The swedish summer recently came to a halt with some cold and rainy weather, making me change my own plans a bit. This made me think and I got curious about what you people are planning on doing these coming 2 months or so.
school... i'm also going to try and finish a map project i'm reviving, and if all goes well start a flash game.
As most experts said this summer would be a warm and sunny one, I prepared a little hide-away for me to escape the heat. I have set up a miniature painting studio and I will probably read some books too. I will try to continue to work on and playtest Vampires In Space, the roleplaying game David and me is creating. Disclamer: none of these pics belong to me. They are random pics I found on the internet to show you what the models look like. I bought a Lizardmen army some time ago from a friend of a friend, but the color scheme of the models doesn't fit with my own so I'm planning on repainting most of them into darker colors. I have a bunch of other Warhammer models too that are unfinished or that need some fixing up. * I have 2 regiments of 16 Saurus Warriors I'm planning on enlarging to 20 models each and repainting dark green with scales in a dark red color. http://uk.games-workshop.com/lizardmen/miniature-gallery/images/saurus-warriors.gif * I have 2 Skink Priests that I'm repainting http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/newimage.asp?Size=A&Img=250045 * I'm building me a Slann Mage Priest and converting 2 old ones to be hovering instead of carried into battle

Getting out. Man all this studying indoors... I can feel my skin whitening and my muscles shrivelling each day. More specifically, I'm going to clean my bike and set off on long journeys because I need the exercise and it's nice to see places by bike instead of car/public transport. I'm also going to play football and basketball to avoid being a slack. If all goes well I'll go on a week holiday for which I'll get paid (long story...). That's about it. Lots of unplanned things will butt in of course but all the better. One thing I will definitely not do is read. I'm tired of all the texts and paying attention to them and memorising their content.
My relatives will be here this weekend, so I won't be on as much (not tht anyone cares ) because i will be forced to be "Social" and talk with relatives whom i've never met before, or people who claim to have met my parents like three times. Also, i think my parents said somewhere in July there is a family reuinion. bleh, i hate those things D< it's like saying "Sorry for never calling or sending letters, but here i am". i hope we don't go, i'm already going to meet enough relatives this weekened. In fact for the past three days i've had company, thus me not being here quite as much. i love family, i just hate having to abandon everything, clean the whole house, and be dragged into boring convos.
Main objective: im trying to quit my job and get a new one abroad.. Side quest: im working out at the gym 3 times a week Current mission: im having fun with sc2forums recently and enjoying a classic SCBW game with others
+1 I think I will be working all the summer, but I will try to go to some outdoor places during the lunchtimes, the evenings and the week-ends, and to practise a bit, so I will not complete that working-dead look I am getting since I am an office employee =/ ...
letss, see , ill go to rome with my family, learn some japanese, learn some drawing, and practice a little with my voice (for voice-acting, im not a pro, but i can do quite a few voices, especially demon voices)
get a different job, learn japanese, and create a game in my free time. thats about it, oh and go to my sister's wedding, and of course have fun here and there
My day is a bit like Fenix's, with less eating and gaming and more feeble attempts at getting something constructive done. Um... we're moving in a couple of weeks... that's about it until school starts again.
