So I went to the 'Ard Boys semifinals last weekend, which is why I haven't updated in so long (most of my me-time is limited to the weekend these days, and Green Bay is a helluva drive). I did really well considering that I've only been playing for about a year, and I took 8th out of 28 people. Adric got 21st and the other person from our store ( Read more... )

I just found a giant beetle inside my shirt and somehow the most upsetting part about that was that it was an invasive species.

Biology student, that is me.

School is basically eating my face right now but things are still chugging along behind the scenes, by which I mean I'm still writing Utopia, and I have even gotten enough done for a new ( Read more... )

It's a lovely morning, sitting here with a thunderstorm rumbling in the background and the sounds of rain and Edith Piaf.

Writing about laboratories = a chance to show off my ~life experience~ or somethin' I dunno

In other news, I have been making some glacially slow progress painting my Blood Angels army:

You never really realize how many teeny little emblems are on Space Marine armor until you have to file all the damn things off. I'm converting the extra Terminators Adric gave me (which he originally got as part of the set that began my Ork army) into Meganobz, whose shining characteristic is that they actually have good armor, unlike everything ( Read more... )
