WOW! It's been a month.

A month since I last blogged. Not much I want to talk about but since my last blog was about the scratchbuilt titan...

I just painted it.

some scratchbuilding going on

So I've been wanting to scratchbuild a titan for Warhammer 40K for a while now, and do it in a way that isn't crappy. I've had plans lying about my hard drive for ages and finally got around to building. I wish I took more pics of the actual making but maybe if I do it again (because Warhound Titans ALWAYS come in pairs) I'll do a VLOG about making it...

Last picture, from tonight. Added some random detailing and primed it. Now I need to decide between painting it in the War Gryphons colors or the Warp Runners...

FINAL BEDA! I WIN!

31 blogs in 31 days. I don't think I get a prize. So anyway on to content-random stuff of the day!

I got a part time job today. Only good news about it is I can say I have a job now and not look like a bum. But get this: they actually pay you for work! (unlike some places I will talk about eventually)

Gwen is avoiding homework and always running off to find someone to play with. This is bad. :(

I found sandals! And got some cheap "regular" shoes too.

In 2 days, I have covered 180 pages in a 507 page book.

There is a cat on my feet right now.

Kind of disappointed that I couldn't get a video interview of Gwen in this month-but she's being a bit of stinker about such things.

Maybe next month?

shouldn't be this hard!

I decided (maybe too late in the day) that I needed to get new sandals, as mine are sort of falling apart. So, while I was getting an oil change I wandered over to THE MALL in search of a new pair. My main problem here is that when I go to the mall, I normally filter out things from my vision that I usually ignore-like shoe stores. Anyway I eventually find all the stores and none have a decent, low cost, pair of sandals for me.

Heck, Target and Wal-Mart didn't have any either. Tomorrow, I may have to try other shoe stores. And come up with a good ending for my Blog Every Day in August...

revisiting the old days

Picked this up this weekend:

Planning on learning the "new version" when I get a chance. So far I like how they're doing the introduction.

This also reminds me-I need to pick up :(

In the meantime, I also have 4 books I want to read sitting on my "to read" pile. I should do the library book first...

predicting the future...

Going to go a little off beat today (a little?) and predict what will happen in the 2013 Doctor Who holiday specials.

Wait? Predicting 2013? But 2010 hasn't happened yet! Also, specials as in plural?

Well, yes. November 2013 is the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, and if they at the BBC wanted to make an EPIC special, they could do a 2 parter with part 1 on (or about the day of) the 50th anniversary, and part 2 being Christmas Day.

So, what would happen in this special? The rumor has been out there for a while that (SPOILERS) The Voice heard during the 2010 series was Omega-who was introduced and was the villian in the 15th anniversary special "The 3 Doctors". In that it took, well, 3 Doctors (incarnations 1-3) to stop him. The 25th anniversary was "The 5 Doctors", which Rassillon (most recently played by Bond, James Bond Timothy Dalton) and needing (wait for it) 5 4 Incarnations to stop him.

Right now, there are 7 living actors who have (cannically) played The Doctor (not counting Curse of the Fatal Death, but I'm sure Hugh Grant is willing for a cameo) so a 50th anniversary 2 parter called "The 7 Doctors" isn't totally impossible. Load it up with all the available companions and maybe the SJA and Torchwood characters and there is a recipe for an amazing look at 50 years off Who.

a long time ago

6 years ago today, I awoke to the news that my dad had passed away.

Here's the last picture I have of him and Gwen, taken about 2 months earlier.

(don't worry, tomorrow I'll be back to regular "form")
