Day 53

And so it continues...

Many moons ago, during my life with Chris Zilly, another person by the name of Phillip Cooper left a certain item in my protection. Now is the time that it becomes awesome.

There is only one problem: The long list of problems that comes with this project.

First, as seen in the picture from yesterday, there is much flash left to clean up. He built this model without much care for the looks of it. Can't say I blame him, as he is not really largely in to building these guys. It can be quite a task to clean up the parts properly, and when all you have is a nail file, it can prove quite bothersome.

The next glaring issue is that this model was designed to have the armor removed, exposing the frame underneath. The problem this poses is that I will simply have more work to do in prettying this guy up.


Here is a look at some of the frame hidden under the armor plating on the arms.


Here you can take a look at the legs below the armor plating.

All in all, I don't think this will be too big an issue. It will just take some time.
And since my new life without Chris Zilly began, I have had a lot of that on hand.

Days 41-52

Its been a while since my last post. Since I returned home I have had very little to do. I did do some stuff in my room which are pretty awesome, including the addition of a book shelf I received from Nancy over a year ago.



And so it begins.

Days 39 and 40

I have been at my grandfather's house for the past few days after returning from Hawaii. It's not so bad, because the food is good and I don't really have to do anything.

Not having to do anything, however, does not mean that I am not expected to do things. For instance mowing the lawn. Not really a big deal. In fact it was quite easy and quick. The only real issue with being here is that it isn't Hawaii. Oh well, however. What can I do?

Networking fucking SUCKS! It seems as though things are likely to not work even when every step is performed flawlessly. Port forwarding, for instance. I guess it might be a hardware thing. I am trying to help some friends of mine forward the proper ports to their Xbox350+10, but it seems to not be working. I think maybe they care less than I do. I just really want to figure out why this isn't working. @_@ Damn you, Belkin! Damn you to hell!

Oh well, things haven't been so eventful since I left Hawaii. I suppose stuff wasn't so eventful while I was in Hawaii either. Oh well. That's that I suppose.

Days 36-38

I'm back in Alabama now. Will probably be back in Tennessee in a day or so. Only been back for around an hour or two and I'm already bored out of my mind.

I want to go back to Hawaii.

"Days 27 - 35... I think" or "Fun without Chris Zilly"

Uncle Damian's Corncob pipe! It has been some time since my last post.
However! Due to popular demand

We are back. Oh, by "We" I mean "I".

It has been a fun time here in Hawaii, which is why I titled this post "Fun without Chris Zilly". Actually I didn't, but I would if not for the fact that the post name is already kinda long already.

Oh, fuck it. I'll go ahead and add it to the title.

There, done.

Waikiki

Poor positioning? Perhaps.

Hilarious? Fuck yes!

While here on this crazy chain of islands in the middle of the ocean, I have seen some strange things. Like beeches. Oh and water. What the fuck is up with all the water? Oh. Also these things.



The most wary of all bees.

Oh and this thing.



...yeah.

But oh the beauty of this wonderful place.

I have seen such sights which I will likely never forget.

Such as:

and


But there are also many humdrum locations on these islands, like this place.


These areas are all over the place, and are simply quite dull. What a bore.

I have been here for 12 days so far. Or 11. I don't like to count. This means, of course, that I only have 2 days left. Or was that 3? Oh whatever. You already know I hate to count.

There are a lot of brown people here.

So... uhh... seems some tornaders have been having their way with Murfreesboro. Glad I wasn't there. It's times like these that I wish Chris Zilly was still alive. If he was there he would have just stood up to those wind tubes and made them cry themselves away. Hes just that tall. I miss it.

The plane ride here was kinda long. And cramped. And I'm an average sized person. I can imagine that the flight to Japan must have been about the same for Chris Zilly. I mean, sure he probably had first class, but considering how huge he is I think that it was probably about the same scale.

I had probably the most awesome hot dog in the world while here in Hawaii. It's probably more awesome than any other. Not very hot though. Even the hottest. Meh. Delicious.

BioShock is really fucking awesome. Sure, it might be a FPS, but Great Odin's Raven it is awesome.

And not to blow anybody's mind, but Halo 3 is pretty fun. However, my like for that game might be due in no small part to RedVsBlue. Halo Wars also looks pretty much awesome. It is a RTS however and that makes it not so surprising that it might be good.

While in Waikiki I saw a street performer who was collecting money from pretty much everyone who was watching him. I missed the performance, so I had no idea how this wizard was able to coax everyone to give him their hard earned money. I call him a wizard because the only explanation that makes sense is that he cast a magical spell on them. It's science.

I later saw the same performer starting his show. He had a funny voice. It was a comedy show. I didn't get to see the show because a lot of stuff was going on which was delaying the beginning of the show. It seems as though he is funny, however. He uses basket balls for his show.

The Halo 3 XBox360 is readily available here. While I'm not a hard core fan of the series, this XBox model looks fucking amazing and I must have it. I wont have it, however, as I already have an Xbox. Oh well.

There are many loud birds here. Dear fucking lord they are so loud. So many birds. Some of them are funny looking. None of them fear humans.

Oh well. I suppose that is it for now. I will probably be back again soon. Probably sooner than the last time I was back. That was later.

Oh yeah. Also. Click on some of the images to see them. Many of them are too large to fit in to the frame and I am too lazy to fix it right now. Anyway. That's it.

Days 21 - 26

I think that count is right. Maybe not. I'll figure it out later.

My connection here in Hawaii has been a little iffy. It wouldn't be if I would just remember to get the password for the network here, but I have not remembered to do that and have thus had to leech an open wireless network which only has a reliable signal in one room of the house I am staying in. Even then the signal likes to just drop off from time to time.

Oh well.

I've just been hanging out. Haven't been playing Nintendo though, but that's ok. Still playing a lot of tower defense, however. It's pretty much FTW.

I don't have much else to say right now, so I'll leave you with a little Street Fighter. That seems to be a good thing to do.
