hi hi hi. whats up. been a hot minute. Let's Get Into That......

SO! if you're reading this it means Arcoleiris 2.0 is now up and running >:) hehehe...

this update is a total overhaul of my website. if you want a proper list of EVERY change made (inhales):

• TOTAL change in structure. i re-coded everything from the ground up and transplanted the old pages over 💪
• new logo! hand drawn instead of text design. my friend momo helped me with the design asides for the letters- she suggested i do something in the bg that slopes Down to balance out the uppercase letters. i think it worked great!!!!
• new navbar! no more of that ugly ass side bar!!!
• new homepage! the old layout was very barebones so i wanted something more simple and fun ^_^ i love the stamp marquee hehe
• about page tweaks! rewording things and new sections! yay!
• new journal page layout! i decided to try using an iframe to display journal entries instead of the old setup. i like it!!!!! i also edited a lot of past entries and even deleted one (just because its contents no longer apply and i didn't want a period of my life of so much questioning and uncertainty to stay up), was mostly just correcting a few things + swapping the dividers with basic horizontal rules
• links page updates!!! added a few things + finally started adding a few pages to my Other Neocities links

aaaand... that's about it for now!!! my next major goal is going to be to get either the shrines section or the gallery section up and running... i want all of my navbar buttons to be fully functional soon >:3c

what else is new... OH YEAH! i'm seeing apollo again soon ^_^ a little under a month from now!!! at lightbox expo again- i doubt anyone reading this will also be there but if you will be, feel free to say hi!!! we'll be attending all three days this time which is exciting Yippieeee

last year we had to leave early due to schedule conflicts, plus i only had a cane back then, so i had VERY little physical stamina. i remember on the second night i was so exhausted i had to lay in bed all night and apollo had to fetch everything for me because my body was just Completely wrecked. BUT!!!! this year i will have a wheelchair ^_^ so i hope we can get a lot more done with that all...

i particularly really want to go on dates with him Hehe... we had a nice little breakfast date last year, but i wanna actually sit down and have dinner with him this year!!!! we bookmarked like Every place of interest within range of the convention hall... I'm so excited. HEEHEE

i'm also pondering if i should get business cards in the weeks left until it happens... i could link to This Website perhaps oooo... i DO want to challenge myself to socialize at the expo more this year so. EEEE

OH YEAH time for videos WEEHEE. I've finished quite a few videos since my last entry soooooooo time to link them all with a brief description of each:

LOUIE BUTCHER VANITY: fun little after effects test i did in a single day ^_^ You didn't forget i love louie did you? Heehee... i do want to animate more of him, but i keep getting pulled every which way with project ideas... But for now: enjoy

OUTLAWS: an animation i did for apollo for art fight! these are some of his ocs from one of his projects he's been concepting for a couple years :3

MAKE MORE MESSY ART: a short but sweet commentary speedpaint with a bit of a journal flipthrough. basically me just talking about how you should let go a little and not strive so much for perfection!

NASTY DOG: silly animation for apollo and i's 5 year anniversary lol

OLD SKETCHBOOKS TOUR: is what it says

hoo boy that was a lot of videos. and i have another in the works about this very website!!! suppose i can link that next entry LOL
