    Today, I opened the mailbox to find that the two envalopes containing a total of 150 tread pieces (100 in one and 50 in the other, plus some cogs spread out between the two).
     
    This meant it was time for part one of my grand scheme

    Part 2 will begin as soon as the motor and battery case i ordered from LEGO come in the mail, and part 3 will begin once the IR receiver isn't on back order anymore.

    Beyond tired. At work for the past week I've been working non-stop to get the place ready for a visit from the company VP. I am now so tired from work, that I have changed my name from serpent of fire to Princess Serpent of Fire. I've also become gender confused as y profile now says I'm a girl. Just for kicks.
     
     
     
    I am so gonna regret this tomorrow.
     
     
    And somebody please remind me to set my gender back when I'm done.

    The Ads.

    By Serpent of Fire,

    Wow, I just saw an ad for a local initiative up on the coming elections. I've seen ads that say the name of my hometown pop up from time to time, but never anything that specific.

    A rather normal week this week. Had to write a paper for English, draw some stuff for my art classes, and go to work. I don't think I've said just what it is I do, so here it is. I work in a local retail store, where the store director usually gives me a to-do list. The list usually consists of things I need to clean, like trash cans, pillars, mirrors, freezer doors, and vending machines. No I do not clean bathrooms. Believe it or not, thats actually a management position (You have to be Haz-Mat trained for that job). Sometimes I pull carts out of the parking lot or move broken ones to a certain part of the store. Its a fun job.
     
    In the gaming side of things, I bought the Wii Zapper today. Link's crossbow training is a lot more fun than it looks. For some reason I can't help but think of the old game Duck Hunt, one of my favorite games thats probably older than I am which I still have on my working NES. A small video game store opened up not far from where I live. I went in the other day, and saw something I'd never seen, at least not recently. Games for every single system since the NES lined the walls. I've finally found a place where I can get some "new" games for my NES, without downloading them from the Wii's virtual console.
     
    I know, I'm a Nintendo fanboy at heart.
     
    On the flipside, i've been playing Halo a lot. I've been trying to get some people together to go after the Vidmaster Annual achievement. I've found the people, now its just a time issue. I was excited to find out about Halo 3: Recon. Looks like now we all can haz Recon.
     
    I may be posting a MoC in the BBC forum eventually. It will be my first Rahi MoC in years, I really like the way it came out. It looks a bit like a Bahrag head mixed with Graalok's body. Sorta. It's not the most custom MoC in the world, as I used at least 7 torso pieces, using three different kinds in 2 different colors. It should get an interesting reaction, if it even gets one at all
     
    Thats about it for this week, see you next time. /report

    Not much to report this week. Lots of cleaning at work to prepare the store for a visit from the company VP, so things are getting a bit chaotic. School this week was kinda slow. For english I had to watch Remember the Titans, talk about it throughout the week, then write a paper on it. Finally a good movie to watch for a school project. One of my art classes was cancelled this week because the instructor wasn't there. Hope everythings alright. In my other art class we're making shadow puppets. The assignment comes in three parts. The puppet itself, a performance, and then they go to the school art gallery. I've been having some fun with it.
     
    I went bowling last night with my dad, brother, and some people they work with. I'd tell you how I did, but that would be way too embarrasing...
     
    I've been doing some work on the Blog. I'd like to be able to add to the Links of Interest content block, so if there's anything you'd like to see there (Links to specific topics in the Reference Desk, your favorite official topic, your lates MoC or art topics), just PM me and I'll be happy to add it in.

    Crazy week this week. My grandparents came over saturday, bringing my uncle back from Montana. I happened to catch a cold last weekend which caused me to have to leave work early on monday. Luckily I was able to work on thursday to make up for it. Unfortuneatly, I had to be at work by 6 AM. Way to early in my book. Schools going well, not much to report on there. Today happens to be my 19th birthday. My birthday started with work this morning at 8 o'clock. When I got off work, my dad and I got some pizza. Then we went to the local video store to use the last of a years free rentals that came with the Wii we got there a year ago.
     
    As I was waiting to check out Guitar Hero Aerosmith, another guy there who was having trouble with his account pointed out a display of something called Hot n' Spicy Pickle in a Bag. It was literally one pickle sealed in a plastic bag. The guy wanted so badly for someone to buy one of the bagged pickles that he offered the employee there $20 to eat it. It didn't happen. When it was my turn to be helped, when opening my account to check out the game, the worker noticed it was my birthday, and I got two more rentals. So I picked out Iron Man, and let my dad check out Speed Racer.
     
    Later, after rocking out on Guitar Hero for a couple of hours, the family took me to a local burger joint for dinner. Best burgers ever. After that we went shopping. I bought Mario Kart Wii with some Birthday money and my employee discount. On the way home we stopped at Dairy Queen to pick up my birthday cake. If you've never had a cake from Dairy Queen, you're missing out. We ate cake and watched Iron Man, then I played Mario Kart. Since I rented the game earlier this year, most of the stuff was already unlocked, so I just dove into the online game.
     
    That's it for this week. /report

    Welcome to the At-Sign Report. I am going to be posting blog updates on either a weekly basis, or whenever I can remember to post an entry.
     
    This week, I posted in the What PM Title Do You Want? topic:

     
    I actually got this PM earlier today. I just bought the Universe... with 55555's money.
     
    On monday I started college. I'm taking a Graphic Design class, learning how to use Adobe Indesign. I'm in an art class, where we're talking about lines. Fun Stuff. My last class that I'm enrolled in is an online English class. So far its a bit more interesting than a standard class, although there is a bit more work involved.
     
    On top of school, I also have work. I've spent a lot of time cleaning up the entrances of the store, picking up trash, moving carts from the parking lot into the store, cleaning fitting rooms, yadda, yadda, yadda.

    The Conduit

    By Serpent of Fire,

    Last week I bought the Conduit for the Wii. Looks like we finally have a developer thats taking the Wii seriously.
     
    Anyway, I'd like to know if anyone here plays it online. I've already posted my codes in the Wii friend code topic, but nobody else there has posted codes for the Conduit. If you play the Conduit over Nintendo WFC, please add me (And PM me if you do!)
     
    Game: The Conduit
    Code: 2665-0145-6718
    Name: Serpent
     
    Edit: I think that I should probably add that I do not have a Wii Speak...

    The Skrall

    By Serpent of Fire,

    Finally got a Skrall today. Canister sets haven't been this good in a while. As I was putting it together I noticed that the helmet and shield have kind of a rocky texture in places. It looks pretty good standing next to Atakus and Kithnar.
     
     
    I'm definitely going to have to get Tuma and Stronius, when it comes out.

    Today I'd like to introduce a new feature to my blog: Internet Junk of the Week. This is where I will post random, pointless, stupid (and site appropriate) garbage that I stumble across on the internet. Today we have a demotivational poster:

    This Years Loot.

    By Serpent of Fire,

    So this year, I got:
     
    Two piece skillet set

    Lego Pirate Fountain of Youth
    Lego set of the scene from the second Pirate movie where the tribe wanted to eat Jack Sparrow

    Kinect Sports 2 (The football in that game is awesome)
    clothes
    no-tear toilette paper
    toy lightsaber
    Lego Volkswagon Camper Van. Havent built it yet because the Imperial Flagship set taught me that sets with that high a part count take a good chunk of time to build.

    By Serpent of Fire,
