Heya gang! I have switched servers, and have doubled my bandwidth, as I have been hosed two months in a row! I'm glad the site (and mostly Roboterkampf) are that popular... but I was a little frustrated when I found my connection speeds had been decreased. Everything should load a LOT faster now.

The eMac at work died. I gutted it to salvage the harddrive (work related content) and plan to turn the shell into an aquarium. Or whatever. The innards gave me a great many number of interesting heat sinks that will come in handy for a custom raygun project I'm starting.

It took about .005 seconds to realize that we'd force Jenn to wear the shell.

The last week was spent rigging another Studio Scale X-Wing with lights. This pic was taken last week - I'm weathering the beast with powdered pigments tonight. Almost done!

Every time I make one of these, I improve my method of light placement, etc. Another running modification!

Ready to go!

Even the teeny Artoo gets gutted and strung with fiber optics.

See how the ports light up? I have red/blue fading leds, and green/yellow ones ready.

Also a good week for building Gaffi Sticks. Got my steel mace end from a friend that welds. Sharp! Deadly! Accurate! Will patina nicely.

Song on the iPod? "Frankly Mr. Shankly" by the Smiths!

OOOhhh I think I'm getting a cold.. and I'm off to see OKGO tonight, lol. Perfect timing. I spent last night plugging away at the models I'm making for people, trying to get ahead because I'll have to go to Pittsburgh and Richmond in March, ugh.

The Gaffi is built, and at the moment has a deep walnut stain drying... This pic was taken pre-stain.

Simon and Sheba - in LOVE! Hehehe.

I'm getting a haircut on Thursday, thank god. I love my Freddy Krueger sweater!

And I leave you with a pic from the Lego Character Generator.

Saturday night I saw OKGO at the Black Cat in DC. Dave had his first parallel park in his new car! Hooray for Dave!

Inside, Frank dropped a brand new full glass of beer. A woman in a wheelchair went through the gigantor puddle three times in the span of, like, two minutes. Unreal.

OKGO were great fun. They played a full set of great pop rock, and treated everyone to their C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips dance for the Encore. My 'lil Pentax can take cruddy (but suprisingly nice sounding) movies. Wanna see part of the dance they did?

Sunday I went to Frederick MD with Lisa, Jane, and Tom! Lisa had made a shirt the night before - FUN! Sleeves!! Little Asian women!

We went to Wonder Book and Video. Where's Lisa?!

I get a haircut on Thursday, thank god. Damn dirty hippie.

At Starbucks we saw an adorable little girl who was wearing her Halloween costume. Heeeeeee!!

Lambtron has a Latté!

Tom!

Jane!

Lisa again! Looking hella adorable.

Tom and Jane!!

Today i went to Charlottesville Virginia with John Q from starbucks... we drove three hours only to get handed a VHS tape with the phrase "just use this".. easiest shoot I ever went on, eh? Sigh. So we turned back around and came home. We left at 8:30 and came back in to Annapolis at about 5 on the dot. I much prefer doing work at my desk to driving all day. Shudder.

Song on iTunes "Deep Sea Diving Suit" by The Lucksmiths.

I broke down and rode my scooter. Cold, but soooo fucking fun.

Hey gang! I've been über busy updating Robterkampf.
So go visit! Click the link up top!
And now, playing catch up here:

Lisa, are you going to order Lamb?!

"Tee hee"

Frank proposed to Jenn Friday night. He arranged fucking FIREWORKS.
60 feet in the air fired-from-a-mortar FIREFUCKINGWORKS.
He is a god among men.

And yes the ring is GINORMOUS AND STUNNING!!!!

Not to be outdone (wink!), Lisa and I spent a lovely Valentines Day
painting pottery! Here's what I painted... mebbe it's a scary food bowl
for Simon? I can't wait to see it fired!

The bottom :)

The sky was gorgeous that night too... especailly contrasting against the
Blockbuster awning. I hate that place. Netflix all the way.

Lis and I ate gum by dividing it mathematically and chromatically.

Jane painted delightfully worried kitties.

Me!

The sky kept looking insanely pretty.

Tom painted the King of All Eyes.

The next day Lisa and I ate at the Double T Diner.

GASP! And now you know everything I do. Congratulations.
