Moving and Transitions

Man... I haven't been online in three days.. I feel lonely now. Plus, last night, the cable modem decided to go and overheat itself and burnt out the part of itself that connected to the actual cable (it'd register the cable as attached, but you couldn't get a signal to or from it.), so I had to go trade in for the same model, same make, but working, modem.

I put a few new pics up on the Mecha page... Two of the new Ronin Designs. I apologize if the 'instructions' on how to build the mech are weird; I'm using Drawing Board software, and, while it's good, it doesn't give you a straight technical readout like you'd find in a book. If you try and use this mech, and it doesn't come out as 'legal', let me know; I'll send ya the real deal.

I finished painting the "Zig Zag Edition" Cauldron-Born battlemech pewter fig. LOL... I wish I'd had a webcam... it's freakin' sweet... LoL Now my collection includes:

A Wolf-Pack paint-schemed Canis Battlemech (goddamn the figure's heavy.)
A Jungle-camo-schemed Hellhound.
A "Kaleb Personal" schemed Vixen battlemech
and finally, the "Zig Zag edition" Cauldron-Born Battlemech. (I wish to god they made alternate versions, but they never did. Just the basic)

With each one I finish, my skill in painting increases tenfold.

I finished a few other projects, and got a few more projects added to me. Those involved know what they are.

My moving is almost complete... I have to move my furniture and bed soon. I hope to get the comp over there by the time I get the bed there; I don't exactly wanna be disconnected for long. >_> I feel more at home online than anywhere else these days...

That's about all for now. Life is a little hectic, and even on days that I work, I can't be expected to be online, on time. XP Hope people understand.

Also, for now, BoF2 is on hiatus. You all have NO idea how hard writing through Simafort is. XP Goddamned Frogs... Such a boring point in that game. XP

FLCL

Y'know, I really don't know what to say about this thing.... I mean.. it's only six eps long... Almost NOTHING of it makes sense... and when it DOES seem to make some sense,.... they toss in something that STILL makes no sense. :S

Near as I can tell, the entire series (except for the last few minutes of the last ep), occur within the kid's brain. Sort of.. a symbolism of the struggles a kid's gotta go through on his way to growing up. Typical GAINAX approach. They did the same thing with Eva. Only Eva made sense.

It's a shame though... For all the 'intimate' moments they showed, without nude and stuff (cuz there's no nude in it, other than an ass at one point), I would have thought Naota would have either been with his (now long absent) older brother's former GF (who liked giving him hickies, but was mildly unstable mentally), or that 'tough' girl at his school.. the one that was the daughter of the mayor. Though.. I suppose the ending DID leave that one open to thought; She WAS drinking his drink after all. LOL....And whenever a girl drank his drink, it seems it was sort of a sign she liked him.

... and naturally, they never explain what FLCL actually means. (I suspect though, that it's a shrouded reference to physical and mental maturity, in regards to sex. I could be wrong though. :P LoL... I think I'll have to watch the eps over again to find out for sure.)

Now.. if only I could find episodes 3- End for the Gunbuster series...

BWA HAHAHAHAH!!!

XD I just learned of the most hilarious thing I've heard of in a long time; the Ultimate in Irony.... XD

I won't post it here, so if you wanna know, just ask me privately. XD LOL!

'scuse me, I gotta go and try and stop laughing so hard. I might break a rib... XD LOL....

Oddly... I am Projectless.

I recently completed one of my more important literary projects for a friend, and now, I realize that I am quite Projectless. Any remaining projects seem less important, or simply too annoying to pursue for various reasons, and at least one of them, i'm still waiting for feedback on. I expect no feedback though, as the people I want the feedback from ignored me entirely.

Thus, I am tempted to remove my chapter(s) from the Zig Zag Room group, because it seems... no one holds any interest in them. A critical question I asked of EVERYONE in the group, regarding the fic, and whether I should be writing other stuff, was utterly and completely ignored. Not just ignored. Posted over and forgotten.

It's quite disheartening, you know.

...

I just got a new blog, as it seems Ujournal crashed or something, and I expect not to get my account back there. So I'm merely replacing it.

I figured out why this one chick who I thought liked me had never responded to my phonecalls; she'd picked up a boy-of-summer and was with him. -_-#

It's times like this that I wonder if what I suspect about my own personal destiny is true. And usually, it is.

So my only place left is here, online... and even here, I have no home. No place to come to rest in.

I am the Last.
