Saturday night I gave a stranded Buddhist monk a ride back to his temple, 6 states, 8 hours, 430 miles (all #s round trip) When we arrived at his temple, he blessed me...so, as Bill Murray says in Caddy Shack, "so, I've got that going for me." That really really made me feel good!

Big hitter, the Lama.

I finished them up there a few hours ago, man it gives you a good morale boost to see a fully painted squad of minis. I didnt do much highlighting on them (dont trust my hands) but im happy with the darker grimy appearance on them. All i need to do now is find my word bearer transfers and stick those on. Now ive got like 40 cadian models, a tank and like 50 space marines to do

One of these days I really need to get the supplies and paint my Hero Forge mini of my DnD character. I've done plenty of Gundam models over the years, but inking in panel lines on a 1:100 scale giant mecha is an entire different skillset from painting a little mini!

I had been thinking of getting a hero forge mini but the campaign i was part of fell apart towards the start of last year, and ive been on the fence ever since. Might get one some day tho just to have.

Mmmm ... pizza. I got leftover casserole from yesterday. Boiled dinner this weekend, homemade corned beef. Oh, yeah, found a recipe for pretzels, too.

You boil corned beef?

Simmer, really. And don't given me any snooty British attitude about how to cook. You guys aren't called "ros-bifs" around the world for nothing.

I got a new phone on Wednesday. I'd been nursing my Samsung Galaxy S3 since a week before it was officially released and it was trash.

New phone is cheap but light years better than what I had. Can now connect with family though Whatsapp and even have coverage all through my house.

Mine's up for an upgrade and I guess I could order one and have it sent but I much prefer having them do the data transfer. I can wait, I guess.

Mine couldn't do the data transfer. But what can you expect from a 9 year old phone?

Okay, yeah ... that's an old phone.

I liked it, what can I say? Still going to soldiering on as a device to read books.

You're retiring it to the library? Good show. I never thought I would enjoy reading on a phone but now ... I can carry so many books in my pocket!

I'm happy that I'm lucky enough to have a room in my house that I consider a library. 6 bookcases full of books that I like.

They're pretty damn nice:

Honestly though, might be worth waiting if you're serious about getting one. With the color minis Kickstarter having kicked the crap out of almost all its stretch goals, the quality is likely to increase considerably. (Plus even if you don't get the color-print mini, you could still use the eventual color tools to test out paint schemes before deciding how to paint an unpainted one!) I mean, they're not cheap, but if you've got a particular special character you'd like to see, it's a great tool.

Speaking of which, my DnD group is slowly trying to get things switched over so we can play online together since obviously getting together isn't an option right now. Sadly, might be awhile since our techie of the group is currently being slammed as he's his company's "literally wrote the company book on how to deal with this situation" guy and he's been working his butt off on that. Buuuut... that does give the rest of us more time to scheme and do some individual character roleplay bits online in the meanwhile. ^_^

I usually keep this in F&NI and F7, but I just want to share that my character in Sims 4 drew a little kitty because she was feeling happy. :3

IRL? I am doing pretty great with my schoolwork (well, great as I can be in this situation), and my McBreakfast is coming up!

[Hurdergaryp]

Ive gotten back into painting my miniatures last few days, which has made be incredibly happy as im pleased with the progress ive made on them. Should have a full squad finished today

Small happiness but it checks out.

The last few weeks I did some papercrafting and assembled a number of buildings for my 6mm miniature wargaming. Nothing fancy, but I made them sturdy with the help of internally applied cardboard recycled from packaging. Simple, yet satisfying.

Today's smiles brought to you by pot roast. It was expensive getting the roast, but hecc it was worth it in these trying times.
