with a tablet than it is with normal pencil... The snow has melted. Hallelujah.

It's coooold. And we have snow (well, at the moment, after it has snowed, we practically only have stupid ice on the streets). Seriously, this isn't fun. Snow at the end of October? -10 degrees of celcius at the end of October. Something is wrong with the universe. At least I have a nifty new black wintercoat. ^_^

See, Tiina, I am writing. I finished Kingdom Hearts last week. It is a really nice feeling when you manage to play through a game. Not to mention that the game was too pretty! Especially the ending. Sigh. *And* especially the hidden secret ending! That was so cooool. I want to see it again, but then I would have to play through the last boss once again. It isn't that hard, but it would take an

I was in Helsinki last weekend visiting the annual comic book festival, because Neil Gaiman was there. He talked great things as always, and also managed to sign more books than I thought he could (as you can read in his journal). I got my Season of Mists signed. ^_^ I asked Neil about the scene in Neverwhere where Richard meets the Finnish girl at Trafalgar Square. I wanted to know why it was

The first week of school is over. Had scripting/dramaturgy, which was fun enough, though 4 days isn't even nearly enough time for a course like that. But what can I say? I am studying digital arts, whose main focus isn't scripting, so too bad. A quite laid-back teacher, who at least taught me that one is capable to write on command: "Theme: anger. Time: 10 minutes. Write!" Don't know if I'm able

Wow. I got a mod's choice the other day. Many thanks to Tiina's colouring skills and tired humour! ^_^ It's here. I know, I know. Everyone shout together: "What a lame-ass entry!"

Alright. About time I blogged again, even if it is just a short entry. I have done issues 1 and 2 of The Fool, and should be writing and drawing the script to issue 3. Instead, I'm adding finishing touches to 2 and planning the webpage for the comic. Well, it has something to do with the comic.... and I don't feel like writing a script. So I am a week behind schedule.... So what?

Ok. So now I am officially expected to do the first 3 or 4 issues of Damon's story this summer. I also receive money from it - two months' study grants, though I'm really doing it for three months. ^_^ Now I just have to actually *do* it. Scary. So far the issues are 1. stepping into the cafe, meeting a vampire (a new vampire character made up, and I'll change the cafe also into one of my own

So far in the Damon-comic region (my boyfriend just asked "What's Damon's comic region?" but I'm going to ignore him): I've decided that the story could be told in 7 or 8 issues, each with 24 pages. I looked to Sandman for help, and saw that at least Doll's House had 8 issues, 24 pages each (except the Cereal meeting thingie, which was over 30 pages). So 7 issues would make the story 168 pages

Ok. I'm not fuming anymore. I did make a gallery at Elfwood, only not in the scifi section. So now I have a fantasy gallery, because I think my fantasy drawings are more easily defined as fantasy, also by Elfwood's standards. I *did* get one pic rejected, but when I wrote a longer explanation to it, underlining the fantastic content on it, it got accepted. Now I'm left wondering if I should try

AAGH! Ok, so I won't join Elfwood, then. Okay, I joined, but won't make a gallery since my pictures "aren't modern fantasy"! I sent some nice pretty pictures of Damon and his friends and foes there and got a rejected ticket as a response. The reasons stated that "The pictures aren't modern fantasy. Simply saying that they are based on tarot cards doesn't count"! As I've written my novel quite a

I saw The Ark this Wednesday! It was pretty much like I had imagined it. I got the same "I'll bow down to you, oh great one" feeling from Ola Salo as I do from Frank-N-Furter. There was also this seventies glam appeal in it, which I can't resist. Apart from a few drunken idiots standing right behind me in the crowd and not realizing when they were clapping in rhythm that my head was on the way, I

I've now watched Trigun to the end (last Friday, to be exact). All I can say is Wow. I got another trauma from it, but I won't talk about that further to protect you from spoilers. Wolfwood's character design is one of the coolest I've seen in a long while. I love the guy. Wow. If you haven't seen Trigun, do that now. I don't care how. But see it.

Another week-long holiday is behind me. It sure doesn't feel like it. At least the course that started today is something interesting: 3d modeling (or something) with 3ds Max. But I think I will grow tired of it, since we have nothing else in 3 weeks! Well, let's hope I understand how it works and am able to have fun with it! (Yeah, here's hoping...) A move is ahead of us (me and Juri) again

Alucard is coooooooooool.... Integral is coooooooooool... 3 episodes left. Wanna. Going to Helsinki on Saturday to buy comics, yay! Have begun to work on my homepage. This concludes our newsflash.

So, I haven't written here in ages. I was in Pori on winter holiday, met my parents and siblings and ate a lot of chocolate. ^_^ Now school has started again and I'm actually writing this on a break. The weather is awful outside, it's not cold but it snowed so much this morning that it looked like white mist, some ghost reality or something. I'm glad that cars have lights, otherwise I would've

(Who would've guessed, it's the day after Buffy...) Feeling a bit sick. Going to see Rocky Horror again tomorrow. Although I'm sick I plan to dress slutty and halfnaked. ^_^ Samurai Jack starting today. I've watched a couple episodes from Cartoon Network in interesting colours (we haven't paid for it, but we can see it... blue). But today it officially begins in Finnish television. Yay!

Why is it that I always seem to write the day after Buffy? Well, now I won't rant about the series, I'm just saying that Spike is cool. And at least Subtv apparently realized they were showing Angel one episode out of sync with Buffy, so they didn't show an Angel episode last Sunday. Now that should be fixed. Our web designing course ended today. It was fun, but it's fun that it ended. The

Wow. The Buffy episode last night was awesome (here in Finland they're showing season four - we're show far behind because after season three they decided to first have a break and then show the whole series from the beginning and THEN start season four, at the same time starting Angel from season 1 to have it in sync with Buffy, though they had already shown Angel season 2!). Anyway, the episode
