Emerald City ComicCon was epic. Our booth was in the very opening of the registration room, so we got plenty of visitors. We also had a few guests visit the booth and check our stuff out. Wil Wheaton signed a model depicting himself signing the model. Very meta. The voices for Pinky And The Brain signed a mosaic of the characters, which was pretty epic. John DiMaggio visited the booth, but was bummed to find nothing there for him to sign (he voices Bender in Futurama.) As for me? I MET BATMAN.
Like all of Washington state, I too was hit with the snow "dump" as it were. And like most of Western Washington, I'm stuck with Puget Sound Energy with no way to change. And like most of the PSE customers, my power's out at home. Unlike them? I can go to work in a building UNDER A DIFFERENT POWER UTILITY, and charge my laptop (and use the internet). So yeah, no work on BS01 until next week at the earliest.
And we're off to a slow start, as usual. I have to build the volcano (won't take long) and then we build Mt. Ihu, then decorate 47 more baseplates with plates and bricks. In other words, we've got a lot of work ahead of us x_x But hey, MATA NUI : D
So Xccj visited the studio last Thursday. He has an okay write-up on his blog about it. During his visit, we looked over the proposed space where we'll be building, and he and I got Dan sort of up to speed on it, where we'll have time to sit down and plan out how we intend to build all of it. For the most part, we'll have everybody submit models and (if possible) detailed instructions on more complex parts so we can easily replicate it between both of us. That will take out the footwork of w
So, I get to work today, and lo and behold I'm already slammed into work. That's fine, that's why I'm there. I had designed a model last year for Dan, a firehall based in New York (Hook & Ladder 8, also known as the Ghostbusters HQ) and we're not sure what happened, but it got damaged in a specific place. So the back wall is removable. On one side is a set of windows and (badly designed) fire escape. On the reverse is a blank wall, that way we can put it in any display where we have limi
Man, where did all this free time for gaming come from? : O
Also, 61.something in LSW3. Man, this game is massive. Think LEGO Harry Potter massive, only not as confusing to navigate as Hogwarts was.
I'm a glutton for Pink Floyd, I am I went to FYE and found Delicate Sound of Thunder, plus a live DVD concert film of David Gilmour (Remember That Night: Live at the Royal Albert Hall), then went to Wal-Mart, saw The Making of Dark Side of the Moon, which I had seen on Netflix once or twice, and I loved immensly. So I picked that up, too. Next time I get a load of cash? The Wall Immersion. I've made up my mind. Anything new with you guys? XD
5: Five total commissions. 11: Eleven days of in-shop work. 57 1/2: Hours put in for these five projects alone since the last paycheck. 560.63: What I earned. Infinity: Knowing full well I put a Monolith in one of the projects, and then turned around and knocked out a 2 week Mosaic in 2 -days-. Oh, and we glued it down too. Infinity+1: My head's altitude after 8 days of nonstop gluing with some fumes. @_@ And finally: 1: How I feel after overexceeding my boss' expectations that we
So we've wrapped up the final components to the Death Star. It can now be happily assembled by one man in about 30-40 minutes. We'll put that to the test on monday when we finalize its assembly in a larger area. Once it's done, we can pack it away and progress forward on more projects. Basically speaking, it's time to move on. No more dark side, we have to get going. And I'm actually looking forward to moving on. Oh also, my phone. I love it. That is all.
So I get to work today, and my boss drops this bit of news on me: We need to clear out the space Xccj and I built the island of Mata Nui MOC in to make way for a birthday party in a few short weeks. That means the island had to move. Like now. So, it's now at my house, along with Green Lantern and Captain America (the megafigs we made). Any changes needed to be made must be made at my house now. In other words, I cannot fix the volcano nor the mountain. BUT! I can repair Po-Koro and ad
1. Gotta finally upload photos for a client who paid me in advance (money in which I used to go to BrickCon.) I've had so much on my plate, it's been put off until now. 2. Need to do basic cleaning of the household. I already overhauled it, but man it could use more work. 3. Boss called me up yesterday to generate a mosaic for him, due sunday night. Man, when'd I get the cool job/hard job? 5. Sleep. _-_ Zz
But when I do, I prefer to post something amazing. Boss wanted me to add links and stuff on BS01 to sites I cannot mention here (but got permission to link on BS01 from Black Six, so I'm safe to link it on BS01) so I made him a new logo, cause I couldn't stand the last one. He liked it.
I'll be working on setting up this year's train layout. Would anybody be interested in pics and/or a video of one of the trains going on the track? Also, I could use a break already x_x but I have Wed-Fri off : D
Curse you, Niners. And you as well, Lions. At least we're not 4th place NFC. Thanks for that, Rams : D Oh well, 8-8 season beats 2-14, RIGHT INDY & STL? : D : D Alright, I'm not much for bandwagon hopping, but if I must I must... Packers or Saints for NFC, Ravens or Broncs for AFC. That's my choices.
