Life is pretty much school, school, school, work, work, work, and try not to be sick right now. I have less than a year before I am finally done with college. Work is really great though. My health might not be the best right now, and I'm on multitudes of medications... yet I am still able to keep up my full-time work schedule. I haven't had to call off or go into work sick. *knock on wood* This upcoming April marks my second year work with Best Buy, and I just had my annual review. I pretty m
The gastroenterologist put me on an immunosuppressant, Mercaptopurine... that's a mouthful to say. I had completely forgot about him running the blood tests to see if I could handle the drug the last time I had a flare up. I've got a taper of prednisone until May. Plus I have to go and have blood work weekly now. Hopefully this works and keeps me better. I dislike going on new meds especially when all the side effects are pretty much things you already experience... Hopefully the 6mp doesn't aff
Just some stuff Steampunk stuff I'm working on. The gun was an el cheapo dart gun that I repainted. I have every intention of customizing it a little bit, but am content with leaving it as mostly a paint job. The goggles have some more stuff to be added on to accent them. I'm working on my own version of a Tesla inspired by Warehouse 13 though. It is going to be more Steampunk, but in the shape and form of a shotgun.
I rarely use the combination lock I purchased to put on my locker at work anymore. Today I did because people were in the break room so frequently and I have about $200 in my locker. Needless to say... I went to get in my locker and didn't know the combination. My paper copy of the combination was in my wallet... that I had at the time of purchasing the combination lock. I upgraded to a new wallet and left the written copy in the old one. Oops. I had an idea of the vicintity of the numbers.
For the Halloween party after work tomorrow. I have my wizard cosplay all ready to go, but the necklace I had ordered from Canada did not arrive today... Oh well, I can always wear it on Halloween. I have to work around nine hours tomorrow, and then I have two hours to kill until the store closes and the party begins. There's no point in going home because its almost an hour each way, so if I go home I'd have to just drive back as soon as I get there.... On the upside I could go see a movie or j
I finally beat the E4 in Black. Finally. Also Kohaku and Hades appreciation entry. I got a Zorua. I imported a fair amount of Pokemon from my D/Pt/HG. Then I traded more over to my new White 2. The only problem is... I did not realize I could trade things over like Blastoise, Ralts, etc. I thought I would be restricted to what is on the Regional Dex until I beat the E4. Nope. Now I have too many neat lv1 Pokemon for my new trainer to train and raise.
I cannot say your name five times fast and you need to be eradicated from the planet earth. This is the second time I have picked up the infection, and the chances of catching it increase with each concurrent infection.
While I was waiting to check out in line at Walmart today, there was this elderly woman behind me in one of the store's electronic scooters. My buggy (If you don't know that I mean by buggy, that's what most people in my state call a "cart") was already unloaded and on the checkout belt. The person ahead of me was still waiting to pay, and there was plenty of space on the belt since I only had like seven bags of stuff. I offered to load her stuff up onto the checkout area for her, and it prett
Today whilst my thrall pulled my cart along, a torrential downpour struck my travels. Not even thinking, I muttered some of the Elder Futhark under my breath. Much to my surprise and disappointment, the rain went from cats and dogs to a nonexistent sprinkle. I was dismayed that my thrall was now able to pull me along without added misery. Naturally I tried to merkstave the runic incantation to return the torrential rain, but my thrall was left to experience the duty carefree of weathering hardsh
Last night I saw a status update somewhere that said a 13 year old child in the area had stopped breathing. They life-flighted the child to the next largest hospital in our area. When I woke up this morning, I found out that it was my cousins eldest daughter and that she unfortunately passed away last night. She was prone to having seizures and has had them since she was a small child. There were many different surgeries and tests that she endured through. Last night she had a seizure, stopped
Hey. That's cool. Not like I'm running a fever. Can barely talk or anything. Call off work and "This is your third call off in a six month period, you're getting wrote up now it actually goes onto paper." It's ridiculous. The best part is even if i had a doctors note they wouldn't care or consider it. Pretty much now if I do call off anymore, I'll get written up each time. You can only be written up like four or five times before they fire you too. Well excuse me for getting sick and having
So. That was awesome. Good episode yes. Not so good? That girl I met and broke things off with, who was not on talking terms with me anymore. Is now stalking my profile elsewhere... and texting me again? She doesn't understand how that episode made any sense... And when did we get back on talking terms?
I wanted to take a course starting in September, but I cannot due to my financial aid scheduling. I'll have to wait another month until October. I guess I can't complain about having another month off school though. This just means I can get other important things done.
The past three days I've spent fiddle faddling with a new system and its components. It was not fully assembled until yesterday in the wee hours of the morning. I'm still in the process of downloading, updating, and installing but having a computer that is not five years old is amazing. It feels even better since I assembled the unit myself. I put a fair chunk of change into it, but I spent less on it than my previous laptop for school. It is so shiny. It is quiet too! My disc drive on my lapt
I managed to snag a copy of Darksiders, Bowser's Inside Story, and Golden Sun for $10 each. I also picked up the latest Complete Pokedex and a Pokemon Black/White Pokedex/Strategy Guide for about $10 each as well. The full retail value of these items is at least twice what I paid, if not triple the value... Snagged some really sweet deals. They also had Metroid Other M for like $5, but I didn't buy it.
Dratrat! So I was looking at my phone, and apparently we just passed a kid walking in the middle of the road and he lurched at our car as driving by. A zombie! I missed it because of messaging and ear buds....
If you did not get one at BrickFair and still want to there are some shirts available. They are $14 each. There are three shirt sizes still available: 2 Small 1 Medium 1 Large Shipping is $2 If you are interested in BZPower t-shirts see Bionicle Raport's blog.
Lasertag at Shadowland's right next to BrickFair is single-handily one of the best things about the convention each year. The previous year we had a team of eleven people, including: Toa Velox Spink Disky Friar Tuck Nuju Metru 55555 Emperor Whenua Xccj Toa Lhikan Hordika White Hat Yellow Shirt (Unknown member name) To commemorate that event we had BZPower Lasertag bricks engraved. This year we had a total of sixteen players. Brickeens Xaeraz Vezok's Friend Avokah Tamer Sumiki Bioncle
That girl I met a few weeks ago (almost a month now)... We had lunch again today... We had lunch before, saw a play, and went to a football game. Today was sort of strange. She was clearly interested in starting a relationship, but I did not feel the same way about her. She's a pretty cool person for being a nerd just like me, but there were things she needed that I could not be. Oh well, there are plenty of fish in the sea and I feel better having that weight off my chest.
