The Center of the Anomaly

Yeah buddy!  Dueling Helicopters!  From one of the most awesome sites on the web:  ThinkGeek.com.  I’m having them delivered to the office.  These things are going to be a blast.

I’ve decided to go ahead and get the dang thing:  an Xbox 360.  I’m sick of not being able to play all these cool games they have out now.  Anybody have any suggestions for favorite games to get?

Hallo!  I have BIG PROBLEMS with the home computer so I can’t blog from there and it’s been extra-super busy at work.  The home system seems to have some nasty bug that evaded my anti-virus and has put a strangle-hold on my internet use.  I get kicked off every minute or two and have to unconnect then reconnect to get it back.  Anybody ever have this?  That, and the fact that it takes 30 - 120 minutes for it to start up after a shut down.  BAH!  I’m tempted to go out and get a new system, frankly.  I dunno.

Anyway, I hope to have pictures of the sculpture projects up sometime as well as some other stuff. 

Oh, here’s one thing:  my netflix queue is empty.  Any suggestions?  Good stuff you’ve seen recently, or remember some old gems that everyone should see?  I watched “Sunset Blvd.” for the first time a couple months ago from a recommendation from Stoat Weasel.  Good stuff!

Just really busy at work and at class until nearly 10:00 pm and my computer at home giving me fits.  I dare not turn it off anymore - it takes 2+ hours to boot up.  I don’t know what the problem is either.

Some updates:  I finished my paper project barely on time - just before class started in fact.  I threw some bug thing together with tubes.  B+ for a grade.  I’ll take it.  (All of my pictures are at home so I’ll throw those up later).  We started our wire shoe sculptures and mine is going well.  I hope to mostly finish it tonight. 

We have our next project as well - plaster carving.  We have to meld some organic shape with some sort of man-made shape.  We all had to come up with 10 ideas for each.    First an organic form was selected from each of our lists by the instructor.  Mine was ram’s horns.  We then found out that we were NOT going to use the selected form from our list, but that someone else would get it.  We then went through the man-made form lists with the same expectation, but this time we kept our man-made form.  Then we randomly drew from the pool of organic forms.  I have to sculpt something that melds snakeskin with the Mandlebrot Set.  Did you follow that?  Snakeskin =  somebody else’s idea, and Mandlebrot Set = my idea.  And we’re not allowed to do anything with color either dammit.  Could be worse - one guy in class has to do something with a seahorse and a rake.

Well, work beckons.  Type at you later.  And pictures!

 Fixed post so it’s not total gibberish anymore.
