Costumes

2009-08-10T17:25:11Z

So after almost a 2 year Hiatus I've finally gotten off my ass and started costuming again. Part of my hiatus was due to a malaise I felt after I lost my costumes in the fire. Another part was jsut not having enough time. Then there's 40k, and thats expensive as hell. So I'm working on the Hero from DQ8. I've got the boots on the way, the shirt needs to be put together and and now trying to find something that would work well for the coat. I'm going to head out after work to look for something. Course the heat is going to suck

Stolen from little_finch Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence and these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST book.

"If Mental Retardation, a speech-motor or sensory deficit, or environmental deprivation is present, the language difficulties are in excess of those usually associated with these problems."

Naturalization

2009-07-13T17:02:15Z

Well, do to a stipulation in the rules, I won't be eligible for citizenship for another 4 years. This is due to the fact I was in Japan for over 6months. So the only way to expidite the process is to either get hitched to somebody or to join the armed forces and wait 1 year after the completion of boot. Sometimes I really hate the bureaucratic process. And in retrospect after a year of being back from Japan, aside from being a line on a resume, joining JET was a mistake. What experience I gained professionally does not make up for all the difficulties that came associated with it.

What DnD Class am I?

2009-07-08T16:40:40Z

Chaotic Neutral Human Sorcerer (4th Level)

Ability Scores:
Strength- 12
Dexterity- 15
Constitution- 16
Intelligence- 15
Wisdom- 16
Charisma- 17
Alignment:
Chaotic Neutral- A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. Chaotic neutral is the best alignment you can be because it represents true freedom from both society's restrictions and a do-gooder's zeal. However, chaotic neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it seeks to eliminate all authority, harmony, and order in society.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Sorcerers- Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

Happy Canada Day!

2009-07-01T13:33:07Z

Ô Canada!
Terre de nos aïeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits

Student Teaching.

2009-06-16T14:23:05Z

Well, I just got my Student Teaching confirmed. I'm going to be doing 2 classes: US History 1, and World History. Which means I need to study US History again. Sadly it's a part I'm not too familiar with. Lena sent me over some more books from her work which is of a GREAT help to me. The school is only 20min away from home. The day is from 7:35 to 1:30. Which is mercifully short. I'm looking forward to it.

Looks like I"m not going this year afterall. Something about not being allowed backstage and helping Adam as a panelist. Sorry guys. Best of luck Mo and Adam.

Grades

2009-05-19T14:21:03Z

Well its that time of eyar again, and I'm somewhat apprehensive about my grades. This was a shit semester, with shit professors. With of course the exception of Dr. Weltman and my Social Studies Methods class. I thoroughly enjoyed that. I really hope I didn't fail anything.

On the brighter side, Star Trek in imax is awesome!

Campaign

2009-04-14T19:07:38Z

So I've been working on fleshing out my next campaign. Was originally leaning towards doing a Planescape: Faction Wars scenario. But have since opted to change that drastically, due to the nature of my recent music kick. Namely; Disney Villains.

So It's now a Kingdom Hearts style campaign, using the 4e mechanics. Yes, keyblades do exist. Working on the plot now, cause the villains are easy. Some will have class levels, others will just be monsters. Which is neat. So beyond my immediate play group, I'm opening it up to anyone interested in joining. We run weekly, on Sat's for a few hours in the afternoon. And we'll be starting in May.

Hippitis hoppitis Hunnam sequor hippitis hoppitis,

Addo sulum puella quod puer
Alveus plenus of Orientales tripudium ,
Res facio vestri Orientales perspicuus quod hilaris.

Judo

2009-03-31T14:05:18Z

Judo again tonight. I've been researching on what I need for my next belt. Were I to not go to a tournament, it would take me 40weeks to rank up. Course if I went to a tournament and won, that would greatly increase my chances. On the plus side, I'm back down to 162, which means I'm in a lower weight division and at the top of it. Which is a nice for me.

The Last Samurai

2009-03-24T02:31:56Z

Watching this movie now, with the knowledge that I have, makes me cringe. There are parts which are made of nothing but win. But SOOOOOO much crap is in it that I can't help but say WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!??!?!?!?! I understand its a holywood film. And they weren't trying to replicate history. But couldn't they have at least gotten period armor, or guns, or even the fucking clothing right?! Even teh subtitles were gawd awful ><

I'm going back to watching my cat sleep and snore.

St. Padraig's Day

2009-03-17T13:25:48Z

So not including Toronto, I've spent St. Paddy's day in Ireland, San Antonio, Tokyo and Okayama. But Never NYC, one of these days, I'll have to head in to the city for St. Paddy's day. Stupid responsibilities.

You will be missed

2009-03-12T18:30:08Z

So my 92 ford tempo has died. I've lost compression in the engine and its no longer feasible to fix. Like the Shagon-Wagon (copywrite little_finch ) before, she will be sorely missed. She has served me well these past 4 years, with many a trip up to Canada, to Gui's having to enter ala Dukes of Hazard memories are fond. Now burn in hell you money pit of a Detroit beast. <3

Little test of something

Butcher Pete

2009-02-19T18:29:48Z

by Roy Brown.

(Part I)

Hey everybody, did the news get around
About a guy named Butcher Pete
Oh, Pete just flew into this town
And he's choppin' up all the women's meat

[Chorus]
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
He just hacks, wacks, choppin' that meat

Butcher Pete's got a long sharp knife
He starts choppin' and don't know when to stop
All you fellows gotta watch your wifes
'Cause Pete don't care who's meat he chops

Ever since Peter flew into town
He's been havin' a ball
Just cuttin' and choppin' for miles around
Single women, married women, old maids and all

Wakes up in the morning, half past five
Chops from sunrise to sunset
I don't see how he stays alive
Meat's gonna be the death of ole Pete, yeah

The police put Pete in jail
Yes, he finally met his faith
But when they came to pay his bail
They found him choppin' up his cell mate

That Butcher Pete is a crazy man
Tries to chop down the wind and the rain
Just hacks on anything he can get
Say, turn this record over, you ain't heard nothing yet

(Part II)

Well, they let ole Pete out of the jail
He went back to his store
All the women who payed his bail
Were waitin' on Pete to chop some more

There's an old woman, who's ninety-two
Lives down the street
She said, one thing more I wanna do
Is find ole Pete and let him chop my meat

Pete went to church one Sunday night
He gave the preacher a fit
That crazy Pete started a fight
When he went hackin' on the pulpit

Well, they put him in jail again
They tried to give him life
Pete beat the case, he pleaded insane
They gave him back his same ole knife

Well, he got out of jail on Sunday night
Monday he tightened his grip
He started to China to see the sites
Went nuts again and chopped up the ship

Brought ole Pete back to town
To electrocute him there
But Pete was crazy like a clown
He chopped down that electric chair

He's a maniac!
He don't do nothin' but hackin'

YEY! I can finally build my dream team for the pokemans.

Also, my Psyc class doesn't require me to be there, just take the tests. Bad move on the part of the teacher. It really disturbs me her practice.

pirvan_nightide @ 2009-02-17T14:08:00

2009-02-17T18:57:49Z

I really dislike my Dev Psych class. My time in the class is better spent playing Pokemon. Because it doesn't matter how well I understand a concept, unless I can regurgitate the term, or its meaning on a multiple choice test, I'm SOL for a decent grade. Being required for 700 pages of a Psych text for a 200 level course is absurd. I'm really not a happy camper in regards to that class. plus the Elite 4 in Pokemon Pearl a kicking my ass.

My other classes are going swell. I'm trying to finish up a lesson plan for Friday. Cause my co-operating practicum teacher wants me to teach. Sweet... I guess.

I need...

2009-01-26T14:31:21Z

A vacation. Preferably to a place that is warm, has a beach and offers me daquiri's. Whose with me!

Oscar's

2009-01-24T15:08:36Z

So the nominee's are out. And after seeing the competition for Best Supporting Male Actor, I honestly hope Heath Ledger doesn't get it. Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder was much better.

Daily Show

2009-01-23T04:12:36Z

I just watched Jon Stewart spend 5min talking to an Elmo-esque puppet called 'gitmo'. When he added in the Burtesque puppet, he had finally lost it. Man do I love this show

Pride

2009-01-20T17:03:27Z

Well, the innaugration has started. Bush is out. Obama is in. The ridiculous amounts of pomp and circumstance followed by the egregious amounts of innaugural balls. But part of it fills me with pride, the same kind of pride that I was instilled with after watching the Abraham Lincoln speech in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

I'll let that stew around in your mouths for a bit.
