Notes
Not much done this month, as expected.
Cleaned up my themes a bit, modified my “IE6″ theme to be called “legacy”, which can be achieved by going here: http://www.warrenshea.com/legacy. Note: It’s just my blogger theme, without the “Choose your theme” option. It should go to this theme by default if you have IE6 or IE7, the 2 crappiest browsers ever (next to IE9).

MIA 3 days…

Thursday, May 12th, 2011 at 9:43 pm

I could just…not blog. No one would notice. But then I wouldn’t be able to blog right now!

So…Going to Montreal for a Bachelor party. Leaving Friday morn, coming back Sunday night?

Went to Best Buy today and randomly purchased 3 games. Call of Duty Modern Warfare. Assassin’s Creed II. And Dance Dance Revolution. I looked at the DDR song list, it’s pretty small…but really, I just bought it for the pad. I can get other games or download other songs or whatever later.

I think I’ll turn off my computer tonight, something I rarely do….no point in wasting all that power until Sunday.

Until next time, my friends!

ME. ME. ME. (and Friendster.)

Thursday, May 12th, 2011 at 2:52 am

Another post written about me. By me. For me (not really).

In my random Googling of my name (which I do once in a while to see how I do on the Google Search Results), I came across my Friendster profile, last updated/viewed in 2004

http://profiles.friendster.com/1552125

It’s pretty hilarious because there are a couple of references to my single life as well as a testimonial (= Facebook’s wall) from Z before we started going out. Though it doesn’t sound like her at all :P

The most intriguing part of the wall was how I described myself 7-8 years ago, when I was 21ish?

2003/2004? (Age 21-22)

 

2011 (Age 29)

It’s crazy just how…little I’ve changed superficially. My tastes are the same, my favorites are still the same (guess I haven’t found many new things to top my old things). This is 7-8 years ago, 1/4 of my life. I’m fairly sure things changed dramatically between the ages of 0 and 7 and between 7 and 14. I would even say that between 14 and 21, things changed dramatically as well. But apparently between 21 and 28…I’ve been…relatively the same. Did my superficial growth get stunted? Did my emotional growth get stunted? I don’t know…it’s always interesting to see blasts from the past. It’s not a bad thing that I haven’t changed…or is it? Maybe it’s me realizing who I am and who I want to be in this crazy ol’ world. I don’t know, I’ll think about this one a bit more…

Side Note: I can’t believe I wrote Gundam Seed Destiny on that list from 2003-2004! It was good for a while, but overall that series blew chunks. Also, I wonder if I should be putting Death Note on my current anime list. As an anime, it wasn’t as good as the rest (though better than Naruto as there was no filler). As a manga, it’d definitely be on there…but I don’t have a manga section.

Side, unrelated note: Google imaging “in: warrenshea.com” provides some interesting results. It’s cool seeing all these images, from my site, on one page…I will check this again in the future.

Anyways, time to sleep I have a busy day tomorrow (and in the following days). Fortunately, I get to wake up at 9:30am :)

Some videos…about my Dwarf Hamsters :D

Chandler…cleaning herself…sticking her foot in her ear O_O Cute and kinda gross at the same time!
It’s incredible how her foot moves in that circular motion, so fast!


I always tend to find hammies sleeping in this tube. Also, no animals were harmed in the making of this video. Well, maybe one :/

Kotobukiya Black Widow – Leg paint issue?

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011 at 1:43 am

This is a video response to someone’s comment on my post: Photography – eternally time consuming.
I made it simply because I’m such a nice guy and I appreciate legit comments :) His comment was:

Hi. Can I ask you a quick question about your black widow figure.
I just bought this from forbiddenplanetcom and mine had really faded blue colour on the left knee, lower legs and boots. Does yours have anything like that? I’ve been trying to find pictures to compare it to but I could do with a second opinion. FP support were no help at all, cheers

To summarize: I found no problems with my statue.

Also, I <3 Kotobukiya and all Marvel and DC Bishoujo Series! Also, I bite the skin around my nails…but at least I clipped my nails and they look relatively clean. Sometimes…there’s this BLACK LINE underneath full of dirt, pencil lead, and decaying flesh. I won’t lie to you, it’s gross.
