Arg! Nerd Overload!!!

There are several things I want to talk about. Since my last post, I have received Vols. 1-2 of Ultimate X-Men and have also acquired vols. 3 and 7 via work (they were on sale for $3.50 each!). I haven't found time yet to start getting into it because I've been bogged down with Guild Wars, prop making and work.

     Right now I'm reaching the end of my first legit commission and am very excited about it! It's the chainsaw from Kuroshitsuji that Grell uses and it looks really awesome so far! This version is 1000x better than the old one I had a couple years back! After I get this one shipped out, me and dad will be making 1 or 2 more and selling them at a flat rate of $120 each to get some quick money now that we know for sure how to go about it. Our next project after the chainsaw will be a weapon from WH40k. I've also been thinking of buying some of that awesome Wonderflex and making some armor pieces to see how well it works out and if I can do it well enough that I can actually sell something through it. We shall see!
Chainsword!
As for Guild Wars, I'd say I'm advancing quite a bit. I've beaten both Prophecies and Eye of the North and am now working on both Factions and Nightfall (I don't care too much for either one at all). So lately I've been addicted to it (and have been jokingly called a "GW Junkie"). Right now I'm saving up to get the Silver Eagle Prestige Armor for my main warrior character. I'm getting there slowly, but I'm sure I can get it within a month or so if I play it heavily enough.

Work has been...tolerable I suppose. I was seriously considering just walking out and saying "fuck you guys!" on the way out of the door, but instead I decided to be a responsible adult and suck it up. I cut my hours to 3 days a week, but apparently that didn't take effect since I'm scheduled 5 days a week still. On top of that, this week is now Spring Break for all the school kids. Joyous day! Now we get to be busy all day long with a bunch of either high or drunk kids! It's just fantastic. Really. Awesome. (/sarcasm)
Did I ever mention I got a new camera? :D
