As some of you know, I got called into work over the weekend. Now, Normaly this would suck, but, All I was doing at work was moving files from one place to Another and I got to use the Internet while doing so, So it wasn’t all that bad. Managed to Finish off Season 4 of Buffy and am now on the Second Disk of Season 5. I hope to have Season 6 done by DragonCon as I am dressing as Spike.

On Sunday I managed to do some Makeup tests, yeah they didn’t go so well so I am gonna do them again. Well see what Happens next weekend. By Next weekend I hope to have a Photo Layout of all the Costumes I am doing for the Con, at last count there was at least 7. I may not get to do all of them, But I will have them Ready. (:

So, its been a bit since I’ve posted, so sue me. I haven’t had that much to post the would be interesting anyway.

Well, I did it, something I thought I’d never do. I joined to company softball team at the company picnic. It was kinda fun and the kids got to play on a bunch of those inflatable things where they bounce and run around. Anyway, yeah I should work out. It was evident when my knees gave out rounding third and heading for home (scored the winning point in the championship game. Woot!). I didn’t fall but I was SO done after that. Thats what they get for making me catcher. (Technically, I didn’t catch anything either. /sigh)

Well, the rest of the weekend was spent in mucho pain. My knees were so sore that I could barely walk and I had severely sunburned my arms, neck and face. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

Well, we also took the kids out to the zoo yesterday, I looked pretty funny with the way that I was walking (pain) and the racoon face from the burn line around my sunglasses. It was fun but tack on ankle pain. If this is what getting older is all about I opt out!

Well Well Well Well Well, What another great weekend! Not mcuh Happened on Friday but Prepping for the House warming Party at Marc and Lori Pattons. And Sunday was Spent Driving Back from Said Party and then sitting at home all day sick. Not sure what I had, but it sucked. Didn’t want to do anything but Lay there and Groan. But….. SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!

ok So Saturday was the Party. Marc and Lori just moved into their new house and it Looked AMAZING, That is, after I finaly got there. See Amy and I left at around 12:30pm on Saturday. I was in No big hurry to get up and get my stuff ready. Only problem I did not account for? Traffic on 95 South. It was Horrible!! I mean we are at a dead stop at points! at around 2:30 I was starving and we were still 10 miles away from the exit we needed (mind you we were only going 5 miles an hour) So we stopped off and got a sandwich. Finaly arrived at the house at around 3:30 or 4. While pulling into the driveway of Their house I tried to Park but Ended up Sinking and sliding Into a Ditch. Car was at a Nice 45 deggree angle and 1 tire Off the Ground. Almost rolled the thing if it weren’t for the 15 guys helping me keep it on the ground. We Sent Amy out the Drivers window over top of me so she would be safe. Finaly someone grabbed a Tow Cable and an SUV and Pulled me Out of it. Then we headed into the Party! Quite the enterance Eh?

The Party was a great time. I had Planned to start drinking, especialy after my little Escapade in the Ditch, But alas there was nothing I was really interested in Drinking. I of course whipped out the Video Camera and Started Filming everyone else drinking tho! (: I will see about getting that Video up for people soon. We all eventually got into Armor and did a Little Film work for a Presentation. If you check out the Gallery you can see some of the Pictures of that. Around 11pm we all went for a nice walk through the Forest under the Light of a Blue Moon (and Lori’s Bright ass Spotlight!! I Swear I am gonna attach a Bat Image on the front of that). Then it was time to Crash out. Sunday brought the drive back (Ditch free) and the Icky Icky feelings. If I remember more from the weekend I am sure I will post about it.

Update: Also managed to pick me up a cool Little boom box for travel trips, It plays MP3’s as well! Very Handy and in-expensive!

Groan, I Echo Doc Post. Weekend was a Blast. Party, Cars, Traffic, Ditches, Drinking, Forests, Etc. I will be posting a Full report very soon. I still need to formulate.

Oh. Oh god. Head. Head … hurting. Alcohol not fun.

party evil … must … maintain … ugh.

And were are here to Pump [clap] you up! That right, I have jumped on the bandwaggon. I have been excersicing for the last week (roughly) so far I feel pretty good. I haven’gt noticed the Gut going anywhere but I guess that takes a little more time. The Gym in my apartment is pretty good. They have a good Low Impact Machine for Running which is great considering my screwed up knees. They have a TV in there with Cable and Video Jacks where we can Plug in the Portable DVD and watch More Buffy!!! (I finished season III BTW). I even started eating better (Kinda) I have cut out Soda (I miss my pepsi’s!!!) I Can only hope that I am in good enough shape when it comes to the costume for DragonCon. Here is Crossing Fingers!!!

Thats Right! The news is out! the title for Star Wars Episode III is officaly announced as “Revenge of the Sith”. Personaly I find this pretty damn cool considering the original title of ROTJ was Suposed to be Revenge of The Jedi and not Return of the Jedi.

Star Wars: Episode III | Special Announcement: Episode III Title

And of Course here is one of the coutdown clocks How many days left?

Hey there all, Had a really good weekend. Friday I got dressed up in the ole Scout gear and Went over to see the Guys running the Tribal Wars LAN event. Went really well, I am depressed that I didn’t sign up. Looks like it would have been really fun. Amy got lots of looks in her Trooper Groupie outfit (I think they were staring more at Her and not at me). Saturday was a Lazy morning and then a Night out with Some 501st Friends Steve and Rain. We hit a nice Japanese SteakHouse. Then off to the Potomac Mills Mall to watch I-Robot. Movie Review to follow. Sunday was a Gym day. Spent about 30 Min on the Low Impact Machine (My knees would have killed me had I done a treadmill). Then the rest of Sunday was nice and quiet. I am really getting on this Gym Kick. I have a Surprise costume coming for DragonCon and want to look Good in it. So it lots of Situps and Cardio. Must Loose this Gut!!! 

Oh!!  Almost forgot to add.  We picked up a Great Dress for Amy to Wear in Costume.  The File Name gives it away a bit (as with the inlet).  She is really happy with it.  Here She is

So, I-Robot. This was a Really good movie. The action sequences were well done and the Plot was very straight forward. I know it was Based loosely on an Isaac Asimov story. While I had not read the book. The Ideas presented were done very well. If I say anything about it I know it would give it away. If your looking for Just Sci-Fi and Action with no Plot, then look elsewhere. If you want all that and a good Story too, then go See I-Robot

Ok so the videos from Belagosa got me thing about a number of things. First I decided to run a test on the capture software and built this little Rebel advertisement. Arik brought up the Idea that I might be able to film my Fan Film Idea in SWG. I would need the help of one of the Devs but I think I can do it. We shall see. Other than that, Pretty slow week. Will prolly go see I-Robot this weekend. Might post more soon.

Wow, What a weekend, I really did pretty much nothing!

I know it’s hard to believe but it’s True. On Friday I stayed in and watched some More Buffy. Played a little swg but not much.

Saturday I leisurely woke up and went over to Jen’s house to help Amy babysit. While there we (you guessed it) watched more Buffy. . Sunday was a very lazy day, Went out to try and find a new Balaclava cause I lost mine at shoreleave. After that, Yup, more Buffy. . I managed to get to the 6th Episode on Season 3. I know next weekend is a mini-con, I hope to get a new Balaclava before then. /sigh Well here is something to keep you Busy, this dude has some Funny SWG videos on his site, Check it out!
