Hive Fleet Kelari

For those of you who don't know, I have a hobby that's a cross between a strategy game and modeling. I've been collecting and playing with Games Workshop miniatures for almost six years now. For almost two years, I've been the proud owner of a decently sized Tyranid army. Well, today, I finally finished painting all of my models. The problem with buying models in bulk is that you get bored of binge building and painting sessions and just want to play. So for the past 20 months, I've played a bit here and there and have painted my models slowly but surely.

Well, now that the army is completely finished (enough to play in stores anyway, I still need to decorate the bases of some models), I've decide to unvail it to the world. I've posted pictures to my Webshots so you should check them out. If you have money and are looking for a hobby, I can answer questions. But it's not as cheap as I'd like it to be and it's not as popular as it could, so I don't want to pressure anyone.

Random Postage

And not the 39 cents variety either.

So it's been a while since I wrote anything here. I figured it was about time for an "It's getting close to the end of the year" rant. So let me lay things out for you.

Starting today, I have 12 days of classes left in the final Spring semester of my college career. Over the next two and a half weeks, I have two decent-sized papers, two projects, two portfolios, and two tests. This means that I won't be able to continue my slackerness for very long. At least until exams roll along. Then I only have two exams over the course of a week and a half. So this year, I'll actually get to hang out with/distract people, as opposed to my experience this time last year, living in a computer lab. So I just have to plug through the next few weeks, and get summer rolling.

Speaking of summer, I'll actually be in Raleigh this summer, taking two courses during the first summer session and relaxing and/or making money during the second summer session. Somewhere in there, I hope to take a trip to Connecticut, to see Crystal after she gets back from Italy.

After that, it's student teaching in the Fall and then... the "real" world. Scary...

Well, that's all I've got. Thanks for reading/skimming.
