No boarding? What is this heresy? Ready the grappling hooks! Secure the air-locks!

'Boarding', a non haiku by SM

Boarding, boarding, is so much fun, when you board everyone!
Pirates or starships or anything in-between!
Land combat on the high seas!

Yep. It sucks. I got 2 hours of sleep last night and it wasn't all at once. Mostly stress related. I just played kotor for a while. Then switched to Skyrim. Then Forza. Then some halo. Then I watched some netflix. slept for like half an hour then woke up and went and threw up. And then pretty much repeated the cycle.

@Bio: ew, and yup no fun at all. Get well soon,\.

Well, hope things brighten up, Bio. Being sick always sucks.

Ahh, peppermint ice cream and mountain dew game fuel float. Odd, but amazing. My dad said he'd peel me off the wall in a few minutes. Guess I should do some extra exercises tonight.

It's mostly because of stress. Still sick. Doubt I'll sleep tonight either. However, my friend bought me a katana. It's pretty sweet.

Napoleon: Sorry about your loss

Bio: Sorry about the car... Those things can be a pain when they aren't working right.

Anyways, aside from catching a really nasty cold from my niece this past week, things have been going fairly well for me.

My wife and I have gotten most of the furniture moved from our parents' houses to our house (I still need to pick up my LEGO stuff), and the house is starting to look like a home (although definitely the abode of some geeks: We have a framed Quibbler poser hanging in the hallway, and an official "Undesirable #1" plaque hanging in the kitchen for one thing).

The HVAC guy from a reputable local outfit came by Friday to see if he could fix my heating system, and he was able to get it working (so no more space heaters), and the best part is that the seller will likely have to reimburse me: According to our contract, the heating system was supposed to be fixed before the sale, but due to the seller being a cheapskate and hiring some fly-by-night operation to hook up the new circulator pump to the thermostat, they had the 120v trigger voltage for the pump running directly into a 24v relay, causing said relay to burn up, meaning that the problem was the seller's fault.

Additionally, our internet/phone service was activated Friday (I need to repair my one phone though: the Touch-Tone dialer circuit went bad sometime in the last few months), and we now have consistent 10mbps connectivity (where with Verizon Wireless internet it was somewhere around 500kbps). The best part is that unlimited Long Distance phone, high-speed internet and TV is costing me about the same as JUST the wireless internet from Verizon, so I'll be calling Verizon up tomorrow and telling them where they can shove their wireless modem....

My wife and I also were at the Arundel Mills LEGO store today and got two Hobbit sets (Riddles for the Ring and An Unexpected Gathering) as well as another Uruk-Hai Army set and the Swarm Interceptor Galaxy Squad set. I can now confirm that the Blue squad's legs, arms and helmet is the exact same color as the ADU troopers, meaning that I can easily integrate them into my ADU MOCs.

Finally, we've managed to get most of the pets moved in as well (the cats are still somewhat jumpy since we're still moving stuff around and adding new pets to the mix) and my workbench and tool box as well... Now I can FINALLY get some real projects done (like fixing the aforementioned phone as well as building my super surge supressor).

Wow, how many pets do you have, Hikaro?

So, I hate L'Enfant Plaza. Stupid muties kept killing me and my squad from all directions, especially Clover. Finally, I reloaded the save for like the sixth time, and then used my sniper rifle to pick off the most annoying two, and then used a rocket launcher to blow up the whole freaking road. Srsly, like 20 cars and buses and such all went kablooey, sending muties flying everywhere. Then I walked through and took what I wanted, and gave nothin' back. *cue PotC theme*

EDIT: Wow, man, things are still going off. A couple idiot muties hung on somewhere, fired their guns, and then a whole new stretch of road lit up.

EDIT: Holy crap an overlord. I hate these guys! I barely saved Clover in time, and the overlord's last shot set off more vehicles. This is ridiculous.

Oh, wow, this is sad. I had no idea.

Last night was a bad night too. Over the last 3 days I've gotten about 6 hours of sleep. Last night I didn't fall asleep until 0430, and woke up at around 0600. I threw up before I went to bed again. This sucks.

I think I posted that on Wednesday. I was wrong. I messed up my tire and had to put the spare on. I'm hoping that all it is is the tire and not more. Hoping tomorrow it is able to get fixed. Also, the guy I was thinking of buying the gun off got fired, so I don't know if that is an option now. I was pretty much gone yesterday except for about 1 hour.

On the positive side, I spent about 5 1/2 hours in discussion with on Friday about some of the new items for late next year. I love being able to assist in that way and it's my favorite part of working for BrickForge. That always gets followed by my least favorite part.........waiting for them to come out.
