Daddy Daughter Days: The End of an Era

 2 years ago, this blog was created. The reason being my dad was taking a break from Facebook, and he decided to go back to his roots to the old glory days of blogging. He had an old blog he ran from the 2000s until about 2011 or so and occasionally posted there. Then I looked at the blog when he started posting there again and stumbled upon an old post when we had a little tradition called "Father Daughter Friday" from when I was a kid (about 3 and a half-4 or so) where one of my dad's old work schedules gave him a 3 day weekend (Friday-Sunday). So we'd spend that Friday driving around to different places that we liked going to. The most common being the park, library, and Krispy Kreme (too bad we don't have any where we currently live). A while later, my dad got a new job and Father Daughter Days were moved to Saturdays instead, and it has been that way ever since.


Well a month ago, my dad came to the agreement that I was old enough to join the book of many faces. My mom wasn't on board with this when dad brought it up to her. But he simply told her that I wasn't a teenager anymore and that I'm mature enough to be on this particular social media platform. ...And we also had a deal that if I wasn't the target of an online argument for a year, I could have my own account (that's a story I will NEVER get into on here). And now that I've been on there, and my dad returning to Facebook back in February. ...I really don't see a reason to continue this blog. 


Blogging on this site was fun, sure. But it no longer has the original purpose from when it was created. So it is with a heavy heart, I come to announce that we will no longer be doing daily blogs on here. We're still keeping this page up, sure. But we just don't see a point in continuing. Thank you for reading.


-Father and Daughter.

Daddy Daughter Days: Internet Update

 Internet is still out on our desktop. We're gonna be making a few phone calls tomorrow, but needless to say, I'll e making an MP4 file of what I have saved so far of my project I've been grinding at in case we have to get a new computer all together. Which I hope that isn't the case.


Either way, we'll keep you posted.

Daddy Daughter Days: Falalalala la FUCK THIS SHIT!

 The internet isn't working on our desktop computer in the basement, so I am typing this post on our family laptop. Dad tried to fix it earlier, but it went nowhere. So we're gonna try and scope things out tomorrow after we've opened presents.


Might as well check Marketplace messages while I'm on here.

Daddy Daughter Days: Bears A Plenty!

 Someone came to me on Marketplace asking to buy a few Build a Bears off me. Not the two whole lots, just 3 specific bears from that lot. The customer told me she's having a baby soon and wanted to buy some stuff for the nursery. So I figured $10 a bear, I'll give them to her for $30. This won't affect either lot that much since it's only 3 Build a Bears. 


Then someone tried to lowball me on a Calico Critter item.


Will keep you posted on the possible exchange.

Daddy Daughter Days: A Little Help Here?

 I was talking in the server for the Kevin Spencer collab and asked what the ratio is supposed to be for the video. The host told me it's 16:9 and I thought "gee. That's really small." And by small, I mean THIS! 


Do you think you could help me with the frame ratio tonight when I'm done animating, dad?

Sure! try setting the size to 1600 x 900 pixels, maybe? We'll look into it tonight.

Daddy Daughter Days: Another Day, Another Collab

 Well someone is hosting a Kevin Spencer reanimated project. I just submitted me demo reel and currently waiting to see if the host thinks I'm a good fit for the project. Fingers crossed I get in.


UPDATE: I'm in!

Daddy Daughter Days: Another Day of Dread

 I have a consultation with an oral surgeon this afternoon. Basically, my wisdom teeth are growing in (and one extra tooth that never grew is still stuck) and we're looking for someone to put me out COMPLETELY during surgery. This being because of a traumatic experience from when I had teeth pulled a few years ago that has since made me afraid of ever doing surgery like that again. If we don't like this guy, we're just not gonna bother. 

TOMORROW!

I drew Mr. Boss' unnamed jellybean child in the thumbnail btw... Just an FYI.

Daddy Daughter Days: Not MY Strongsuit BUT-

 Dad and I are going to a free "Introduction to Improv" class next month. If I like it, I'll consider signing up for paid classes.

Daddy Daughter Days: Let The Fun Begin

Got two Christmas parties this week. One at a program I've been going to with a friend, and the other being at my furmeet. I have to wrap up my gift for the "Christmas Chaos" exchange yet. And apparently our food pantry manager's daughter is interested in attending the second one. I gave said daughter the details the other night and hope she can make it if possible.

It's the first Sunday of the month!

Daddy Daughter Days: Weekend Errands

 The last minute Christmas shopping continues on Saturday.

This is me, "listening" to a story:

Daddy Daughter Days: Cooking With Camp Camp!

I found the person who bought that RT crate I wanted. And it turns out the cookbook that came with the many accessories has some Camp Camp recipes! Only rubs more salt on the wound for me \j


I actually would like to make the Flower Scout cookies one day. But where are we gonna find Mexican cane sugar, I wonder... 

See if mom can make those cookies for Christmas, maybe..?

Daddy Daughter Days: A Very Bad Christmas Special

I propose a suggestion that tomorrow night, rather than watch "Kevin Spencer." We instead watch "The Bad Guys" holiday special. Why? Because I feel like subjecting myself to bad movies.


NOTE: We both actually REALLY liked the original "The Bad Guys" movie when it came out! What turned me off the most about this special is that none of the original voice actors would return (sorry dad. Marc Maron will not be reprising his role as Snake).

Daddy Daughter Days: Komane-Cold

 Found these commercial for what I'm assuming is over the counter medication? I say assuming because it's all in Japanese, but I'm sharing this because Komaneko makes a guest appearance in the commercial!

Daddy Daughter Days: CHRISTMAS CHAOS

 I've not not 1, not 3, but 2 Christmas parties next week! One on Friday, and another the day after! And I am NOT complaining.

Daddy Daughter Days: In Case Things Fall Through...

 

If that Calico Critters thing falls through.

The clock is coming from Japan too FYI. Mom and I have been meaning to replace my current alarm clock, so why not stick with the Animal Crossing theming of my room?

Daddy Daughter Days: Earn That Cash

 I have some video games that haven't moved in a while, so if they don't sell by Friday, I will be selling them to a local gaming shop in the area. So far I've had one *VERY* flaky customer interested in one of the games, but I'm not holding my breath. 


Will be updating the listing descriptions with this notice.

Daddy Daughter Days: A Calico Critter Christmas

 Working on a Calico Critter short for the holidays when I'm not working on my original series. So far there's $30 saved up for Clarice, so saving to finally cap off a 3 year long saga are... A work in progress.

Daddy Daughter Days: The Weekend

 Won't be seeing my aunt again until Monday. Dad and I now have a chance to just kcik back, relax, and watch Camp Camp (and Kevin Spencer...Maybe)

Daddy Daughter Days: Sorry Saber...

 So I went to see Disney's "Wish" today and I was surprised! Surprised by how GOOD it actually was compared to what a lot of people online have bee saying about it! The plot was executed well, the characters were likeable, songs were really catchy and fun to listen to! And while we're on the topic of the songs, a lot of people claim the lyrics sounded like they were AI generated. To which I disagree in that regard. I'd say my favorite would be "This is the Thanks I Get." 


The team even sprinkled in little references to past Disney films that have been around for over 100 years (since it's the studio's 100th anniversary), if you didn't grow up on some of the first Disney films to exists, then you probably won't get them. But overall, Wish is probably one of the best Disney movies I've seen in AGES. Hell, I'd even say it's better than ENCANTO! WAYYYYYY better than Encanto. 


I'll see if I can get dad to watch it with me when the movie comes out on DVD. Speaking of movies... There are not 1, not 3, but 2 movies I wanna see at the theater next month! 

Truly A Scrooge Time Of Year

 Christmas has been a lot duller at our house this year. Even though we set up the tree and many other decorations (albeit very limited cuz ...
