November Update 2019

Hey, readers.  A couple of weeks ago, I celebrated my birthday.  Didn't do anything big.  Just had family over.  Now, on to the gifts.

First up, are these lace finger-less gloves.  I have no idea what to wear these with.  But I'll think of something.

Next, are these skeleton earrings and matching necklace.  I wore them when I went to see Joker.  If you can't dress like a clown while watching this movie, sport skeletons instead. XD

In the make-up department, I got an eye shadow palette, some shimmering lip gloss and make-up brushes.  Time to experiment.

Craft-wise, I got some sewing essentials and more craft supplies.  Can't wait to use that ring bender.

And of course, as I've done for the last 2 years, I created a birthday playlist on youtube.

Speaking of music, my boys are back!  Dr. Death and Mr. Vile recently released their new album, The WOLF on bandcamp.  It's described as a journey into the struggle of the darkest and brightest corners of the human psyche.  I highly recommend giving the album a listen.

That concludes the November Update for this year.  If you enjoy reading my blog and want to show some love, consider donating to my Ko-fi page.  The link can be found in the header under "SUPPORT".  Til next time.

Podcast Update and Prezzies

Hey, readers.  Still working on getting my podcast together.  Got myself a couple of co-hosts and some ideas for topics that we might talk about in potential future episodes.  We tried doing a test run a few weeks ago.  But when I went to playback what was recorded, there was no sound.

This resulted in the test run being a bust.  I figured out what went wrong and fixed the audio problem.  It should be smooth sailing for the next test.  I also celebrated my birthday this month.  My mother cooked a special dinner, my cousin took me to the movies and I got some cool gifts.

First, we have this spooky, glittery tree.

The best part about it is that it lights up.

Well, looks like Jack now has some company.

Speaking of Jack, I also got this Jack Skellington travel mug.

For the piece de resistance, Beetlejuice.  Now, I own the movie and the animated series.

And so ends this blog post.  If you enjoy reading my blog and want to show some love, consider donating to my ko-fi page.  The link can be found in the header under "SUPPORT".  Til next time.

Aji's Birthday Mix '18

B-Day Rundown

Hey, readers.  Had myself a pretty chill birthday weekend.  On Friday, my cousin took me to see Justice League.  We went to one of those dine-in theaters and had at drink at the bar before it started.  Then, we got our dinner on while watching the movie.

I'll say this about Justice League, it was pretty okay.  It wasn't something to write home about.  But it was definitely better than BvS: Dawn of Justice.  The movie got a few chuckles out of me, and would be something I'd watch again if it was on TV.  The following Sunday, some of my other family members came over to celebrate.

My mother cooked some appetizers and they, per my request, brought Chinese take-out.  Once again, due to a lack of communication, I wound up with 2 cakes.  Score.  An awesome Sunday was had.  Now, onto the gifts.

Most of the gifts I received were some clothing essentials that I needed.  So, I'm just gonna skip telling you about those and show you my top 2 favorite non-clothing items.  A sugar skull mug and a new Rocky Horror Picture Show DVD to replace the one that I lost.

Got any plans for Thanksgiving?  Let me know in the comments.  Til next time.

  

Aji's Birthday Mix '17

Hey, readers!  It is officially my birthday!  To celebrate this momentous occasion, I decided to create a playlist.  So, get on the imaginary dance floor and shake it!  Or stir it.

Or swoon like a weeping willow.  Or stand in the corner and smoke cloves.  Do whatever you want.  Happy listening!

Beep, Beep!

Hey, readers.  Didn't know what to title this post.  So, I just came up with something random.  Anyway, nothing super interesting to post about.  Got to see Thor Ragnarok last weekend.

It was definitely better than the previous Thor films.  Also got a birthday coming up next week.  I'll be turning the big 34.  It falls on the same day that Justice League comes out.  Might be seeing that to celebrate the occasion. 

That's all I have to report for now.  Til next time. 

  

Mini Birthday Gift Haul 2016

Hey, readers.  Yesterday was my birthday.  I turned the big 33.  In honor of the occasion, my mother cooked a celebratory dinner.  Then, me and some of my friends hopped onto plug.dj and played music late into the night.

Along with the awesome meal, my mother also got me a few gifties.  First up is this cute jewelry box.  It's perfect for my smaller pieces of jewelry.  Still need to find something bigger for my spiked accessories though.

The next thing I got was an itunes gift card.  I really like the colors on it.  Think I'll hold onto it for a future craft project after I redeem the code.

Time for the grand finale!  *drum roll*  The final gift I got was.....TWO PACKS OF ANDES!!!  Besides candy corn, these are my favorite sweets. =D

Well, that's it for my mini birthday gift haul.  For my next blog post, I'm thinking about doing the "What's in my bag?" tag.  If you're interested in seeing a post on that, let me know in the comments.  Til next time.

A Wild Aji Appears

Hello, readers.  Been pretty quiet over here on my end.  Sorry about that.  Writer's block has struck again.  Other than that, I had a super low key birthday celebration earlier this week.

My mother fixed a special dinner, bought a cake, and got me a few things off my wishlist.  That was pretty much it.  Anyway, I have a question for you all.  Are there any goth/alternative topics that you would like for me to cover?  If so, let me know in the comments.

Now, I'm off to watch some videos on youtube and veg out.  Til next time.

Mini Birthday/Early Christmas Gift Haul

A few days ago, I used the gift card that I got for my birthday to order a pair of earrings from a shop on Etsy called Lunar Owl Creations.  If you're a regular follower of my blog, you probably remember me talking about this shop in one of my past posts.  Anyway, the earrings arrived earlier today and they look amazing.

Bonus: The earrings came with a free matching bracelet.

This is my second purchase from Etsy and I am again pleased with what I received.  These will go great with my pentacle necklace.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today, I turned the big ??.  My brother, sister in-law and their rugrat came over yesterday for a small pre-birthday celebration.  Was hoping to have a birthday gift haul to share with you folks.  But no such luck.  My only gift was a $30 Visa gift card.

Later that evening, I was presented with not 1, but 2 birthday cakes.  One of them was a strawberry shortcake that my brother and sister in-law had bought.  The other, a strawberry flavored cake with strawberry frosting that my mother had made.  See what happens when family doesn't properly communicate with each other.  You end up with 2 cakes. =D

What's New?

Happy November, readers.  Besides having a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks, nothing much has been going on with me.  Still got some DIY projects that need to be completed and I have to make a return to the eye doctor to see about having the lenses in my glasses adjusted.  Even though things are no longer blurry as hell when I wear them, I'm still having a hard time with reading text.  Hopefully, this is a problem that can be easily remedied.
