Press Gangership

I applied earlier this week to become a Press Ganger (game rep) for Warmachine/Hordes. With any luck, I should hear back soon. I'll be supporting my FLGS (Friendly Local Game Store), GameTheory, primarily as well as some of the others in the area at tourneys and such.

Warmachine Crazyness!

I will post pictures asap, but...

I have finished a pile of Warmachine models, kinda. I have Mortenebra and Deryliss finished, and I am starting to seal and finish the models that I have all painted up after I go back and touch them up. I'll be posting photos of Morty and Dery once I get them sealed, and the rest once I touch them up an seal them.

Also, I'll be starting on the Strip/Adjust List soon:

• Deneghra
• 1 Unit of Bane Knights
• 1 Slayer
• 2 Deathripper
• 1 Defiler
• Edited to add: eSkarre's face
• Edited to add: highlighting on Skarre
  

...I think there may be more...

Minis, Minis, Minis...

I've been on a minis binge. NOT a mini-binge, but a minis binge. I've been painting and priming and assembling and...so much to do...take a peek at this to see what I've been up to. Keep in mind, they average about 2-3 inches tall:

Early New Year Preparations

So I'm preparing for my 2010 calendar already...picking out my binder, insert options, and, most importantly, adding in important dates and contact information to my address section.

Also, I'm working on planning for my potentially having an academic overload from the second week of December until I graduate...which could potentially push my graduation to February 2010 instead of May 2010. Sure, it would cost a little more for those months but I think it'll be worth it...then Greg can relax, get a part time job, and go to school full time online.

Officially Pissy with Keyboard & Mouse

So, my Logitech Cordless Desktop LX710's mouse shat the bed. It thinks the x-axis is the y-axis and the y-axis is the scroll wheel and the scroll wheel does nothing. No big deal. I just need a new wireless setup....or a wireless mouse. They're cheap enough. Right?

Yeah. They're cheap enough, but here's the catch: I use a KVM switch. Which means I need a scroll lock key in order to switch PCs. Don't know what a KVM switch does? Here's the rundown: I have 2 computers that share 1 monitor, 1 keyboard, and 1 mouse, and the KVM switch switches me between computers. In order to switch, I press the scroll lock key 2x. OK, it shouldn't be hard to find a scroll lock key, right?

WRONG! It turns out that on the only 2 keyboards I could choose from at Wal-Mart did not have scroll lock keys. Too bad I bought one, took it out of the package and continue to use it. I found that Logitech has actually discontinued the scroll lock key on 5 of its keyboards. Including the one I picked up at Wal-Mart.

So, I'm using the keyboard from my LX710 setup (which has KVM functionality) and the mouse from the LX310 setup. It's essentially the same mouse with different colors.

Now, since I'm using the LX310's wireless receiver, my keyboard is not showing up as the LX710 which has more functionality than the 310.

I'm ready to throw it all out the office window and shout from my 3rd story apartment how frustrating this is.

And let the crafting begin!

Been doing a lot of crafting lately. In the last 2 weeks, I have made:

• A set of 5 sea critter stitch markers
• A model of my WoW main toon
• A handful of cute little charm earrings.

I have started:

• Looking for the yarn and such for a Dr. Who Scarf
• A really pretty blue shawl (it may unfortunately be smaller than planned, unless I can find bigger needles)

I have continued work on:

• A Horde insignia baby Blanket. Lok'tar!

And I believe that is it...

PS: My Bday is in 2 days!

I feel like a bitch...

So, last night, Durok comes home and he and I have a conversation that turns into an argument. Not the typical I want to get married, he doesn't argument either. It was a new one...kinda. Started with my "I want to be let in emotionally and you keep me at arm's length" (which I believe is why I keep wanting to get married) and his "I do that to cope with your ups and downs". The argument ended up running the gamut from there to "are we really partners in this relationship".

Then, I go to check whose place the bi-weekly D&D game is at, and I find out that the game started an hour and a half earlier than the calendar entry read. I email the entire group knowing someone has a Blackberry explaining the situation as best I can when I'm sobbing upset (I lost the numbers of the people we play with, or at least those I had). I get a message this morning from the GM saying that "I forgot" is a "slap in the face" reason not to show up. So, I emailed the GM to explain the situation in full: I hadn't checked my email in days (almost a week); when I realized we would be late and didn't know whose place it was at, we waited for a reply or phone call; when we didn't get a phone call for almost half an hour, we figured no one got the message so we spent some much-needed time together; and, since I was extremely upset, I did not explain the full situation in the mass-email.

Is it the Bipolar that made me stay up till 4:30 one morning cleaning and then be a crying bitch the night after? Or is it something else?
