You wanna know how I got up this morning? Zen barged into my room at 6:10 in the morning and tackled me. Since I've been sleeping in 'til 7:30 lately (at the very earliest), I was about to swat him and yell at him for waking me up --
Then I remembered what day it was. =D
Not bad haul this year, and the gifts I bought for my family went down well. I bought Donkey Kong Country Returns for Zen and my dad (the series has a fond place in my family's heart), and the necklace/bracelet set I bough
Thanks to the Breaking the Silence party that was after school, I can talk without guilt. =D
That being said, I figure I might as well give you a report on how my metal work is going. Here's the short version:
Skyrim Pendant: Still having technical difficulties Glass Nuva Symbols: I'm currently making metal molds of the Gali and Tahu ones, which will let me make multiple versions of them. The other four are on the way, but at the rate they're taking, I probably won't have the proper molds u
I stayed up last night watching a program on that channel 'bout Jack the Ripper, and the possibility he had gone to America. I only saw about 20 minutes of it (I'm watching the rest of it this afternoon), but it was very intruiguing, even if I did have hard time getting to sleep afterward. :wakeup2:
Oh, and they're playing a new version of the "I Love The World" song, featuring Optimus Prime. It's already stuck my head. >.< *resists urge to start singing*
Nobody got the answer last week, but Sumiki was the closest, so he wins this round.
Answer: The man was the winner of the prestigious London Marathon race. He waved to the large crowd the entire way down the finishing straightaway and, because of that, he just failed to break the record for the marathon -- thereby missing out on the $30,000 bonus prize.

It started with a methane leak in the science wing (don't ask) yesterday, and it ended in the Excalibur Hotel's Tournament of Kings dinner/show tonight. Granted, I'm not going back to Washington until Monday, but ... today was a good day. B)
(And no, I'm telling you any real details. After all, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. )
I have a few things in real life to handle (don't ask), so I probably won't be around as nearly as often as I usually am. In the RPGs, Rock/HN get my KG characters, and Rock gets Laural Thluile in Reality. I'm not sure about Astra Lixue in Reality; I suppose I can handle it myself when I am around.
Rest assured I'll be back to my regular schedule by next week.
I'll probably totally fail at it, but I'm entering NaNoWriMo, if only for the possibility of it motivating me into writing that novel I've been toying with all summer.
Even though I'm only a sophomore, I'm already getting hit with educational opprotunities.
A few weeks back, I got a letter from a person that has some adminatrative role at the Willamette University in Salem, OR; apparently they've got an eye on me already. And today in the mail, I got a letter from the People To People -- which is a Washington "educational exploration program" -- offering me an invitation to travel and study abroad in Japan next summer.
Very weird, yet very cool.
I woke up to cold. That's usually nothing to worry about, but I found frost on the ground . . . along with snow.
We're barely halfway through November, and the Puget Sound area has snow.
*raises fist and shakes vainly at the sky* >.<
. . . that this is cool.
Granted, the medallion came out bigger than I expected it to be, but I'm satisfied. Now you guys know what I'll be wearing for BrickCon '10.
I'm considering putting this in GA, but I'm happy just keeping this here.
I've run into a problem, and I need opinions on something. (I can't explain what this has to do with any of my projects at the time being, so you'll just have to wait.) What you tell me could shape a story I'm writing.
Thanks for the help!
I got my hands on the book I ordered. =D
My Algebra 2 homework wound up getting neglected for a good two hours because I was engrossed with Secrets of Deltora -- and breaking the hidden codes that was in it.
Also, Avatar's coming out on the 22nd (Earth Day), so yay.
Since Swert just plugged me, I feel obligated to repost the commissions list. Please note that I need to make some adjustments to the lists, since Mark now has a 3D printer (so making rings, weapons, and previously-forbidden things could be easier now). Thanks for your patience. =) Embargos There are a few things I will flat-out refuse to do. Avoid at all costs: any rubbery pieces (i.e. Inika masks, Skakdi heads, etc) Launchers/Launcher ammo Ehlek claw (tried already. Epic fail) Now that
I really need to wrap up Twilight Princess before I go back to school. I'm about halfway through the Palace of Twilight, so this shouldn't be too hard (well, other than getting chased around with those giant hands that creep me out ...).
Another reason why I should put down my pen for a bit? The copy of the Metroid Prime Trilogy (yes, the one with the metal case) that I promised myself I'd play over the summer still hasn't been inserted into the Wii.
I have a list of writing goals I'd like to make progress on in Hawaii. (Two days, people!) They are as follows: Finish details and chapter plan for the LST sequel Work on chapter plan for a Sonic the Hedgehog fic, tentively titled Their World Work on paper draft for the SS Beautiful Nightmares Work on paper draft for the fifth chapter of HitM Work on chapter plan for a Ben Ten fic that's being posted on another site. So yeah. I won't be spending all my time in paradise hang-gliding and surfing.
As some of you might remember from this entry, my Metals teacher and I have made something of a project to cast my entire Kirop set in solid bronze. Since I haven't given updates on it since then, I might as well tell you what's up.
In Bronze Mask Headpiece Arms One leg Feet Wings Awaiting BronzeTorso Other leg Weapons Shouldn't be long before I can snap pictures of a completely bronze Kirop. =D
Now that I'm no longer lagged (while I still have the occasional headache, I can probably blame that on the heat), I can go into detail.
For one thing, this place is very inspiring. I can't think of the last time I did this much writing/planning in such a short amount of time. I'm already mostly done with the chapter plans for Wings, even though it's probably gonne wind up muuuuch longer than LST and H&H have been.
And the island itself is beautiful (and WARM, deliciously WARM!). Ther
Everyone this week had a good guess, and weren't far off the mark, but this week's winner is Exo-Fat!
Answer: During WWII, the Russians built a railway line over the frozen Lake Ladoga in order to deliver supplies to the city of Leningrad, which was under siege by German forces. Its population was starving and there was no means of supply from the Russian side other than over the lake.

Apparently.
So, I guess my belief that Rick Riordan would target the Norse pantheon next is wrong, though there's really no difference between Greek and Roman gods nowadays ...
