woohoo new layout!! i figured out a solution to all my problems. no moving, no PHP, just a new format and some tweaking with inline frames. this is going to be so much easier. i had avoided frames since i thought they weren't responsive, but this template works perfectly on smaller screens too which is a relief! i had to change LOTS of internal stuff which costed me several hours of time but it was worth it in the end. the HTML is much tidier too, which makes it much nicer for me to quickly edit. i'm currently in the process of transferring everything over to this new format, so it will take a bit before this post and the rest of the new site will be visible, but i hope y'all will like it.
on a completely unrelated note, i just recieved the Youtooz KinitoPET plushie a few hours ago!! he looks very polite. he's much bigger than i had expected, too... i thought "9 inches" was from head to toe, but nope, they did not include his legs!
a while back, i told my partner (they also love KinitoPET) that i'll bring Kinito to Japan when we meet up next summer.... i'm not so sure anymore lol. he's definitely too big to bring around town in my bag, and that's if i even have space in my luggage. oh well! he'll be staying home. at least i will have my small Magolor plush and also plan on getting a Pokémon Substitute doll to match with my partner.

october already!?!? damn
i've been pretty busy with life and college and stuff, but i'm finally getting back on the webmastery groove.
i'm starting to consider doing an overhaul of the formatting of this site. maybe move to another host and add some easy PHP for the menus and stuff since it's cumbersome to update it on every page (that's kinda one of the reasons i haven't updated as much...). idk! just putting ideas out there. probably not gonna move, but it's just a possibility. it's probably easier to redo the overall template to something a bit friendlier (to me). i'll be brainstorming for a bit.

ムムッ！？いつの間にか4ヶ月も過ぎて……！？KTRサイトを創設したり試験に追われたりカービィ三昧の日々を送ったりしてたらこんなに時が経ってしまいました。いや〜怖い怖い。
英語で考えるのが面倒くさいので本日は日本語でお届けします。英語訳は後日用意するかも。日本語といえば、いよいよ本サイトに日本語専用？のスペースを設けようと思いまして。言わないと実現しない（というか忘れる）のでここで宣言しときます。具体的に何を置くかは決めてないのですが、一応強制バトンを見てしまったのでそれは決定してます（笑）。16年以上前のものなのですが、踏んでしまったのはやるしかない！日本人ユーザーなんて多分一人もいないのでここで途絶えるのがオチですが。好きだからやる！それだけ！
KTRサイトの方にまた日記を書くのも面倒なのでここで言いますが、数年ぶりに自分のネーミングセンスの無さに頭を抱えてます。ﾁｮｷはWEB管理人としての名義であってサイト名ではないので、ちゃんとしたサイト名を考えたいのですが……。良いのが全く浮かばない。Cereal and choccy milkもある時ふと浮かんだフレーズなので、意図的に名前を決めることができないのです。過去に作ったオリキャラなども無名か、当時のHNの流用か、仮の名前かの3択だし。助けてくれ。
【24/04/07追記】 KTRサイト改名・バナー制作・日本語専用スペース完了！したけど全画像置いてたfilegardenが落ちて凹み中。

happy new year!!! it's the year of the dragon!!!
i know it's only been like 4 days, but y'know. what can i say, it's the new year. for the year of the dragon, i made another origami! this pattern is from the おりがみの時間 website.
i've heard that there was a massive earthquake in/around ishikawa prefecture in japan. there was also the plane accident at haneda earlier today (someone i know witnessed it! they're alright, albeit frightened, but their flight got cancelled). all this in 2024 already... i think it's about time we change the era name and build another buddha statue. reiwa, get outta here.
seriously though, i hope for everyone's safety.
re: the november entry, i'm very happy that ゲ謎Gegege no Nazo is such a great hit in theaters (150万人突破over 1.5M people!?!?)!! especially so, since i know theater revenue is very important in the industry, and i've heard that the creators didn't expect it to do very well considering the genre/themes. but i also really really want to...y'know...actually watch it!!! at the moment i'm repeatedly watching the trailers to absorb every last ゲ謎 nutrient and browsing the plethora of fanart/manga on twitter and pixiv. just waiting for it to go on streaming, or at least dvd....
also to refresh my knowledge, i'm watching the kitaro anime. i started with the season 4 (1996); not really because i grew up with it or anything as i mentioned previously, but mainly by vibes—i just remember once looking at the lastest season (s5 at the time) and thinking “wow, this kitaro looks so...modern." but i saw some art on pixiv showcasing season 6 (2018), so i gave that a try... and then season 5 (2007)... and then season 3 (1987).... so i'm now watching seasons 3-6 in parallel lmao. i'm holding off on seasons 1 (60's) and 2 (70's), since all 6 at once is 流石に a bit too much lol.
i've written out my thoughts on each so far, so i'll put it somewhere here soon. not in the bog tho. i'll think of something. [24/01/04 edit] here it is! you can also find it through the brain page in the sidebar.

happy holidays!
to start off, here's a little origami ランドセル i made a while back. (it's so hard to get a good photo of this...!!)
i hang out at the daycare-room of the japanese school i attend, and we've been doing origami lately. the directions for this one was in a physical book, so i don't have it on hand to share lol. the little books inside were made by one of the teachers. the little stars are just from the leftover paper from the straps. turned out so cute!
while visiting my relatives for christmas, my lithuanian grandma gave me some recipes. i like her pecan tassies she occasionally sends us, but all of her stuff is too sweet so we don't intend on making them. she told us that they're ours now and we're free to do whatever, so i'm putting them on this site! it'll take a bit to digitize (especially since i'm going to be on the road for a few days) but be on the lookout for the pecan tassies, cream cheese kolachki, carrot cake cookies, and eggnog cookies, if you're interested. [24/01/10 edit] it's posted! idk where to categorize this yet, so i'll just put it in the sidebar of the main pages (and linked here ofc) for now.

hell yeah first blog entry!!
i've been seeing some fanart for ゲゲゲの謎Gegege no Nazo on twitter and i want to watch it so bad, but i guess it's still only in theaters so i straight up can't. diversity lose... i guess there's the anime to watch. i've loved ゲゲゲの鬼太郎Gegege no Kitarō since i was in elementary school or something, but i only read the kodansha novalization version lmao. i might have watched a few episodes of one of the anime series? maybe the 90's one? idk. i clearly remember what medama-oyaji sounds like, but i think every japanese person is able to do a medama-oyaji impression (ｵｲ️鬼太郎ｩ‼️) just by virtue of being japanese. source: trust me and also my mom
oh also, i've finally gotten a concept idea for a fursona. despite liking furry art for quite a while now, i straight up haven't drawn animals (other than sonic characters which don't count) for like 10 years so i'm starting my furryification now lmao. i really like weasels (especially that one image of the white stoat with blood on its face) and 龍long (cn), ryū/tatsu (jp), aka eastern dragons so i'm thinking of a sort of hybrid between the two. i think they will go pretty well together since they're the same general noodle shape. i did some stoat studies and i'm starting to get the hang of it, but mannn 龍 are so hard to find good references for.
