			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now, look who&#8217;s here&#8230;</p>
<p>Man, it&#8217;s been a while. The best thing is that I really have quite a few things to write about. Cooking, music festivals, creations, travels&#8230; not to mention my Beloved One, but he will be featured in most of those topics, so be prepared :P.<br />
I just don&#8217;t have time to physically sit and write it all down. At the moment I have like four drafts and I can&#8217;t finish any of it. *sigh*<br />
[Damn, boyfriends really ARE time-consuming XD <3 <3 <3]</p>
<p>So what am I doing here, then?</p>
<h2>Twitter</h2>
<p>Yup, I can has a <a href="http://twitter.com/_daikirai_">Twitter</a> ;). I&#8217;m not quite sure if I&#8217;m going to write something there, though. As for now I use it only to follow others, designers or design-oriented websites, mostly. It&#8217;s really great for this purpose, you get a lot of useful information in one place.<br />
I guess I like the idea of miniblog. And it will come in handy when RT is up (&#8216;coz it will be up, someday &gt;_&gt;), it seems like a good way to keep people informed whether any of my sites has been updated. Espacially since it happens once in a very long while :P.</p>
<h2>Lazuri, again</h2>
<p>Since she is my favourite OC so far (and the only one which has been shown to anyone ;)) I decided to use her once again. This upcoming piece will probably be used for Radioactive Toy&#8217;s main theme. If the outcome will be satisfying, that is. Not much done so far, but I&#8217;ll let you take a look :).</p>
<blockquote><p>
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/yatta/face.jpg" rel="lightbox[zooey]" rel="lightbox-576"><img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/yatta/face.jpg" title="Zooey - face" class="mini-box" width="" height="130" /></a> <a href="/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/yatta/body.jpg" rel="lightbox[zooey]" rel="lightbox-576"><img alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/yatta/body.jpg" title="Zooey - body" class="mini-box" width="" height="130" /></a>
</p></blockquote>
<p>I know, I know, her hand sucks. I didn&#8217;t pay any attention to it, it&#8217;s more like &#8220;Hi, I&#8217;m Zooey&#8217;s hand and I&#8217;ll be placed here&#8221; XD.<br />
I&#8217;m quite happy with her other than that.</p>
<h2>Introducing: Shiriel</h2>
<p>Yey, my second OC in progress! Lazuri will always be my favourite, but I didn&#8217;t want to exploit her too much. So here&#8217;s my second girl, Shiriel. I came up with this name when I needed one for my World of Warcraft account (yeah&#8230; XD), but I don&#8217;t play anymore and I still like the name. It doesn&#8217;t have any meaning, it&#8217;s just a mix of Shi, japanese for death, since she was supposed to be fighting type of character and Ariel which I really like as a name.<br />
This is just a conceptual sketch.The only thing that -stays- is her face shape. The rest is a simply concept of colouring, because the first thing I came up with when started creating this character was colour-scheme ;).<br />
And I really can&#8217;t decide if I want her hair to be curly or straight&#8230; or what. </p>
<blockquote><p>

</p></blockquote>
<p>I guess I&#8217;m into profiles and half-profiles lately >_>. </p>
<h2>WARNING: Your mental health may be endangered ;D</h2>
<p>In the end, if you ever wondered WTF with this entry&#8217;s title, check this out:<br />
<b>[and remember, I warned you~!]</b><br />

<p>Oh, I guess I never mentioned it: I also have <a href="http://myanimelist.net/profile/Haava">My Anime List</a> if you&#8217;re interested ;).</p>
<p>This post seems a little bit messy, but oh well. I&#8217;m really going to TRY finish few more things sooner this time >_>. Yeah, try <3.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-258" title="Zooey-preview" src="http://vihainen.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/preview.jpg" alt="Zooey-preview" width="490" height="199" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A while ago a posted some WIPs of a vector of my OC Lazuri. So here she is, finally done.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As you can see her eyes have a different colour now. This shade of blue matches her perfectly and I didn&#8217;t want her to be mistaken with some sorry excuse for a vampire :P (Twilight Saga, anyone?). She does not sparkle, even though she&#8217;s a pirokinethic. So yeah, I will stick to this colour.</p>
<p>So, here&#8217;s the wallpaper featuring Zooey and done entirely in Illustrator. It&#8217;s also my little tribute to &#8220;Twin Peaks&#8221;. How? The quote (and this post&#8217;s title) has been taken from it. I must admit that it&#8217;s weird series, but I&#8217;ve seen both seasons and I love it.</p>
<blockquote><p>But back to subject, the wallpaper:<br />
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/wallpaper_fire-walk-with-me/1280x800.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox-255">1280&#215;800</a><br />
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/wallpaper_fire-walk-with-me/1440x900.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox-255">1440&#215;900</a><br />
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/wallpaper_fire-walk-with-me/1680x1050.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox-255">1680&#215;1050</a><br />
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/wallpaper_fire-walk-with-me/2560x1600.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox-255">2560&#215;1600</a><br />
Feel free to use it ;).</p></blockquote>
<p>I used this wallpaper as my project for Multimedia Software. I hope I pass &gt;_&gt;. My sourse file is a bit messy and has only one layer&#8230; mainly because Zooey has been created as a separate file, then grouped and put in the background file.</p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;ll see tomorrow ;).</p>
<p><strong>Side note:</strong> I&#8217;m messing around with this place quite a lot. I keep changing both sidebars, I changed the names of Pages and placed Archives as a separate Page as well.<br />
I guess I&#8217;ll keep using 3 coloums themes forever, simply because there&#8217;s a lot of stuff there and I really love the way Vi.net looks right now &lt;3.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seriously, I fail at blogging &gt;_&gt;.</p>
<p>The second term (or fourth, depending on how you count them&#8230;) started and it&#8217;s <em>hard</em>. There&#8217;s this thing called Econometrics. Mathematics, statistics, economics and probability in one. *dies* My brain simply turns into water every Tuesday.<br />
Fortunately, I&#8217;m at school three times a week and once a month Mondays are free~!<br />
<em>Un</em>fortunately, on every &#8220;free&#8221; day I&#8217;m supposed to be at work. Including weekends, sometimes. Well, my boss thinks that I should spent every afternoon working.<br />
I wonder for how long I&#8217;ll be working here&#8230; Since I got my promotion I&#8217;m being lectured 3 times per day just because. But well, that&#8217;s a subject for separate entry.</p>
<p>When it comes to entries, I have some things written and saved at home (since I no longer trust in WordPress&#8217; drafts), but I just don&#8217;t have time to sit and finish anything or make it sound decent.<br />
Ha ha, I bet everyone would love my MUSE review (which got deleted dammmmmmmmmmit!) if the actual review part consisted of &#8220;I love it you must listen to it it&#8217;s awesome omg I love muse &lt;3333&#8243;, right? XD So yeah, I deffinitely shall rephrase few things there ;D.</p>
<p>Besides I opened RT which has been even more dead than this place, but I&#8217;ve been working on something, actually. Vector of my OC Lazuri (done in Illustrator~ and yes, it is spelled with &#8220;R&#8221;).</p>

I will write more about it when I get it finished &lt;3.</p></blockquote>
<p>There are two more things which kept me busy for the last few weeks: books and video games.</p>
<p>As for the books, there&#8217;s a Polish writer Jacek Piekara. He wrote quite a few short stories (five books so far, 400+ pages each) about Holy Inquisition, or rather one of the inquisitors: Mordimer Madderdin. The thing is that the world Piekara created is a bit different than ours. It is a world where Jesus Christ didn&#8217;t die on the cross, but He descended it and, with the help of apostles, cold-bloodedly murdered half of Jerusalem (in Polish this &#8216;cold-bloodedly&#8217; part was said more pointedly, but I couldn&#8217;t find it in any of my dictionaries).<br />
I didn&#8217;t really want to even start reading it since I&#8217;m an atheist and this whole religious crap just doesn&#8217;t work for me, but I gave it a chance. And now I love it. I don&#8217;t know if there&#8217;s a point in writing anything else about it here, because most of you won&#8217;t read it anyway.<br />
It just kept me busy for quite some time. I really have been reading a lot lately. Piekara is just my latest obsession.</p>
<p>Now video games, or a game I should say. Heroes of Might and Magic III. It&#8217;s old, I know. I haven&#8217;t played it in quite a while and I&#8217;ve already forgot how playable it is. It&#8217;s all my sister&#8217;s fault! One day she asked me if I wouldn&#8217;t play with her as an ally. I agreed. Since that day I must finish at least one map per day x_x&#8221;. Still, it&#8217;s better than my Dungeon Siege obsession. I have been playing it for&#8230; four months? Day by day. Few hours per day.</p>
<p>Anyway, now you see that I had better things to do than blogging ;) (yeah, especially the last paragraph).<br />
Ok, I shall end by now, it&#8217;s time to at least <em>pretend</em> I&#8217;m actually working ^-^.</p>
