Melty M&M's

All my m&m's cracked. I had them in a plastic egg (from school) and they got really warm and melty on the inside and cracked. Hmm.

Also, malty egg things are gross. I ate one thinking it was a peanut butter m&m and almost gagged. I spit it out and still taste grossness. Iew.

Now, on to that 5 day weekend.

Truth Crusade

Shannon and I are playing a Necromunda campaign. I made a blog for it.

The Blood Dragon is Born

A few weeks ago I finished painting one of the two Blood Dragon vampires Shann bought me for Valentines Day. Here is a picture of him. He is part of my Vampire Counts army. He shall give rise to a new bloodline of new units. Such as this converted Black Knight.
Shannon has been working on some Brettonians, and the knight is basically a dead one. So the deal is this. My unit of Black Knights is decendent of Shannon's kings, the same ones that his guys are decent of (that was a really difficult post to find!). So the colors and shields will all match. It will be fun to make a Brettonian Undead army.

More to come!

Ready to Go Home!

I'm just sitting at school waiting until 3:40 so I can leave. Man, during state assessments I can get so much done! I have nothing to grade and not too much to plan for (only 31 days of school left). Oh, but I colored today and made fractal cards. Fun times. We are gonna do them in school sometime in May.

Yay, 3:40, go time!

Recent Events

1. Tomorrow starts state tests. Eek. I predict that our students will average a 65%. We'll see. The state still hasn't (and won't until fall) released its scoring system. Stupid state.

2. While leaving Dillons on Saturday night, Shannon and I saw three people dressed like Vendetta go into Dillons. Cape, hat, white mask. Kinda odd. I guess they would've been asked to take their masks off.

3. Today is Shannon's birthday. Happy Birthday hon!

Zombie Lover

I have a zombie blog, and I put a counter on it, oh, back in February. Well, every now and then I go there and see if anyone else has. Well, since February 22, 2006 only one other person has gone there. And he/she is from England. :)

In other highly-important news, I am wirelessly posting to my blog from someone else's connection with someone eles computer from my house. Yep, it will be nice to have a laptop of my own and wireless in our dinky place.

Tornado Sirens?

Yesterday we had some pretty bad weather. Shannon has a couple of posts about it if you want to see the radar and stuff. Here and here and here. I knew we were supposed to have a storm because of the forcast, but I didn't see the radar until I got home. There were two really big, tornado producing storms north-west and south-east of us. So it looked like Manhattan might be okay. Then a third storm, headed right for us popped up in the middle and came right at us. Shannon and I grabbed our cameras and headed towards Konza by the scenic outlook.

There were about 3 storm-chaser vehicles (with car magnets, whirly things, and all) there. Shannon got out to look at the storm and take some pics and his hat flew off. It was really windy. Well, I got out too and Shannon and I watched the storm rain on distant locations and move quickly towards us. This picture makes it look really bad out (and it was pretty bad). Meanwhile in Manhattan, Shannon and I were safely watching the storm approach, the tornado sirens went off. Apparently the north storm came more south and had tornado with it. Scary. Jenette had to go to the the "shelter" at work (the on-campus day care).

Well our safety didn't last long. Out of the 60+mph winds came 2 rain drops and then 3/4" to 1" hail! No warning, just hard ice balls flying into things and sounding very damaging! Shannon ran to the car and I jogged. I wasn't fast enough. I got pelted 3 times, the head, stomach, and wrist. Then I ran pretty quick and jumped in. Ouch!
Here is the hail.And here is my welt! I'm so dumb. Learn from my lesson, hail outside and you outside? You run to not outside. It still is red today. But I'm fine.

After about 2 1/2 minutes of intense hail and 82mph winds, it calmed down, except for the wind, and we drove home. It was pretty scary. The hail hit our car hard, nothing broke, but that could be because Shannon angled the car so that the hail hit at an angle instead of dead on.

Fun times.

Dizzy.

I keep getting these dizzy spells. They are pretty light, and last for a while. It kinda sucks. I am not sure why and I don't know how to get rid of it.

Pimento Olive Tea

Does that sound good? Probably not. I think it's gross, and that is why I don't like red tea. So, world. NEVER buy me red tea. I do not like it. At all.

Gate Crashers

So, Shannon and I are playing some Necromunda. I made a Golaith gang, the Gate Crashers. They've played to fights, and so far have lost them both, lost a ganger after one game, and lost their leader after both. Great. The Gate Crashers, suck.

In happier Necromunda news, I finished painting my last Rouge Escher.
Now I'm going to try and redeem anything I can for the Gate Crashers.
