Last week, I picked up a new camera. It's a pretty shiny beastie, and with one exception, I'm pretty happy with it. It's going to take a little while to adjust to its settings and learn how to use all its functions, but despite that I'm already taking some shiny pictures with it. :D

I just finished uploading the first set of pictures taken on it, ( Read more... )

So, that was fucking brilliant. For a while now (like three years, almost) I've had a whole mess of cat5 cable that I'd been intending to turn into jewelry, even went out and bought crimp beads, clasps and jump rings so I could get on it when I had the time and inclination. Tonight I decided it shouldn't be hard to throw something together in a ( Read more... )

Just a quick note to say, I finished my bio-hazard wife beater project. jrl3001 came over to hang out Thursday, after he got off work, and helped me with the cutting of the stencil. Well, he cut pretty much all of it for me, and declined offered bribery in thanks. I'll have to ponder what to do in return for him, even though he's insisting he doesn't want ( Read more... )

From time to time, people comment on my frequent negativity. It gets a little frustrating when I seem to encounter so many things that hold me back for no good reason I can see, and sometimes I forget to focus on the good things instead. This especially slapped me across the face when at work, Paul mentioned it after I'd commented on the flatbed ( Read more... )

So, by way of snooping through the user profile of this guy from this shiny band I recently found out about (daniel_ap and Abney Park respectively), I came across steamfashion which I've added to my communities friend page filter and started skimming back through the recent posts.

So, how much of a dork does it make me that the first thought I had, upon seeing that ( Read more... )

So, last week the *buntu people released 8.04, Hardy Heron. When I went to grab the torrent for the install iso that day, their server was so slammed that it didn't want to load for me. So I shrugged and decided I could wait a week. Yesterday before work, I snagged the torrent file, and queued it up in ktorrent to grab for me when my downloads ( Read more... )

I am officially a whore. Well, not a whore whore, but like a whore of a "I bought something with a logo all over it" whore. There was a wife beater at Kohl's tonight, while I was attempting to come up with present materials for the niece, and it had a purple guitar on it. This alone made it very sexy, and I didn't even notice the Fender logo across ( Read more... )

So, I've been spending a lot of time working with Diziara, Spiegel and the USS Takeda Shingen lately, and using this to ramp my way back up to more frequent writing, I'm starting to move forward with another writing project of mine again. This one not taking place in someone else's universe, and if I can keep some sort of focus, I'd consider trying ( Read more... )

So at work, we've had these lock boxes from some company called Vaultz that were all fancy looking and pencil box sized. One of the styles was a red glitter with a skull and cross bones on it. I was waiting for them to drop to clearance, as I wanted one but I wasn't sure I wanted it at full price. Well, apparently they didn't buy that many, and ( Read more... )

I am such a journal whore. I purchased one with pretty koi fish on it at work. I also bought myself a couple of new mechanical pencils, finally having grown frustrated that I no longer had a mechanical pencil having broken the old one. I just finished working out a supplemental piece of background work for kittenofdeath that I need to type up and store aside ( Read more... )
