Sorry it took so long to even say anything but I am alive and in Seattle! I've been working and exploring the city. My computer still isn't online all the way as the heatsink/fan decided to break off during shipping and get jostled and dented. I insured the stuff so I need to have UPS take a look at it. Fun times. I am very much still on AIM though.

Posted this on my facebook but I'm being complete I guess. Leaving Tucson for Phoenix Sky Harbor and then to Seattle! Bringing my cat, Xap, along with. Poor cat. It'll be an advencha!

Today is my last day in the Phoenix area (Mesa specifically). I'm not counting the time that I'm gonna be here for the airport. It was also my last day of work at my Walgreens. I love the people I work with... they are awesome. One of the few jobs that I've had (and I've had a lot... *ahem*) that I've enjoyed it and liked coming to work. I'm transferring to another Walgreens in Seattle. I'm gonna be taking pictures and stuff, I am pretty excited and nervous at the same time. Aaah!

Anyone in Tucson want a 21/23" (I measured it but I probably did it wrong) TV , Naruto cards, or Magic cards? Let me know...

Turkey in a Yurt is coming up. It'll be awesome. FEAST.

This is my submission to the pumpkin contest help by Blizzard this year!

Warning, HUGE picture!

So I am working on a project. It is gonna kill me but it is cheap. I'll post pics. Let's just say I had to buy a ton of pumpkins.

In Tucson this weekend. Going to Nightfall as well. Anyone wanna do anything?

Might be the last time I get to be in Tucson for an extended time period before I move to Seattle.

I don't do memes very often or really ever but my desktop... I couldn't resist.

The Rules:
☞ Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper.
☞ Explain in no more than five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
☞ Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!

Two words. Man. Beasts.

I know I play a belf as my main, but no one was showing any Troll love. It needed to happen.

It's that time again... BlizzCon. Well, tickets are going on sale. I really wanna go but I don't wanna go if no one I know is going or has a room. So here's my question: Anyone going? Let me know!

I meant to post this earlier but I was lazy. I'm in Tucson for four days and I wanna hang out and see people... not just sit around. So anyone wanna do anything? I'm free on Thursday and Saturday! Text me or call me if you wanna do stuff! Also, 4th Avenue Street Fair is going on!

I know I don't post a lot.. but had to with this one. I know a few of my friends here are on the wow_ladies community so they know what I'm talking about here. But wow, the people in that community get worked up over the dumbest little things. Earlier today there was a 302 comment post about a girl who was complaining that people in her guild said "that's gay" and she wanted to make it a more pleasant experience. I really wanna just yell "that's gay!" to everyone now. I'm really never offended by stuff but these people are offended if you even breathe wrong!

Been bored with WoW lately... well, I think it's more my server and guild. After the expansion, some of em decided to spec into their healing specs instead of what they normally were - tanks and dps. So I decided to go tank for a day... I loved it. But I missed healing the most and went back. Getting a guild run when I am on is a pain. I work late so when I come on, everyone has done everything already or no one is on to do something... even puging isn't an option when they don't want a healer. Okay... now that I've gotten that out... I'm gonna be playing less on Perenolde, just to take a break really. See how that works out.

Other than that, got a new video card and 2 GB more of RAM. Already running nicer.

That's my twitter. Mostly because I update and text a lot on my phone... and I have unlimited texting on my phone. Probably a lot of dumb things are gonna be put up there, but should be fun.

Today is my birthday but still trying to figure out something to do. Work later tonight but off on the 5th.

Also, Happy Birthday Sam!

In Tucson for the weekend, I have no money so it has to be free. I just wanna hang out with people really.

Sadly, nothing new yet. No time to. Just a quick status update thingie.

Cloak and tabard still need to be made but waiting until Mom and Brother wake up and go to work to do that so I don't bother anyone trying to sleep with the sewing machine. Still need to armor up the shirt and pants but I've made templates for both. I just need to paint them. Decided not to go with additional arm armor because it cut the already low movement I had in half. Oh well, that's why I got this gray shirt just in case. Finished the shield too. I am quite pleased with how it turned out.

Lots need painting still. Spray paint here and if anything runs over... later today in Mesa. Need lots of detail painting. We'll see how that works out today. Need to pack too. I feel like I'm missing something important. Hmmm...

Last few days have been "meh" to me. So much to do.

Good Things:

1. Finished Gavel of Naaru Blessings. Just need to paint it now.
2. Made my libram. Just need to get/make straps so I can carry it on a belt.
3. Finished boot covers, test walked... they are great. Much improved from the prototype of the first. Now to paint.
4. Found out I had a ton of black fabric so I can take the stuff I bought back to WalMart.

Bad Things:

1. Still need to make tabard, cloak, shoulders (oh god... dreading these) and armor up the pants and shirt I bought.
2. Painting. Ugh. So much and I still need to get green and black. And get a clear coat for the armor.
3. Shield. Oh noes... I wish I had something simple... no, had to get the Light-Bearer's.
4. The bottle of spirit gum I bought? It will not open. I tried almost everything (using a clamp/wrench is next) and nothing. Might have to cut it open to get to it.

I think that's it. Not gonna do an lj-cut for pics but gonna link ya. This is the BlizzCon Photos site that a few of us are using to do progress stuff and then later on after the con, other pictures, not just cosplay will be added.

http://www.blizzconphotos.com/index.php?cat=10022 is my gallery for Xerak.

EDIT 1: One shoulder done. Ugh.. That was a lot of work. Just need to add details to the second and then edge them. Working on a belt in the meantime so I'm not burnt out on the shoulders.

EDIT 2: Belt done! Woot! Now to get back to the shoulders.

EDIT 3: Shoulders done. Shield next. Might sleep. I'm not sure if it would help or hinder me at this point.

Yes, still awake. I slacked a little but finally got off my ass and worked on the shoe portion. I'm kinda working off what might be good. I made a prototype with cardboard and duct tape over my awesome shark shoes. it was a somewhat success. I am able to walk comfortably with the giant leg armor and the shoe prototype. I was even able to get all three on without help.

Things to improve on:

1. The back drags when I step down. This is probably because it's only sitting on the shoes.
2. Tighten opening. It was way too huge for the leg piece and my legs in general.
3. Get it to insert into the leg piece that way they kinda meld together.

Prototype and progress pics under the cut.

Working on my leg plates... well, upper portions of Xerak's boots today and yesterday. They are a pain. So much more work than the arms. Almost done though. Just edging with hot glue and they'll be ready for painting. Then I'll be working on the feet. I'll post pics of the legs when done later tonight!

EDIT: While finishing the edging, I got my ears in the mail! Woot! Also, pics!

They still need painting but that will be in the next 1-2 days.
