Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet

24 Feb

On Saturday, I accompanied Lester to another 501st event, this time involving a surprise visit to the Boy Scouts of America Pack 825 in Eastlake. Their annual Blue & Gold Banquet was Star Wars-themed and involved a cake decorating contest with the Cub Scouts. Little did they know that the adults running around looking at the cakes were the very same people up on stage in costume. (more…)

The above screencap pretty much sums up my expression the whole time I was watching this episode. Can you believe it’s almost over?

Finally got caught up with Gundam 00! I had episode 18 for a while; however, due to school kicking me in the butt, I wasn’t able to view anything until last night. I actually read up on summaries posted on Random Curiosity, so I’m still in the loop of what’s really going on, but to finally see everything unfold drove everything home.

I’m really excited for what’s to come, especially with the most recent turn of events. Anybody have any predictions for the next couple of episodes and what’s to happen to the rest of the cast?

Billy Herrington figma

I was checking out Good Smile Company’s site about the new figma lineup for the next couple of months and saw the above picture: a Billy Herrington figma. I…I’m seriously at a loss for words :x Immortalized six-pack! Muscles galore! Most definitely a spitting image of him. Check out GSC’s page for the figma. The poses they put him in are really amusing :D

It didn’t help that I went to Boing Boing and read up on Danny Choo‘s latest post about the former gay porn star and watched one of the many internet memes that have spawned because of him. I’ll never think of Cirno the same way again ;_;

Are there any figures or toys that have left you at a loss for words? Surprised you? Made you go “WTF?”

Love day

Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day, Singles Awareness Day, or neither, I hope you have a great day nonetheless. Someone out there loves you, whether it be your family, friends, significant other, pets, or whomever.

You can get all the most inexpensive or expensive gifts, gadgets, and gizmos for the one you love, but what matters the most is the fact that you love them.

Stress relievers

I’m usually one to always take a heavy workload, always juggling things left and right, rarely having free time for myself. I’m taking 6 classes, working for the campus newspaper, involving myself in student organizations, constantly doing homework, exercising, and still finding time to be with my family, friends, and video games. I finally caught up on a lot of homework that was supposed to be spread out in a span of two weeks but, due to getting an add code a week later that planned, I had to cram everything. I’m glad that’s over with.

Now that it’s the weekend, I think everything finally caught up to me. Not only am I tired and stressed out mentally, but physically as well. I found a bruise on my knee! Not too sure how it got there, but all is still well. I also have a blister on my hand from playing badminton. I forgot to take off my ring while playing so it put too much pressure and made a blister. Joy!

I’ve been catching up on sleep and staying warm and cozy in my room. My portable heater does wonders and heats up my room in minutes! I finally caught up on some Fallout 3 and found shooting mutants’ heads to be therapeutic (even though I was panicking the majority of the time). Too much on the mind makes me delirious.

Here’s my question to you: what do you do when you’re stressed out, frustrated, or tired? I’d love to hear what you do and whatever suggestions you may have.

押忍!

Well then, this was certainly a plot enhancer. Not only did we get to see the GN Archer piloted by Marie, but Tomino reigns supreme once more. Oh, Tomino.

Before hitting the jump, I’ve finally added an art gallery. Art is displayed from most recent to oldest. Future updates will take place both in the galleries and on the blog itself, so stay tuned. I’d love to doodle something again! I just need to find the time to do it again.

Also, I may be opening up for commissions. But first: must finish pending commissions from before. I’ll update once I free up my schedule for it. I’m lacking in funds due to various things :(
