Time Flies...

It's been awhile since I've written. Too long, really. I'm not sure where I left off or where I should start.

The remodel finished up on the 21st! It looks wonderful. I took before and after pics of that day as well as some fun, long video. It's so clean and new and there's still the odor of the paint/glue in there. I moved stuff in right away that day.

X-mas has come and gone. I received NFS:Carbon and Comic Book Creator; both things I've wanted very badly. I'm learning how to use it now. But when will I have time??? Currently, we are getting the boys bedrooms all fixed up. Kody's new bedroom was done yesterday; tho it was pretty late at nite. We worked till midnite getting things set up and it's still not finished. Kody had a lot of stuff to move over. The plan for the day is to keep moving Kody's stuff and then prime Thomas's new bedroom. He finally gets out of the living room!

Until Next Time

I released Ep5 of the S6 dio last nite. Unfortunately, there are some glitches with it that can be easily resolved. I admit, I didn't quite understand how zipped files work and it was brought to my attention that stuff was out of order. Which seemed wrong to me cuz the original folder it's in, everything's numbered right. But alas, any photo labeled 100+ gets shoved after #9! Literally, these damn computers read it as 8, 9, 100, 101, 102, 103+ and THEN back to 10, 11, 12... Dumb. But I fixed both Episodes 1 & 5 since they go over the 100 mark!

While on the subject of Ep5, I couldn't quite do everything I would have liked. I won't spoil y'all with what I had planned, tho a few people I talk to regularly on MSN KNOW what I've been bitching about. For those in the know, I skipped it. Had to do with lack of patience and my own storytelling w/ fotos ability.

Episode 5 introduces Shadow Walker. There's probably some confusion over just what the HELL he is doing. He IS a clone of Snake Eyes, that much is obvious. But when did this happen? I'll reveal that later on. Shadow Walker was sent in to succeed where Zartan failed. If you remember, Zartan handed the data on the Sigma suits, the energy source for them and the access codes to the Seattle outpost to Storm Shadow. In Ep4, Storm Shadow is defeated by Snake Eyes and SE 'steals' the data back.
*
I'll admit it. I skipped the sequence of SW downloading the data to his wrist unit. Sure, it would have made more sense but the lack of flow in the story wouldn't have made it any smoother. I guess I just ask people to assume that SW is running around the installation and only certain times are highlited. Particularly the SW vs Tunnel Rat, SW vs Stone and SW vs Spirit.

And onto real life... The remodel should be done in a couple weeks. Great Floors will be installing the Marmoleum on the 11th. It will go in the bathroom and the office space. Art has asked us to give him a week before having the carpet installed. According to Great Floors, it could be a 1-day turn around. So on the 12th or so, I'll go in and order the carpet. Then it should pretty much be done. After Emi and I move ourselves in, it's time to start taking care of the boys' bedrooms.
