First off, just a reminder that I am actively setting up projects for late June and July. I also have two slots each still open for the two Imperial Guard specials. Not too late for that. I’ll even sweeten the deal: if you use both types of special (ie Massed Infantry and 3×3 Tanks) I’ll get your materials at 31% off (if’n you need us to get them).

I slept in this morning. I got up and made three waffles with whipped cream and real maple syrup. I prefer imitation, truth be told. It’s chemically engineered for my tasting pleasure. My wife headed out to the farm co-op to pick up our food: artichokes, bananas, fresh bread, potatoes, asparagus. I cooked up some of these vegetables in olive oil, butter, salt and pepper and had that for an early lunch then headed down to the studio.

.

I got all the raw footage shot for a new batrep: Oceanic Eldar vs. Ultramarines. Yes again. I realized that I’ve played four games with my Eldar and all of them against Marines. I think I’m going to gag if I have to play Eldar v Marines again.

So, I brought home some Orks to paint over the weekend, and I hope to make some good headway there. By this time next week they should all be done if I stay focussed. Right now, I am slogging through the masses of infantry which is the hardest part. I picked a difficult schlep-tastic way to paint them, but I think it will have a good result– a bolder look befitting Orks!

Upon arrival at home I found that my wife had managed to bargain-hunt three bikes for $65 (total). There’s a guy locally who refurbishes them in his garage. I think as the economy tanks you’ll see more of this type of thing; impromptu home-businesses. People will discover that they can do just fine for themselves, and a community can take care of every problem within itself. It’s my opinion, as you know, that a city can solve almost everything, that’s the level of goverment that feels good to me.

The city I live in is on a plateau at the foot of the mountains. A high-land desert. Well, on the southern edge of this plateau are several roads, and they overlook farmland and copses of trees. To the East the mountains tower like cones of green and brown and white. In the pass are gargantuan windmills, their white blades circling slowly. To the west are more distand peaks and a sunset beyond white clouds. The wheat is high and green.

.

It’s a great place to go for a walk or a bike ride.

While painting the Orks my wife brought me a BLT and a sprite. That was a bit of paradise.
