three three the tird so dar

Woo diary, its a fine day.
in fact its three days off for me, means time to relax, time to enjoy. Say hello to friends in canada and the like. Since moving to canada in order to hide from England for a little bit. So far i have made quite a few people im willing to call friends. Antonio and Christophe that i work with. Several of the geeks, Neil, Cameron, Brian and such. WE play eve together. We fight with sticks and the like. So its all good. the good times are my store is doing rather well so far for the month of December. With luck and the drive we have shown we will Win it. I have high hopes, All the managers are new to the position. Yet we are first so far, with the cry of bwahaha.

And yes i realize im writing like im talking to a book but ah well. We just have to see how this story pans out. I doubt this journal will be found in long times from now and studied, I was tempted to fill it with arcane scribblings and mystical lore.

Im starting to feel sorry now for Hiati. Earthquakes, drought, flood sand now cholera. Its pretty bad over there from what i can tell. The infection has spread out to the Dominican republic, Ouch, there words are as follows

Drastic measures'

"If the number of cases continues to increase at the same rate, then we are going to have to adopt some drastic measures to be able to treat people," said MSF's head of mission Stefano Zannini.

"I can easily see this situation deteriorating to the point where patients are lying in the street, waiting for treatment

Can you imagine that. It makes me thankful that im first world born. Its rare these days to pause and even consider things like that, so i took a moment. Just for a moment of my day i didnt take the food or clothing or ease of water and such things for granted, It was a humbling experience. Would that i were a better man or some such. for soon enough i realized i was distracted with the comings and goings of my world once more, My petty concerns and the like.

I am sorry diary I am sorry that im emoting to you in such a manner, that your not full of the whimsical fantasy or childhood delight. So i shall leave you be for now. Maybe i will become rich, or great, famous or well thought of and you will be treasured.

Good day diary
OLLA DIARY
Dear little book of secrets

Ok ok so im still working on what to write at the top, dear dairy doesnt seem to be the thing, But at the same time its a classic

Well the boxing day was as mad as i predicted, Not a chance i was writing in you that day. I managed a whooping shift of 17 hours. Now thats impressive...

what is less impressive is about ten hours in a sprained my ankle or something, I tripped and fell wrong or something and it was sore. Today however it was worse. Far worse, They actualy sent me home. Me who has worked through illness. vomiting, and such they sent home. Yet i feel almost patheticaly gratefull. A blessing to a peer or the secret telling off of a child for not looking after yourself better.

Ill let you decide diary.

Im not sure what else to write about. the weather is fine, not to cold and the likes but the news is not good. Weather in england is still snowy. horrible and snowy.
The british goverment tried to ban all pornographic content from the web but the internet providers said it couldnt be done. HAH serves them right. Sickness and illness in far off parts of the world. and problems in the other. A shame really.

At the same timeim pretty sure i should keep up with the news more. But its always so depressing.

But fahh. my stuipid pen is running out of ink. So with that, i think i shall leave it for this fine day.

every book has a start, every journy a begining

Saturday 25th dec 2010.
18:22 hours

Dear diary,
Thasts how you start these things right. You mark off dear diary and tell the smallleather bound one hundred precent organic book your feelings right. Am i supposed to write in this like a book, like some lost friend reading my words. Well for this ive decided to start as i tend to carry on. TAalking and rambling on and on.

As you can tell i got a diary for christmas today. Its nice, thick leather with pages inside bound together, a jewl or stone on the front that looks partly like an eye staring at me. Neat huh.

What else was there. A yorkee bar from england, nice, real chocolate, ill save that for a special occasion i think. Not for girls it even says, woo.

Some good books, a lot of peter F hamlton, so hard core sci fi. Woooo

A new wireless headset. Its neat, same style with the vice morphiong of the last one but no now massive trailiong wire.

of all the cool things i got some of the best might be the zombie calander i got, and the zombie survival calander. Its one of those flat things with a stack of paper on it that you tear off the day for the next :D so ill keep you posted on the results of them. Heh im sure i would do just fine in the event of zombies. My friends all know that if i ever call them or soemthing i mean it about zombies. or maybe send them a desperet email. Heck ricky Askew is a friend. My oldest to be exact, and if that man ever phones me and says that its happening. Ill prepair.
FOOD
WATER
BLANKETS
CANDLES AND FLASHLIGHT
BATTERS
AMONIA [NOT SPELT RIGHT] FOR WATER PURIFACATION
ECT
the lsit of things ill head out and make sure i have. I know if i were truely ready i would have a bail out bag as so many people talk about on the net. Fantasising about what they would be like. how they would cope. sharing plans for the world they would survive in. Well diary its only you im going to tell. Once i make my pans and write them in here safely its all secret.

Aside form my soft musing on things and stuff its goin g to be a long day tomorrow. Ill be heading into work for about 5am, and finishing at about 10pm
REALLY long day huh, I should head to bed or at least rest up. Got to get ready.

Curse them

Well no past last week, it was amazingly busy at work and i had little strength left after many hour days.

So onto my usual. Step one
Survive dentists
COMPLETE

STEP two
Try out lego universe
complete
So lego universe. Tried it and its surprisingly rather fun. Very basic, but at the same time there is a lot of customization. You can build your own house, home, castle or evil lair. In fact anything you want. It can be open to the public or private. But its not part of the game. Its like its own stand alone thing so meh. The development blog had such high hopes. Being able to build spaceships, cars, trucks, ect. could have been amazing, But instead they have gone for a modular design with core pieces that you assemble. So its kinda a shame there. Gameplay is rather fun though i have to say.

Step three
Its almost Christmas
YAY, another Christmas with family. one could say its perfect except for the fact that still after a year i miss my friends over the pond ><

mega post

Well lets have a lookie see what to say.

watched mega mind. A funny film, i enjoyed it immensely, it was both funny and at the same time had a wonderful humor and theme that even as an adult was thoroughly enjoyable. Its a definite recommended film.

The legs, dam them and yay at the same time. They made such progress and now i hit a block, like a writers block but builders, and i wouldn't say builders block as im sure thats a copyrighted toy or something. Its just a pain, might upload photos of them or something, just Gahhh at the momenta bout them........

Games, still definitively recommending Enslaved, journey to the west. played it, enjoyed it. Thought the voice acting was good, the animation was nice, give it a try and just play it, dont analyze it.

hehe its not really a mega post, But im trying once agian to post more often, not sure why really. At worst i just ramble in them, at best i talk. Maybe i should start doing blogs in poem or lyricism style, who knows. Any how, ta ta for now, and byeeee england [ and parts of canada now'

gasp, a week

Alright lets take a lookie see. The art for the costume is coming along slowly. things such as they are, and artists being artists take there time so thats all well and good.

SKYLINE
just watched it... not sure how i feel about it. I liked it i think. Or at least,, i think i liked it. Watching it was nice, the small people simply trying to survuve was good. But to me it felt like it needed something more. Something else, maybe more time. Maybe a more diffiniteve ending. Who knows. All i know is it wasnt bad i think.

finaly picked up halo reach. But this means getting Xbox live. Promised ricky i wouldnt play it or the new gears of war without him And dammit a promise is a promise. So we shall see soon enough....

didnt have the ork game this week, it was rememberence day and i spent it working on the garage with my dad. pretty good time to be honest. We worked well together, the room is insulated and all tidy, just have to put up the drywall on it now. so yay proud

thats it for now. Might add to this, who knows.

night night england.

darn you blog

Alright alright, so i dont update as often as rob does. I just get side trakced by the SSDD stuff, meaning that most of the time its boring bloggy stuff.

so where to start, step one, as i often ramble about wanting to build things and make extravagant costumes that mostly tend to simply be wild dreams. I started last year by building the stilts. I was happy with them but the project took so long it ground itself into a halt. The legs were good,. but the six odd months it took to make them was to long.....

So there i am reading robs blog, hearing of wild larps in the 40k universe and darn it, i want.... so what do i do, i pull out the legs, stare at them and the fun times begin.... Thus the MKII digileg stilts are made no photos yet. But the process can be explained. WARNING it contains pain and exhaustion.

So i bought some PVC piping, had some fun cutting it up and then heating it to 270 degrees until it softened then spent a few hours holding BURNING plastic to my legs to get the shape i wanted out of it... all good :D had some help and a wet towel to cool off....

stage two,., making them... so there i am in the garage at about eight at night, cutting drilling and experimenting with a friend called christoph. the right leg takes us about seven hours to do as we measure, cut ponder and smack our heads into the floor. the left dam leg takes an hour and a half. and that includes cleaning up the place. Yes thats right, i finished it at about 4 am >< BLARG...... but still they look good, move much more fluidly than the first set, they dont have the massive bar at the end and the shoddy orange cable :D some more work to do next week and then wham. I build another set for my arms...... then the actual costume. I dont know what its going to look like... i might make a skitari or something for the 40k thing rob does and see if they want an NPC if it looks cool and tech priesty enough

So thats the thing im blogging about today, the urge to actually finish a project has come to my mind. heck if anyone has any suggestions. Im currently pondering a quadsuit idea with stilts everywhere. So any suggestions or even ideas, send them in by all means. Ive got people pondering over here :D

a knights night

morning

Well its the morning after.



My shoulders hurt a little still. im in a great mood and such, as last night i helpled gt ready for another feast. however this time ive got some armor to wear of course :D So YAY. firstly in answer to johns comment it was just generic tartan. but i still had lots of fun. Today there will be a castle and food and all sorts of stuff of course. After i get the next set of photos ill update again.

Had a lot of fun fighting last night. got to swing wild swords at people an such, And getting hit lots to ><. The only problem was i need to find a gorget that covers up m,y Adams apple, that i can wear with the pauldrons and still turn my head :p... still photos :D today im making a stew while i think about it. going to be good and contribute to the feast. But still on the 25th wish me luck, ill be attentding vinfest. fighting, relaxing, fighting, eating, and fighting :p

mid-evil

well i was stalling ill admit, waiting for photos of my last venture. I last went out for a medieval feast. It was tasty food, fun and archery. I didn't partake the archery myself. I was to busy being attacked by small children. >< DARN THEM. But none the less. i had fun. It was the highland games. So there were silly games. Caber tossing and the like. All sorts of stuff done with Giant cardboard tubes, long socks weighted with oats. Didn't win anything but i got a fair few second places. In a side note, I did win the competition for turning up in the most authentic costume. Had a roll of material and i managed to make a great kilt with the help of my family [ its a three person job]. Lets see, got the ratan for making weapons and such, Gonna make a halberd i think, Nice, stabbing and hacking thing. Thats christophers update for now, so its nice.

darn it

Well i was hoping to have photos of the feast i attended the other day. It was tasty, delicous and best yet, had swords and Scottish games. I won the prize for turning up in the most authentic Scottish attire. It was fantastic. I was given a massive length of cloth and told to wear it over the shoulder. BUT it was JUST enough to make a great kilt out of. Had to get the family to help me put it on. But it was worth it to win something like that for my first attendance. But pictures will be on the way.

What with me joining the whole SCA thing im recruiting people to try and establish a force. Im hoping for a twenty man squad that we can train up together and work as a team on the battlefield with. So wish me luck

In game news i just watched zero punctuation. Transformers war for cybertron. I warn people i personaly thought it was a simple, fun playable game. the multi player was good fun and the thing was nice to look at to :D so bahhh .

dam

Well for those that peak im back. Started writing as im getting off my backside and doing stuff once more. Pondering and playing with reinactment and such. Wich means i have to ponder the simple little things. Spent a great deal of time at a lovely woman who goes by the name of lady segal [not sure how to spell it] Anywho, its cool, a first post now, then lords i might even start up my weekly ones again :D Weeee,

Doh

Ok so its been a while, i know im bad at these occasionaly. But its been tough, trying to find something worth posting about. So far not to much. Ive started to collect warmachine... Its like warhammer but the comnbat is better. There are more options and such and you need far fewer men. SO yay on the budget. Ill have to post some images at some point. But for now, meh its all good.

mostly this bloggy post is a YAY im back again post, saying hi to people out there in britan :D so beyond that, Ahh well and hi hi.

well it was good this weekend. I went out to dawson to work on the stilts for a costume. I had alaskan king crab legs and steak. And the car broke down. YAY
So lets see, replayed stalker the other day, sighing happily in memory, the enemys that can see for miles and shot with such ease at extream range.


But fahh, STILTS, weeeee, they work, i can walk in them, just need to practive now. Get some buckles on them, and then i build the costume around everything : D
and i can even walk in this version without falling over to much :D now practice

weee healthy

well i was off work for a while, feeling pretty Ill. ended up spending quite a bit of time either playing computer games or laying on the floor in the bathroom to be near to loo or just cool down. ><.

but at the same time it gave me a little while, so ive played two new games... well one new one old.

firstly we ave portal. I know it has been out for a while. but i never got around to playing It. I can instantly see why rob liked it so much, the turrets are cute. the game is amazing. and killing the AI at the end giggle worthy. [ I liked the yellow orb best, it sits there and acts all cute before you burn it. Unlike the red one that wiggles and growls lots[ I was only disapointed by how very very short it was. >< DARN YOU VAVLE, when is the rest of half life coming out,,,,,

Second game on the list. Call of duty modern warfare 2
A surpisngly good game really. the singer player was actualy amazing. Several times i stared at the screen in dibelife. amazed as they burned me. And it doesnt follow a single amazin super hero that wins the war, but several people, major and minior was was a really nice change :D

thats about it right now. sitting back watching the 1988 and 1958 versons of THE BLOB :D

хороший день comrads

Хорошо этот прекрасный день im обеспечение Вам новости людей. Ив играл в игру, названную метро 2033. темный набор FPS в почтовые апокалиптические времена после большой войны. Да я знаю другой. Но этот установлен в России. Его фантастическое. Сама игра - очень подробно и говорит его собственную счастливую небольшую историю. есть мутанты конечно, и темные. Страшные фигуры, которые скрываются в тенях. Показ разнообразия оружия, чтобы очаровать даже большинство оружия, счастливого из людей. игра не использует никакого реального министерства жилищного строительства и городского развития главным образом. Повреждение обозначено или кровавой аурой вокруг вашего видения ИЛИ взламыванием вашего противогаза. Поверхность конечно является настолько ядовитой, что Вы должны носить это часто. И наблюдают ваши наручные часы, как долго фильтры длятся, Чтобы Вы не задыхаетесь. В целом я сказал бы, Дают метро 2033 попытка, на всех главных форматах.























HEH joking
Well this fine day im bringing you people news. Ive played a game called metro 2033. its a dark FPS set in a post apocalyptic times after a great war. Yes i know another one. But this one is set in Russia. Its fantastic. The game itself is very in depth and tells its own happy little story. there are mutants of course, and The dark ones. Scary figures that lurk in the shadows. Featuring a variety of guns to enamor even the most gun happy of people. the game uses no real HUD for the most part. Damage is indicated by either a bloody aura around your vision OR a cracking of your gas mask. The surface of course is so poisonous that you have to wear it often. And watch your wrist watch for how long the filters last Lest you suffocate. All in all i would say Give metro 2033 a try, its on all major formats.

Once more i prove i live

well its been a bit since i wiffled in here. But fahh. Ive been really really busy. I havent been playing computer games, nor modling. Heck everything took a break while i prepared the store i work at for a total chaos nerf war.
Now nerf guns for those that dont know are the foam dart shooting to guns. Sounds silly, but thirty people showed up and it was great. I mean really great.
Ill have some photos of the event it self soon enough, sadly missed some great photo shots. But ahh wel. Now i can return to pestering you people, and postying my mindless trivia in the bloggy thing of doom [wee doom blog[.

we played capture the flag of course, a game called jail break, A defensive one. Sadly didnt have time for the zombie game :p


Aside from the nerf ting i honestly havent done much else, its been my driving goal for the lasst couple of weeks but i can finaly move on now. So to end, some phoots of my guns, Terribly moddd of course :p

whoops

So yes its been a while, but then life has just kinda ticked by. Had an interesting time last tuesday. Went out at five AM to edmonton, its a five hour drive away so we get there at about lunch, play in the water park, go do laser tag, have some drinks ect. GREAT DAY. And then we go to the cinime, Were off to see Avatar in I-Max 3d, the worlds most powerfull projector, with the best sound system anywhere, Its so amazing they have a LAZER show at the start and tell you all sorts of neat things about it O.o it was amazing[ but sadly the showing we wanted to see ran out of 3d glasses SOOOOO we waisted three hours until the next showing, wich was at ten ><. watched avatar, and of course with that clear a screen, it was mind blowing. got out at about one thirty, and then chris drove for five hours, trying desperetly to stay away and not kill everyone.... we made it back some how O.o. so all good

finaly notes though as its late
1 Rob, draw the piggy,,,,, Piggy dam you
2 nerf wars so soon, so stoked, broke my first nerf gun overpowering it. whoops
3PIGGY
4 msn people, come on, i can say hi now
5 did i mention the pig ?

GAHHH

So lets see, step one no pig still wich is a shame. The lack of a cybernetic pork based warrior has driven me to such madness. Ive started rock climbing, me the poor canadian that cant stand going to the top of a ladder. And yes, with sheer piggy based determination i made it to the very top of the thing a couple of times. Admittedly i was swearing a lot, screaming as i plumteted saftly to the cround and cursing grafity for always winning, but still. Off to see shutter island soon so cant wait for that.

Aside from that im organising a nerf war for work, should be cool. All the large shop isles and desks, lots of nerf guns. some people love it, some people are taking it a little far, planning on quad linking the nerf gunds and such :D

thats it for this fine day, peace out my loyal listeners :p

whoops [ updated with picture :D

how time flys. One minute im playing computer games, the next i notice that its been two weeks before i post on here. Not that much happens in every day life.

Though ive recently tried star trek. And im honestly suprised to say its fun. You start off hating the controls wondering whats going on after a very lacking tutorial. Flug out into the furthest reaches of space, replying on the local chat for guidence. Wich is terribly flooded with money sellers already ><. Only to blink a day later realising you havent move, eated or peed in something thats not a bottle for the day.
The game pulls you in until your sat there screaming at your ship to turn faster as you try and balance your sheilds out, sending power to them whilst desperetly mashing the attack buttons at teh same time. And its good solid whack a mole fun really :D

Sadly it sounds like its going to be micro funded. So you will have to buy char slots from the vendor and such >< but ahhh well.

as a last note sadly it seems there is no cyber pig yet

update

Stilts are so close to finishing. EAT HOT PIC and die

zombiechris

Well another week spent in the world of canada. Im doing rather well over here at the moment. Earning a good wage, playing 40k lots, so seems life is ok. Though im still holding out hopes of seeing that pig int he actual comic rob... Wonder if i could start a petition :D

Gonna take my flying lessons once the weather clears up, as it snowed again. A mere four to six inches i think so its good.

Still no pics of the demon prince. I want to get him just right before showing you people.

And sorry you missed my B day again rickman, Next year.

not much this week.... been doing lots of late shifts and stuff so sleepy :D catcha all though



oe-l numi na' vi-ti fpi frapo

spell check dont fail me now

Weeee its my birthday. :D

Its been a good day, an ok day and a thoughtfull day.

It was wonderfull to hear from people. makes me realise that i should reach out and say hi to people more often.

No pictures of the demon prince im working on just yet as im painting it.

EDIT
still painting the prince,... but who cares, there is a 40k pig,... It never made it into the comic sadly, but ahh well D:

Oink

ho hum

So lets see, what to say what to say...

Watched book of eli. A rather good film. Had a rather religious theme, BUT it was still dan good without throwing christianity into your face and down your throat. It had some shameless plugs where the lead char would put in some headphones and start walking. Only moments later to turn so that you could perfectly see the symbol on the headphone :p ......

avatar will be in cinemas until march over here o.o WOW .... good huh. The avatar computer game is actualy rather good. and i mean that, in a scary way O.o its actualy fun [gasps] Its not the most lovingly created game, nor the prettest but still its adictive :p

finaly got a demon prince of nurgle model [ hard to get over here without a GW[ im staring at it for insperation wondering how to convert it... #

My poor laptop broke >< Cat lept onto it and it went tumbling down,... screen is busted. but it still works. so ill hook it up to a moniter for now till i replace it ..

that would apper to be it for toady guys :D hope ali gets well soon. and word out there to mister rob and his fantastic web site

[fahh to spell check :p ]#

back at last WITH UPDATE

Well its been the season. Which of course means ive been worked like a dieing monkey so they can get one more show in. This is actually the first time ive been at my computer in a while [Yes im not sure who i really am anymore ]

Christmas was wonderful. I got a wonderful assortment of gifts including as ive said, Flying lessons. So soon ill be flying high, aiming down my sights and releasing those bombs on someone, Not sure who yet but still thats not the point.

Ive had a wonderful time playing with plasticard. staring at chaos raptors and deciding i don't like them im making my own, and its turning out great. Photos will follow, just the cameras taking a vacation from Christmas.
In other news we had freezing fog the other day,,, nothing as scary as driving into fog and watching ice form on everything visibly, windows, roads, any surface just freezing :D Good ol Canada.

For now a happy new year to everyone ,,,, i ve been so overwhelmed i quite forgot all the eat stuff i was supposed to tell people, so until next time

Weeeeeee
