Good Morning All!
My dance card’s filling up fast, so I don’t know how much hobby I’ll get done this weekend. I’ve had to take a break from all the “pre-reading” for my ESL course. I’m burning out already, and technically, the courses don’t even start till Monday! Still, pledge I must!
Pledge: I’m going to work on stats for my two Battlesystem command groups: commander, bugler, standard bearer for both my orc horde and my barbarian horde. All the mini’s are done, including a few non-army figures that will jerk the characters around. Not sure I posted a finished version of this.
I like the translucent Reaper Bones stuff for doing watery critters. I brushed on primer on the base before painting it, but the water weird itself just got a bit of a wash around the face and base, and a ‘foamy’ drybrush in places. The final touch was gobs of shiny varnish.
I would like to work on game boards, but my nephew’s wedding snuck up on us, which will completely f*ck my Saturday. Rant complete.
Questions:
1. Who would I fight? Long story. In honour of Aboriginal Day last year one came through the front door at 11:30 at night and attacked Vi. I was already in bed as it was a weeknight and I had to be up at 4:30 AM. She got away from the guy and ran up the stairs to get me. She rousted me out of a deep sleep by yelling ‘Intruder’. Luckily for both of us, the guy tripped coming up the stairs, so I was able to meet him at the top of the landing. A kick to the chest sent him back down the stairs, and took most of the fight out of him. I was able to ‘entertain’ him till the RCMP arrived.
This spring I was cutting the tall grass beside the driveway and found a Colt .45 Peacemaker. I guess the guy had planned on using it, but dropped it, and couldn’t find it in the dark. I wondered why he didn’t at least have a knife or a baseball bat. Once I found that out I wanted to have another go at him. His hospital stay would have been a lot longer.
Next person I want to pumphandle: the guy who stole my miniatures from my LGS last September. I know who he is, but he’s moved to Nova Scotia.
Last person: the guy who stole my camera last week at my LGS!
2. Toileting: I’m an in-and-out kinda guy. I’ve got things to do! Normally I would just “pinch one off” but I’ve got a stomach bug this week, which has turned my ass into a shotgun, rather than dropping a satisfying steamy coiler.
3. The worst thing about being in school as a teenager was being in school as a teenager. Who thought it was a good idea to try and cram my head full of knowledge when all those raging hormones were controlling my life? Beer, pot, cars and girls were the only things I cared to learn about. I was on the 4-year plan in high school, and only graduated by the skin of my teeth. Odd, as I have a 4.3 GPA in university right now.
Jock? Guilty as charged. I was on the volleyball and basketball teams.
Music: sorry, can’t give you a link as I can’t play videos or bring up YouTube at work. Listening to Headstones right now “Long Way to Neverland.” I also like “Tweeter and the Monkeyman” if anyone is looking for more of their music.
I can see I have a lot to go through already! What a great start!
