Alucolor & Roksys: We Don't Know What We Are Doing

So Alu and I are signing a lease on a new apartment. We'll be totally by ourselves, which should be a nice change. Of course that also means we've been exceptionally busy, which is part of why I haven't been posting. That and I keep forgetting, but here's hoping I can pick back up. Though we're moving in May, so we may neglect it for a bit around then as well. We've also started learning the manual mill in our machining course, which is supposedly significantly easier and shorter than the lathe. So we're coming up on the end of the course, I guess. I've been fantasizing a bit about getting a job at Boeing or somewhere so I could tell people I make airplane parts for a living. I actually found an opening around where I live, but it will probably be filled by the time I'm able to reasonably apply. Oh well, I'm sure I'll find something. At this point whatever Alu and I find will probably be better than the job we have now. I'm hoping w...

I can't really think of one thing to blog about today. I could blog about FMA vs FMAB, but I don't think I have enough to say to fill out a blog. I was thinking maybe I could blog about Rok's present again, but I feel I have said a lot on that already. I could blog about Gods again, but I also feel I have said a bit much about that. So I decided I would blog a little bit about several things I am thinking about today. So here goes. I think that FMA the 2003 version has a better start then Brotherhood does. I feel Brotherhood skips over a lot and rushes through to where the stories really depart. And I feel there is some merit to that but I don't feel it was done very well in this case and I didn't appreciate all of the sudo-comedic scenes, they were too cartoony and I think they didn't fit well with what I was expecting from Brotherhood. It also gave me a feeling that the director figured you had already seen the 2003 version so they didn't need to flesh e...

Today is going to be a bit shorter of a blog because since we did nothing Monday we are doing everything today. We are shopping, cooking food, moving stuff, cleaning our house and we have to go to class today as well. Those aren't all of the things but they are the more prominent time consuming ones. While not doing things is nice sometimes, it makes it harder if you ad things you needed to do during that time. So while we are running around all day: Stay cool.

Sunday mark ed Rok 's and I's third anniversary, and to celebrate we got a buncha junk food and played video games the latter half of Sunday and all day yesterday. We didn't do anything and it was great! Well we went to a couple of stores but they were all luxury shops. Really we should have done more, but sometimes we just need a nothing day. And we figured our anniversary is a good enough excuse to do nothing together all day. This sudden outburst of laziness wasn't helped by the fact that we had been taking a lot of overtime last week and didn't have nearly as much time to ourselves as we would have liked, as a result we have remembered the money isn't worth the time. But anyway back to the main point, Rok and I have now been together three years, and I believe we have only grown stronger mentally and physically. I think we have been good for each other in so many ways and I think we can still elevate each other further. It has been a bit journey but it h...

I think a large problem I have is that my interests bounce around so much. It makes it difficult to make headway in any one project when I'm onto something entirely different the next day, but if I try to force myself to keep on one path, I get bored and frustrated and end up actively not wanting to have anything to do with it. But in addition to being so impulsive, it doesn't help that I'm also rather impressionable, much as I don't like to admit it. As a result, my reading and re-reading the Scott Pilgrim books and my dad's old Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes collections have instilled in me an interest in producing comics, at least for the time being. Alu periodically expresses a similar interest, though in her case, I think it's a more permanent one than mine likely is. Who knows though? Maybe if we get a good start on a decent idea, we'll stumble into something worthwhile. About a week ago I had an inkling of an idea for something called "Rick...

I didn't blog two of the four I was supposed to. I think this new setup is both good and bad for that reason. I don't worry so much about blogging so I don't write nothing blogs, but also sometimes I just don't blog. Oh well, there's no use in worrying about things I can't change. Now onto goals: Fitness Based Goals Reach Weight Goal (160 lbs) | I have been fluctuating on this goal for a minute. We went a bit to crazy after phase one was up. But we are coming back down and are getting back into the diet and being more true to phase two. I am over 200 still but only just. I am looking forward to continuing this diet and hoping we can still retain some self control now that are restrictions have loosened. This morning, I weighed: 200.5 lbs. | Lift Three Times per week | We stopped going to the gym while our bodies adjusted to no carbs. But we kept not going u fortunately. But we are planning on going back tomorrow and starting out easier on ourselves. Do ...

The gift I was making for Rok was supposed to be a Christmas gift, then it was supposed to be his birthday gift, then when it wasn’t done by his birthday it was supposed to be done by his birthday party, now it has been several months and I am still working on it. I guess my next goal is just to get it done before his next birthday. Maybe I can finish it before Christmas this year. I have been working on it a lot but I still don't see an end in sight yet, it was a rather ambitious gift to start with (Oh also I am sorry I am not saying specifically what it is, Rok will probably read this. I will probably make a post about it when it is finished and Rok has seen it, or maybe he can make a post about it.) But anyway, back to the point. It was a ambitious gift that I didn't realize would be so much work. But here I am stressing myself out because I haven't met a single deadline so I can give it to Rok. I am going to hopefully work on it all day today and get at least close to...
