Yesterday pretty much put me in freak out mode. I went to the dentist and he's really pushing to remove my wisdom teeth. Why? Not because they're doing anything right now, but because they might cause damage in the future (and "three people had to have root canals this past week because their wisdom teeth caused decay with the tooth in front of it ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went from feeling the best I had in a long time, energy wise, to "just put me out of my misery". I was literally telling myself, on the way to work, that "wow, I haven't felt this awake and alert for work in a long time". A short time after arriving, my allergies hit me like a ton of bricks ( Read more... )

Lesson learned, you take a gamble that something is going to be the right color when the ebay description is kinda murky, you get burned. (Why didn't I just email the seller ahead of time? Because that would have made sense!) I had ordered a motorcycle visor to use on the Bubblegum Crisis hard suit I'm working on and apparently mirrored/chrome ( Read more... )

Hello world, it's me again. I don't know if I should say I've been a slacker or working hard. A mix of the two, I suppose. I decided (while my parents were away) that I would try to build the Bubblegum Crisis hard suit with the plastic I have around the house and if it gets built in time for Nebkon, great. If not... there's always next year. It was ( Read more... )

The parents go out of town tomorrow for a Mini Cooper convention-thing. Oddly enough, it's not Adam whom I'm worried about being a jerk this time. He was "that roommate you never see" last time, so I think things will be alright between us. No, this time its that asshole James I'm wishing won't come round... but alas, the computer he's been ( Read more... )

Since I registered for Neb-kon on Friday, I'm all "What shall I wear? What shall I wear?" Sure, it isn't until November... but it'd be nice to start work on it now, while the weather is nice. I plan to either resurrect Amy Sorel or Star Fox for the Friday of the con (I've already had one vote for Amy... and I always feel terrible about removing Fox ( Read more... )

Early pre-registration for Nebraskon ends today, so if you have any interest in hitting that con this year, today's the last day to get the cheapest price. It's now in Omaha instead of Lincoln, so yay ( Read more... )

Apparently the Dutch have a thing with tossing Smart cars into canals.

That's kinda scary...

Friday night was pretty fun. Mutual of Omaha paid for admission and other stuff for a bunch of events around town. The parents and I went to the botanical gardens for wine tasting (nope... still not a fan of wine, but I tried). Bleh, the Italian wine tasted like bitter nothingness, if that makes any sense. The only wine of the 4 I tried that I ( Read more... )

Yesterday while at Target I tried looking for an auxiliary cable so I could hook my iPod to my car. They had one cable that looked like it was an aux cable but all it said was that it was for recording. Anyway, the reason I decided not to get it? It was 6 feet long. That's practically the length of my car! o_O ( Read more... )
