I saw Thor this evening.  It was awesome fun and I am digging the Marvel Studios movie continuity that's linking the films.  Asgard in CG was very pretty and the 3D effects were done nicely, as in they didn't look like paper.  Some of the CG particle effects were awful, though, which is sad, as particle effects are sometimes the only good thing about CG.  And I didn't see any background cameo of Beta Ray Bill.  I am disappoint.

Still a fun, movie, though.  Can't wait for Avengers!

Male or female, a swift kick to the crotch can still be disabling.  Males are a bit more sensitive, but that's not to say that females are immune.  They do make female cups for a reason.

Argh... methinks I need to get my foot x-rayed.  It hurts to put pressure on it.

Bah.  Damn cold or whatever.  Went to FCBD, was around kids, and now I'm sick.  Kids are rife with disease.

I have lost the impulse to defend myself physically. That can be blamed on my father. That, and the fact that I have such low self-esteem because of how skinny I am.

My scrawniness is what makes me more apt to physically defend myself.  Just because I lack the musculature doesn't mean I lack the strength, agility, and knowledge on where to hit.  And knobby elbows make for great weapons.

And now that I'm done with that, what am I gonna do next?

I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!

...Or at least to a local 501st armor build party.

Posted on: April 29, 2011, 08:42:22 AMI tried one last time to take decent pics of at least one of my RPG miniatures.



My camera still sucks.  So, here's a crappier pic of the minis on a set of stairs I had made years ago.



Crappy camera is crappy.

Thankfully, I only have IBS, which is pretty much Crohn's Lite.

Anywho, pics!

Well, some things happened in this evening's installment of Wizardry 6: Bane of the Cosmic Forge.  After numerous battles, including one against giant wyrms [sic], Dengar finally caught up with everyone in terms of level.  He is now at Level 6 and he learned Poison.  So, he can share some of Zuckuss's spells.

Shortly afterward, the crew remembered a poster from another part of the dungeon; someone named "L'Montes" was looking for a "Snoopcheri."  So, on a hunch, the bounty hunters trek to the "Scaredy Tower" where the mysterious person is hiding behind the door.  Bossk says "Snoopcheri" and the door opens.  A tall, stalwart man named L'Montes steps out and inquires about Snoopcheri.  So, Bossk hands over the stuffed beagle that he had been toting around.

"Snoopcheri!" says L'Montes, "Back in my arms at last!"

As reward, Bossk was given a silver key with which to unlock the Captain's cell.

The only problem now is finding the Captain's cell, so the bounty hunters returned to scouting the castle.

I avoid a blowdryer.  It makes my hair poofy.  I can't stand that.

Oh, if anyone's curious...  The X's in that pic?  They're just there to remind me to fill it in with black.  For larger pools of shadows, until the other details are worked out, I'll just put X's in them until I fill them in, keeps me from smearing my pencils.  Also helpful for if I don't feel like filling them in with pencils and prefer to do so with inks or digitally.

The first pic is simply a few Marines celebrating their former drill instructor's birthday.

Posted on: April 22, 2011, 04:13:47 AMMade some progress on that in-progress pic, which Imageshack resized. 



Yeah, this will take some time, still, and require me to purchase some more lead for my pencil.  Definitely going in my portfolio when it's done, though.
