*cheers all your coffee cups, or drinks of choice*
I just thought to drop in from the sky and splat on the floor to let everyone know a bit of an update.
I found a new awesome guestbook that is mostly used on Nekoweb, but also transferable to this awesome Neocities platform, and more customizable. So I stuck that link on the home page. Do feel free to look into the eyes of the oracle there (my cat's picture taken with a gameboy camera) and pour your souls out to it. He could also grant wishes with offerings of churu treats and greenies catnip.
Also another little section I'm trying to work out the lay out, as I want it to be something like the old zines I used to work on many MANY moons ago. I was thinking of just creating it by hand, photo copying it, and scanning it and posting it that way instead of straight up typing it out. But too, I'm playing around with different layouts etc for it. I'm getting the itch to make new extensions to this site as I love coding, and have been playing with the idea of just having a place that gives that old zine vibe in digital form on here for my various bits of writing I do, that isn't the free writing vibe or poetry. I'm sitting on a lot of that stuff and collage art that I just don't know what to do with.
Video wise, I'm working on a couple of things for the PotatoCameraCreations youtube channel and my newest Bin Child one. I have a new PotatoCameraCreations coming out this Friday, which people will really "loose their heads" over. I hope you all enjoy that one.
Well, that's about it for me. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Stay clean and stay healthy, and don't step on any tacks, and keep breathing in stardust you wonderful alien children of awesomeness.

The Art Effects 80s Canadian Band
April 4, 2025
I wanted to share this song and band with everyone on Bluesky where I post my daily song that has been stuck in my head, but I can't find much info on the band or a youtube video to share, so I'm posting it here with my copy. It's A Different Ocean from the Insects cassette. Also yay because I learned how to code in a music file! This is all I could find really on the band in this link here.
Keep breathing in stardust you beautiful creatures.

A little change to the free writing section. I have usually just been doing the 5 minute writing piece just without prompts but found I've been becoming kind of stale in doing that, so I found this book called 5 Minute Daily Writing Prompts by Tarn Wilson . I thought to spice it up, to do so in a sketch book and draw a little sketch pertaining to what I wrote. I'm not the best at drawing, but thought it would be fun to share anyway. So I'm going to scan the daily prompt and upload it, but also type it out for the site. I hope you'll enjoy it. I'm going to have a lot of fun with this I think. I'm not going to name the prompts though, as that would give away the things in the book if any writers out there are interested in getting the book themselves.
I hope you all enjoy checking it out.
Keep breathing in stardust

Rolls up a sheet of paper and speaks through it:
Good morning everyone.
I'm getting a gameboy camera! It's making its journey to me as I type this. Also purchased a little contraption that can upload your photos to a computer. I fell in love the aesthetic of the photos this thing can take, and fell down a rabbit hole, and I'm amazed with the artistic capabilities that artists have created with it. I thought to try my hand at exploring this. So I'm going to put up a new section here this weekend to document my creative exploration with the camera.
So I'm on my way now for work, before I go, enjoy this thing I wrote and sketched out.
Have a great day and keep breathing in stardust you beautiful creatures.
Good afternoon on this sunny (well, sunny for me) Friday afternoon. It's been a while since I've touched base here. I've been busy with my work and other projects. But thought it would be nice to sit down and have a coffee, and just talk about whatever.
I've lately been very much in love with this new little dude:
My Kobo Clara BW. I wanted to get away from my Kindle, well, and Amazon in general as a company to be honest. So I said bye-bye to the Kindle Scribe and donated it to the library for the local kids and young adult reading program, (that should cleanse the Kindle of it's corporate greed vibes) So looking for a new little e-reader, I chose this little one. Here's another little picture of my baby, showcasing another great comic zine.
I went to the bookshop yesterday afternoon, and fell in love with these 6" Kobos. I was looking at the Kobo Clara Colour and the BW, which is black and white, and chose the black and white because I love the black light better, and I really don't look at much colour books and even though I do look at colour comics, they don't look bad in grey scale. My downloaded scanned 'zine collections look so good. Also it's cool that the whole thing is made from recycled bottles. That's pretty cool.
My gushing over my new child aside, I've been working on a few ideas for comics, and animations. Three I posted on here in the animation section, but will be on youtube in the coming weeks. As always, I prefer posting on this site before youtube. I mostly want to put everything I create on here only. Another place I was looking at is peertube which looks like an interesting community.
That aside, other than my daily writing on here, I'm going to set myself in a creative mood to make some more little comics, and other creativities this weekend. Also finish another animation I'm working on with phones.
Thanks everyone who comes by here and takes peeks in from time to time. It is always appreciated that at least a handful of people enjoy my little creations. That being said, I would like to leave off with this awesome little zine I've discovered off the amazing Internet Archive called Bread and Puppets, with regard to their cheap and free art manifesto. It pretty much speaks to what I create. Not every piece of art or creation should be available to only those who have money, also you don't need money to create anything. If it's in your soul as an artist, you will create with anything you have available to you, because it's in your soul to make things, and express yourself. There are always cheap and free options out there. Everything I make is with free programs and stuff I have laying around the house, and the most I bought towards these things is the $5 a month to this wonderful webhosting place, and $30 on a small drawing/writing pad I got second hand about 10 years ago, and note pads and sketch books from the dollar stores for $2-$3. Get out there and be creative with what you have and what is within your means. As an artist, you will make your soul create it's expressions out of anything. That's the beauty of creativity and the artist's soul. That's how I see my things, as low in "art" as they are. I hope somebody gets enjoyment out of them in a world that seems to have a price tag on everything these days.
Open in a new window to see these at their full size.
Keep breathing in stardust, you beautiful creatures.
Much love, and thanks for supporting what I do by taking a gander, and hopefully it makes you chuckle with it's absurdism, and hope the writing sometimes makes you think, or unlock some of your own emotions through it. That's worth more to me than a couple of bucks in the pocket.
Xoxo

Site Update
February 15, 2025
I'm all settled back into this site. I found that my poetry page was taking forever to load on my end to add the new poem in, so I moved last years to their own archive page. Now it runs much quicker for me to update.
Just also want to take the moment to say, it's great to be back into the neocities space. I tried the other site but it just was so plain looking and though it had a lot more features, I couldn't be down with it. Also I miss coding my site. I never in a million years would think I would enjoy coding but I love it. So I did test the other site for the week trial and decided to not keep it. Also some of you folks have told me it was kind of bland. I agree. Every time I would go into it to do my free writing or a poem the stark white back ground, looked empty and I couldn't actually feel creative in it. I was writing my stuff in my note books then typing it out. Weird eh?
That being said, it wasn't a bad site, just not Me, and also I love the neocities community a lot, and the morale of this place, because fuck big tech!
Keep breathing in stardust you wonderful critters

I'm back!
February 14th, 2025
I thought to try out another website provider that said it would give customization options with html coding etc, but it just wasn't the same as Neocities with customization etc. Sad I can't directly embed pdfs and stuff here, but the site charm is completely worth it.
Sorry for the flip flopping back to this site, but hey, never hurts to try something new.
Just give me this weekend to get this back up to it's normal self, so right now just be cool with sitting on the milk crates until I get the sofa and chairs moved back in. (Goddamn moving truck is late as usual.)
