Chaos, Panic Disorder . . .

Well, I said I'd update soon but I decided to wait considering I knew there was a good chance I was going back to the Fair and would have more pics. Trust me. I have pics. Lots of them. And even one video . . .

First up the general stuffage. Right now I feel crappy but that's to be expected. I hate the fact I have at least 7 months until I can take a vacation again >.< I'll really be stir crazy by then. I didn't get all I wanted to do on my vacation but I did get a lot of needed stuff done, which is good. I decided not to rush my Forte costume for the camp out this weekend and I'll get it ready for a future event. Even though the Captain, who just showed up, said I should stop playing DS games and finish the costume before then. So, motivation to do it or just forget about it? We'll have to see because it needs to be completed by Friday, and that includes all construction, gluing as well as plastic and paint and I don't foresee me doing that within the next three days . . .

For those on my list who are with Tanjou. Good news is, I found my install disk for my scanner so I can put it on this comp . . . bad news is all the scans I've done are still on Axl which means taking the time to get him hooked back up again and try to find the folder without the aid of a backlight. Not going to be easy. I want to make one go at trying to get the rest of the stuff off of him. Right now it doesn't look like I'll get to that until at least weekend after next (considering next weekend is the campout and all this week I work late.) But, have no fear, I will get to scanning again. Hopefully sooner than later.

We've had a few storms go through, one bad enough I saw the lightning reflect off of mum as she went to go close a curtain (I was taking pics of the dark sky until loud thunder drove me inside >.<) and heard the crack out back right after it. She said she never saw the lighting but tasted weak sulfur on one side of her mouth. Definitely a very close call . . . And she was inside to boot >.<

Now for some random pics.

There was a miller on the wall so I stretched to get a pic of him/her. I liked the wing pattern. We also had a beautiful rainbow after one of the storms. I loved how it ended over the house. Hopefully it's a good sign that things will be on the upturn financially for us. We also had a frog join us and hang on the window for one night. He stayed quite a while. Sis even got a pic of the frog with a huge moth nearby. I also uploaded four more shots of my helmet construction for Forte.exe. Not much, just showing where I daringly used my glue gun to fix places I had messed up with stitching the sections at too sharp or too wrong an angle to make it uniform.

Fair was good. Friday was a literal washout considering it rained, sometimes heavy. There were some suspected rumbles of thunder that were confirmed by friends where they had the storm bad enough that it started their phones ringing for no reason >.< Sunday was better though it started to rain a bit toward the end, luckily after the last performance by the extreme world tour sponsored by freestylemx.com. We also saw the tiger exhibit (though it was touted as the Tigers of India exhibit the music they played before the performance was modern African . . . oh well, at least it sounded good.)

Fair pictures ho!

This is my pitiful attempt at splicing a vid together. Thanks to an innovative thought plus VirtualDubMod, I managed to take a bit better footage with my camera and record a voice message on my MP3 player and splice the two together to get audio to the video. However . . . my audio quality sucks. Period. Hopefully I can get a real camcorder in the near future and not have to worry about video/audio quality. I hope.

If you want better video footage, to go Digi's YouTube vids of the fair. Much better audio >nods nods<

In a nutshell things are rather depressive around here right now. Sis is leaving, coming back to only visit. She's packing her car now with what she can carry so she can leave tomorrow. Not that I begrudge her going back to help her family, but it's not easy on us here to see her leave knowing there is a 99% chance she is never coming back . . .
