Well, here I am at the end of the week. I can't say I feel like much has gone on. Got some engine degreaser to strip paint from some of my minis, did a little painting, played Day of the Tentacle (another fun adventure game!), and came to work. This weekend was Mom's Day Weekend (an event for the U of I), and even though all the hotels in the ( Read more... )

Here I am, at work, last day before my trio of days off, and I'd rather be painting. I've been looking over different forums and checking out painting techniques, eyeing ebay and minis auctions, and I'm gonna go crazy if I don't get to put paint to brush soon ( Read more... )

but its more difficult to make an LJ post sometimes than what you'd think. I've been wanting to make one since Wednesday, so let me sum up what's going on.

( My Week )

So, tonight is Saturday night, and like all saturday nights, something had to cause a fuss. Tonight's winner is.....FIRE ALARM! That's right folks, the fire alarm in the building went off. Long story short, if it smells like food is burning in the microwave, take it out. I'm rather suprised actually, usually when the fire alarm goes off at 12: ( Read more... )

So today I had a rough time of it. Lately I've been feeling umotivated to do anything at all, even stuff I would like. I feel apathetic really, and the only thing that seems to give me any kind of motivation is work, but still doesn't help me feel much of anything. Now don't get me wrong, I haven't gone emo, but it seems like my quality of life ( Read more... )

Just got a call from a friend of mine back up North. It sounded like things have been pretty hectic for him and he needs a friend to talk to. I have had a difficult time getting ahold of him, so when he asked if I was coming up anytime soon, I arranged it. I'll be heading up Tuesday after my class, so I'll be in the area though I don't know if I ( Read more... )

Its going to be a slow weekend at work due to this holiday known as "Easter," and for some odd reason I've been inspired to dink around with RPG Maker XP. In the past when this has happened it never ends up going through. I get frustrated w/the graphics, the numbers, or the story/process. Usually it comes down to the numbers. The default ( Read more... )

So, had a little bit of struggling w/my new brake pads over the past few days, they cost less fortunately, but I had a bit of a worry that got cleared up. I ended up losing sleep though, and not taking my medicine the other night. I'd like to think it was this combined with a lack of sleep, but I don't feel like I was a likeable person, not that ( Read more... )

Its 11:18am and I'm still up. I had wanted to go to bed around 8am or so, but my mom sent me some money to get my rear brakes fixed (I had purchased pads and had wanted to do it w/Dad, but mom got impatient). Well, having tonight off and not wanting to procrastinate, I called a few places. Turns out the dealer where I got my car would actually ( Read more... )

.....by the Ebay Monster! AUGH! That's what I get for wanting to buy stuff after being all responsible with my paycheck and paying my bills. I'll be paying off the debt on both my CC's, then racking up a bit more on one ^^' Oh well, we shall see what I get in the end, though so far these are the items I get to add to my collection ( Read more... )
