A little welding news: did my practice CWB tests, which are single bevel butt joints in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead. It was damn stressful, and I may or may not have done well enough to have them bend without failing. Wish me luck! Of course, I still have to finish gouging the backing strips off, cutting them, and grinding them. *whew*
How bizarre is it when the little neighbor girl who had a crush on you grows up into a smoking hot woman? There seem to be no vestiges of that crush remaining, but she definitely very easy on the eyes (especially with that thong).
Speaking of smoking hot women, I need to meet one, as I am currently working on what I believe is my... Read More
How was Hayao Miyazakis Howl's Moving Castle? You didn't ask, but I am going to tell you anyway. *chuckle*
Stress and nervous tension are now serious social problems in all parts of the Galaxy, and it is in order that this situation should not in any way be exacerbated that the following fact will now be revealed in advance: the movie is extremely good.... Read More
Hmmm... I really need to update more often. Ah, but can my life really support updates more often? I don't know that it can support the existing level of updates. *chuckle* Must remember to find some filler material, perhaps with a specific theme...
Anyway, welding, a few failures of willpower, movies (Howl's Moving Castle was entertaining), and a little phone sex. I am in... Read More
Check this out: yesterday I got a message on Myspace:

Man, I need to update this thing more often. *chuckle* Went to the gym with Mark the other day, and while I am in pretty good shape, it became apparent that there are muscles that are desperately in need of more attention. *ouch* Anyway, I am going to go do a little cardio after I leave here.
Damn, time flies. Anyway, passed four rods (all of the horizontal lap joints) on Monday, so it wasn't the substitute that was speeding my progress. Sadly, no progress today since general class laziness resulted in the build up of a lot of scrap and we had to sort it and cut out everything salvageable (I was doing the cutting, which wasn't so bad since I...

Hey. We had a substitute on Friday and I managed to pass three rods (7018, 7014, and 7024 flat lap joints), though I don't think the two things are connected. *chuckle* Hopefully I can keep up the increased pace, and perhaps reduce the lead that the superstars have on me. Speaking of welding, that new girl (the one with the piercings and huge tattoo) has... Read More
Does anyone find themselves being incredibly embarrassed for people in movies? When they are in embarrassing situations that is. When confronted which such a spectacle, I cringe, I cover my ears, and I may even have to leave the room. Sad isn't it? *chuckle* It is an affliction I can overcome only through a Herculean act of will, and once I steel myself for the... Read More
Have I really not updated since Monday? Crazy. Well, I finally passed the 6010 overhead weave, or rather, my instructor finally took pity on me. I was getting better dramatically, but I probably should have been a bit better before passing. *shrugs* Ah well, on to the 7018 overhead stringers, which don't look too bad.
