Thundercats are on the move, Thundercats are loose . . .
So, last night as I was driving home from work, there was this wicked cool fog. Couldn't see worth jack about 10 meters ahead of ya and everything. It was neat how highways I drive on weekly suddenly looked so different with the fog hiding everything else around it (it looked like I was suddenly on a bridge and stuff).
The new cardboard weapon project at work is Zangetsu. "Boromir" even gave me the project specifically even though he'd most likely have the most time to do it. So I guess I'll try to start it up on Wednesday or so in between doing real work . . . I hope. Oh yeah, funny story, a regional supervisor came to check out our store the other day and as he was cleaning out the back room he found our "weapons cache". For the record, we now have 2 variations of the Cloud sword, 1 or 2 Sephiroth swords (probably 1), a spear-type thingy which we say is Cid's, and . . . I also made a Barret Gatling thingy (still in progress). To be honest, I'm amazed we're all not fired or something yet. Anyway, regional-guy saw them, picked one up, looked at it funny, then put it back (or so "Boromir" tells me). Fun times.
The brother bought "The Movies" for PC. He's been playing it well into the nights. I have yet to really try it so far. It looks really funky, though, and I can't wait to give 'er a shot.
I made my cousin in Cowtown get Skype. After he did, everyone in the house on his end ended up crowding around the computer to chat with me. It was fun. I still sucked at speaking Chinese with my grandma, though . . . all good, though. Oh yeah, and then Duo waved at them from Kansas.
I'm glad I'm done that first essay (for the record, my prof seemed to really like my title, "Self-Inflating Saber Rattling and the Awesome Arthurian Lack Thereof"). Now I just have to read a ton of Sherlock Holmes stories so I can think of something neat to present about on Tuesday (just a short thing, maybe 5 minutes from my seat). As well, I need to write an essay - most likely also involving Sherlock Holmes - by Thursday. Then all shall be well.
Did you guys know Sherlock Holmes was a cokehead? He was. Kinda catches you off guard if you didn't know, huh? Ah, silly Victorians . . .
The other day I finished printing the last few pages of "Life is Like a Boat" for piano. It's 11 pages altogether, is in B Major, but sounds really really good. I'm still clunky but it doesn't sound horrible anymore. Heh, here's hopin' the muscle-memory can kick in for it. I dunno, I really like playing it - I'm even practicing it when other people are still in the house!
. . . okay! Today I read ALL day and figure out my presentation so I can basically spend all of Monday trying to write the essay! [cracks knuckles and ties headband]
Random SomeGuy Trivia: In my entire life, I have only ever seen one full Thundercats episode. Despite that, I have a powerful urge to want to buy a DVD set. Go fig', I guess.
