Finally...

Well, I am finally getting in a better mood after having to re-rip every cd I have in an unprotected mp3 format.  o.x

Anyway, after a day or so playing with the Zune software, I am really liking it.  And to really test the compatibility, I pre-ordered Coldplay's new album, thus downloading the title track and getting the whole cd when it get released in June.  I was happy to see that the Zune software picked it up and added it without me doing anything.  Now, all I need is to get my Zune in the mail.  o.o

I am going to have to re-rip most of the Red Hot Chili Peppers CD's though since most (more like all) of them are owned by a friend of mine.

Yeah.  I hate you WMA format!!

Really pissed I am.

Yeah.  Ordered a Zune off Amazon since I have been needing a good mp3 player for a while.  Downloaded the software since it will still be a few days until I get the Zune in the mail.  Found out ALL my .wma music files, for some reason, would not work with the software.  Tried to convert them.  A setting set when I got this laptop made it where they can't be converted.

.......The solution?  RE-RIP EVERY CD I HAVE!!!

I know that is not a whole lot compared to others, but since all the red hot chili peppers cds were not mine, that right there is about 7, 8, or 9 cds I have to track down a friend for.  I will just live without them for now.

What I am going to do is re-rip everything I can to mp3 format, delete the same files that are in WMA form, then rebuild from there.  Good thing I am off tomorrow.

Again, Nothing Much Today.

Sorry I missed a post yesterday.  Wasn't really home until late last night and then I didn't really think about it.  :^/

Anyway, not much to say today.  Dr. mario came out on WiiWare, but I am waiting until Wednesday to download it.  Comic #6 went up on Lego Life.  And I am trying to get a story line made up for my other webcomic, Tales of Guy.

Besides that, nothing else today.  I will just put up some random pics from my camera then.  :^D

Fable Shirt I got From IGN:



Skeleton Guard Booth That Will Possiby Be In 'Lego Life':


That's it for today.  If I do anything else, I will make a post.  Night!

NOTHING TODAY!

Not home today. Went to work earlier, then straight to my sister's house, so I don't have any pictures or videos to update with since I left my camera at home. So....yeah. I will find something to post when I get home later. YAY!

Missed Friday's Post

Didn't do much today.  Worked a little late, then hung out with Leslie and Patrick.  All I have is some pics of LEGOS I did for no reason in their home.




And just because I did something video-related, I am going to try and upload it.  If it works, I will start doing videos also just for fun.  :^D



Well, that's it.  Sorry I missed a blog post for Friday.  :^/

EDIT: It seemed to work great.  YAY!  And since Blogger is on pacific time (I am guessing since it is two hours behind where I am, Central), this is TECHNICALLY the post for Friday!  YAY!!!!

And since I will now put vids on here, here is one from the Renaissance Fair here in Tennessee with two knights on horses battling.



.....And a video of one of my friends humping another friend's car.  o.o

A Boring Day Off

Today was kinda boring.  Was off of work today, was going to go to a friend's house to go swimming and stuff, but no go.  Oh well.  I did get a few new LEGO's today.

The new sets I received in the mail today were two small LEGO Castle sets.  Mainly, I am just working on getting more of the mini figures than anything right now.  Below is a picture of a random set up I did involving some of the Castle stuff.



Anyway, I finished Comic #6 for my webcomic yesterday.  A link is provided on the right sidebar thing there.  I used Photoshop Elements 6.0 in place of my now expired Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 and I have to say I like it A LOT better.  Out of boredom, I went ahead and did pictures for Comic #7.1.  I am going to put it together in comic form in the next day or so, then take pics for 7.2.  Below is a pic from #7.1:



Well, I guess I am going to get off of here now.  Trying to find something to do.  :^/  Oh well.  Later.

Boring Day

Haven't done anything "Lego-y" today.  Played Mario Kart Wii and kept getting disconnected.

Anyhoo....I am downloading Photoshop Elements 6 to try and see if it is a worthy replacemnt for Paint Shop Pro Photo X2.  The reviews I saw seemed to be positive, so, I hope it is good.  :^>

I should be getting my two new Lego sets from Lego.com in the mail soon.  I got some Castle mini figures with swords and such.  Yay.  lol  I am really trying to just get a vast collection of different legs, torsos, heads, etc., so I have plenty of options for the webcomic.

Well, I am playing Mario Kart Wii right now.  So, I am going to stop typing for now.  Peace.  :^D

Procrastination

Haven't done much with Legos today.  Need to finish comic 6, which I will do in a while, before the trial version of Paint Shop Pro runs out.

I did beat LostWinds though.  I have seen people saying that LostWinds was about 3 or 4 hours of gameplay.  I felt a little shorthanded when I beat the giant rock thing and beat the game in about 2 hours.  o.o

Anyway.....I am trying to find something to spend my remaining 800 Wii points on.  I may just wait and see the WiiWare that will be released next week.  I am hoping for Dr. Mario and Pokemon Ranch.  :^D

Well, I guess I will try and finish Comic 6.  Woo!

My Lego Blog

This is a blog with random news about stuff I do with Legos.  I do a webcomic called Lego Life on SmackJeeves.  Right now, the program I used for the webcomic, Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, is on it's last trial day.  I will probably end up buying it, but until then, I won't do comics.  I am going to do about 2 or 3 tomorrow night so I can update for the next week or two.  That will give me time to buy the program.

Anyway, I will probably update this daily with random pictures involving Legos.  I will also update when I get a new set.  Yes.....I am a geek.  o.o

Well, TIME FOR BED!!!
