So I'm back from a super fun weekend at the country house to describe what happened. I'll try not to make it too long, though.
The drive to the place was pretty boring, and after settling in, everyone (myself, friend, her mom, and her dad) fell asleep. But the house itself was very pretty, surrounded by trees, and a dock that went into the lake was only a few steps away from the patio.
For breakfast on Saturday, the family had leftover corn, so they took the kernels and made pancakes with
Congratulations! You caught a wild Mareep!
But, like [most] trainers, you wish to evolve your Mareep. Yet you hate fighting wild Pokemon and other trainers, or you just suck at it. What do?
Simple! Let's start by shaving some of the fluff off your Mareep and standing it on its two hind legs. It looks taller now!
The blue isn't attractive, though. Let's dye it pink, and make the silly yellow fluff a brilliant white! And the yellow sphere on it's tail just has to go, so you instead attach
Have you ever observed a typical house fly? Often, I've seen that a fly will rub it's two front-most legs together.
When I see any fly do that, I can't help but think it's plotting something evil, and in its puny mind it can only think "mwahahahaha" while it rubs its 'hands' together.
but flies sometimes do evil things so I guess it's okay
I suddenly remembered today about my experience with Styrofoam in elementary and middle school. At lunch, the school always used these cheap Styrofoam trays for school lunch (which sucked). And everyone around me, after they finished eating or if they were bored, would mess with the trays - puncturing holes into it with their spork, ripping the edges, and, on occasion, completely tearing it up.
Problem is, the Styrofoam made this extremely annoying noise when people did that, and I would crin
So my friend invited me up to her country house in Massachusetts for the whole of next weekend, leaving either Thursday or Friday, and return Sunday (if it works out). And I'm pretty excited for it.
Except she said that she's going to teach me how to swim no matter what while we're there. Because I don't know how to swim.
And I hope she doesn't want me to bike while there too, because I never learned how to ride one.
Yes my childhood was terrible in that sense D:
Also she's going to rent
First, thank you Black Six for giving away prototypes at Brickfair. I got a half-transparent Hau Nuva, and a prototype Thornax.
To add to that, I also got a Skopio set at Running of the Bulls (30 bucks baby), which means I finally own a set Thornax.
So, I put them side-by-side for comparison. What do you think?

Aside from that, thanks to xccj as well for selling me two kraata for 25 cents. You're awesome.

That. Was. Amazing.
In truth, it was better than last year in several ways. And every person I met (or met up with again) is so awesome and huggable.
Oh and
WAFFLES, YOU ARE PROBABLY THE MOST ADORABLE AND AWESOME KID EVER <3
So a few nights ago, I had a dream, and suddenly I felt like blogging it.
I'm in some strange asylum-like place with white walls (does this say anything about me?), and I'm in a room with Woody from Toy Story, who is arguing with some businessman over obscure changes to the Toy Story 3 script. So, he and I decide to bust out of there.
Woody smashes a hole into the wall behind him, and there's a corridor, where the next wall supposedly leads outside. Far down the hall, there's a perfectly c
It was just as amazing as the first time seeing it, if not even better. On the way home, I also had some interesting discussions with the group that I saw the movie with.
<3
This was also my first time seeing a movie twice in theaters.
We do not work together. Nu-uh.
I tasted one at the insistence of my father, and my relationship with the brussel sprout (cooked) didn't even last two seconds. >(
Today I watched Inception. Back home, I watched the anime movie Paprika.
You've probably all heard about the dream-themed Inception, and Paprika is very similar. Paprika involves a device, the DC Mini, that lets people go into other people's dreams.
So watching this crazy combo today.... my mind is blown.
Inception is one of the greatest films I've ever seen, and you all have to watch it. If you, for some reason, can only watch one movie every year, Inception should be that movie.

While my mom was watching the news a quick story came up on how a guy dressed as Darth Vader robbed a bank, and there was camera footage and all that.
The day before it was a robber who goes in with a bouquet of flowers and a note telling the bank teller to not 'be a hero', now cosplay?
I can only wonder what's next.
From the August 2010 issue of Wired magazine, article: "The Future That Never Happened," with guest writer Will Ferrell.
From the little inserts about what Will Ferrell wished was already available today:
What.
(Other of his ideas: edible fake beard, ray gun that brings mannequins to life, Chewbacca-mask weddings)
It was beautiful. I really enjoyed watching it, despite not remembering the previous two films that well. Still brought me back to the good old days. <3
Finally I saw The Legend Reborn movie today on my granny's teevee. It was fun. Except these little boxes kept popping up from the side of the screen with little facts and tidbits. Most weren't very useful, but some were nice to know.
But I have been inspired for ART by this 8D I just need to get done with my internship that I start next week, which goes through the entire month. If the art works out, I'll bring a copy with me to show off at Brickfair.
I'm going home today as well~
I also
So yesterday I was waiting at the train station to hop on the railroad and head to granny's house, and I'm waiting with her bags while she buys tickets. Suddenly, a businessman dashes past me at an incredible speed and almost runs me over, ignoring me all the while.
Seriously, I wanted to get a Pokeball and capture him and then chuck him away.
But after that I bought a smoothie so everything was cool.
So now I'm at my grandmother's, and she really enjoys stuffing me with food. You have
I'm enjoying my sleep, and I'm having this strange dream about a gun. There's just some floating hand with a gun in an empty space, and it pulls the trigger.
I wake up as the trigger sound is heard, but I also hear something similar to it in real life. And then, right past my window, a firework is ascending into the sky.
Turns out some kids decided to go out at like one in the morning and set off fireworks on the road right in front of my apartment building (I'm on the second floor). And I
So this morning, my dad and I went for a run and then did yoga. Pretty good wake-up call, especially in the heat. >__>
Now then! When we got home, we decided to make something yummy. We just finished making these dumpling-like things, only they're full of cherries. The result was excellent.
The result.
If you want a recipe of sorts (it won't be very professional, though), feel free to PM me or IM me.
...The Blog Staff's word, that is. Comment approval ahoy!
Now then! If you're really bored while waiting for someone to approve your comment in their blog, check out of the art I uploaded today. They're all from my art class at school - which was a watercolor class for this semester. I will update the art content block when I'm less lazy. =P
My friend colored in freakish rainbow (900x874 px)
Remember this entry? Here's the painting I was talking about (593x718)
Fuzzy, fuzzy hat (496x554)
I drew the guy I have a mini-obsession on. Fai D. Flourite from Tsubasa. (Colored pencil on printing paper)
It's a bit tilted cuz that's how the sketch came out in my sketchbook, and then I traced it onto paper and forgot to turn it slightly. Oh well.
Tsubasa may be confusing towards the end (srsly), but Fai is still awesome.
Oh and happy birthday, Spink. You're awesome as well. <3
How many people here will freak out at my profile picture? Or at least think it's weird?
So far I have one person. =D
If you know who it is too, you're awesome.
Now that I've calmed down a bit from the weekend and studying for exams, let me tell you what I did Saturday night.
I was at my friend's place for her birthday and a sleepover with a few people, and her parents got us tickets to show called Fuerza Bruta. It's not a show you sit down and watch - you're standing, looking all around you, walking around, and dancing. It's just amazing.
The first part mainly had to do with a business man of sorts on a conveyor belt. He would walk normally, push
Today was a day off from school, so I took advantage of it to shop for a gift for my friend, whose birthday is this Saturday. Yesterday and today, I drew a card with Roy Mustang (FMA) on it.
Then today, I went to an anime-dedicated store downtown. When I got there, I was the only customer, but the store was full of so many beautiful figurines and kits and merchandise that I didn't care. Despite the loneliness, the guy at the register was easy to talk to, and we discussed FMA a little bit. He
At least, those stand things you open and pull the newspaper out of are.
This morning, I was trying to get the free morning paper to read on the train ride to school. The thing I mentioned above was made of metal here, and I was also carrying a heavy textbook that I had to return today. I open the thing, but because of my textbook it kind of slips and injures me right under the nail of my middle finger and on the joint just beneath it.
Luckily, I had a bandaid with me and covered it up, bu
