Week 53 (+18) Grrrr I've been lax on posting each week

53

-The racing number of Herbie, a Volkswagen Beetle with a mind of his own, first appearing in the 1969 film The Love Bug.


Been a busy week all-in-all but, even at the same time it has been very lazy.

So for me and the boys the long waited third expac came out for WoW/World of Warcraft: Cataclysm at midnight on the 6th. We grabbed up a CE (collectors edition) at Best Buy for Paul and then I had to run John up to work before coming back down and picking up mine and John's CEs at Gamestop. So we have been spend a lot of our down time enjoying the new things and levels in WoW.

Also got new Netflixs so we got to watch the new season of Doctor Who episode one and two. All I can say is AWESOME! I think the last Doctor (number 10) was a much sexier nerd then the new Doctor (number 11) but both are funny as hell. The new Doctor had my busting up laughing through both episodes. Also saw Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice. It had a great idea and plot pushing it and I was sad that it was not based on a book. Would have been a great book for YA. Much better then the Percy Jackson movie, though the PJ books have some fun ideas that they play with.

Speaking of books, movies and ideas I've been trying to puzzle the best way to keep a 'idea journal/notebook' for writing. I think I'm going to just have to have a unorganized notebook full of all the ideas I like.

Like all the ideas I got while watching the National Geographic "Is It Real" episode on King Arthur. They put forth three ideas about who he/the myth might have been based off of. I liked the one about him being a home grown man based off of 'The Bear' Owain Danwyn (Owen White-Teeth). Much better and prideful idea then the 'High King' or as interesting as the idea is a Roman solder that stayed behind with 'his adopted people'. In fact the idea that he was a Roman is the idea behind a Hollywood movies that came out in 2004 "King Arthur". It is a great film but I dislike the idea that the man the myth is based on was something other then from Briton (as it was called way back when).

Which kinda brings me back to the idea notebook. I have as of late many tabs popped up on my Firefox browser and then for some asinine reason it keeps crashing. I just had to go back through my browser history for the pages I had popped up on 'The Bear'.

Also had to deal with a big fuck up with my school tuition that has made me uber pissed. I worked it out more or less but it is still let me anything but happy.

I came across this quote while reading a fan site tonight and it is the kind of thing I would say to John.

""...but this is a fantasy world where fantastic things happen. And sure, there are rules, which is why you can turn into a cat but not a turtle, but they're not your real-world rules." -Saeadame

This is similar to my answer to people that can't suspend disbelief and enjoy fiction whether it is fantasy or sic-fi.

Anyway this is all for tonight post.

GEEKing = F-U-N!

+ = <3

Okay I admit it! I never grew up... Yeppers I'm a kid at heart and love it that way.

Toys rox, games rox, mods (modifications) to toys rox, ripping things apart, painting things, and just being a general goof and kid ROX HARD CORE!

That bit about "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." (First Corinthians 13:11) was not meant for adults and toys.

>.>

<.<

No lightening ^_^ okay we are good lol.



So anyway I have been fascinated by the ingenuity of the people that make Steampunk mods (if you don't know what the Hell I'm talking about google or wiki it!) and just their creativity they put into their gear and drawings! As a person that wants to or would love to work in the conceptional part of the gaming/movie etc business it really peaks my creativity.

Anyway as I was googling Steampunk stuff I came across a whole other sub genre to this area. It is people that mod Nerf guns for either Steampunk or other cons (conventions) and get togethers or just for the fun of it.

One person that does this coined a neat term for it "Nerfsmiths" ^_^

Anyway I thought that I would share some of the Nerf mods that I found on DA just so you can get a look at them.


My fav Nerf gun to mod the "Maveric"




Second fav the "Longshot"



And a few other cool Nerf gun mods...


Yeah I know it is odd and so am I for digging it but hey it is no odder then people paintballing or Airsoft guns.

Speaking of war games with paint and plastic pellets, there are people that have war games with Nerf guns! They call it "Nerf Wars" lol. Well that is a dull name but it gets the point across does it not.

Sounds kinda fun if you ask me!

Okay you can all lower those cocked eyebrows and go back to your normal lives now ^_^
