- Aaah the summer solstice has passed. And for the rest of the year the
days will only be gradually getting shorter. *sigh* Not a very pleasant
thought. Though I hope all of you out there are enjoying the weather.
(It's been 90s here and humid off and on already.) If you are on a
vacation (lucky you), I hope you're enjoying it. (I'm envious. I need a
vacation.)
- I updated the theme to summer. Sorry I missed spring. I really did
mean to convert the layout. (I have nothing against Shuten aka Anubis so
apologies to his fans out there, as I am sure there are many.) I had
Frontpage convert the layout for hopefully all of the pages here. If any
page is still on the old theme, please
contact me with which page it
is. Thanks!
- Unfortunately I've been dealing with some major health issues since
March. (I'm still lined up to see various specialist and have tests done
to check my health even into next month.) *sighs* So all that has been
taking front burner as I try to find out what is wrong with me and get
back to a permanent 100 percent. I still worry on and off nearly every
day about the possibility of experiencing some of the bad symptoms I've
had in the past again. So far all the tests I've taken say I'm 'normal'
but I'm still having symptoms. Of course worrying and stress isn't good
for me and may be contributing to my health problems.
What they say is true about 'if you don't have your health'. You really
don't appreciate it, feel so dependant on various doctors, and realize
just how insurance and visits work until you really get sick. So see and
get acquainted with your doctor when you are well and get yearly exams!
(I haven't been getting my annual checkup due to pervious lack of health
insurance and I'm sure that hasn't helped my current situation.)
A word of advice for those out there, if possible pick a PPO instead of
an HMO. Getting those referrals in to see specialists is a pain and the
referral is only good for a year I believe. *double sigh*
- I have backlogged reading of these books to learn Dreamweaver (now
that I bought CS3) so that I can convert this site to CSS. (I'm still
using aforementioned Frontpage 03.) The Missing Manual book I got for it
though is nearly 1,000 pages long and I'm backlogged with other books I
checked out to read for research first. (Which I started on before these
health issues began.) I also upgraded to Photoshop CS3 and got a manual
written by Adobe to try to learn how to use that too. So much stuff to
do as I try to get my life back on track!
- And for those who didn't know, I'm engaged. I've been engaged for
over a year now. So upcoming sometime next year, I hope, will be the
wedding. So that means wedding plans to boot.
- So again I apologize. I've had big plans and dreams for this site
and my health problems have tossed it all back. I'm not sure when I'll
catch up but I do hope to improve SotS and make it a better site for all
of my visitors out there. Thank you to everyone who has visited over the
years. I hope I have helped some of you find the information on these
characters that you've needed.

- Put up summer theme.
- Cleaned up links area - removed some links and added a few too.
- 6/1/07
- I noticed that the website on Roninweb that hosted the Yoroiden: Samurai
Troopers Series Review was gone. So I uploaded it here!
Such good information is worth saving! (I'm so glad I saved a copy
on my hard drive.)
- 5/26/07
- Added a scan to the Samurai Kids page of
another doujinshi story.
- All of my fanfic and ficart was removed.
Basically I hate my old work. The plotline could have been better,
characters were poorly developed and written, and MSisms got worked
into them. Any works I've written were all classic examples of 'not thinking ahead',
not thinking 'how will this make the character look/be', etc. It was
all just extremely poor development and foresight. I hate myself for
it and really wish I never wrote all that crap in the first place.
If I write again, it will be after some major research in how
to better write a story and how to develop better characters.
