Optimism and pessimism: Why I’d choose the latter

Here’s why. If you go through life as an optimist, expecting good things to happen, you get really sad when they don’t. But if you go through life as a pessimist, expecting bad things to happen, you get really happy when they don’t. It’s quite strange actually that because of this optimists tend to be quite gloomy people on the whole, and pessimists tend to be quite cheerful. Wierd.

In other news, I can now solve my Rubik’s cube! I solved it this morning in two minutes and five seconds.

This is not the post you’re looking for…

…unless you read my last post and are waiting for an account of my orky konvershunz. (I will be updating with pictures at some point, but a)they were taken on a really bad camera and b)I haven’t finished painting yet.

I opened the blisters and layed out the pieces on my table. I had planned what I wanted the final models to look like already to some extent, but it’s always fairly hard to get the result you wanted. Oh, and because I haven’t yet told you what I’ve been converting, I bought a 40k Ork Warboss wiv `uge choppa and a warhammer fantasy black orc big boss. My plan was to swap the heads over, give the fantasy ork a power klaw, swap the weapon arms round on the 40k ork, give him a double edged axe and a lot more dakka. The only two things I managed to do were the power klaw and more gun dakka, and due to difficulties with the arm movement the fantasy orc ended up with a bionik arm, having mauled the arm that was meant to go there. I also gained three blisters in the process.

But despite this, I also managed to give the 40k ork bioniks ( I reckoned they were needed to support the gun after all the dakka I had attatched) And I also attatched a gitfinda.

I stuck the fantasy orc onto a round base, because square ones just look plain silly, but did no more about the bases at that point.  I sprayed them and left them to dry, and began to paint. So far I have fully painted the skin on the 40k ork, based the skin on the fantasy orc and based the metal on the 40k ork. More coming soon, with pictures and more painting details.

In other news, still very little is happening in my life.

Finally, a post

The reason I haven’t posted for so long is that I have had nothing to post about. But over the weekend I did some major orky convershunz, so I’m posting about that now. But as there isn’t really that much time available to me right now before my lessons start, you’ll have to wait until later to get the full details.

In other news, nothing much is happening in my life at the moment.

School (again)

Well, this is my second day back at school, and I’ve already started counting down to next half-term. In other news, I finished painting all my dire avengers, prince Yriel and two more howling banshees. Also, I’ve completed some more (very fun) dark brotherhood quests in oblivion. Heh.

I’m Back

Yes, I’m back after five days of House Party. It’s an annual thing with my church, where we go to spend five days eating, sleeping, playing crazy games, singing worship, looking at the Bible and praying.

In other news, I’ve started Oblivion. I got stuck on Overlord and wanted to try something else, and have now shot through the ranks in the Imperial city arena.

Also, I’m going to try to start painting my Warhammer more. I want to do some orky converzhuns, but first I want all my Eldar (or most) painted first.

lolwut

I have now seen everything. I just watched Doctor Who fly through a wormhole into London in a flying bus. Also, the registration plate changed half way through for those who didn’t notice.

DIYmania

My father has had a sudden burst of DIY.  He is painting most of the house, re-grouting the shower etc. Also, at Whirlow park all but three of the ducks have vanished, and I found out the effectiveness of a thorn-covered stick as a torture implement.

Hello world!

Greetings.

At the moment I’m hoping that I will be able to find the time to update this regularly… Not that I don’t have enough spare time though.  A couple of breakthroughs this morning for me however: We won a game of ace TD, (something I have never done before) And got a very long way in LotR castle defence. (My brother had 6 crowns of Denethor… :o) Also, the moist caverns in overlord are hard. Especially the massive Hydra, though that may be because I ran out of fireballs.
