Would you believe I made it to bed before Midnight? Took last night Slow and did some last min Modifications to some armor pieces. Played a little SWG, But overall didn’t do much of anything. And it was nice. the downside is I still have a room Full of Crap. I don’t know when I Will EVER be able to actually sit and clean that room up. I almost feel like I need someone to Sit over mu shoulder and say “You really Don’t need that”. Any Volunteers? Bring a Shovel! Actually it’s times like this when I really wish I had my Truck already. Would be easier to just Load stuff up in the Truck and Take it to the trash. Should be a slow night. May write more later.

My Days Slow down in Intensity as a prepare for the coming storm. Today is Wed. Friday see’s the return of an old friend and a much needed soul search. Sunday is the Parade and my First Step into the 501st. I regret only that I must leave the Parade no Later than 3pm as I have to be at the Airport at 4 for a 5:50 Flight to Vegas where I spend the entire week Learning about Microsoft and their Borg like ways (I say this knowing That I have barely touched anything except a Windows machine). When I return, More Soul Searching, and then Rest. Wow, I am feeling very Melancholy today. What’s up with that? Well tonight I will spend a quiet evening at home alone, Contemplating my existence, Or Playing Galaxies, Or Working on Armor, Something like that. /sigh

[Breathing Huge Sigh of Relief] After a Full afternoon of Maddening running around and taking care of things, The Financial issue I had is resolved and all is well. I look at the next two weeks and realize that I am going to be One Busy Mo-Fo! The Rest of this week I have to Clean and Prep because Next week I am flying to Vegas all week. This coming weekend I am Hosting a Very Special Visitor in my life. Sunday I will be marching in a Parade, The Inaugural Showing of my Scout Armor. When I get back I have one More weekend with my Visitor, Then back to work, I am thinking that the weekend after that I will be Relaxing at Home and Trying Desperately to Clean up my Den (aka, the Sighing Room). I have avoided it for Far too Long and all it’s doing is getting worse. It’s finally time to HOUSE CLEAN (it is Spring you know) But thats not for another 2 weeks. Good Gods, I remember the time when I Never planned that far in advance, what’s happened to me!!!!

Check out the POTM to See the Coolest thing that Happened to me over the weekend. I have been Transformed!!! Just waiting on my TB ID number from 501st and it will be official! Hehehe So yeah Sunday we put it all together at Lori’s Place, even Had Ken Knight and Cricket stop by to help out. Big thanks to everyone! This would have to be one of those Childhood Dreams come true. Ever since ROTJ I have LOVED the Biker Scouts, and now I am one! I will be marching with the 501st in the St. Patty’s Day Parade going through DC so Keep an eye out for us if your In the Area. Will prolly do an Update a little later on.

UPDATE: Just finished Painting my Pistols!!!! I finished Building the Scout Blaster and Received my Orange Kenner DL-44 from E-bay so Tonight I painted!!! Also I have been informed that I will have an Awesome weekend, Especially Sunday! So make sure you check back here for all the Updates!

It’s Friday!!! WhooHoo!!! Time to go out and…. Oh wait, that involves money. Damnit. Ok uess I will stay home and Play Galaxies. I so need a new First person Shooter. The Twitch Gamer in me is, well, Twitching. I need Fast movement and Swing Around And Rockets Flying and Oh OH OH!!!!! When does Tribes Vengence come out? Or even Star Wars Battlefront Sigh, Anyways. Will also be working on my Armor some more. I have one Pouch done! Hey it’s a start. You may notice some more work done on the site, I added a frame for the POTM so it’s actually it’s own page now instead of just the picture. I believe I fixed the Camera now so it won’t be quite so out of Focus, That drop at Farpoint kinda messed it up. Maybe this weekend I will work on some Roll over Buttons for the Menu. Any other Suggestions of things to Add? Well This weekend might turn out pretty Boring, At the rate I am going on some of this Sewing, I may not have everything done by Sunday. Sigh, I know the Gods are Looking Down at me and Laughing.

You know, One of these Days I might actually try this Sleeping thing I have heard so much about. Been pretty busy the last few days. My Scout Blaster is All finished except for Painting. well see if I can manage that tonight, but it’s been raining so I don’t want to paint if it’s too Humid. Will Take pictures when it’s done and Post them. Went to Lori’s last night to work on the Soft parts of my Armor, while there we Realized that it’s going to be a bit harder then we imagined. I will have to do a lot of hand sewing because the Cloth is Too thick for a normal sewing Machine. I think that one of my future investments will be a Strong Sewing machine. Especialy if I am going to be doing more Costuming. So I will spend the next few days Handsewing my pouches and such. It would seem that, Hopefully, Sunday will be the Big Day, I will Finaly be in all Armor by then and Should ahve some pictures for you. Cross your Fingers!! Oh yeah, by the way, I have totaly re-written my About Me Page Go check it out!

[yawn] Soooo Tired, I really should get some Sleep eventually. Was up late doing a mess of things last night. I started building my Scout Pistol for the outfit. So far so good, it’s all wood right now and Should be finished by tonight, Then to Paint it black and it will be good to go. I might be able to make another 2 with the Materials I have. Spent the evening Playing some SWG again (of course) and Got into a Nasty Fight with the Bastards from TEEA, a Local Imperial group. Ok my question is, Why do all imperials on Bloodfin HAVE to be Buttheads. I would Sit there and WATCH them Use exploits. Then they start ranting that They are doing nothing that isn’t “In the Game” and then Give us Tons of Crap because we are Not Fighters. What a Pain in the butt. I really wish that the /report feature would actually do Something. Most of thier Guild would be Banned by now. [Sigh]

SIDE NOTE: By POpular Request, No More Stars. Weekend Update! And what a weekend it was. Lets see Starting on Friday, John flew in from NE and we Met up for Some Steak at a local steakhouse. Sweetwater Tavern. I Highly suggest it. After than we headed back to my Place to catch up and hang out. Saturday, We headed out to Go to Lunch, This time at a Place called Kilroys. Another great place to eat, just watch out for the Snippy 21 year old Waitress with the Gianormous hicky on her neck. Anyways, John split off to go Do his stuff (which he should really write about on HIS website) and I went shopping for my Future as a Scout Trooper. I finaly Decided to start buying the Parts needed for a Scout Trooper Outfit. I have been doing a lot of Reasearch and Believe I found all the components I need for the Best Prices. It’s still going to take some time to get every thing together. Managed to get a Black Flight suit, My Boots, and Material for the Soft Armor parts which Lori has ever so Graciously offered to help me make. The Next Day I Finally managed to get the house back in order so I could start on a few projects, to Include making my Scout blaster from Scratch. Most of it will be made from wood, which is good because it’s CHEAP! John Finaly showed up again and Is now Feeling better after about 2 Gallons of water I poured into him, must have been a good party (: Any ways, I am off to bed now and BAck to work tomorrow.

I Lied. Last night while I was Sitting and Playing Galaxies, I moved my Foot and my Toe nail (yes the bad one) got caught on my Blanket. It pulled it just enough to start a tear (ironicly it didn’t hurt…… Much) So anyways, I Examine it and Decide that Without the nail on, (really it was going to fall off eventually) It would have a better chance of healing and not getting Infected. Now the real Reason I didn’t Put a Picture up to start with is because with the Nail on it didn’t look all that bad, BUT NOW IT’S HORRIBLE!!! So I thought I would Share (: Aren’t I nice? So… In other news, Hmm Wait, I have no Other news. Ahh Well, If something comes up I’ll Add to this. Morning All!!!
