This post has been saved as a draft for almost a year now. Oops! Thank goodness I cut my hair, though!
I’m still a little shellshocked from the surprise weeks later. I was truly touched at both the number of people that came out and how well kept a secret this turned out to be.
I updated my wishlist at the request of some friends. Ignore the ‘Older Stuff’ section. I need to clean that up.
Most of the update was me crossing things out that I had bought myself over the past year. I didn’t really add that much either. There’s just not a lot I’m looking for right now that I can think of off the top of my head, except maybe a TV that doesn’t give me eyestrain.
I seem to be a lot more interested these days in things I want to achieve, rather than things I want to acquire. I suppose thats a good thing.
I will add that between my apartment, lack of car, work and self-imposed responsibilities, I haven’t had much time to hang out with friends, which is pretty disappointing. Hopefully, we can remedy that before the summer is out.
I had a couple requests from people for me to update my wishlist for my birthday.
I have done so. I set it up a little differently this time. Ignore the Old Stuff section.
You can see the list here.
There are a few items that are not actually out yet, but I felt like being pro-active.
I posted a new video on Powet.TV reviewing Revenge of the Fall Voyager Class Starscream.
It was kind of rushed and its pretty obvious to tell where I had a script and where I was just rambling. Its not terrible, but its lacking something.
The toy itself is fun. Comparing it with the old one, it’s a better overall toy, but the old one has more play value, I think.
I just discovered that earlier this week marked the release of a recolored door poster by Jim Lee. Not just any door poster, mind you, but the door poster to end all door posters. This was one of many posters Jim Lee did when the second adjective-less X-Men book debuted in the 90’s featuring his artwork. I must find this, frame it, and mount it post haste. Now if only they would recolor and release the other posters he did from that time like the Magneto, Original X-Men, Things to Come and poolside posters!
This is what we did after Zac’s wedding reception in Wisconsin this past weekend.
More on the wedding later!
Posted the new video very early this morning.
It was up for less than an hour and received two comments already.
You can view the post on Powet.TV here.
It has been a topsy turvy past couple of weeks.
The weekend before last (May 28th – June 1st) was Botcon 2009 and the weekend before that was AnimeBoston 2009.
There is lots to catch up on and I will do my best of it.
This is actually my week for a Powet video. I will be covering the convention exclusives from Botcon, but its been really tight to put everything together so quickly after the convention.
More later. I need to post the video to YouTube now!
Ok, we’re not really doing this weekly anymore, but I just cannot stop playing this game. I blame this mostly on Zac for showing this to me in the middle of a POWETcast, but its a damn good game. Its a strategy tower defense type game. More similar to Supreme Commander than Starcraft, in that you have to manage the growth of your energy reserves along with the mining capacity all while trying to fend of enemy pirate ships. Good stuff. I might recommend going through the tutorial since I just jumped right in and was pretty lost at first.
Sappy, I know.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Brenna.
