It's over in the Holiday section - go check it out.
There'll be a few more up over the next few weeks, and I promise that not all of them will be so 'cute'.

OM NOM NOM
As you recall, I posted the kitten wallpaper a while ago -- yesterday, anyway. Well, I think it was.
Anyway, somebody has helpfully contributed this:
As a friend commented: it feels like 1999 all over again!
Thanks, Mike.

Prints
A friend referred me to a potentially better online venue, especially for prints. I've converted the "Tropical Dragons" wallpaper to a print available for purchase at Zazzle:
"Halloween Kittens and a Punkin'" is also available as a print:
It seems like I can only do them in ginormous "portfolio" size, which I suppose is o.k. - after all, the prints only cost $9.95 each, and they're fairly large (15"x 11" in the case of the kittens).
I haven't fully explored the gallery possibilities, but it seems as if there are some potentially powerful tools - like the RSS feed and a few other things.

Kitten Mug
I love coffee and my mother collects coffee-mugs, so I know there are probably other coffee-mug collectors out there.
To that end, I've plastered the latest Halloween image on a coffee mug, which you can find here in the Deathbycute.com online store.
It will only be up until the end of October, when it will get switched out for either a Thanksgiving mug (I'm not so gung-ho on Thanksgiving, so I'm not sure) or a Christmas mug. I'd keep them all up at once but I doubt that a Halloween mug will sell very well in January, and a free Cafepress store can only have one of each type of product up at a time.
There's been at least one request for a dragon-themed something, but the dragon images I have right now require a little editing before they'll be available. I may make some prints available later on.
Still thinking about a photo section - not sure if it's really worthwhile, since it runs against the theme of this site, unless I manage to take some really interesting photographs.
More Halloween wallpapers to come in the upcoming weeks.

New Wallpaper
New wallpaper up in the "Cute" section - Piles of Stars:
Check it out.
Yeah, I've realized that the Fantasy section has started taking over a little bit. I'm working on a series of holiday wallpapers, but the majority of the Halloween ones will not be Fantasy.

Party Games
This is sort of a continuation of the last post - "things that make Hana happy".
I talk about video games a lot. Ever since I moved, I haven't been around my old friends and haven't socialized much. This is sad. However, I was thinking about when Crystel and I used to throw "game parties", which are essentially parties where you play video games. It made me miss throwing game parties, which I wish I could do but isn't feasible where I currently live for various reasons.
Obviously, a large part of a game party is... the party games. Granted, your game selection shouldn't be the only thing that determines how much fun your party-goers have, but it can have a big impact. I always try to have a little bit of something for everybody - the people who like shooters, the strategists, the button-mashers, the trivia-fiends, and the people who aren't necessarily "hard-core" gamers (or really gamers at all), or just like silly random party games.
I've seen lists of party games online and I don't know if I agree with them all, but here are a few that tend to go down really well at parties I throw:
Console Games:
Mario Party - Any iterations of this game are going to go over well at most parties. Mario Party 8 is the newest... this is a series that consistently gets good reviews, and few people hate it (unlike Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart, which some people do harbor a hatred for), so it's a pretty safe party selection.
Super Smash Bros. - Another party staple.
Mario Kart - Ditto.
HALO - You'll see this at most college parties. Mixing up regular matches with variant rules like Zombie Halo can be really fun.
Dance Dance Revolution - pretty fun, but only two people can play at once.
Guitar Hero - ditto.
Buzz! Trivia games - Some of my friends are trivia fiends, so a good party trivia game is a must-have for any game party. Buzz! The Mega Quiz is for PS2, and I believe that Buzz! TV is being released later this month for PS3 as well. Both have gotten good reviews. You can play a little online flash version here.
Computer Games:
Unreal Tournament III, Warcraft and Starcraft - Classic LAN party games. Warcraft III is one of my favorite games of all time.

Rats!
More antics in my household, things are interesting. Haven't been updating much due to a few bizarre occurrences:
- More viruses, which has been a problem since we've moved and I don't understand why.
- All of the toilets in the house backed up into the bathtubs. It was taken care of by our landlord within a day.
- We have a small furry resident that we didn't know about, and other members of the household are completely freaked out by him. Unfortunately, this is just part of living in Florida. I keep reminding them that it's a rat, not the Terminator, and he isn't going to kill them in their sleep or leap from the shadows to shank them in the back. We got a rat zapper to kill the little buggers - I say buggers, because where there's one, there's always more. Mom is incredibly enthusiastic about the
(alright, say this in the awesome echoey TV superhero voice):
"RAT... ZAPPER... ULTRA!!!"
...that we ordered, and anxiously awaits its shipment. She checked them all out and it was the best one. I just think it looks really cool. Of course, it would look cooler with a dead rat in it, so it stops peeing all over the place.
For the "omg that's horrible" people, this isn't a cuddly pet rat. I'd like to state that I love pet rats, they're fuzzy and cute and very intelligent. I knew some people had two pet rats named Nourishing and Dangerous Bean, and they were awesome pets.
To clarify, this is a cuddly baby pet rat.
And this is a roof rat, found in Florida - more specifically, in my bathroom.
This thing, after having seen it personally, is not fuzzy and cute. It eats garbage. It gnawed through a bag of nasty, noxious garbage that smelled like Bigfoot's underwear and consumed part of the contents. It also pees all over my bathroom.
