I have not posted in a while, mostly because my work blocks blogger.com. Ironically they do not block blogspot.com so I can read my site (and regularly use it to check webcomics). Also I have been very Very Busy lately. The following is a list of what I have been up to in the last month:

The robotics season is starting up, and even though we do not have the game yet, there is a lot of work associated with getting the team up and running. Most of this is due to the fact that the school management side has changed slightly and that Gillette will be calling it quits as our sponsor at the end of this year. Also there has been a pro-active push to get the team started and organized before we receive the game (on January 9th).

In association with the robotics team is another organization called the Hyper Alumni Association. This group is being formed of various Hyper Robotics Alumni who wish to help the team however we can. So far all we really have done is organize a webpage, some meetings, and try to get a tax exempt status.

My girlfriend is the light of my life and as such, a big part of the time that I spend any given week.

We are looking for a house to buy.

I just went to the first meeting of the ForeRiver Paranormal Society (read as the Quincy USS Salem ghost hunters). Based on supposed facts that I have heard, I have some scientific queries that really can not be answered except by me and experimentation. Hopefully this organization will give me access to data and locations by which I may prove or disprove my thesis'.

I have started looking into Hypnosis, natural hallucinations, the inner workings of the mind body connection and methods by which to enhance and sharpen brain function. One such method promises to allow me to reclaim an additional 6 hours from sleep each day. Another may prevent the need for use of an epi-pen in case of an allergic reaction.

I have 2-3 electronic devices designed out that I wish to build. Most are simple machines based on magnetic fields.

I have written several short stories and am coming up with new ideas for more almost every day.

I have begun listening to audio books on the way to and from work. So far I have read/listened to everything by H.P.Lovecraft, all the tales of terror by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Two additional (and terrible if I may add) books by Bram Stoker, and a book called She. Haven't heard of it? Neither had I, but look it up, it is one of the most best selling books of all time, and might I add, a good read.

Hulu and Netflix has allowed me to watch a rather unparalleled amount of video a week. On a weekly basis, the list includes: dollhouse, Sanctuary, V, Stargate Universe, Family guy (which sucks now), The cleveland Show, American dad, Titan Maximum, Metalocolypse, Venture Brothers, The office, South Park. In addition to these I have watched all of Stargate, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar galactica, Farscape, The office, and I am working my way through the original V series.

I have gone through several separations from friends in the past years and now know that it is me and my unrelenting view on the way things are vs how they should be that makes them hate me. Added to this is a general indiference to the state of things and people that makes me seem incompetent. Finally, my mood swings vary from flat out depression to manic almost childish glee. I do not wish to loose or hurt any of my present friends, so I have decreased my active organization and participation in social gatherings. Though this action may cause them to think just what I wish to avoid, I feel that it is a more metered approach and more apt to the variability of my moods.

There is a game on Facebook Called Restaurant City. It has consumed a piece of my life. My Restaurant looks like a haunted house.

I have been cooking more lately than previously. Mostly I do this with my love.

Old Blue is dead and I now own Lex a 2005 Toyoda Camry XLE. In conjunction with Lois (my Garmin GPS device) I am much more comfortable and apt to travel. Though people believe it to be a superman reference, it was not meant to be.

In the past few years I have traveled to Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Virgina.

Every morning I read down through all the webcomics I have on my site. It helps to keep me Sane. I just added two new ones.

Oh, and I woke up at 5Am this morning because I dreamed of being stabbed to death in a hospital/jail/amusement park (seriously it was all three) by someone that looked like Christopher Walken and Steve Buscemi. And then when I was awake, in the dark I kept seeing a white figure looming over me. So, I busted out my computer and started watching TV, updating my Restaurant City, and updating youall.

So, that is me. No one will probably read this, especially since my flooble broke, but it feels good to update after so long.

Piece out.
For Science!

Ugh, I hate snow. I have been out four times in the last two days. It sucks too because I can't go out with my friends. I feel trapped in my home. Not that I haven't always, but now there is nature keeping me in here.

My Arizona tip is coming along nicely. I have entered everything from two guide books + the internet into google earth. It really helps with distance and time estimations. I think I will be able to be all done when I finally get my "Weird Arizona" book. Some people may call me Mad, but when I'm in Arizona, getting the most out of my cheep expedia plane/hotel/car price, they will be the Mad ones .... at me.... for being so awesome..... at planning trips.

I bet that that part of hell where suicides go is filled with ninja.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I did good for 6 hours today. Yesterday I ate so much I felt like bursting, and I promised myself that I would cut back on food. I would ease the pains with water and bubble gum. I've done it before. I even woke up early and exercised for 2 hours. Then came lunch.... and it all fell to pieces. Maybe ill skip dinner to make up for it. They do say that you shouldn't eat a big meal before you sleep.

Anyways. Thats all. Aren't I so boring.

I was told by some people that I should post something again. So here I am. It hasn't quite been a year. Its Sunday and I have some work that needs to get done. Mostly data processing sort of stuff. Last night I watched a new Bruce Cambel Movie called "Alien Apocolypse". It was ok. I also watched a movie called "Brutal Masacre". It was a mocumentary on producing a horror film. I've watched quite a few movies lately actually. Most are good. Even if they aren't great, I usually watch them all the way through. The only one lately that I couldn't was a movie Called "Coffie and Cigeretts". Truely an awful movie. Lots of good actors and famous people in it, but it had nothing that made me want to keep watching. The dialog was so stiff and random.

So, my jade plants are doing well. They have grown quite a bit since I figured out how was the best ways to take care of them. I think I have repoted each one twice, they have gotten so big. I'm just starting to try and take cutting to make new plants.

My monsters collection is growing well. I have a few in the mail that I'm looking forward to. One is a 14" tall replica of the cloverfield monster. It comes with several of those little parasites too. I should be getting that in december as long as Hasbrow does not put off the shipment again. I was supposed to get it in October, but I think they did not think so many people would pre-order it. I also just ordered a bronze lawn statue of Chernabog. I think I will set it up next to my door with Sammy the Lion and my Griphon. Prior to these I just got a little Richard Plushy. Richard is one of the main charactors of LFG, and a few months back they sold statues of him. I missed the gun on that one, but then they came out with a plushy version of him. I also got a statue of Shelob the spider from LOTR. It even comes with a little play set with the mummified remains of Frodo. I also got a statue of the new Joker, which was 395 out of 6000. I am feeling like I am growing as a collector and what I am getting are more collectables than plastic pieces of crap (Though I still will pick those up if I come accross a moving one [like, I bought a little godzilla the other day]).

There are squirrels on the roof. They are trying to nest in there because its below freezing out right now. I have a sub-woofer pusehd up against the wall, playing classical music 24-7, to deter them. It works for a while, but then they learn. We should really catch them or kill them. I'm sure an evicerated squirrel layed out on our roof would deter others. Filthy Rat Beasts.

Halloween went well. I went dressed as Gelous the Death God from Death Note. No one recognized me, but maybe they will at Anime Boston. A friend of mine through a costume party that went well. Then I went to salem and walked around. It was the first Halloween that wasn't drizzly or snowwy so there where tons of drunk kids. It was good.

As far as trip planning goes, i'm sorta awful. its not that I can't find out how to get there, how to get around, or what to do while I'm there, its that I never really can commit to something. The robotics team is going to Phoenix Arizona in March. I was planning that me and some buddies would go for the week. See the grand canyon. Drive the Apachie Trail. Experience Phoenixes Night life (lol). Hopefully it will go well.

So, thats it. Thats whats going on right now with me. Mostly same old same old it seems. As I get older I get milder (if thats possible) and would rather stay home reading than go out drinking. So i'm more boring now than ever.

Well, thanks for reading.

Hey hey. Just thought I should keep up with the summaries posted here.

Ok, so my monsters collection now includes an amazingly detaled figure of Megatron (the origianl, none of this Michael Bay shit), and soon will have a very large dragon. It is getting to be quite a collection, and I'm starting to have difficulties with them all. I'll probably bring in a new set of shelves or something.

We went paintballing on saturday. When I woke up (half hour later than I told people I would pick them up), I knew something wasn't quite right. And I still can't put my finger on it, but all I know is that the entire day was filled with nothing that went well. During Paintball, I got shot up something fierce. I literaly have a spot on my arm that looks like raw meat. When I got home, the rain was really bad and caused the power to go out. I went out to buy some snacks and drinks and got soaked in the process (The rain stopped as soon as I got home). People came over, and since we still had no power, we played poker. I lost. Then the power came back on, and we discovered that the TV was not hooked up through the surge protector and got fried. This however was remedied by bring up a smaller tv. Now, I don't want to tempt fate, and I have had much worse days, but I sware that when I first woke up, I could feel that something was off.

Today we woke up early and went on a walking tour of the Boston Freedom Trail. It was very educational.

Ok, so thats that.

Hey Kids. 4th of July came and went with little more than a wisper. Its been a long and relaxing week, but I'm very glad to be going back to work. Nothing else to really report. The 3rd and 4th itself where exciting but run of the mill. Thats all.
