Not only were the spray paints I bought for Zenia incompatible, but they stank like an old munk's dirty underwear, resulting in my filter mask somehow loosing its capability to keep general stinks away from my lungs. For some reason it fumed a whole cloud of spray paint vapor into my nose every time I took a breath through the mask, and of course that meant I could either get brain damage or simply wait until I get to buy a new filter mask. And so last Saturday came when I could visit a huge store filled with tools and construction material, metal objects and other manly thing, also known as a hardware store, I believe. Wondering if buying a more expensive mask with replaceable filters would be cheaper than buying the same disposable filter mask everytime, it turns out it was, therefore I bought one of those things. It even looked like some sort of evil mask from the Star Wars movies, so that was a good thing apart from the fact that the quality of this mask and straps were not really as good as the ones of the disposable mask, so I took the old straps from that one and put them on the new one. Still the rubber is quite a lot stiffer on this new mask, not giving the same nice seal I got to my face with the other one, and worse than everything else is that some damn edges inside the mask are digging into the front of my nose, making it feel like all the cartilage inside of it has fallen apart. But other than that annoying mask, I also bought a nice model kit of the ship Titanic that somehow cost almost nothing. I'm not really interested in that ship because of the movie that was made about it, but I'm more interested in it in a historical sense, seeing as it was an absolutely huge ship that unfortunately hit and iceberg on its maiden voyage and did so the 14th of April 1912, meaning that on my birthday this year in 2012, this event happened 100 years ago, and that's exactly why I wanted to buy this model kit. Maybe I was even one of the people who died during those events in my previous life, depending if one is to believe in previous lives. And now a story about the first time I was glad to have bought socks after my work shoes basically ruined all the socks I had and I stumbled across a pack of what appeared to be super durable work socks, perfect for my need as a person who pretty much build stuff all day, all year without many hours to relax. A long phono to sound jack cable was also bought to convert some of my LP tracks over to MP3. So far I didn't really succeed in that. The Gynoid Zenia is almost almost finally completed with only the arms and a few joint details remaining, so this Saturday was spent on buying more spray paint for the arms and a few hinges and such after realizing the best way to lock Zenia's leg joints would be to screw bolts through hinges inside the body that would also flex when the joints are released. These joint locks seem necessary after Zenia became so damn heavy after putting in all the joints and other stuff that will make her look awesome like a glowing white goddess. And so came the plan into action to buy an iPhone 4S that I had seen in a mall last Saturday, and so far everything seemed to check out with the purchase almost complete until I finally realized that the iPhone the guy in the store picked out for me was the black one since there were no white ones left! That was a damn disappointment, followed by another disappointment that he did not know when or if they would return to the stock or not. Fortunately another store said they would most likely get it in again without knowing when, so one must buy one then. Moving from new technology to old technology, I finally found a nice 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System machine at the used stuff store where I have many times bought LPs. Alas the seller could not find the controls for it, so he told me to return to pay him later when he thought he would have found the controls and cables for it, so I do hope he does. I also got a Super Nintendo Entertainment System some while ago that also has no controls or cables, so I will try to acquire those as well soon. All I want now is a nice old Atari with Pac-Man and Space Invaders. All hail. Just as I wanted to get a much cooler full black and manly sewing case, I found one exactly like this at a store where I also bought some discount shower mounts that will later be used for the Gynoid Almea's head and arm movements. Now I'm just tired and don't know what else to write here.

Log - 12 January 2012 - Fluffy red Diffus.

2012-01-12T12:12:00.000-08:00

One of the things you usually notice after it has happened is that alkyd paints and acrylic paints don't mix and react badly to one and other, resulting in Zenia's paintjob looking like the skin of a scrotum instead of becoming shiny white and smooth. Next plan is to buy new acrylic spray paint by the same brand from the same store and re-paint Zenia instead of trying to find alkyd silver paint and clear coat that I have no idea where can be found. Being that it's only two days until Saturday when I can buy new spray paint, I decided to stay at home yesterday to fix whatever would need fixing here and also got to work more on my website, deleting all my previous 4:3 ratio photos and pages now that I am replacing them all with 16:9 ratio widescreen photos and pages instead. While going through all these photos, I looked at the temporary banner for the fluffy, red marionette called Diffus that I've been planning to make for about 3 or 4 years already and thought maybe this would be the best time to start making that fluffy thing since it would not really take long when first getting to make it, and so I started to make it. The fabric was stretched out over the floor and the shapes were traced out, then the parts were mostly sewn together, only it got so late that I didn't bother finishing it then anyway. Today I woke up somewhat early because I was damn hungry, so I got plenty of extra time to work on Diffus anyway since I got up at that time. Sewing the parts together went fast, and after that I went down to my workroom to find some sticks in the toolshed that I would turn into the control cross for the marionette movements. After completing the control cross, the fluffy marionette was tied to it using a thin fishing line that wasn't too visible against the rest, and so Diffus was finally completed after having bought the red fabric for it years ago. In fact I used to own a pink duck-like animal marionette when I was a child and therefore already knew about these sort of things, but it was after having seen one at my ex-girlfriend's home that I decided to make my own, and it turned out looking preddy darn funny and fluffy. After having imagined this thing completed for years, the end result looks exactly like what I had in mind, making it seem like I've always had the thing, so I suppose it became just what I wanted it to be. I also realized that I've got several unseen DVD boxsets of Star Trek, MacGyver and Scrubs and will begin watching Star Trek tonight in bed on my portable DVD player. That's just what I got it for, the sweet awesomeness of watching movies and TV shows in bed.

Log - 07 January 2012 - Wildfire.

2012-01-07T06:55:00.000-08:00

And so begins this year. In a mall not that far away, I found absolutely nothing of interest today, but in another mall somewhat further away in the other direction, I finally found a nice piece of fabric for my Jawa display costume's robes. Though it was really a curtain, it won't really matter, it will get cut up anyway as soon as I get the time to do other things. As of now I have been working hard to complete the Gynoid Zenia and finally got to start spray painting her body parts white recently, so it should all come together nicely soon. Of course one of the problems with spray painting things is that the whole room stinks like hell after that, and most of that smell gets everywhere else too through the gaps between the doors and such things, so today I wanted to buy a rubber sealing trim for the door to solve this problem. They didn't have any of this at the first store where I thought they had it, but instead I found some nice knee pads there to solve my other problem of getting sore knees from sitting down on them all the time when I'm building things. Another nice item I found there was actually just a cheap toy microphone, just the same as I used to have as a kid, so I knew already that any sound made into it would be vibrated further by a coiled spring suspended cup inside it, making an instand echo to any sound. What the fudge will this be used for, you say? Well it turned out by playing around with an empty Pringles can at my friend Lassor's place made me discover that my voice would get really dark when growling into such a can, so by modifying this can with the toy microphone for echo effect and adding a voice changer circuit board to it to make my voice even darker, it will just about sound just like the dark, growling moan of a Big Daddy from the BioShock games, or more precicely the voice of the one Big Daddy called Subject Delta who I am making a costume of, so the voice effects will of course be for this helmet instead of having to hook up some old MP3 player to it to play the same random moans over and over again when I can make the moans myself to whatever speed or sound I want. In the same mall where I bought the fabric for my Jawa display costume, a store selling weird costumes and other perverted party items were about to close down and was selling everything at half price, that is when I thought about the lenses they used to sell there and wanted to see if they had any more left at half the cost. Luckily enough they had just the right ones for my pre-armored Darth Vader costume, looking like red and yellow evil irises called Wildfire. I do believe these same lenses were later renamed to Darth Maul by the company since they looked exactly like the eyes one would get by turning to the dark side, but I don't really care what the name is anyway, these are good enough. I suppose naturally some people are squeamish about putting some foreign objects onto their eyes, but so far I've had about 2 and a half kilos of grinded metal and other crap fly into my eye cavity for years while building things, so poking a soft piece of colored rubber onto my eye doesn't really get to me at all when I usually poke a wet Q-tip around in my eye socket to clean it, which of course is much worse. And so back to that rubber sealing trim again. A different store where I knew they must have had it did in fact have it, so I bought one along with two packs of chromed edge trims for Zenia. Getting back to the workroom, I spray painted more of Zenia's parts after attaching the rubber sealing trim to the door frame, and sure enough it helped keeping in the smell. Alas opening the door to get out of the room made the smell ooze out into the hallway anyway...

Log - 31 December 2011 - The end of the world!

2011-12-31T07:23:00.000-08:00

Of course now people are smart enough not to believe the world will end in 2012 just because some ancient Mayan calendar ended at this year, or in any other case resets for some reason, so today the world will of course not end after the time reaches 12. The day up until now was not really any special, just eating some dead pig with the family while waiting for the fireworks to start. Not really many fireworks this year though, but I got some awesome photos of what was sent up anyway. If I may, I would like to yap on about the things I have accomplished this year as I usually write about this every time the year changes to a new one. First of all I finally got to buy my own awesome Unimat machine for metal lathe work, metal gear making, woodwork, and basically everything else you would want to use it for. I bought every last missing movies and TV series I've ever liked on video through play.com where those things are cheap with free shipping and even pre-ordered the Star Wars complete saga Blu-Ray boxset there that I later of course got this year and watched with much joy, even while being sick during the last three movies. Up until then, I had not watched the Star Wars movies for years just for getting the "new movie feeling" when watching them again on Blu-Ray. I changed my website's name from "The Eternal Darkness" to simply "Dark Side Sith Lord" like my URL www.darksidesithlord.com to point more towards the character Darth Vader who will be the center piece of my website eventually, besides I was damn tired of darkness and evil anyway after nearly losing it several times during the beginning of this year, but that soon changed when my old neighbors moved to another house in this same time that coincidentally also had a built-in apartment underneath it that I fortunately later could move into, and so I was not just some nerdy geek living with my parents anymore, instead I was not a nerdy geek with my own robot-filled apartment! Still no RB5X robot in the mail though after probably having been conned by some butthole into buying that robot that probably never even existed in his possession. Other than that, mostly everything needed for my new apartment was bought in, such as a refrigerator, laundry machine, coffee grinder, forks, knives, spoons, a huge TV, shelves here and there, a huge black couch, a cool table, and so on and so forth. Eventually I realized this place was of course that first house I would supposedly move to according to those weird psychic sources I checked out years ago, which was pretty damn accurate right down to the color of the walls and the overall shapes and settings of every room. I decided to build yet another red and black Gynoid statue named Roxena that was later finished in the basement of the local stone museum after being allowed to work on both her and Zenia down there. Later when my old room was basically empty, I decided to move Zenia up there since it would be easier to finish her there instead of walking down to that museum all the time where I could not spend as much time with the project as I would want to. Up until now I have been working a lot to finish Zenia, but did not get to finish her this year, although she is nearly nearly finished already and won't take too long to finish past the start of 2012. I bought a nice new huge high-end office chair for my computer desk, a crawly little caterpillar robot, and all the Studio Ghibli movies in the English dubbed versions at nearly the same time. After realizing it would be nearly impossible to photograph a "Little Sister" from the video game series "BioShock" to edit into the photos of my Subject Delta costume from this same game series, I thought it would be a good idea to buy a child mannequin to turn into a real life-size "Little Sister" statue instead since I was already going to make a small, simple tape and paper mannequin for the inside of a Jawa display costume from the Star Wars movies and could use the "Little Sister" statue inside the Jawa display costume instead since both these characters are very small and have big glowing yellow eyes, so that was pretty darn perfect for both these purposes, and the end result turned out pretty damn realistic looking and creepy like it's supposed to be. Having bought the special edition boxset of the video game BioShock 2, I was now in the possession of an old style LP record for further retro feeling related to the gameplay, so later I decided to bring down the old record player from my previous home's attic to test it out. A small stack of LP's were also found up there and brought over to this place. The player didn't really work well, but I got to listen to at least some of the music which I thought was pretty damn good, seeing as I like old 1970's and 1980's music and all, so I went fully into trying to fix up the player by gluing and screwing and cleaning and spackling, even replacing the stylus needle that was basically completely flat instead of pointed. Realizing how many good songs there were on these LP's that I had never even heard before, I soon became one of those weird people who shuffle through LP record boxes at markets and used stuff stores to find lots and lots of awesome music you would not hear anywhere else for a dirt cheap cost. Although I didn't get to annoy the Technical Museum enough this year to make them sell the Modulus robot they absolutely do not need, I still got to buy a whole bunch of new and unused Modulus robots and parts in their original boxes with brochures and manuals and whatnot, though it did not include the full humanoid version called Moddy that is still my favorite robot, still I did finally find some new things on the Internet about Moddy after setting Google to search only for Italian pages, and shortly after I found two people who both in fact owned Moddy robots. Still this excitement didn't last very long after the first guy never replied me and the other guy decided not to sell it to me, but at least I've learned that finding a Moddy robot in Italy is not purely impossible as it is to find one here in Norway or anywhere else. Still I would prefer that beat up and worn out Moddy robot from the Technical Museum after realizing that one is most likely the one they displayed in the window of the store that sold them, meaning that that one is in fact the very first Moddy robot and robot in general that I ever saw in my life as a child. Still those anus sphincters wish to keep it stored in their basement after claiming it is important to keep it there because of a "cultural history", which is of course all bullshit after all the other lies and bullshit they have served me ever since the first time I asked to buy that robot, so I wish nothing well for any of those people. They can all suck my ridges! As for other awesome Italian things, I wanted to buy a simple scooter to ride around on since I do not own a car driver's licence yet and my old moped looks like a black banana on two wheels, but it turns out the scooter I was about to buy was just a piece of crap, so I did not know where else to get a cheap scooter anymore. Later a trip was taken to a place called The Scooter Central where I thought I probably wouldn't buy one since they only had expensive Vespas and other such scooters, but then I saw just the most awesome big and red shiny Vespa with a custom leather seat and other tricked out custom features and really wanted that thing right away. Originally I didn't even want to spend much money on a scooter, but realizing I could actually afford an awesome new Vespa like I've always wanted, I paid so much more to get it, and I haven't even regretted having spent so much money on such a nice red Vespa, though things don't always have a good story connected to them when my Vespa was caught up in an annoying accident that ended up sending it to repairs. Later it got more or less fixed up again, and I got to take two nice long trips from here to Oslo anyway. Later I got really sick though and didn't even have the energy to cover the leather seat of my Vespa, resulting in it getting black mold stains from water damage. I still didn't get to do anything about that and am not even sure anymore what it looks like. Because the first Gynoid I built named Cyrah didn't look like much anymore next to the other Gynoids, I decided to re-design her face a bit and give her a complete overhauling with fresh new sparkly shiny silver spray paint, chrome stripes, green highlights, and many other new features to make her look just as good as the other Gynoids, even changing her overall body posture to make her look more natural, so now the new Cyrah looks much better and has a more defined green color scheme. I got to wear my Anakin Skywalker costume at a completely awesome convention called Desucon and even got to go up on stage with the rest of the Nordic Garrison and got much applause and good comments. I even got about 500 hugs at this convention, which was awesome. Ironically and most fortunate was that two other members of the Nordic Garrison dressed up as both Anakin's master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his wife Padmé Amidala, so I got to take some pretty cool photos with them to later add to my website, though I have strangely enough not even received them yet. Damn tragic was the fact that only a few weeks later, a terrorist bomb exploded very nearby the place where Desucon was arranged, so I was lucky not to have been there. Still there were almost 80 people that were not so lucky when this same evil terrorist took a boat over to an island camp where he shot and killed everyone he could. Shortly after this evil thing had happened, thousands of people placed roses all over the streets of Oslo, filling up a huge area as big as a swimming pool of nothing but flowers, and there were even more flowers other places too. I got to witness all these flowers myself on a trip to oslo near the time they would remove the flowers. Still it's nice that they will turn all these flowers into soil for some sort of memorial or whatever they had planned about this incident. Shortly after I went on a trip to Sweden where there were even more flowers and Norwegian flags placed everywhere because of what happened. I also bought the last of the WowWee robot creatures that I wanted to get in the form of the Roboreptile. I never really got to even test this robot this year though, only having bought batteries for it and placing it on a shelf, but I hope to get to film it soon the first time I turn on it's power. Having already made four robotic women in different styles and colors, I thought about maybe making a final fifth Gynoid in gold and orange colors since I had so many unused gold items left from my other Gynoid projects. Always having wanted to sculpt Lara Croft's face since I think she looks interesting and pretty, I thought maybe this would be the perfect opportunity to make this face on a final Gynoid, and ironically I found an Internet auction later saying that a store-line was selling away all their mannequins for some reason to the dirt-cheap price of 400 NOK. At this store I had the choice between two types of mannequins in two different colors, one being Asian and the other being Caucasian, so I didn't really know which one to choose, then I suddenly realized how much the Caucasian mannequin already looked like Lara Croft and decided to buy that one. I didn't even get to start working on this Gynoid named Almea this year as I've been too busy only working on Zenia so far. Though I'm just some weird guy building female shaped robot statues, I still get the time to interact with some of those actual women out there, one of these being my first ex-girlfriend from almost 10 years ago, and dang that was an interesting experience having her over at my apartment. Though we had not really planned for anything, I just got back those feelings I had for her all those years ago and soon after kissed her. She didn't mind but didn't really know if she wanted to get involved like that, but the day after we were into it like two cats. Oslo was a place I had previously never liked at all and just felt nervous and uneasy each time I was there, but this all changed too when going for a nice trip there with my ex-girlfriend, and we had a great time while doing so, having seen most of the neat stuff there is to see there. We also took trips to other places and even walked around this place a few times. Unfortunately I became sick again later and quite irritable and annoyed at everything, so I said a few things to her that made us argue and stop speaking to eachother for some while. Though we talk again now, her plan to come back here no longer lasted. Right now I'm not sure what I feel about her, though she is one of those girls who I'll always love anyway. When Halloween was right around the corner, I wanted to finally finish a blue leather jacket inspired by Michael Jackson's red leather jacket from the music video "Thriller" and just about got to finish it for Halloween after having bought the rest of the leather needed for it in the shape of an old chair that I got to buy for only 50 NOK. The lower mine had caved in before this years Halloween event in the local mines, so the whole route was pretty boring this year, making people have to enter the upper mine, walk down the stairs and around some tunnels there, walk up the stairs again and enter the final room to get candy and things to drink, then walk back out again through the same tunnel. I just stood there next to the stairs, not really saying anything because of my veneers giving me a weird speech, then a TV crew came by and filmed me for a while. Coming home after that, I got to see myself on TV too, so that was the second time I've been on TV wearing a costume. Later I got some photos of the costume taken in the forest nearby before getting into my regular clothes again. Some of the last things I did this year was to buy diamond shaped crystals for each of the Gynoids in their unique colors, though I have no idea what these crystals will be for in the story I will make for them, but I'm somewhat sure it's important. Later I bought a cheap Cleopatra costume to use as Almea's clothes since golden costumes are far easier to find and cheaper to buy than just a cut piece from a rool of fabric, plus such costumes also consist of various different gold colored fabrics with prints and other nice effects on them. Later a very bad Christmas came for me when I got some money and socks. After that again was New Years Eve and the happenings described in the beginning of this log. That's all for this year, but I'm sure I did many more things than what I posted here and will get to do even more things this next year, unless the world explodes, that is...

Log - 28 December 2011 - Cleopatra's clothes.

2011-12-28T15:40:00.000-08:00

With Kweznuz over a few days ago, I don't really care to write much about it, or make a log about it in the first place since it was not one of the best ones so far after some damn arguement that caused me to get out of my parent's house after yelling some bad things as I usually do when I'm offended, so I chose to stay in my own apartment instead this year until someone came to pick me up anyway after it was supposedly a bad thing that I didn't join them. And then there's the other part of it involving eating some poor dead animals and opening presents that mostly contained money and socks for me this year, although I don't really deserve anything. So far I have successfully widescreenified all of the main pages of my website after figuring out it would be best to make the whole thing and all the photos in widescreen instead for the new times when probably no one owns a 4:3 computer monitor anymore. I suppose it's a good thing then that I never really got to finish any photos of costumes and barely anything else now that I would have to widescreenize them all anyway. Most of the photos I have added were not really that good in my own eyes and would need re-working anyway, so no loss there. In fact I bet that when my Gordon Freeman costume is completed, tons of geeks will ask for higher resolutioned photos of it for wallpapers or graphics, so those photos would look even better in widescreen too, plus compressing them to 60% quality doesn't really make them look any worse than uncompressed ones and they take actually less space or just the same as my old narrow screen photos. The first build-up pages in my website to be in widescreen are the ones showing the creation of Zenia since I am currently working on this huge Gynoid statue right now and have been editing the photos to widescreen as they come in. I still photograph them in the old 4:3 format since this will let me adjust the photo up and down to choose what I want to crop away to make a 16:9 formatted photo of it, so no settings will be changed on my camera either. All those years ago when the first Gynoid Cyrah was simply a converted mannequin to wear a costume on, Zenia was supposed to be the only other Gynoid as Cyrah's small little jumpy sidekick girl, a place that the third water Gynoid Sheera later filled instead now that the plans to make Zenia a small Gynoid have been killed a long time ago. Zenia was always meant to have a fully articulated body, or at least a mostly articulated body as it is now, but the mannequin I bought to build Zenia out of turned out to be absolutely huge and even taller than Cyrah, now resulting in her mostly articulated body to reach to about 6 feet and 5 inches, or 195 centimeters, even taller than myself! Because she turned out so damn tall, I thought her boobies wouldn't really look right for that tall body and decided to blow them up a bit by cutting a slit underneath the middle bottom of them and pulling them outwards, but then they didn't really look right anyway, so I ended up bending a bunch of aluminum plates above them to act as a support structure that would be covered in bondo to become the new surface of the hooters, though after doing this to correct their shape, they ended up becoming absolutely huge! Sure enough knockers are the few things that can not become too big, so hopefully they will fit her new huge body and look big and bouncy, though they aren't really bouncy and completely solid hard though, but you get the picture. Also in the beginning when there was only Cyrah, I really only added whatever I wanted to her since I didn't really care about a story behind her when she was only a converted mannequin for a costume anyway, but later when I started building more Gynoids in unique colors that match elemental powers, I realized that these Gynoids had actually become my own version of a group of characters I used to love as a child that had such unique colors corresponding to elemental powers, such as the blue one would be associated with water and the red one would be associated with fire and so forth, therefore I later re-designed Cyrah to become the green Gynoid who's power I think is creating life such as all the living robots and plants on their planet. The final Gynoid I will build after the white and purple light Gynoid Zenia is completed is the gold and orange power Gynoid Almea that I have been buying parts for in a long time now to prepare for her creation. Gold fabric is not really that easy to find, so today I wanted to visit a costume and party store to buy a cheap golden costume as these are mostly more colorful and cheaper than a single row of meter bought gold fabric anyway. I found a really nice Cleopatra costume with a long gold dress, some collar stuff with a bandeau and some other head piece with all interesting gold fabrics in different textures and colors and even stripes and dots that change color, so these fabrics will soon become some cool new clothes for Almea for sure. I also finished sanding Zenia's new huge girl baloons today and am actually soon done building her after adding all the lights and spray painting it all, then I can finally spend at least one day in my apartment again since I've been busy all day every day building Zenia so far, so my place is sort of in a crappy state right now.

Log - 27 November 2011 - Diamond power.

2011-11-26T15:21:00.000-08:00

Many things have happened since the last time I wrote a log, but I never seem to get the time or energy to write any new ones anymore since I am basically working all damn day on my projects, which is good though now that the Gynoid Zenia is actually almost completed after having been on hold for about two years, having only a head somewhat completed while the body was completely unmodified in any way. With my old room at my parents house still empty and full of dents, holes, paint, and whatnot from my previous projects, I now have the perfect place to work on my projects in the winter time, having nearly completed Zenia there already. Being as Zenia was always planned to have a fully articulated body, I've been fixing, modifying, cutting, bending, bondoing, and everything else to give her body joints where ever this is possible. As of now, most of her body has now been equipped with joints that will make it much easier to pose her around for the science-fiction artwork I make with these Gynoids, and a few days ago I finally got to assemble her whole body again for the first time after giving it all the joints except for the arm joints, and she actually stood up good enough once I secured her in place with the calf spigot of the glass base plate. She could in fact also free-stand, only the joints weren't really strong enough to perform that action perfectly because of how heavy she has become, most of the weight coming from the actual head with all its mechanics. Zenia was actually meant to be the second and final Gynoid that would be smaller than the first Gynoid Cyrah because of all the joints that would have to be added, so having it small and lightweight would of course be best, but then I bought a then lightweight fiberglass mannequin that I later realized was a whole lot taller than the four other Gynoids I now also have. Now that Zenia's body is even taller because of all the joints that required gaps in between them all, she is absolutely huge at around six feet, five inches tall. That's even taller than me who is mostly concidered to be very tall at six feet, three inches. With all these Gynoids coming into place with their own unique colors matching their elemental powers, I realized that I was actually making up my own version of the kind of stories I used to love as a child, being about living robotic heroes in such unique colors as red, blue, white, and so on to go with their elemental powers of fire, water, and ice. Because of this I have decided to create my own story for these Gynoids since it is so similar to the storylines I used to love until the company who made those action figures and storyline completely messed up the storyline in order to simply make even more money out of greed. Now I have my own chance at a completely new storyline, only this time the heroes are five robotic hot chicks instead, which is totally awesome in itself. An idea I had in mind for this story was that there would be these five diamond shaped crystals in matching colors to each of the five Gynoids. Not really knowing what story to give to that, I still bought three large glass diamond shaped crystals for Cyrah, Sheera, and Almea while having ordered a red and a purple one for Roxena and Zenia, though I'm not sure if the manufacturer had these colors. Sharing my idea for this story at the RPF forum, a member said he liked the white face of Zenia the most and thought she looked most like she could be the leader, then it actually struck me that that would actually be a good idea since she is absolutely huge in comparison to the other Gynoids while being the most advanced one too with glowing lights all over her body, making it actually seem strange to have this large being in the background as one of the regular team-members with Cyrah as the leader. Cyrah's elemental power is creating life in form of artificial plants and such while her weapon is a glowing power staff that she beats the crap out of enemies with while Zenia's elemental power is light with her weapons being lasers shooting out of the palm of her hands, so it seems most likely that Zenia is in fact the leader even though Cyrah was the first one I built. Whatever else I will make up for this story, I have no idea, but it will come in time. With the new pole across the roof of my apartment's bedroom, I now have a great place to hang up my costumes. I also bought a neat new lamp with four spotlights on it, pointing towards my computer desk, my bed, the floor of the bedroom, and the shelf by the window, so things are actually pretty darn good at the moment with even better ways and tools to create things with, so I foresee all my projects and costumes will be completed in a much faster rate than before until they are all soon completed, then I can move on to more important things such as inventing a non-poluting engine that runs for free and will save the planet or at least some other tiny thing that no one thought of making yet. I also got the time to start drawing again, this time with a high interest in drawing humans and faces, having drawn a few so far. I wanted to try drawing people in a photorealistic style to see if I really can do that or not, and my first ex-girlfriend allowed me to draw one of her photos that I thought looks really beautiful. Today I bought two sets of high-end pencils for just those type of drawings, one set having colored pencils and the other one having standard black ones. We had quite a few arguements recently over stupid things on my end, mostly caused by me becoming sick and completely loopy from this and yelling at basically everyone around me, so I screwed things up a bit and lost my chance to date my first ex-girlfriend in November since she had planned to come to my place again after the great time we had the last time. Now we have agreed that she is far too busy and is in a different place than me for us to date, so I will continue looking for someone new again other than her, although she really is the most special girl I have ever met. I used to believe in all that psychic crap those evil, demented women used to tell me, but now I have no idea anymore what to expect or what will happen. Presumably I will find a new girlfriend who's name will start with R and will have something to do with the number 12. I hoped this was my first ex-girlfriend since her nickname is Rouge and her birthday is on the 12th, but it seems to be some other girl instead now, being an Asian girl with nice tan skin, black hair, pretty eyes and lips, and from what I've heard will also be interested in costumes, hopefully ones from Star Wars too. All I can say is that I hope this is true since most of my favorite female video game characters are all hot Asian chicks too.

Having finished watching what I had available of the Star Wars animated series called The Clone Wars on Halloween day, I continued watching the rest of the movies by one each day until today when I watched the last movie in the series. I had not watched any of the Star Wars movies for years since I wanted to start out fresh with the blu-ray release after having seen the movies so many times before in segments and out of order just to study costumes and such things, so they had become more like just simple movies rather than real events happening on screen as movies should feel like when you watch them. Having finally watched them all these years later, I really did get that fresh movie feeling as if everything was really happening, and with the three seasons of The Clone Wars I had in between the second and third movie, that really affected the whole way I looked at them too, having seen more adventures by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Also this time since it seemed so new and real, my mind really got to connect all the movies like never before, thinking in the correct order of events like when seeing Luke as an adult, I thought "that was the boy Padmé gave birth to before she died and Obi-Wan delivered to his aunt and unkle on Tatooine" instead of thinking "Hey look, that's Luke right after he was born" when seeing that scene in the third movie. I see the second trilogy of movies more like they are the aftermath of whatever happened in the first trilogy, rather than the first trilogy being something else building up to the second trilogy. Whatever bad things happened in the first trilogy such as Palpatine taking over the Republic and turning that into the Galactic Empire, Darth Vader getting burnt and put into his protective survival suit, the creation of the Clone Troopers that eventually became the Stormtroopers, the creation of the Death Star, and all the other bad things, all of these things are what you see in the second trilogy. That really amuses me a lot too since the second trilogy that was actually made first from the 1970's to the 1980's and didn't have any so called prequels until 1999 and beyond, then people just complained that this new trilogy called the prequel trilogy was so bad and didn't have anything to do with Star Wars, but now ironically everything has changed with the release of all the movies, and the original trilogy has actually become like the prequel trilogy rather than the prequel trilogy becoming like the original trilogy. That is what I really mean. Also note that a series of six movies is called one movie with six sequels, not three prequels and three sequels, that just sounds stupid. Also the original is usually the first movie, so calling one trilogy the original when this contains the episodes 4 to 6 just sounds confusing too. This is why I have decided to start the trend with calling the trilogies the first trilogy I-III and the second trilogy IV-VI, or in any other case the complete saga as that is how it is supposed to be watched! So get over your middle-aged self who don't like the obviously good first trilogy because it doesn't make you feel like a kid like the second trilogy does. That's why you need to do as I did, stop watching the movies for year and watch them all again in the correct series! It really was a most awesome experience.

Up until now, I've been at several meetings held by the local stone museum about the annual Halloween event that they have started arranging each year, though I didn't really contribute with any other ideas that me wandering around in my Xanador Nekrid costume again, scaring off the kids and showing them which way to go and such. On the day before, most of the people involved with this event drove up to the mines where it would all take place, there we were told that one of the air shafts of the lower mine had collapsed, pouring rocks and other sediments all over the entrance of the lower mine, leaving quite a crater by the higher mine that had to be sealed off for the event, so this year the lower mine was closed, rearranging the path through the mines quite a lot. Ever since I made up the character Xanador Nekrid all those years ago, I had one costume in particular in mind, looking like a blue, long version of the red jacket worn by Michael Jackson in his music video "Thriller", so this year I wanted to finally make that jacket from an old blue leather jacket I had bought just for that purpose many years ago. The jacket itself turned out looking great, only half the jacket was missing from the waist down. I was supposed to color some light tan leather with a blue wax color I had bought earlier for this jacket, but the colors just didn't match, then I started experimenting with various blue and green markers and even bought several more expensive markers that still didn't make the color match. With Halloween right around the corner, all of a sudden a large flea market took place nearby, so I came along with my parents to this place where I luckily found an old blue leather chair for only 50 NOK that very much matched the color of the jacket. I also got to stay there long enough for the "bag sale" to begin, then I filled a whole bag full of clothes made of various neat fabrics that I can make other things from, and I even grabbed a black leather jacket into the bag as well, something that might come in handy for either my Darth Vader costume or my Alien costume. Later when returning home, I decided to peal apart the old chair at my parents house instead so they could easily discard of the rest later on instead of me dragging the whole thing to my apartment. Later when all of the real leather and pleather was isolated, I colored the blue leather a bit darker with black shoe polish until the color matched well enough with the jacket, then the whole thing was completed shortly after at last. And so Halloween was here, and I was preparing my makeup and costume at my parents house before being driven up to the mines where I was told I was free to do what I wanted to in there. At the entrance, we were told that a news team from the main national TV station called NRK was filming around in the mines, so I grabbed a helmet and walked into the middle of the mines and hoped that they would film me too. I removed the helmet of course and started sneaking around in the mines, probably even freaking out the people who were also there to scare the kids. That's what I love about this costume, it doesn't even look like me when I'm wearing all that makeup and the veneers in my mouth that somewhat alter my face, and all the people whoever they are think I look completely insane and scary like a nightmare. Even having a soar throat gave me an even darker, scarier voice than usual with a growly breathing sound, so that added a lot to it too. Eventually the kids and their parents arrived, and I had to show them the way down the stairs even though I was not supposed to point out the way this year, but since the lower mine had collapsed at the entrance, this years path involved the people walking in the upper mine's entrance, down the middle stairs, around some tunnels, back up the stairs and into the meeting hall next to the stairs that I had to keep them away from unless they had come back up the stairs. Not much of an interesting path this year, but the kids thought I was scary as hell and started screaming and running when they saw me. I didn't really say or do much though since I was not feeling too well and was still sick from before, but I'd say I scared them well enough even so just by looking like I did. Apart from me, there were people jumping up from crates, jumping out from holes and from behind poles, plus ghosts, spiders, skeletons, witches, bats, and even a grave yard that I had helped put up the day before. The TV crew that was there had filmed many of these things, then all of a sudden they came over to me and filmed my scary face and costume for quite some time, so I was hoping they would use that footage later and was almost counting on it since I was something pretty darn out of the usual standing in there. After sneaking around the cave tunnels some more and scaring kids for a while, I decided to start taking some photos of everything and my own costume in the mines before the whole thing ended, then in the end I got a bag of candy and was pretty much pleased that I got to wear this costume this year after having planned that blue jacket for years already. Walking out of the mines, I wandered around at the camp-fires they had set up everywhere and even scared a few kids there too, then I got back to my parents house after that to see if I would be on TV or not, and sure enough I was featured in both the local news program and the national news program on the same night, making it the second time I've been on TV wearing a costume. Before taking the costume off again, I asked my mother if she could take some photos of me in the forest right outside their house now that I was wearing it in the first place after having planned that costume for many years, then a few different photos were taken of me, sitting on the ground looking insane and leaning against trees and such. This was a good day to be Xanador Nekrid indeed.

I have known for many years now what my future wife will look like. When life became bad for years and I ran out of options, I had no hope for my own future what so ever, so I searched for answers in strange and unnatural ways that have only seemed to get me right into more pain instead of taking me away from it. Whatever pointless information I was handed out involved around movie scenes from movies that were years from being made, and now having been released, I don't see any purpose or signs what so ever in these scenes or any of the video games I was shown years before their release either, so possibly they mean absolutely nothing to me, or I'm simply too stupid or nearsighted to see the message. What was the purpose of seeing one of my ex-girlfriend's house before I met her when I now hate the very thought of her? Did all that happen just so I would make the Dracula costume I have that she sparked off the creation of? Even that costume was already known to me through the same way before I even saw the movie it was from. The most pointless feature was getting to know the first letter of my next girlfriend's name and a number associated with her. Though my first ex-girlfriend was special to me, these answers came after the time when we had to break up due to a distance between us that neither of us could travel at that time. Next I got to know of the letter I and the number 9, resulting in me scaring off a girl I once liked who had such a name by telling her about it, then it turned out it was my other ex-girlfriend Iris instead who I got together with on the 9th. That was a horrible relationship because of the kind of person she was, and I really can't stand her anymore. Next I learned about the letter A and the number 5 who of course was my other ex-girlfriend Andrea Katerin who I actually had a good time with and improved much upon my pre-state of having been sick for years thanks to her, but unfortunately she was very sick at that time because of medications and all such things, so we had many problems with our relationship because of that and the long distance between us. I really did hate the very thought of her for a long time, but recent events made me realize that I actually missed her and wanted to talk to her again for answers now that I have had problems with my first ex-girlfriend who I was actually hoping for was my soulmate who I have been searching for for such a long time now. This apartment was one of the things I was shown a whole many years ago, down to the very details of shape and color of every part of it, so it is no doubt that first place of mine that I was shown so long ago is this very place. My future girlfriend and wife was also in this apartment while having both straight and curly hair, exactly like my first ex-girlfriend had when we had such a good time together here. Her face and body-type looks exactly the same also, and the fact that I loved her made me realize that it just might have been my first ex-girlfriend all along when I've always thought of her as the most beautiful and special girl I have ever met and have also always felt as if she belonged to me, even getting jealous at her being with other guys when I was even with other girls. Now that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I was showed the letter R and the number 12 this time, having looked for a girl with such a name for a long time, then I remembered that I've actually also seen both the letters A and K with that number, fearing that this meant I would get back together with my ex-girlfriend Andrea Katerin who I then hated. My first ex-girlfriend's name also has these initials with her birthday actually being on the 12th too. Her nickname starts with R for whatever that is worth, but still I was once shown the letter M and the number 20 that turned out to be just some random friend of mine who I did somewhat like once, but that still didn't mean anything. After that I learned about S and 26 that turned out to be just a pointlessly short relationship with no emotions for one and other. Sure my first ex-girlfriend loved me too and wanted to try out for a future with me, but then the information about my future girlfriend's hair came out after hearing that she was actually planning on getting highlights in her hair herself, which made me think even more that she really was who I was supposed to be with, but the information just made her not want highlights anymore, something that surprised me since I already told her that would mean we would have a great life together if it turned out she really was that girl I had foreseen. Eventually this whole thing turned into a full arguement with her thinking I wanted to change her because she was not good enough for me, but that was not even true, I wanted her to be that girl I had foreseen because she really was good enough for me and ever better than what I had hoped for. If my future girlfriend looks like that and that fact is imprinted in the future, then that can only mean it is not her if she doesn't even get any highlights, and that is why I so desperately wanted her to change her mind so we could have a good future together, but she just didn't get my whole point. Later she decided to just stop trying instead of doing that one thing for me, and that just hurt like hell. She kept on saying she wasn't good enough for me and that I should have loved her the way she was, but the way I saw it, it meant I was not good enough for her to do something like that for, knowing that would mean we'd belong together. There was absolutely no reasoning with her and she just hurt me, so I told her today that I didn't want to speak with her anymore. Still I found the profile of a girl yesterday who's hair actually looked just the same as in my drawing, only the red highlights were mirrored with three on her right side and two on her left, whatever that means. Still I have no idea what will happen right now. For all I know I might have just pushed away the most special girl I know only to end up with the girl I foresaw who might not even be such a good person in comparison to my first ex-girlfriend. As pointless as it always was to know only the first letter of my next girlfriend's name, she was the closest I've come to finding someone related to A, K, R, and the number 12, and as if that wasn't enough, I saw her exact full name spelled out one letter at a time the same way I could only see one letter before. That has never happened before, and that should in theory mean she would definately become my next girlfriend and would be even more important than that because of the way the name was shown. Does that mean she really is my future wife, or was her name the first to be shown that way just because it would all end between us? I just don't know anymore. No matter how mad we are at each other, I still hope that one day she sees that this whole arguement only meant I loved her so much I wanted her to be my foreseen wife and that she will return looking like that as a symbol that she really does love me back and we would have that good life together after all. She really is the most beautiful and special girl I've known, and I'd do anything to make her happy. I still love her so much, but I doubt anything like that will ever happen now, and that just hurts me even more.

Now that me and my first ex-girlfriend connected on such high level the last time she was here even though we didn't even anticipate it, I just didn't want to stay in my apartment alone anymore, so I tried to do some other work at my parents house instead. Not only did the lack of her make the apartment more unbarable, but I've always hated white painted walls, especially old and croocked, white painted walls, so now that my one and only costume placement cabinet has become full of mold from a dripping pipe in there, I could just barely handle it anymore and searched for other apartments with the result showing an even larger and cheaper apartment in the town right next to where I live now where there is also a full floor to ceiling length wardrobe for all my costumes among other things such as a larger kitchen and so forth. The only problem now was that it seems it would only be out for renting for four years, which is a chance I just can't take right now as I need to live in this are because of something something in relations to myself having been to sick to work for years and have to get money elsewhere somehow somehow. Still I came along my parents on a trip on last Saturday where we looked at the house in question where the aparment was out for rent in, then later we went to the large electronics store where my friend Lassor works to exchange my faulty blu-ray player that stopped working properly when me and my ex-girlfriend wanted to watch movies together. Fortunately I could still exchange it for a new better player from the same brand with even 3D playback. Of course bying from the same brand is a bad idea since that is the brand that the last malfunctioning player came from, but I'd rather have this brand as my TV has the same brand and therefore works with the same remote control. We also asked about my laundromat that of course also doesn't work and in fact didn't even work once to wash anything, but the only help I got for that was a telephone number I need to call to get someone to fix it, which I am yet to do since I've been busy sewing my new Halloween costume for the character Xanador Nekrid that will look almost like a blue and long version of the jacket worn by Michael Jackson in the music video "Thriller", so that will be cool once that is done, only I've bought a bunch of makers so far to color more leather to the same blue hue, which I just can't seem to get right. Later that Saturday we drove to a mall nearby where for some reason I found a set of the five previously unavailable "Calculus" series Hexbug Nano robots and didn't quite understand why they were for sale here in Norway, but still I bought them just for the fun of having bought them in a store in Norway, though it did cost maybe a bit more than having ordered them online. The later trip to a flower and plant store was most amusing to me with Halloween stuff and carved pumpkins all over where one of them looked like an actual butt. Later when I came home, I realized that since I had recently been watching the first season of the series The Clone Wars, the third disc of this series was most likely still in the tray of the faulty blu-ray player that I just traded in, so fortunately for me my friend Lassor was still working there at that hour and could fish out the missing disc for me. Later we planned that I should ride my Vespa over to him for the weekend to pick up that disc and do other stuff of high levels of craziness. Now that my ex-girlfriend had returned home, I felt like crap without anything helping, and it was only making my health and state as bad as it used to be for all those years not long ago, so I didn't really know what to do about that anymore. Later when talking to her, I said I needed a break to sort things out and to stop thinking about her, so I told her not to contact me until I was ready for that again. This didn't help much either, but my first ex-girlfriend is a very special person to me who I've always loved and thought was very beautiful, and the only reason why we broke up was because we lived too far away for anything to work, so of course I wasn't sure anymore who I was supposed to be with now that we've connected in such a way again. Earlier I've known by a strange way who would be my next girlfriend by getting to know the first letter of their names and a number assosiated with this person and have found all my previous girlfriends this way. Still I don't really get the point of this when I might as well have just gotten to know their full name and that it would not have lasted instead or in any other case have gotten to know who I was meant to be with in the end instead, something that I used to know only by images of her, such as her being a dark skinned person with long black hair, one having five red highlights in her hair too where two of them were on the right side of her head, and that's been my way of looking for her ever since. A bad mistake was once to tell my previous girlfriend about this, resulting in her trying to replicate this hairstyle all wrong just to prove to me that she was the right one, but of course that did not happen since she became totally insane and betrayed me several times. Now I have gone after finding someone by the letter R and the number 12 while not having found someone with such name for quite a long time of searching, but now that I look back at things, I do believe I also saw the letters A and K with the number 12 and thought "Oh fuck!" because of my insane ex-girlfriend's name matching these letters, but as a matter of fact my first ex-girlfriend who I now love also has such a name, only I am not sure where the letter R comes into all of that, but still her nickname starts with an R and I was also supposed to find an M 20 girl who I have also found for no reason I can see what so ever, so I don't know, I just don't know. The day after on the last Sunday, my parents called me to ask if I wanted to come along to a large flea market that I have gone to many times before, so I thought that would be a good thing to do since I need to find more blue leather and have something to do to not think more about my first ex-girlfriend. After walking around for a while, I found an old blue leather chair that almost matched the color of the jacket's leather, but I wasn't sure if it was worth bying if it was expensive, but then one of the guys who worked there said the price of 50 NOK for the whole thing which is really cheap and made me buy the whole thing. Later I found a nice black leather jacket that I could perhaps use for a costuming project such as my Darth Vader costume, only it cost 30 NOK at that time, so I wondered if I should just buy the thing right then or wait for the "bag sale" that occurs later on when you can stuff a whole bag full of clothes for 50 NOK, but fortunately for me the "bag sale" started shortly after, giving me not only the leather jacket, but some other neat shirts and shiny fabrics too for my other projects. I pealed the whole chair apart at my parents house and brought the leather back up with me, there I brushed it in with black shoe polish to the result where it pretty much matched the other leather it was supposed to match, so I continued sewing the jacket which could now become even longer because of the large size of each leather piece from the chair. Friday came and I started preparing my long Vespa trip over to Lassor's place by making some freshly ground coffee that I tried unsuccessfully to filter through a bunch of paper filters that either just tore apart or spilled the coffee out all over the place. A long while later when the coffee was done-ish and somewhat cold, I drank it to a somewhat relief and started my long and cold journey. It was really cold that day, so I decided to stop at a mall for a while to shake the cold of, but that didn't really help either since I was so damn cold from the ride, so I just continued further. Realizing I would arrive at Lassor's place before he returned from work, I decided to just drive over to his work place instead where we later met and I finally got to buy the complete series collector's box of all nine seasons of the TV series called "Scrubs". We were contemplating about him sitting on my Vespa's passenger seat so we could both ride back to his home, but we both thought it was probably not legal and therefore a bad idea, so he took the bus after giving me the keys to his apartment. He arrived shortly after I got there, then we just went on doing whatever we usually do there such as watching movies and talking complete nonsense. We also played chess and made music. Next day was more productive when we decided to see a record store in Oslo where they were selling new and old music on LPs since we are both now interested in music on LPs instead of CDs. At least he found some records he wanted, but I only found one album I maybe wanted while not really knowing what it was about, so I didn't buy anything there. Still we went to see both the Outland stores which are my favorite stores, there we bought some "Plutonium" powdered and caffeinated candy stuff among other tubes of false radio-active goo and some other Japanese soda stuff and whatever else a nerd would want. Another successful trip to Oslo now that I have calmed down completely about being there thanks to my lovely ex-girlfriend who even later sent me a text message to ask if we were both OK with one and other, and so we were to both our relief. The rest of the day was spent on screwing around with my new cotton candy machine that I had also bought in Oslo after having wanted one for a long time. We figured out how to use it eventually, but his whole place got all sugared up shortly after. Today I decided to travel home earlier since the trip was somewhat long and cold and I had much stuff to do back at home, so I got to pack most of my new stuff onto the Vespa, except for his old mailbox that I got from him since my current one looks like complete crap, and this one is even black for further awesomeness. Later when coming home, I talked to one of the women who claimed before they could "see" my future girlfriend as a tall and skinny Asian girl who liked costumes and was wearing many things that I had made for her, and now that I asked her about these things, she said she did not actually see those things and was only hoping for that or whatever the hell she was on about, so damn me for believing this woman before to my own up-fuckedness now that I've probably lost my chance with the most special girl I know just for believing I would end up with some cosplaying Asian chick. Whatever I saw before of my future girlfriend and wife was not such a girl. Before I was told this future girlfriend would have a costume of the character Faith Connors and a few other Asian video game chicks that I like, but now that I already love my first ex-girlfriend again, I wanted to see once and for all of these other video game characters really were that important for anything. In the end I realized that Faith Connors is just a murdering speedy lunatic with tattoos who is not anything to like at all, so I didn't give a rats ass about those costumes anymore for any future girlfriend that I now learned from that confusing and lying woman that I would never meat anyway, so now I'm all for whatever I saw myself before, which is actually damn close to my first ex-girlfriend, only she had those five red highlights in her hair as a good indicator that I've found the right one, so now instead of trying to figure out who this mysterious future girl is, I have decided to instead try to figure out if my first ex-girlfriend actually is this person. Now that things are fine between us again, we have talked things over and have planned on dating next month when she will try to stay even longer than before. I will now make a drawing of the hairstyle I saw just as proof later on if she or anyone else I would end up with looks like that.

My website was suddenly gone one day, and that made me completely pissed off at the people who host it since I had no clue what so ever what was going on, so I asked in their forum in a swearful way what the hell was going on and asked if some asshole had deleted my website or something. Ultimately that made them ban me from their forum, but later they realized my website's server had crashed and fixed it shortly after that, so my website was back. I logged into their forum to appologize for the things I've said to them now and before, and that only resulted in that account being banned forever because of the one account per person rule that I didn't even know about, but that doesn't matter now. The Star Wars blu-ray boxset that I've been waiting for for probably three years was released on the 12th, but as fate would have it, my bank account was nearly empty at the time my pre-ordered box would get automatically paid for before the shipping, so the box was delayed a few days after I drove my Vespa down to the nearest bank to get some money into my account. Now I still haven't received that damn box, and I could have bought it myself the 12th if I hadn't pre-ordered it about a year ago before I even knew anything about the box. Still I will get some exclusive film-cells with this boxset since I pre-ordered it, so it can't be that bad. I was going to start up my new laundry machine after being shown how to do that since it was so damn important apparently for someone to show me how about a damn year after I got the machine when I could have worked it out myself long ago, and now the first time I was going to use the damn thing, it doesn't even work! Piece of crap could have been fixed long ago, but of course I had to wait for that damn magical day when someone would have to show me how to use it even though I could have used it myself, for facker's sake. Sure enough last Saturday was good enough at the big market at Ekeberg. I wanted to get some new Queen records there, and sure enough I got just the two I was looking for plus four more by them, including many other records with good 1980's music on them. Still the pile of records I found was somewhat expensive, and I didn't even find that bandolier for my Jawa display costume even though I saw the correct one there a few years back, but of course now that I need it, I can't even find the damn thing. Worst of all there would be a really cool event in Oslo again that I missed because of this market, but at least I got some new music to listen to. The guy who's downstairs apartment I rent needed to shut off the water line from within a cabinet in my apartment, so I had to clear out that cabinet since it is stuffed with all my costumes, and sure enough as a knee in the balls, the whole damn floor and walls of the cabinet was full of mold along with mold on basically all my costume clothes, so that really pissed me off right there. Now I just want to move away from this whitewalled scewed and lopside-built place to a bigger place with actual room for my costumes that won't for bamboo's sake not mold away! I'm even concidering moving in to a place with my friend Lassor so we could split the rent to make it even cheaper as he once suggested. Today I had to get all the bags of unfinished costumes and all the other moldy costumes down to the house where I used to live, and that was damn well not where I need to keep that stuff right now, then I'll never get any of that crap done! At least I got the Auryn painted ready after having it unfinished in my cabinet for probably two years now that my first ex-girlfriend will come over tomorrow, and she really loves the movie The Neverending Story, that's even the movie that's the reason why we met in the first place, so we will most likely watch it. To top off all this crap, many segments of LEDs in my blue lightsaber have stopped working! I'll try to fix it soon, but damn I'm so farking annoyed about crap that doesn't work anymore and not getting that Star Wars blu-ray box I should have received long ago.

I started working on the Nothosaurus model a few days ago after finding all the resin for it again. It was only put away in a small building to which I had no key. The expansion foam can I had left was all clogged, so I spent about half an hour trying to clean out the outlet tube, and then it blew out and never stopped. Having to bend over the outlet tube to stop the flow of expansion foam, I got to cover at least half the back of the Nothosaurus model before the can was depleted, so I'm gonna have to buy some new cans soon. Today I took the train over to a store that sells mannequins and all sorts of display stuff since that store is usually closed in the weekends. I had bought a calf rod for the Gynoid Zenia since it is not possible to display it with a foot rod when there is a joint in the ankle later on, but this calf rod did not fit onto the glass plate that came with the mannequin I built into Zenia, so I wanted to buy a new glass plate there today that would fit with this calf rod. This way I would also get another spare glass plate for the Gynoid Cyrah when the mannequin I built into Cyrah only came with an old rusty metal plate. The new glass plate was a whole damn lot more expensive than I had hoped at around 800 NOK. I also bought some nice and shiny gold fabric now that I have finally decided to just go for it and build a fifth Gynoid named Almea after having found some really cheap mannequins for sale for only 400 NOK each, which is damn cheap in comparison to the other mannequins I bought and the usual new price of 8000 NOK. The woman who had put the mannequins out for sale told me of several malls where I could buy one, so the trip went on to the closest mall where there were four mannequins left to choose from, though they were actually two different models in different colors. A most interesting face that I have actually wanted to sculpt for a long time is the face of Lara Croft from the video game Tomb Raider - Legend since this is the most interesting looking face of all the previous and present game models of that game series, but I never really had a Gynoid project that would fit with that face until I decided to try giving Almea that face. Strangely enough it was a hard decision between the two mannequin models when one of them actually looked like that game model and the other one looked more like a cute Asian girl, so I stood there for a while and tried to imagine both of them with all the golden hair and parts that Almea would have, then I just remembered my whole decision to make it look like Lara Croft, so there you go, problem solved. Then again this mannequin looks so much like that game model that I should have made it into a lifesize statue of her instead, but I'm not going to. Or maybe I should buy the other one for that, hah. The arms of this mannequin was in an annoying hip holding position that would require a lot of modifications, but the woman in the store didn't let me change them with the arms of the other mannequins that were more straight, so I guess I'll just have to deal with it or in any other case leave them that way to make the pose look more interesting. The mannequin was put in black garbage bags, and fortunately the mall exit was right around the corner. Later the trip went to Ikea where I wanted to buy five more storage crates for my living room shelves, another DVD shelf, and six book stands for my book shelf to fix up the place before one of my ex girlfriends comes over this month. Good thing this is the only ex girlfriend I actually like and don't want dead. A most successful day with the small exeption of not fixing a fake potato for the potatoed version of GLaDOS, so I'll probably end up making the whole thing instead.

Last Friday I finally finished the Gynoid named Cyrah, again, for the third or fourth time, but this time I hope it to be final, but I'm not sure. So far I wanted Cyrah to look as good as the other Gynoids with her own color scheme of green, and I think I got that right this time with green hair and a new updated face that looks better and younger, even updated boobs and a posture that looks better than before. I didn't bother making any new green clothes for her right away, but today I actually found two lime green fabric bags that would be perfect for those since they have the exact same color as her lime green highlights as seen in the photo. Sure enough I think I will also make a fifth Gynoid anyway in gold color since I have now found some cheap mannequins for only 400 NOK each, which is the cheapest I've ever seen being sold in Norway, so I might just buy one of those later to build the golden Gynoid named Almea. People will probably think I'll just build more and more, but really there's nothing more to build now except for either pink, transparent, or wood, and I sure as hell don't want to make any of those. Five is the perfect number for these, and with that many in their own looks and color schemes, I have now planned to make my own story for these things since they now remind me of a robot toy line I used to collect when I was younger where there were these hero robots with their own colors corresponding to their own elemental powers, such as Cyrah would be the Gynoid of life, Sheera would be the Gynoid of water, Roxena would be the Gynoid of fire, Zenia would be the Gynoid of light, and ultimately when I have built a fifth and final one, this golden Gynoid named Almea will be the Gynoid of power. Sounds pretty cool already, but still I have to make up my own mystical word for what these things should be instead of using the word Gynoid, but it will all come in time. Zenia being still under construction, I decided to finally start building on the Nothosaurus model again to finish that off before winter arrives since I can finish Zenia indoors anyway. After having done some minor things yesterday, I wanted to look in the basement of the museum today to find the resin and filler foam I had bought for the Nothosaurus model, but I couldn't find it anywhere at all after someone had thrown away many of the things that were previously in the basement to make room for some sort of wooden boards that were being painted black, so possibly someone had thrown away the whole damn bag of resin before I could use it. If that is the case, then I won't bother spending lots of money to buy new stuff for this that I might not get to use before winter arrives anyway, so I'll just finish building Zenia instead and buy a mannequin to build Almea out of after that. I'll have to ask the museums director tomorrow what happened to all the resin. Today I also told about this dinosaur model in a meeting where we talked about my future plans of creating my own robotics company, and basically what was figured out was that it would be best for me to start out with small robot kits that I could sell as hobby based items, then if that succeeds, I will go on to some larger robot kits, and if that succeeds, I will go up to personal and domestic robots, ultimately and hopefully ending up in the level where I can re-create my absolute favorite robot named Modulus after purchasing the design rights for it. Still I will most likely have to work with something else in the meanwhile, but not having any papers to show any companies for employment, all I've got to show are my creations so far, which is also why finishing such a huge dinosaur model that will be displayed in a museum is very important to me, because that is some serious shit right there. Yesterday I also bought the five Hexbug Nano sets that I was currently missing, so I'll get those in the mail soon too hopefully. I've also decided to keep some of the tracks for display instead of having all the loose parts in a box. As for some other news, it seems my first ex-girlfriend is coming over to my new place next month, which is also the same month when the Star Wars saga will come as a blu-ray boxset that I very much look forward to getting in the mail after having pre-ordered it, so both these things should be pretty cool, maybe we will even watch a few of the movies together since she is the only ex-girlfriend I don't want dead and wouldn't mind watching these movies with even though I was planning on staring close at the screen with these movies on myself.

I finished the lifesize Little Sister statue from BioShock 2 a few days ago, and so far the response to it was good in the builder's forum. After a whole lot of cutting, sewing, coloring, sewing wrong, cutting open stitches, cutting shapes wrong, cutting shapes right, sewing right, and weathering, the purple dress for the Little Sister was finally completed yesterday. I was wondering if I should make several dresses for this statue in various colors to make it look like different Little Sisters, but now after finishing that dress, I have come to the conclution that there is no chance in hell I would want to make a damn dress like that ever again and that it would most likely look like a bunch of clones in different dresses anyway, so I will let this idea go and flush it down the toilet. Today I bought a really nice shelf for my bedroom that will eventually store the rest of the stuff I have laying around, plus it is cut in such a strange way that I can store the other two smaller Modulus robots I had standing on the floor before in these strangely cut out shelf areas or what one should call them. Later today we met up with my sister who hadn't slept for days because of her kids were up sick and crying for two nights in a row, so a trip to a farm and petting zoo full of fluffy goats and such was the plan to make them tired enough to shut the hell up the upcoming night. As usual I really like all the animals there and pet them a whole lot while jumping around and climbing on everything I come across that can be jumped over or climbed upon. Baah. I also learned that the vacation time in Italy is still ongoing, so I'll just have to wait longer for the owner of the Modulus robot to respond. At least he said he could sell it to me the last time, so I'm holding on a big "Qaplá!" shouting and a victory cigar. Not that I'll smoke anything anyway. Of course after building four gynoids and therefore getting a whole lot of gold colored fabric, beads, wires, thread, and so forth left over from these projects would I get the crazy idea of making another one in this shiny color of gold, but I had decided to only build this if I either found a base mannequin in the junk or at least got one for free somehow, but now I want to make this golden Gynoid so much that I today searched and found an Internet auction for a mannequin that could work quite good for this for a very low price, so one must ponder this.

Today I came along on a trip to a place called Strømstad in Sweden. My goal of the day was to find a soft-air gun version of the revolver named Python by Colt since I need it for my Gordon Freeman costume. Sure enough such a thing is not the best to purchace at the moment after the bombing and shootout in Norway last Friday, but at least a soft-air weapon can only shoot small plastic pellets that can't even hurt a squirrel. People had also put down flowers and Norwegian flags in this city because of what happened, so that was nice of them. Not finding a single store that sold soft-air guns, I walked into a toy store where I found at least some but not the right one. Even better was that I found the last of the robot creatures by WowWee that I needed called RoboReptile, and so I bought it to finally complete my RoboCreature collection, excluding that weird looking RoboPanda that was pulled back from production anyway. After we were done walking around in that city, we drove to another mall in Sweden where I already knew they were selling a replica of the Colt Python, only it is painted black with the old version of the grip. I asked the guy behind the counter if I could look at it, and sure enough the whole thing was made of metal that could probably be brushed to a shiny silver finish like what I need, so at least I have a backup choice in case I don't find the soft-air revolver by Cybergun. They were also selling cheap full metal replica hand-grenades of the same kind that Gordon Freeman also used in the video game Half-Life, so I bought one of those for my Gordon Freeman costume. Later when trying to find a Portal cake platter, all the lights went off in half the mall for quite some time, so that was actually the third time I've been in a completely dark mall without electricity. After the power came back, some groceries and candy was bought before heading back to Norway.

2011-07-22T14:25:00.000-07:00

Today I woke up to a text message on my cellphone saying that my Vespa was finished at the cervice center and that I could drive it home next Monday. On the Internet this morning, one of my old class mates had written about a bombing somewhere that shook her up even if she did not get hurt, but I thought she was on a vacation somewhere else far from here. After my parents got back from driving my grandmother around to where ever she was supposed to go, I was told there had been a bombing in Oslo not long ago. The bomb had gone off at a government building right next to where I was at the Desucon convention only a few weeks ago, so that was a damn weird thought along with the thought that something like that could happen here in this country. I came along on a trip to a mall where I found a very small cake mold for the Portal cake I wanted to make soon just for fun, then I bought some cool color changing fabric for the Gynoid Zenia and some other stuff for my apartment that I needed. People were of course talking about the bombing and watched the news on TVs that were in the mall, and naturally everyone thought it was strange that something like that would happen here and probably thought that a group of terrorists were behind it. When we drove back home, suddenly news came on the radio that some crazy person had killed 4 people on an island camp somewhere, and I thought that was pretty fucked up right there with these two sick events happening on the same day. After I came home, the number of dead by the camp shooting were up to 10, but then a vitness told on TV that there were at least 30 dead so far at the island camp. They even showed footage of the dead people floating in the water, and that was even more fucked up right there. Later some people were talking about this event on the Internet where I saw a woman told the number of dead people were now above 80, and I didn't even believe it at all since someone said 10 again after I didn't believe there were as many as 30 dead either, but the news stated this as well that the number so far was above 80 dead, and that's as fucked up as something can fuck itself up right there. The bombing in Oslo that killed 7 people and most likely more was caused by an evil crazy person who had made bombs out of synthetic manure and some other crap just as a diversion to go to that island where he tricked the people into believing he was a police officer and then started shooting at everyone around him. It's not even possible to describe how fucked up this is all right here without using the word fuck.

2011-07-06T18:42:00.000-07:00

The weekend over at Desucon went really well, and I felt a lot better after having been there, hoping that that would last at least some while. Now things seem to suck a bit more than back then, and I don't know if it's just my bad Karma from the past or just plain bad luck. First the remaking of the Gynoid Cyrah took a bad turn after spraying it with clear coat, resulting in most of the black and silver colored facial markings that I had drawn for several days to run down the clear coat like piss on a wall. Being somewhat angry and annoyed by this, I thought I might as well run through all my unseen horror films now that I was in a bad mood already and could watch all the other action films and comedy films later on to get the mood all better again. Needing a better silver marker to fix the paintjob on Cyrah's face, I drove my new Vespa scooter to a town nearby with two malls in it, but of course on the way the traffic was completely jammed for some time with myself on a little Vespa in front of a huge truck. Thankfully the jam was caused by road construction only and not an accident, nor did I get squeezed by the truck either. And then I came to the malls, only to see all the lights were gone, thinking for a second that they were about to close, but in fact the power had gone from both malls a while ago. No one could buy anything or see anything either. I was just about to drive to the next town until I heard the stores there were probably closed anyway, so I had to walk around the town and wait for the power to come back. A grocery store in the town still had some power for some reason, so I bought some food and drink that I consumed while sitting on my Vespa. Walking around the dark malls some more just for the fun of walking around in dark malls, the power came back after maybe an hour, then I bought a few books that I wanted and a few thin black and silver markers for Cyrah's facial markings. Seeing as the new Cyrah will look twice as shiny and updated, I decided to buy a really reflective chrome fabric for her new clothes. I wanted to take a shortcut back home to avoid the traffic jam again, so I drove down a road I thought would only take me next to the town and home instead of through it, but as it turned out, I got completely lost and didn't even know where I was heading or where I was. Still it was quite nice though with lots of mountains and oceans, and even huge fantasy looking forests as far as the eye could see. Coming home from that unnecessarily long shortcut, I had to repaint Cyrah's face and apply the new silver marker to where I had applied the old one before, then I clear coated it only to see yet again how the markers ran down the face like piss on a wall. That pissed me off enough to watch more horror movies at night. Later I just thought to hell with it and applied an even shinier aluminum foil on Cyrah's face instead of using the silver marker, and that worked pretty well actually. While waiting for Cyrah's paintjob to dry, I decided to fix the scratches on my Vespa's luggage box, so I filled them with bondo, sanded that flat, painted it with primer, red paint, and then clear coat. Still the finish was much too greyish pink and dull in comparison to the rest of the paintjob, so that was not really a success. To make that even worse, when driving back home again at night, I rolled the Vespa too far backwards on the outdoor tile floor until it bounced down the concrete stairs towards my front door sidings where the luggage box came crashing into the wall, making one of the mounting brackets break off and the whole damn Vespa fell right to the ground where the whole right front of it and a lot of parts were scratched up because it was simply too heavy to pull back up straight once it started leaning. Luckily it was insured to get all new replacement parts if anything should happen, so I'll just let it be at that and think no more of it to avoid it bothering me. This is probably a good chance for me to get a brand new flawless luggage box anyway as the one I had was already scratched when I bought it. Onto something completely different, I'm not really sure about my future anymore. I used to know where it would head, even including this exact apartment and the homes to come after that, and I sure knew who I would end up with, at least I think I knew. That nearly destroyed me once after thinking my evil ex-fianceé was the one I was supposed to be with since she had dark skin and black hair with red highlights like the girl I would end up with, but of course I found out later she would be Asian and not a Latina girl like my ex-fiancée was. I also remembered later that her 5 red highlights weren't as mixed in as she made them just for the reason of proving she was the one I had foreseen, which she most definately was not. A short relationship with one Asian girl didn't lead to anywhere for a short while, and now my latest information is that my next girlfriend whoever she is will have a name starting with the letter R and will have something to do with the number 12. And now to the point; I've been looking for this Asian girl for years now, hoping I would maybe meet her at Desucon, but I didn't. Thousands of interesting white girls were there, a few who which had the sort of 1980's look I like that I thought didn't even exist anymore, and they were fun to talk to with some of them saying they liked Star Wars too. Now I'm not really sure who I will end up with anymore with all these different interesting girls everywhere. I just wish I could get some clearer answers about this, because if I did get a white girlfriend with an R name, there just might be a chance that I really would end up with that Asian girl I knew I'd end up with anyway, meaning I would have to endure another break-up again. Then again I was also meant to find a girl who's name started with M and had something to do with the number 20, and now that I've found her, she's just a friend who I have no idea why the hell I was supposed to find in the first place, so maybe this mysterious R with won't even be my next girlfriend, all I know is that whoever I'm supposed to be with had two red highlights on the right side of her head and three on the other, something that should be damn easy to identify even at the crowded Desucon. I got into this damn world of weird witches and evil psycic crap just to avoid such bad relationships and to find out if there were still some hope for my future, but it seems these exact things are the ones that burned me, so maybe I should just give it all up and just go with the wind, date whoever the hell I want no matter what race they are and do whatever I want to. Would be nice if that huge brown house I would own later became true though...

Log - 25 June 2011 - Desucon 6, day 1.

2011-06-25T07:58:00.000-07:00

The last time a great costuming convention called Desucon was held, I was unfortunately too busy to join the Nordic Garrison there, but did at least get to drive by the building to see all the awesome looking cosplayers as they stood in line to enter the convention. This year I really wanted to go there, only I was not sure if I was well enough for it after having been sick for some while, therefore I decided to meet up with the Nordic Garrison troopers the day before the event at the convention center to inspect the surroundings to see if I could handle it all or not when the huge crowd of huggy cosplayers would pour into the building. I actually had a good time with the troopers that day even though the convention started the day after, so that in itself including the fact that one of them would dress up as Obi-Wan Kenobi made me want even more to join them as Anakin Skywalker, so I just went for it. We came to the convention hours before it started, but already the place was packed with cosplayers everywhere as far as the eye could see, and after meeting up with some of the Nordic Garrison troopers and buying some refreshments, it was our turn to get into our costumes and patrol the area as Stormtroopers, Scout Troopers, and just about everything else. I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to photograph my Anakin Skywalker costume for my website since one of the Nordic Garrison members was dressed up as Anakin's Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi and could join me in a photoshoot later on, but I didn't even know that another member was in fact conveniently dressing up as Anakin's wife Padmé and didn't even know herself that I would be there as Anakin, so this was even better for the photoshoot when all three main characters from the same movie were there. Naturally the three of us walked around the convention center together, much to everyone's liking as they wanted many photos of us together. We came across a whole bunch of different cosplayers, everything from Japanese cartoon characters to Hogwarts students and Super Marios here and there, Pokémons, cardboard box heads, a whole group of girls wearing nothing but pink, and of course the annual cosplayers with "FREE HUGS" signs everywhere who gave me more hugs right then and there than I've ever received before. I also kept stumbling into this one girl who wanted to touch our lightsabers all the time just because she loved Star Wars. Patrolling outside was basically the same with crazy costumes and "FREE HUGS" signs everywhere, only it was even hotter, especially for Obi-Wan who was wearing a full cashmere robe. There was not much activity at our stand to begin with, so we pretty much just shot at eachother with nerf guns and had lightsaber battles. People could actually pay to shoot at the troopers with the nerf guns, but after one of the troopers started shooting at me as I tried to deflect the nerf darts in Jedi style, a few people actually wanted to pay to do that instead, so I'm glad I brought in some extra charity money through that. Many of the troopers followed Obi-Wan into a room where the Nordic Garrison would have a "Questions and answers" session about the Nordic Garrison, presented by Obi-Wan himself who told the audience all about the organisation called The 501st Legion and what we do as members of it. He also talked about the sister organization called The Rebel Legion where those with costumes of the good characters can join as opposed to The 501st Legion that is based around the bad characters of the Star Wars saga. He also explained how a few of the characters including Anakin Skywalker could join both organizations as they were both good and evil characters along the storylines. As a way to get more information out to the public, one of the members joined the audience and asked questions to which he already knew the answers to, just to inform about where you should and should not buy costumes and all the other general information you should know before getting a costume and becoming a member of either organization or in any other case both. He also told about the different types of weapons you could get for the costumes, ranging from stunt weapons made of rubber, to resin cast weapons, and scratch built weapons of metal that I got to say a few words about after having built a full metal blaster rifle myself. Another interesting note was that some of the costumes while being quick to create would take really long to put on because of required facial and body painting while other costumes that take really long to create can be quick to put on since they are pieces of armor that simply snap together. With the session over, Obi-Wan changed into his Jango Fett costume and walked over to our stand where people paid to shoot nerf darts at him and a few other troopers, so in the meanwhile I just walked around the building to see all the interesting costumes and get even more free hugs. Many people wanted to take photos of me too, and of course I stumbled into that girl who wanted to touch my lightsaber again. Eventually a costume contest took place where three or four cosplayers would enter the stage at a time to show and tell about their costumes to four judges who would announce the winner later on, and there were many fun and interesting costumes to see up there as well. I don't know who won though, because the Nordic Garrison members were preparing for an auction where people could bid to win a dance with either Darth Vader for the girls and Padmé for the guys. Both walked up to the stage followed by Stormtroopers and great applause, then people started yelling out their bids. Another member dressed as Mara Jade was standing in the middle of the pathway up to the stage with her lightsaber glowing brightly in the darkness, so I thought it would be cool if I stood there too with my glowing blue lightsaber, but while the bidding for a dance with Darth Vader and Padmé was still taking place, people started yelling "What about them?!" and started bidding on a dance with myself and Mara Jade as well even though we were not part of the auction. In the end a girl wearing nothing but pink won the dance with Darth Vader, and a guy we saw earlier at the "Questions and answers" session won the dance with Padmé. The Desucon ball was then opened by a slow waltz between Darth Vader and Padmé and their winning bidders for the dance, and after that was over, the whole place got crazy with loud party music, screaming cosplayers, smoke machines, and a very impressive costume on stilts that was covered in LEDs that pulsated and changed colors to the music. Sure enough it would be fun to join the crowd, but jumping and dancing around in my costume would most likely end in disaster as parts and pouches would come flying off of my utility belt, so I thought it would be cool to put my Jedi robe hood on and stand on the stage, watching down at the dancers instead.

Log - 18 June 2011 - Cyrah version 2.0.

2011-06-18T12:04:00.000-07:00

And so the story goes again. I once built a Tusken Raider costume, very much liked this costume, thought the female Tusken Raider costumes looked cool, wanted to make one that I hoped one of my girlfriends would wear, none of them would. Not bothering to ask anyone again, I decided to buy a female mannequin for this costume to keep it as a display piece. The mannequin was cheap and used. I assembled it only to find that the pose was all too wrong to work work the costume, so I tried to heat the plastic to bend it, that didn't work. I had to chop it apart to reconfigure the pose and make it stand straight, thinking that I might as well turn it into a cool looking robot statue since I had to chop the whole damn thing apart anyway, and so Cyrah was "born". I really liked making science fiction artwork featuring her and eventually wanted to build another small robot statue, also known as a Gynoid that was smaller than Cyrah with a fully articulated body for further poses in the artwork, and so Zenia was "born", only the mannequin I ended up buying made her over 2 meters tall instead of being small. Wondering who had made the mannequin I turned into Cyrah after all the work, I found another mannequin from the same manufacturer, only this time the company's logo was imprinted in the plastic. This mannequin was bought for a low price, and so Sheera was "born". Now I just really liked building these Gynoids and what they looked like, so I just wanted to build one in my favorite colors red and black just for the hell of it when I was already building these things, and so Roxena was "born". Now with 4 Gynoids instead of a simple mannequin for a costume as planned, the rushed and slightly unplanned Cyrah didn't look as great as all the other Gynoids, and so I decided to re-shape her once again, this time getting her overall body pose just perfectly right, enhancing her boobs to match the others, and giving her a new paintjob with the shiniest, most sparkling silver paint I could find to once and for all reinvent her to look just as good as the other Gynoids with new symbols in bright aluminum and metallic green to make her color scheme green as that would fit with the other blue, purple, and red Gynoids. And so today I started working on this after buying some really nice sparkly silver spray paint, so soon Cyrah will look like a completely different Gynoid than before, even with a new slightly redesigned face with new browlines, nose, and more natural looking lips. Now she will look like a young cute girl like all the others instead of a converted, tired old hippy woman.

2011-06-03T14:47:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was some sort of holiday, so no packages arrived then even though it could have, but today the last Modulus lot package did arrive in the mail. Because I will buy an expensive Vespa on the morrow, my parents decided to take a loan to pay back all the money I loaned them for the car and the redecoration of their bathroom, and so I would have to come along for a trip to the bank and all that, really early in fact. But sure enough I wanted to get my new Modulus Base robot and accessories before that and printed out a package delivery note from the post office's website instead of waiting for the postal driver to get it to me. Dang that was a heavy box, but that's probably good anyway now that I'm working out. Opening the package was really exciting and fun for me who's a big fan of the Modulus robots and all robots too in fact. In the package was a brand new unused Modulus Base robot, two 110VAC chargers, an RF command keyboard, a plotter and a support for it, two batteries, and even the highly anticipated speech synthesis "slice" module that will be really neat to get working. It even came with a cable for connecting the Base to a Commodore 64 computer and an old 5,25 inch floppy disc labeled "Modulus-Demo", and that's just awesome right there. Now I definately need to get a working Commodore 64 computer and test the unknown demo program for these robots. So far I've bought three Commodore 64 computers already that didn't work at all, so hopefully the fourth time is the charm. A big thanks to the creator of the RB5X robots for selling these Modulus robots and items to me. Speaking of RB5X, it was revealed to me today that the reason why I never received the RB5X robot I bought and never heard from the seller after that is because the seller had in fact passed away some time after I bought the robot, so that was indeed bad news. I'd rather be tricked out of money like I thought I had been than the seller actually passing away. Most likely I won't receive the robot, but oh well, rest in peace, seller of unreceived RB5X.

Log - 28 May 2011 - Un costume nuovo Vespa.

2011-05-28T16:24:00.000-07:00

The thing about my old moped is that it looks weird as it is, but also that I am taller than the moped is long, so it is sure an embarrasing thing to ride until I get a car and a licence for that, so I was thinking about buying a new scooter of some sort since these can be driven by anyone without looking weird for the most part, and today it seems most people ride scooters instead of mopeds anyway, so that's good. There were two somewhat cheap scooters available at different stores that I was thinking about buying, but later I heard that these scooters were nothing but cheap crap from unknown manufacturers that were impossible to repair once they got broken since no repair shops would take them in or have any replacement parts for them what so ever, so I was told to check out a place called "The Scooter Central" instead. Checking out their website first, it seems they only sold expensive scooters where some of them were Vespas, so I thought I probably wouldn't find anything cheap there since Vespas are usually expensive in comparison to what I had in mind. We all went there anyway even though I thought there would be no point in it, but once we arrived, they had a whole bunch of scooters at different prices from low to high. I was also told there that the two scooters I looked at before were really a couple of pieces of crap and that it was not a good idea to buy either one of them. Being asked what sort of scooters I liked, I said I did really like the Vespas, not thinking I would get one of those because of the price, but I started looking at them anyway. Sure enough after learning that my favorite robot Modulus was made in Italy, I started realizing just how good Italian things really were, from the super cars to the scooters and everything, so buying a Vespa was actually something I wanted to do sometime, only I thought it would be something really expensive I would buy later on in the future if I got rich or something, but the price for a Vespa was actually not that bad, even if it was somewhat high, it was something I really could afford if I wanted to, so I started looking at a really nice red one while thinking this could actually be possible right now as the scooter I wanted to get. I was told the red one was custom assembled with a hand sewn leather seat and leather grips from Italy and that it was the only one like that probably anywhere, so that looked pretty sweet right there. It also had a luggage box at the back that was also something I wanted, so this Vespa seemed perfect for me. The cost of it was probably 5 times as high as what I was going to spend on a scooter, and spending that much on a scooter would sure annoy the crap out of me later on, but still it felt perfectly fine buying this Vespa for that amount for what it was, so now I've actually signed the contract to buy it already and will be able to buy it and get it straight home, ready to use next Saturday. Earlier I borred my parents some money to buy a new car and to redecorate their bathroom since I had the money available and they didn't really know how much they needed or when, so it was easier that way. I was told they would get a loan for the money to give it back to me after I moved out, which has happened a while ago now without me getting the money, but now that I'm going to buy the Vespa, they would get a loan for that until next Saturday, or in any other case scrape something together so I could buy it.

2011-05-25T15:24:00.000-07:00

Today I decided to clean up my apartment, put up the last DVD shelf, and fix generally everything else that needed fixing. Sure enough I required food after some while, so I bought some, then brought it hope and ate it. Not much of an interesting day so far, but there you have it. My horoscope of the day said there would be a light in the end of a tunnel as far as something I've wanted to happen will happen and so forth, and also that something I really wanted would reveal itself somehow. Of course the thing I really want is the Modulus "Moddy" robot, so I thought it could maybe have something to do with that since I don't really care about much else now than the Modulus robots. Recently I received yet another "Service & Security" Modulus robot that inspired me to fix up the one I had now that I knew where all the wires were supposed to go. Actually I had put all the wires in the right places before, but now that was confirmed. The "Base" Modulus robot I bought is somehow stuck in customs because of some missing content description or something like that, but hopefully I will receive it soon. The "Service & Security" Modulus I got came with a new manual and a few other small brochures for insurance and whatnot, so I decided to search for that insurance company through http://www.google.com/ in case they knew something about it when they used to insure those robots. I found nothing, but then I stumbled across the advanced search settings for Google where I set the search engine to search only for Italian pages. If only I had done so before, I would have found some things sooner, but now that I had set the search engine to Italian, I found an old magazine scan with the robot itself in it, then I found another one, and another one, and even more things and rare photos about the Modulus robots, so of course there was much "Hey!!, Whoa!!, There!!" and the office chair rolling rapidly backwards across the room from my part. I felt more happy right then than I had ever done in years and kept searching through the Italian Internet with excitement. It seemed completely impossible for me to locate the robot, searching for 20 years so far would be proof of that, but there was one search result that seemed interesting. A forum came forth, filled foreign posts that I thought were possibly about robots since they talked about "something, something, CPU, something, 2830, something, 16bit", and in that whole mess of foreign words, I recognized "Sirius" and "Moddy", rapidly speeding over to Google Translate to naturally translate the forum. And there it was, a person was telling about the one meter tall robot called "Moddy", made by "Sirius" that he had bought over 20 years ago, and sure enough that was as big as a surprise could get for me. I didn't really know what to feel or think at that moment, but at least I got registered at that forum and e-mailed this person with the golden question if he would be interested in selling me the robot. Right now I'm half-way between happy and really really bad because I don't know what will happen from now on. The whole matter with the Technical Museum damn near killed me before, so I really don't want to start asking them to sell their Modulus robot again if this other person I just found doesn't want to sell his.

Today the tracking number confirmed that one of the Modulus robots I recently bought would arrive today, so I walked out to my mailbox early in the morning to check for a package claiming receit, but right then the postal worker woman started stuffing mail into the boxes already, so I just stood there and stared for a while until I did find a package receit in my box, then I walked down to the postal office to get the package. Getting it back home, I didn't know which one of the two Modulus robot versions was in the box, but it turned out it was the "Service & Security" version that I already have one of here, so now I've got twins of that version. This brand new and unused robot was even grayer than the old one that looked almost cream colored next to the new one, and it even came in the original box with neat little insurance books for the robots with logos and drawings all over them, including a brand new manual, so this was sure an exciting package to receive after my long search for the Modulus robots. Of course the most exciting part was to get the robot itself, and it was sure a great help to see how all the cables should be properly connected in my old one, but it turned out I had connected them all right anyway, so now I only need to get the old one working again after changing a few electronic elements. Later I will equip this new Modulus robot with the optional arm and speech synthesis module to make it different from my old one, but so far the other package with the "Base" robot and the other parts are being held in the customs, but I'll probably get it soon.

Log - 22 May 2011 - Kistefos Museum.

2011-05-22T15:21:00.000-07:00

Today my closest family was invited to the annual opening of the Kistefos Museum, and of course this time we would go there since my father had made a scaled model to them of an old bridge that used to be around there with some people fighting on it. There was also a ship on it that he made after a real ship that once existed and used to pull a whole bunch of logs through the water, and the model kit ship parts he used were in fact from the same kit that I got the rest of the parts from to use on the Gynoid Roxena that I finished not long ago. We arrived at the museum very early because he wanted to check on the model before it really opened, and then it opened, and a whole lot of people came to point and stare at everything. Eventually everyone gathered around a new huge sculpture that was embedded in the middle of the river that they would unveil. After they unveiled the front of it that was revealed to be a huge sculpted version of the right eye of the museum's director, a whole lot of water started flowing into the middle of it, filling up to the edge until it ran over and through the large pupil hole of the enormous eye. Later some people played a few songs on stage, and a few speeces were held about some of the artists and their art that had come to the museum for this occasion. After the speeces were over, the opened up the gallery but only let the famous people in first, followed by the other regular people who were not so famous at all, uncluding us. The sculptures inside the gallery were mostly real-time burning metal skeletons, probably representing people burning in hell, but there were a few other nice paintings and huge colorful fingerprints as well. People started staring and pointing and photographing the model that my father made too, and it seemed they all liked it. After everything else was done, what was left was to pretty much just get some free hot-dogs and soda, that was really good right then in fact.

Log - 14 May 2011 - For the records.

2011-05-14T14:44:00.000-07:00

Even though today is Saturday the 14th, nothing bad out of the ordinary happened yesterday. Most recently I finally got to visit the record store that had just opened up again not far away and found a few records that I was trying to find. Yes, indeed records, plain old vinyl, just because even though someone likes 80's music, it doesn't mean that someone would want to listen to the same 5 songs on the radio, over and over and over again, so buying vinyl records will bring you to a whole new world of awesome 80's music that you've never ever heard before while still being completely awesome. But having bought a special edition box of the video game BioShock 2 with a vinyl record in the box was also one of the things that helped on my way to vinyldom. This saturday I wanted to buy a couple of crates for my shelves that are custom made to fit right into these shelf openings by the same manufacturer. These crates would store my vinyl records and also my Hexbug Nano robot tracks now that there are quite a lot of those here. At the famous store called Ikea where these shelf crates were bought, I also found some really good DVD shelves that were perfect for my apartment, and so I bought four of those as well that fit right next to my computer desk, apart from one of them that I'll have to put up elsewhere, but at least the nice dark brown color will drain away all these white walls everywhere. I also want to add that I have now started to work out for good this time until I see some results now that I have the time and space for it, and already I'm seeing difference between now and my previous skinny-bastardness, so now I just have to keep at it.

I was contacted some while ago by the man behind the first mass produced personal robot, the RB5X, and was told he had a bunch of Modulus robots including the Moddy version of it that he wanted to sell to me because of my high interest and long search for these robots, but unfortunately he later discovered that his Modulus lot did not include the Moddy version that I've spent so many years searching for, so I told him I had to save my money in case I would encounter a Moddy robot for sale in the future. Recently I was contacted by this man again, giving me a final offer for the two smaller Modulus robot versions that I fortunately could afford this time, even though my cash is not in plenty anymore, so today I finally got to buy the smallest Modulus robot called the "Base" that I've also been searching for, along with another "Service & Security" robot that I will fit with the voice synthesis from the lot and the arm I already have to make it different from my other "Service & Security" robot. Finally I will be able to hear its voice, if hopefully the voice synthesis will work at all, I'm not even sure these robots will work or if they even have any software installed, but at least they will be a great joy for me to receive anyway. Hopefully one day I will be able to get the final needed version of the Modulus robots, the Moddy version, but it seems to me my only chance of getting one is to convince the Technical Museum I need it more for future plans than they need it to rot away in their basement. I just don't understand how people can be so uncaring towards other human beings when I've told them about my now 20 year long search and my future plans for the robot they didn't even know anything about and will never need for anything else than to fill their basement with it. I don't know...I just don't know...

2011-05-07T07:26:00.000-07:00

The market at Ekeberg that is usually held twice a year was also held this day. I've not been too healthy lately, so I thought getting to that place would probably get my mind off of that and get me better. I also thought it would be a good idea to bring along my friend Lassor to this place since both of us have now become interested in old LP records for some reason, and this place is full of that. After picking up Lassor at his place, we drove to an ATM to get some needed moolah for the market. Getting there, we mostly started browsing through boxes full of LPs, but since at least I needed to find some important stuff for my costumes, such as bandoliers for my Jawa display costume, we decided to look through the whole market first after various items before spending the rest of the time browsing through LPs since this would take some time. Not having walked too far, I found a completely unused and still packaged toy car from the toy series "The Incredible Crash Dummies" that I used to play a lot with as a kid. Sure enough buying toys is something I don't really do much unless it is collectors items from movies and such, but this was an exeption when I was actually planning on buying that exact car on the Internet along with the two figures of the very first crash dummies named Vince and Larry, so that was a very cool coincidence that I found that one there. Later Lassor bought himself a skull from an animal that was most likely a dog. Even though we had decided to browse through LP records last, we stopped at nearly every box with it and found some really good ones. I even found Michael Jackson's first album "Off The Wall" and his most famous album "Thriller" in mint condition with plastic sleeves and all, and the best part about it was that even though these LPs are probably worth their own weight in gold, they cost barely anything at all, probably to the loss of the ignorant salesman, but for my satisfaction. I already had his album "Bad", so it's getting there. I also found pretty much every other famous albums from all the other famous bands and artists too for a good enough price. Right before the market was about to close, I sort of had to run arund in panic to find some bandoliers for my Jawa display costume, but unfortunately no one had the exact type I needed that I am sort of pissed off about me not buying that type the last time the market was held, but back then I wasn't even making a Jawa costume. All I cound find was the smallest bandolier that was in fact of the right type anyway, so perhaps I will find some other ones for this costume later. I still have many and many more projects to finish first anyway. After the market closed, Lassor asked if I wanted to stay over for the weekend, and so I did. At his place, we barbequed meat products and watched movies both days. I even got to see the scooter I would maybe buy at a grocery store and realized another one I had seen earlier was actually a lot better than that one and cheaper too, so soon I am planning on buying a scooter since I've only got a licence for driving mopeds so far and that's the only way I really have now to get my sorry carcass around the place without assistance. First I have to pay for a big pile of Modulus robots and equipment that will be most interesting to get, even included the voice synthesis module so I finally get to hear what the robots sound like. As for some other unfortunate news, my external harddrive with all my important files, photos, music, and movies has now screwed itself for an unknown reason, probably due to a bumpy transfer to my new apartment, but fortunately yet I do have a backup harddrive that seems less wacky than that one, so hopefully I won't lose anything anyway. I'll have to replace the faulty one soon.

Today is the supposedly worldwide Star Wars day, convinently on the fourth so people can walk around and say "May the fourth be with you" to eachother, like that means anything. Today they would reveal something about the upcoming Star Wars blu-ray boxes, and there was a big countdown for this online. Thinking that this would be a nice day to assemble the caterpillar robot I bought to have something to do in this new apartment, I decided to watch the robot movie "Short Circuit" first before soldering the things together. After a while, the movie was watched and the robot was assembled, only the programming CD and manual never came with it, so I had to screw around on the Internet for some while to find these things. Eventually I realized there were no real good programs for this thing, so I will have to make my own later after just learning how to program the little bugger in the first place. The countdown for the revealing of something was over, and all the blu-ray boxes were revealed as something really boring and ugly that I didn't really like at all. Really late this night, the fire alarm started beeping really loud as they do, but for no reason what so ever. Just like I needed more than just the white walls everywhere to make me more uncomfortable living here.

Today the big cheese behind some terrorist organization was shot at some huge mansion he was hiding in, so no wonder they never found him before when they thought he was hiding in his own crap inside some dark cave somewhere, but no, he was screwing around in some huge mansion full of chicks and other things of richness. Also today I would move up to my new apartment that is only a few blocks away from where I used to live. We got to borrow a car trailer from one of the neighbors, then threw my bed and computer table into it and drove that up here. After getting those things in place, what was left was pretty much just a bunch of boxes and various long weapons for costumes. So far everything is a complete mess, and none of my posters have covered up the damn white walls that are everywhere here, unfortunately for me when I absolutely hate old buildings with white painted walls, but as I was chowing down a bowl of cereal late at night, I suddenly came to realize that what I had been shown as being my first home in the future was this exact apartment, even though it took some time to realize. The shape and color of the whole apartment and its exterior is exactly the same, which makes it a frakking damn bad shame that I didn't draw down the damn place on a piece of paper before actually moving into it!

23 years ago I was hatched from an alien-egg in a secret laboratory in the middle of the desert somewhere in Nevada, but not really. Still I became one year older in only one day, not really feeling happy about that, and not a single damned person wrote anything to me what so ever, so there you go, no point in celebrating an evil creature such as me anyway. Still there was a mall that was night opened, so we went there to browse around. I bought the latest Harry Potter movie that was released only one day before, and also bought the new Tron movie in a collectors blu-ray box with both of the Tron movies. The not so easy to find movie Mars Attacks was also bought there. I really wanted to get some new pants on this occasion, so I went and bought some pants, even finding some lightweight cargo pants that will be perfect for running around in. What I really wanted to get for a long time were a couple of red Converse All Star shoes, which are the most awesome shoes ever made. I wore my black ones just for this occasion, and a couple of brand new red ones of the size 11 were bought to my long awaited satisfaction. Now I will start running and jumping around in these soon also. Later some cake was consumed.

Not long ago, I received a large box containing the display mannequin I bought not long ago to use as a display statue of a so-called Little Sister from the BioShock games, so now I have one more project to work away at. The reason why I decided to make a display statue of a brainwashed kid with big glowing eyes was because I was actually going to make a display costume of a Jawa from the Star Wars movies who conveniently also are small with big glowing eyes, so needing a Little Sister in the photos of my Subject Delta costume anyway, I deciced to make a Little Sister statue since this would then work in two ways. I also finished Roxena the red and black evil Gynoid today, so that is at least one project less that is finally completed. I've created a few graphics featuring her already, and so far she looks pretty cool and alien-like. Still I have no idea why I'm supposed to build these things anyway, and even with a limited space, I am still seeing another one that I hope will not become a reality to take even more space, but yeah I would probably build one more if I found a base mannequin for it in the junk or got one for free for some reason. Maybe if there will be a gallery in the local mines again, I will be able to print out all the artwork of the Gynoids and some of my other photos to try and sell them there, perhaps they will become popular up there and reveal the reason for why I built them in the first place. Who knows?

Buying a couch from a store and getting it into the living room, opening it, turned out to reveal that it was in fact the wrong damn couch! The people at the store didn't really know what they were doing, but they ordered the right couch anyway that would arrive last Tuesday, and so it did! The couch is now assembled in its full sweetnes and looks absolutely awesome, and so with that in place and everything else that has been bought recently, I currently have everything I would need to move into this place, everything from things to eat from, things to make food in, things to watch movies on, cups to drink from, a fridge to cool things in, a freezer to freeze things in, a washing machine to wash things in, and a toilet seat to releave through, among other things.

The only good knives I had seen for my apartment were in a set of five knives and a holding block, only these were sold out in the nearest store, so I checked online to see if any other stores had more of these sets left, and one place somewhat far away still had them, so of course the trip went to this store today. After buying the knives, I wanted to look for a good reading lamp to hang over my bed, then I found a really cool and cheap rocket shaped lava lamp that I've always wanted. I did find a really cool reading lamp in another mall nearby that had a glass front that looked like molten lava, and the base looked really cool and futuristic too. A black spray paint can was also bought for the Gynoid statue Roxena that I am also soon done with. I wanted to buy a new TV today after seeing only one that could fit in my new TV shelf, so I asked my friend Lassor if he was working in that store today. He wasn't working, but said he could join us at the store for helping out with the TV, so he was picked up from his place. The only TV that could fit into my TV shelf was only half a centimeter shorter than the TV room in my shelf, so I knew it had to be that one, only it couldn't be made cheaper by Lassor's friend discount, plus they couldn't order any new ones now that they were all sold out, so the last option was to buy the display TV cheaper from the store, which I saved a lot of money on. Lassor said the sound of the TV was poor as they usually are on such TVs, so I wondered if I could buy the audio amplifier that he tried to sell me earlier, and he said I could buy it for a reasonable price. Back in the apartment, the TV fit like a glove into the TV space in the shelf, and it even worked too after plugging it in, best of all. Soon I will connect the BRD player and LP player to the amplifier along with the TV and test it all out.

Out to buy more stuff again for my new apartment, this time finding a nice set of food pans for the stove, to make food in, obviously. I also bought some nice cheap black mugs, to drink stuff out of. I even bought some purple fabric dye for the white fabric I bought earlier for the Little Sister display costume. Most important and awesome of all was that I also bought a brand new Unimat 6-in-1 machine for milling and grinding all sorts of parts, plus more functions that will be useful for making new parts for costumes and whatnot. I would even be able to sell a few parts I would make that are hard to come by, but first I probably need to finish my own projects.

Today I wanted to buy a refridgerator and a washing machine for my new apartment, so a trip was taken to the Elkjøp Megastore where my friend Lassor works. Unfortunately he was not at work this Saturday, so I called him and asked if he could come. He said he didn't quite know where he was located at the time since he was driving around with a friend of his, but fortunately he could be driven to the Elkjøp store to help me find some good products. I knew I wanted a dark metal refridgerator since I was so tired of white refridgerators everywhere, but the one I wanted was of course by my luck not available, so a second choice was made of an even better one that did cost just a little bit more, but since I usually get a "friends discount" when Lassor works there, the price wasn't that bad anyway. A very good washing machine was also picked out from the lot and made cheaper with his employee-powers. The washing machine was indeed white, but they usually are anyway, so I didn't mind. We borrowed a car trailer from the store and got the fridge and washer jammed into it, then Lassor wondered if he could join us in the ride back home to also help carrying the objects into my new apartment that he would also then get to see, but it was unsure if he could since I had also bought the table for the living room today that took much of the space away inside the car, but we got the guy crammed into the car anyway. After he had seen my apartment and helped carry in the stuff, we drove back to his place as planned so that I could stay over until the next day. At his place, we did the usual things such as drinking a whole lot of energy drinks and experimenting with music while also watching Star Trek and other movies. The next day we probably did just that once again, plus getting to play chess against each other, which is also fun for total nerds such as us.

Recently I had planned on buying a display mannequin for a small display costume of a Jawa that I could also make to look like a "little sister" from the BioShock video games since I would need one in the photos of my Subject Delta costume anyway. I received a photo of a mannequin that was short enough for this project, and sure enough it looked like a little sister after a little photo editing, so I decided on buying this one later on. Because I had found a really cheap human hair wig that was perfect for this project, I decided to buy it now to try out the new postal address I have now because I have now oficially moved into the apartment I was preparing to rent, so today many things were packed down to be relocated to the new apartment after getting the key to it. A sort of bad thing that happened before this was that the shower drain got clogged and flooded the whole bathroom of my previous home, soaking the only pants I had left for the moment because of all the clutter everywhere, and my camera was moments away from getting soaked too, but it fortunately made it along with all the other technological stuff I had in my pants. Later when the man who rented me this apartment came home from work, I got the key to the place and started moving in a few things, then later I assembled a reading lamp and a shoerack before heading back to the old place for another day of relocating stuff.

Soon I will be moving away, so this Saturday I wanted to buy some cheap shelves and stuff from the store called Ikea. Previously I had been very sick to a point where walking around in public was not really that easy when being sick all the time, but now that I am very much better, walking around in the huge biomass of humans in the Ikea store went very well. I wanted to buy a narrow TV table so that I could place as many shelves as possible next to it, but then I discovered a different sort of furniture that was basically a large shelf section with a room in the middle for a TV and wanted to buy this instead. Next to this would be a shorter shelf for underneath the window in the livingroom, then there would be a single row shelf next to that again. Unfortunately I could only find the smallest shelf in the dark brown color that I wanted and the others were in white. Trying to figure out what to do, I decided to buy a different shelf for underneath the window that they still had in dark brown, then I realized the TV shelf furniture was also made as a full shelved version without the TV space in dark brown, thinking that I could only assemble it without some of the shelves to make the exaxt same TV space as in the other one, so it all worked out anyway. Many various cheap things for the kitchen was also bought, and I just about got enough money for it all after scraping up what money I could find for this, but in the end it will all be worth it and look very nice. I also recently received almost all of the Studio Ghibli movies that I ordered, now there is only one missing in my collection that will be shipped out later when the store gets it back in storage.

The night to Friday the 18th, I could not sleep at all as usual. I've been having difficulties sleeping for a long while now, so I sat up at the computer instead to google around for whatever. Not remembering why I decided to start this again, I started searching to figure out once and for all who had made the female mannequins that I built into robot statues a while ago. This was something I wanted to know since I had worked quite some time to alter these mannequins. I came across a website I had seen before called Dash & Dazzle where mannequins are transformed from beat up old junk into realistic and lifelike things of beauty. Thinking that the man behind that all had probably worked with a whole bunch of different mannequins before, I decided to ask this man if he could identify the manufacturer who made the mannequins I turned into robot statues called Cyrah and Sheera. Fortunately this man could identify the manufacturer as Almax, finally ending my long search to figure that out. If only I had asked him before, but there you go. Being exited about this, I found Almax's website to also discover that all their mannequins were in fact built in Italy where my favorite robot Modulus is also from, so this was absolutely awesome for me to discover, they could have been from any country at all on the globe, but the one where the Modulus robot was made was sure the one. At the same search session to find this manufacturer, I stumbled across an auction for a one meter tall vintage girl mannequin that really reminded me of a "little sister" from the video game series Bioshock that I am also building a costume from called Subject Delta. I have wanted to make a Jawa costume from the Star Wars movies as a little display piece since these are only one meter tall and I already have a display costume of a female Tusken Raider, but I was originally going to make a simple paper and tape mannequin for the inside of the Jawa costume. Realizing that both Jawas and little sisters are the exact same height with big glowing yellow eyes, I started wondering if it was just as well to buy a one meter tall girl mannequin to make into a little sister that could also be the mannequin with glowing eyes for my Jawa costume. This way I would get to have a little sister in the photos of my Subject Delta costume, which is actually important when "big daddies" like Subject Delta are all genetically bonded to a little sister and the whole game evolves around that matter also. Taking decent screenshots of any little sister from the video games is virtually impossible since every time you get near one, a huge big daddy tries to kill you! Even after killing it, the only thing the little sisters do is cry at the same spot, which is really not useful a snapshot for anything, making having a display statue of a little sister just about the only way to get decent photos of these twisted little brainwashed kids. So now this plan came to mind again with this auction right in front of me, but of course the mannequin was already sold when I asked about it. Now that I realized how important these creepy little kids are for the character Subject Delta, I've decided to go ahead and find a mannequin for both this and the Jawa instead of making a paper and tape mannequin for only the display Jawa costume. So it is either a single Jawa, or it can be a Jawa and a little sister that I need in the photos of Subject Delta anyway. Today it was Saturday, and I bought some more stuff for my soon to be new apartment, some of which were a laundry bin and the rest of the stuff needed for the bathroom, even a really neat extendable shoe rack with room for all my costume shoes too. Having to find more metallic ribbon for Roxena's hair yet again, I wanted to look in a mall where they should theoretically have it, and so they did, only I wanted to look arund further for cheaper alternatives to the ribbon since I always try to spend as little money as I can on anything, and while looking around I found the most perfect curtains to use as the fabric for Subject Delta's bodysuit and bought this with an open purchase so that I could get my money back if the fabric didn't fit. Buying the ribbon for Roxena and getting back home, the reference photos of Subject Delta proved the fabric I bought to be more perfect for it than I had hoped for. Soon I will get to finish all my costumes way easier and sooner in my new apartment with more space and tools. Going back to the museum to work further on Roxena the fourth robot statue, I finally got all the metallic ribbons in place as her shiny metallic red hair, then I started braiding it all as planned in an extreme boredom that made me wish I had a braiding tool at hand, so I really should find one of those.

Last Saturday I was actually going to buy a new office chair for my computer desk since the one I had before was purely awful in many ways, but when I arrived at the store that sold it, I didn't really like it at all and decided not to buy it anyway. Then I saw another chair that cost a little more, but I didn't really like that either. Walking around the store to find some other things, I noticed a really big and comfy black chair that was on a discount for the time being and thought that would be totally sweet instead. Unfortunately they had no more of those chairs, but could fortunately get another store to save one for me until Monday, so last Monday I received this chair and assembled it to much enjoyment. Something completely different, I sat up really late one night, browsing through the Internet after various robots and saw a most amusing robot that moved and behaved just like an enormous caterpillar and really wanted to buy this crawling critter, thinking it would then arrive at the time around when I am to move to a new apartment, giving me something nice to solder together in this new place, so today I bought the crawly critter from the manufacturer's website. Something completely different again would be that I decided to buy the rest of the Studio Ghibli movies after discovering them all in a numbered series with dubbed English soundtracks and so forth. Of course I like watching these movies in the original Japanese too, only I hate having to read Norwegian subtitles while doing so, so having the choice of either Japanese language with English subtitles or alltogether English speeck it a whole lot better.

This Saturday I wanted to see the various crap I wanted to buy in person to be sure it would fit into the apartment that I will soon move into, if all goes as planned. Sure enough it seemed the couch I wanted fit exactly in there according to the measurements I took of the apartment the last time I was there, so probably I will buy this black couch later if it doesn't get sold out first. Second I wanted to take a look around in the giant Ikea store since this place probably has the cheapest stuff which is also the coolest to have, and sure enough I found a very nice TV table with lots of shelves around it that I thought would fit well. Looking through more shelves for stuff and books, I found more shelves of the same series as the TV table and decided to buy these also when the time comes, then these things will wrap around the window in the livingroom if all goes to plan. A space for a bed was built into the wall of the apartment as some sort of bench to put a matrass on top of, but my bed was not wide enough for this space, nor did they sell any other beds of the fitting width that was most likely custom, so I have plans to put up some neat shoe shelves behind the bed against the wall to fill out the bench so that my bed will go all the way out to the beginning of the floor. These shoe shelves are more like drawers that rotate instead of being pulled out horizontally, so these are also closed next to my bed so I won't kick into any open shelves with stuff in them, which is perfect for their purpose. Just before all the stores closed, I wanted to look for some red metallic ribbons or something that I really needed, not to wrap in any Valentines day gifts, thankfully, but in fact for the robot woman statue project called Roxena that I have been allowed to work on in the basement of the local museum here that might also display all of these robot woman statues later on. Maybe some artist or film-studio worker comes by to see my work and figure out something more for me to do.

With this brain-illness I was diagnosed a while back, it is not that easy to do normal things, let alone live at all in any good state. Still I don't like to complain about it when I know there are many other people with worse conditions than mine. Even so, my own state got worse a while back now, and I had to get out of the loop for a while to get some help for it, so I wrote in my website I would be gone for maybe half a year or so. Of course nothing helped of the things I had sought out, so eventually I thought "to hell with it all" and decided to get better some other way before the evil inside me took over for the worse. I decided to change a few ways, including my website that was previously known as "The Eternal Darkness". I was so damn tired of all the darkness and evil in my past and renamed my website to simply "Dark Side Sith Lord" as the URL was already named anyway to reflect my greatest costuming project of the character Darth Vader who is of course a Sith Lord. The saying that an evil person doesn't think of himself as evil is true. I have done many questionable things, thinking nothing of it while believing most people I knew are worse than me while still getting better lives when I deserved one more than they did. But as it turns out when looking into my own past, I AM the evil one who deserved a bad life. Seeing all the stupid things they all did, I believed they would get punished for it when in fact none of the things they did were a sin while most my actions were. Violence and destruction, threats and betrayal is much worse than what any of the people I concidered my enemies did. Of course I would get all this pain from not getting the Modulus robot from the Technical Museum, because I do not deserve it at all. I have done nothing but try to annoy the crap out of them until they would give up and hand it over to me, but that only made things worse. It was not the lack of the robot that made me evil, but the concept that I've tried to get one for 18 years while they kept one in their basement for no use what so ever. That is what almost destroyed me, all the anger from this fact. For my life to move on, I have to give up this robot, only then can I become well again and well enough to travel to Italy where I would most likely find one there while also being able to visit the design studio where it was thought out. For seven years I have been sick now from this brain-illness, and still it beats the hell out of me how I got it. I once got hit very heavily in the head by a ski-lift before I noticed the change, but have no idea if this was the cause. Many times before, people have sustained brain-injuries that have unlocked many more areas of the mind that are normally not available for a normal person, such as my own brain is unlocked to supposedly work better than 99% of the other minds in this country, according to the people who tested me, but still I wonder if this incident had any effect on me. It happened suddenly, I felt like a completely different person and did not remember any of my past from before than moment, so I started wondering if my body had changed souls or something like that. This is the reason why I hate the name they originally gave me. For me it only represents the other person I was before, but unfortunately the person I became was very evil until most recently, and just now it seems like 7 years of bad luck and misfortune is finally over when I have tried to change my ways. I know people have talked about 7 bad years before, but now that just seems likely somehow. As a good fate would seem to reward me, the neighbors from next-door moved to another house just a few blocks away, and sure enough that house had an extra apartment that is now in an agreement to be rented out to me from the beginning of next month. Now I can finally get the space I need to finish all my projects, and I finally get something of my own. I hated still living at my childhood home at the age of 22, but with the fact that I have been sick for seven years already, it's really a wonder that I got out of there that soon anyway when most sick Star Wars nerds are probably supposed to live at home until the age of 40. Things do appear brighter now, and the evil inside me is all but gone, mostly... Tomorrow will be a day to buy various crap needed in an apartment, such as soap-dispensers and forks. The other larger stuff will be bought later after figuring out what I've got room for to begin with.

I hate looking for movies I have no real chance in finding anyway, and I've been doing that for quite some while now with no real mystery as to why I can't find these movies when they are mostly old movies about killing vampires and other cheesy space adventures. Having found a website called play.com, I saw that most the movies I was looking for were for sale there at a really really low price with even free shipping to Norway, so I decided to simply buy the rest of them there to finally stop my search and to also cross it off my list that I have all the movies I've ever liked on video, not included all the new and upcoming movies that I will like later and therefore buy on video. For those of you who think video means a movie on a casette, you are totally wrong. Video means any format with a stored motion picture on it, meaning it can be DVD, blu-ray, or any other format, as the casette is not actually named video, but VHS (Video Home System), so there you go instead of having separate lists showing which movies I have on DVD and blu-ray, I have one list showing what movies I have on video. Now that we have entered the year of the Star Wars complete saga blu-ray release, I thought I might as well pre-order the box from the same website since it was also cheap, and so one did and am now the owner of the complete Star Wars saga on high-definition blu-ray, only I have to wait a long while for the damn thing to get released and sent here. Still no RB5X robot in the mail or any response from the Technical Museum about the Modulus robot they so want to keep in their basement for pointless reasons from a delution that it is the most historical robot out there. At least I stopped trying to start drinking and smoking for the time being. Feck!

I really wanted to buy a new Unimat machine since the one I have now is an old piece of crap with most parts missing and I need a machine to create more stuff on, but I didn't get the time to get the money for said machine today at the hoppy-shop that sold it, so I bought a small kit of a republic gunship instead. Later that day I was dropped off at my friend Lassor's new apartment to check out the place and hang around. Supposedly the reason why they all wanted me to stay over there at the weekend was to prevent me from doing anything bad like destroying something or starting drinking and smoking now that I've just about had it with my health-issues and the Technical Museum that keep ignoring everything I say. He showed me around his new apartment that was a lot nicer than what he had before, then we walked out to buy some highly caffeinated drinks and some food. Of course Lassor had to stop me from buying anything that would most likely damage myself in some ways, so I didn't. I noticed that a familiar mall was nearby and said I wanted to go there, so we did and looked around in the toy store for the most part and later discussed the theory of evolution in a book store. Later when we got back he put on an educational video about that subject, and it would seem I learned a thing or two. Followed on the TV was the movie Salt that none of us had seen before, and it was quite good and I will probably buy it later. We had wanted to play chess against eachother, and so we did on the glass chess board I bought for him, and it was much more exciting against a real human as opposed to a computer, we even had battle music in the background for extra awesomeness. Possibly he won the first battle, then we tried the smaller set he had and found that it was somewhat annoying to play since it was hard to see the pieces in the dark room only lit by a few candles. We eventually went out with his air-gun and shot at empty cans and such things, then decided to walk around in places we didn't know where would lead while discussing strange things in english just because we both like that language. I also tried to speak scottish for the first time that night just to see if I could, and it didn't sound too bad either. I then told him I once had relatives from there, something he told me he also had, but too bad languages are not genetically transferred. Walking through an antiques store, I saw a nice hexagonal shaped table that would fit well with my hexagonal wooden chess set, so I'll have to remember to buy that sometime if I live long enough to get a new place with more room. Back at his place we discussed music in his music room and played some more chess in which I won most times, I believe, then we slept for the night. Just to annoy him I asked several times as a joke if he wanted to spoon, but fortunately he had an extra sleeping couch that was good enough apart from all the rat-droppings. The next day his father came to see his new apartment, and me and Lassor played more chess while he was there, where in one battle I only had the king left and was chased around the board until it was eventually caught. His father said he had also played chess in his youth but did not play it against us then anyway. After his father left, we watched some old episodes of the original Star Trek with much fun and decided to walk out later when it was blowing like crazy outside to the level where you could almost lean into the wind. We walked around a nice big glowing hospital while shooting things again, then it was time for me to get back home and assemble my new Republic gunship before I had to recharge again for the night. At least the weekend had made me a little bit better, but that doesn't last very long in this crowded dump.

Just when I was hoping someone I know was right about me finally getting the Modulus robot from the Technical Museum this year, the 31st of December came around and shat me right in the face just to make it all so worse. Still I was not really sure what they were yapping about, and I'm getting completely tired of the whole thing, but one must hope they actually meant next year in 2011, because I sure as ham didn't get a new awesome girlfriend this year either, something that would happen the same year as the success in my long quest to finally get that Italian robot that is kept by the dark storage facility of a museum of technology. Yeah you may wonder all you want about what I'm talking about, and I can say that when you run out of options, it would be swell and super to see if the time ahead will present any. Soon there will be much rejoice outside with exploding blobs of chemicals that will eventually take out the entire ozon-layer, and to summarize what I've pretty much achieved this year, it would be that I became a big Star Trek fan, did further work on my Darth Vader costume, bought a new awesome computer and monitor, started doing Pilates, decided to build a second Gynoid statue named Zenia that I unfortunately didn't get to finish, bought a model kit of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, bought an electronic drawing pad, decided to build a third Gynoid statue named Sheera that I finished building, bought more Commodore 64s that didn't work either, bought all of Gordon Freeman's work clothes, wore my Snowtrooper costume at the Jessheim children festival, almost had to get hospitalized due to health issues related to a certain museum, bought the i-Que robot, decided to build a fourth and final Gynoid statue named Roxena that I didn't get to finish either, started building a nearly 5 meter long Nothosaurus model for a local mining museum since they have fossil castings of one, bought a blu-ray player and a backup harddrive, bought all the current releases of the Hexbug Nano robots and bought my 50th robot that was indeed also a Hexbug Nano robot, decided to buy a whole lot of books about basically everything to finally learn everything worth knowing, replaced the first Gynoid statue Cyrah's black hair into real black human hair with lime-green highlights and changed her overall color scheme to lime-green as originally planned to make her fit with the other Gynoids, got new answers about the Modulus robot from the Technical Museum that I could get it for free if they ever decided to part with it, something I hope they will. I even started making my own music after having bought a MIDI keyboard, was hired once again at Halloween to scare the crap out of kids who walk through the local mines. I finally got to buy an RB5X robot that I didn't receive this year for some reason. My HERO 1 robot finally arrived after having waited for it a little bit longer than a year, but this was because the seller was busy and wanted to give me a refund, I was the one who told him I would wait for it, and it payed off in the end, indeed. I spent days trying to figure out what was wrong with HERO 1 to eventually realize a battery was disconnected, then the action known as facepalm was performed. Leslie Nielsen unfortunately died. I almost completed my Darth Vader pants. I decided to start making a Subject Delta costume, a Scout Trooper costume, and a costume of the character known as No Face from the movie Spirited Away. My guinea-pig Mira died. I got sick at Kweznuz time. I bought a whole lot of nice chess sets. Then there was the new years eve, and I seem to be writing all this stuff that happened in my boring, sick life.

To make this already annoying holiday even worse, I was infected by a damn nasty virus this year, and it was most bad indeed. I barely got well enough to celebrate this thing over at my grandmother's house now that my mother wanted most of the remaining family to gather there while my sister was elsewhere with her kids and so forth. Of course one does not dig into the food as usual when being sick as a piece of crap, so that went quite annoyingly for a while. And then there were probably cakes and cookies and all that jazz, followed by the opening of presents, one of which was a new soldering iron that I wanted since the one I had used was only borrowed. I also wanted to buy myself a nice little robot kit that I could assemble with it, but I didn't get the time to order anything like that before the holidays, so I thought I might bring my new HERO 1 robot to the place and re-solder its charger to a voltage input of 240 Volts, which is just about right for European power outlets, but then of course my current viral affected state didn't allow my sorry carcass to bring that heavy robot along for fixing, so one must do this later. That old bearded fat bastard in red still owes me a Modulus robot!

2010-12-12T08:13:00.000-08:00

Today my last fluffy guinea-pig named Mira died after having been sick for a few days. Not sure how she got sick, but it had something to do with the lungs perhaps, and she was also old. Now she breathes no more and is floating around in a field of grass and hay. Now only my crazy cat Nemi remains of all the pets, and I have had a whole lot of pets before, most of them being guinea-pigs. Of course it sucks to lose a pet, but I try to not get affected by that now because of my brain illness that would only make my body worse again if I let it affect me, so I keep neutral and think about other things with somewhat success, but still it is creeping slowly into existence and making things worse again anyway. Then there is also the matter about the Modulus robot that still makes my health worse since I was told by someone all-seeing I know that I would get one this year, but so far that has not yet happened. Perhaps if I am lucky, the guys at the Technical Museum will get the Christmas spirit and decide to give it to me after realizing it is not as much worth and historical as they think it is and that it is pointless to keep such a thing in a dark basement when giving it to me would make my brain illness a whole lot better and stop my 18 year search for this robot that has taken the best of me. To summarize how much worth that robot really is, I would say that the RB5X robot I own which was the first mass produced personal robot is worth more than Modulus, but also since mine is an even rarer and older RB5X, it is just about the most valuable robot out there, and still I could afford it since such robots cost less than a crappy old used car that doesn't even work, so large robots like Modulus are not as valuable and historical as the museum think they are. In fact the reason why Modulus is rare is because no one even wanted to buy them, resulting in the end of the company who made them. That robot is just about the only good thing that would help me now because of a sentimental value that the people at the museum cannot even imagine. Another thing that would sure help would be if I found a new girlfriend this year, but I am not sure if this will happen this year or not. Her name will start with R and will have something to do with the number 12, but so far none of the girls I have met with such name have been the right one, so possibly this will happen next year. Still she will most likely be far better than all the other girlfriends I had in the past, and she will like costumes and Star Wars too, so I've heard.

My Darth Vader costume is coming along well, and I have finished sewing in the quilting in the front pieces of the pants, now the last two back panels remain, then I will sew them all together to finish Darth Vader's evil leather pants. Unfortunately the other leather I bought for the jacket was of the wrong texture, probably coming from a different species all together, so I will have to try to replace this large leather piece at the store where I bought it, hopefully they will allow it. I am also making a big muscle suit for this costume, the same as the actor wore in the movie to look like the bodybuilder who played Darth Vader in the older movies, and having played the video game BioShock 2, this bodysuit gave me the idea to also make a costume of Subject Delta from said video game that would also work well with this muscle suit since this character is also very large. Having sort of decided to make this costume, I fully decided for it today when travelling to a store where I had previously seen different types of twisted hemp-ropes that were of the same kind as on the Subject Delta costume, and buying two meters of one rope. Now that this costume was decided for, there would be a blank space next to the costume page banner in my website that I thought I could fill in with another costume banner. The movie Spirited Away was the first Studio Ghibli movie I saw on a field-trip once with my high-school class, and I very much liked it. Now I own many of the Studio Ghibli movies and actually watched Spirited Away yesterday in an English dubbed version I had not seen before, which was very good actually, and so the interest of making a costume of the character No Face came to mind. Actually this came to mind some time ago, but it seems more a reality at this point, and I have just about decided to make the costume of it. The display costume of the female Tusken Raider that none of my old girlfriends wanted to wear resulted in me buying a female mannequin for it just to get some photos of it made, then I had to alter the mannequin a whole lot and decided to turn it into a Gynoid statue named Cyrah while I had the chance. I really liked this statue and thought it looked awesome in real life and in my science-fiction artwork made with it, so I decided to make another one named Zenia, then later decided to make another one named Sheera, then later decided to make another one named Roxena! But it ends with the fourth one, and this display costume also has a gap next to it that I thought would be cool to fill with the costume banner of a Jawa display costume that maybe even my nephews could wear at events with the Nordic Garrison. They would probably have much fun with that. Being as Subject Delta frequently wanders around the underwater city of Rapture while protecting these little zombie looking brainwashed little girls called little-sisters, I wondered how the hell I would get one of these in the photos, then I thought "Hey, these creepy little girls have yellow glowing eyes just like the Jawas too while being exactly the same height", then I started wondering if instead of making just a simple plastic and newspaper mannequin to be inside the Jawa, I could use a small female child mannequin instead and turn this into a little-sister with yellow glowing eyes that could be inside the Jawa costume that also has yellow glowing eyes. This way I would both be able to photograph it with my Subject Delta costume, have a little-sister display costume, while using it inside my other Jawa display costume. Sounds like a good plan actually, only it would be one of the factors that would make any person say "Dude! Why the hell do you have a creepy little girl with glowing eyes in your house!?", but then again I have already made the factors to make anyone say "Dude! Why the hell do you have four big robot chicks in your house!?", "Dude! Why the hell do you have other big robots in your house!?", "Dude! Why the hell do you have robots, toys, Rubik's cubes, chess boards, Commodore 64s, and costumes everywhere in your house!?", "Dude! What the hell is wrong with you!?"

Well I sure feel like an ass after getting my new HERO 1 robot in the mail, having checked every damn plug and circuit for days to finally learn that the reason the drive motors didn't work was because of a disconnected battery, then he worked just fine. Alas I have not been able to spend much time exploring this new robot now that I am busy all the time trying to finish off all my sewing projects during the winter. The first of these projects is Darth Vader's bodysuit, and I have been studying the shape of this for many weeks now, noting and drawing sketches as I go along, and today I finally finished the patterns for the pants and will start sewing these pants soon to the exact shape and look as the screen used pants. Hopefully my Darth Vader costume will become the most screen accurate costume out there from the movie Revenge Of The Sith. The gloves will be sewn after than, then I only have about 600 other things to sew. I do believe my other robot RB5X was shipped some weeks ago, and I should receive it soon. I have received most of the Hexbugs I ordered before, only one of the tracks I bought arrived as a completely different track than I ordered. The seller gave me a refund and told me to keep the set since it would cost them a lot to get it shipped back anyway. Today I bought this track from another seller that will hopefully not send the wrong one, and I also bought another case for the robots now that the one I have is full. I saw he also sold stuffed creatures from the series "Giant Microbes", so being the nerd as I am, I also bought a petrie-dish with three giant martian microbes from him, modelled after the supposedly fossilized microbes found on the martian meteorite named ALH84001 that would be the first sign of extra-terrestrial life if they ever prove they once lived, something that is of course appealing to me. Too bad the great actor Leslie Nielsen passed away not long ago, he was a very amusing man, and I have many movies here featuring him. A man named Irvin Kershner who previously worked on some of the Star Wars movies also died only a day before Leslie Nielsen died, so that was a crappy ending to the year, indeed. So far I have not found the totally awesome cosplaying chick I was told I would meet this year, nor did I get a Modulus robot yet that I was also told I would get this year, so damn there is little time left now if these things are supposed to happen, and if they don't, then I should probably tell them all to get stuffed. The other thing they told me was that the Modulus robot I would get this year would be the one I have seen at the Technical Museum, so hopefully this will somehow happen before the year ends. Not only is the Modulus robot the first robot I ever saw as a four year old child, but it is also the only good memory I have from before the time my health went to hell because of some annoying thing that barely any doctors know about at all. What is also a case with this robot is that it did for a fact stand in a window, shown by the yellowing of the plastic, and taking to mind how ruined the arm gears are in it, it is extremely likely that this very robot is the one I saw 18 years ago in the store window, which makes it even more valuable to me. But then of course the museum wants to keep it in a dark basement because they think it is something historical and that old robots can't even be touched because they are just that completely holy and rare than no one should be allowed to breathe around it. The truth is that old robots are as valuable as any other old gear from the 1980's, and anyone can paint them, modify them, and do whatever the hell they want to them, because they are just not as historical and holy as the museum think they are, especially the Modulus robot that is so historical that no one on the whole planet even knew about it before I wrote about it. It is only worth a lot to me for the reason stated above. Geez frekking monkeyballs...

"Facepalm", an act performed when something is way too stupid to describe with words. I received my long awaited HERO 1 robot last saturday and was very happy with that. It looked to be in very good order with what appeared to be factory assembled circuit boards that somehow got their way in there even though only the ETW-18 should contain these and mine is an ET-18 robot, so it looked like everything should work fine. The main drive bracket that got smashed under shipping was easily banged back straight, and the wires that fell off from it were soldered back on again, then I finally got to do some tinkering and manual step crossing off myself when installing a brand new unused memory expansion board with all the extra ROMs. After that was done, I installed the four new batteries I had bought earlier, switched him on, and he said "Ready", which was a good sign that at least my memory expansion installation had succeeded. Strangely enough none of the motors for the main drive or the arm worked at all when they were supposed to do so, so I thought something was probably wrong somewhere, resulting in inspections of circuit boards and reading of manuals for several days. Nothing seemed to be wrong at all with any of the circuit boards that control the movement, and both the arm and the main drive have nothing much in common apart from a fuse that was also fine. A whole lot more time went away routing ICs and things like that until I almost gave up and thought that the only reason these two separate drives would not work would have to be if they didn't get any power from the shared motor batteries, so I checked with those. And as my stupid luck would have it, one of the battery terminals was disconnected! All that fiddling and checking circuit boards and manuals for days just to finally realize the battery wasn't even connected! Damn that made me feel like a stupid git right there, the battery was the last thing I suspected was the problem, and it was the simplest problem there could be in such a robot. Holy chicken-nuggets... But on another note, the man who sold me an RB5X robot sent over some photos of the robot, and as the photos revealed, this is the older third version from 1983 that seems to be really rare these days, which is good in a way since I actually like the looks of this one better than the fourth version, but this third version doesn't have many of the features from the newest fourth version and might not even have a voice synthesis. Still I believe I read online somewhere that the third version did have voice synthesis, but then again I also believe I read online somewhere that it didn't have voice synthesis, so that's busting my noodles right now. Hopefully it will be possible to buy a voice synthesis card for it separate and also attach the arm option to the robot even though this robot might be older than the arm option itself. Well it's nice to have an RB5X anyway, and I'm starting to get a lot of these big guys now. Many small robots have been purchased also in the shape of Hexbug Nano robots, and they are sure neat little critters that scurry around everywhere and in their habitats. I wanted to collect them all before when I thought there would be only 30 of them, then I discovered there would be 150 of them instead, but that didn't seem to stop me at all since after calculating the cost of all 150 Nanos, the cost would actually be a lot less than what I had paid for one large robot anyway, only this time I would get 150 tiny little robotic bugs in a big robot habitat instead, which is pretty neat in itself. Today I bought the last of the available Nanos, meaning that I now own all of them until they release new ones again, which should probably just be five more bugs at the same time, so it will cost no more than to subscribe to a magazine each month anyway. Not only do I own all of the currently released Nanos, but after buying the last habitat set with two extra Nanos, they filled in my robot list to the number of 50, so I now own exactly 50 robots in various shapes and sizes. Well that might sound strange to you, but you know, I barely care.

Log - 20 November 2010 - HERO 1 arrived.

2010-11-20T07:40:00.000-08:00

Not long ago I received a few more Hexbug Nano robots and a specimen case for them and had lots of fun seeing these little critters run around. I asked the man who sold me a HERO 1 robot earlier if he had sent it yet, and he told me he had in fact sent it and expected me to receive it this week. The week passed away into the now present weekend, and I went into the post office to see if something or the other had arrived, then I saw a huge box and thought that might just be it, then a package deliverance card was found in my postbox, featuring the name of the man who sold me the HERO 1 robot, so it was of course this robot in the big box I saw earlier. I put the large box into the side seat of the car so I could open it slightly to see the robot a little bit, but when doing that it only spewed out those tasty-looking foam blocks anyway so I couldn't really see a thing. Getting into a large crowded mall made me realize that my recently diagnosed brain illness had gotten worse, so I didn't really know what to do and walked around there like a frightened cat trying to find an exit. Eventually it got better, but not much anyway. Not really sure what to do about this illness, but at least getting big robots to tinker around with makes a few things better, therefore I'm sure the Modulus robot that is very important to me for personal reasons could make me a lot better if I once found one. Still I was told I would get that robot this year, but that doesn't seem to happen since the only one I know of is at a museum that wishes to keep it stored away and keep it for the purpose that they believe it is a historical robot, but really it is not historical at all as a failed project that no one really knew about before I went in and wrote about it on Wikipedia and such pages. Later today I bought a new 6 disk collectors box with the director's cut of the movie Avatar. I was going to buy this movie in the 3D version but thought what the hell since it would be a long time until I would get to watch that 3D version anyway since I would need an expensive 3D TV and a player for this format, so watching the new longer director's cut will do just fine in the meanwhile. Back home I unpacked my new HERO 1 robot that I have waited for in a long time. I noticed that it had been smashed against the ground at some point, bending the mounting brackets for two of the wheels, but I screwed it apart and banged the sucker all straight again, then I reassembled it and installed the new and unused memory expansion card into it with more ROMs and RAMs to do make it do plenty more things than it originally could. Also this is the first log in which I have featured a photo and will most likely add more to the old ones to make them look a little more interesting, not that anyone bothers to read these damn logs anyway, the real reason why I write all these things down is to later find out when I in fact received the HERO 1 robot and things like that, and I could also read a few things from my past when becoming my older self in the future, unless an alligator eats me first or something.

Log - 13 November 2010 - RB5X acquired.

2010-11-13T07:24:00.000-08:00

Not long ago I received an e-mail from a person who had acquired an original RB5X robot from 1983 and wanted to sell it. He had seen on my website that I was looking for one and contacted me about it before putting it on eBay, so I thanked him for that since I once lost another RB5X auction on eBay some while back. What he had sounded very good, being the original robot instead of the later ones, including the charger and documents in the original robot box even. This was a robot I really wanted to get some time, but was not sure when that would be since the man who sell them today is very occupied with many things, so occupied that he has in fact closed down the website where the robots were sold from. Also he is the man who sold me a HERO 1 robot that I have not yet received since he told me he would be far to busy to get it shipped right away and asked if I wanted a refund instead, but I told him I would rather get the robot than a refund anyway, so am still waiting patiently. In fact tomorrow it is one year ago since I bought the HERO 1 robot. And back to the point would be that since I know this seller would have no chance of selling me an RB5X robot at this time, I accepted this new offer of the original 1983 RB5X robot, so today I have bought this robot and have yet another large robot in my collection that will in the next summer get featured at a museum here, hopefully raising a lot of money by that. I have talked to the man who created the original RB5X robots back in the 1980's many times, and I believe this robot known as the first mass-produced personal robot was what sparked off the creation of the Italian personal robot named Modulus by the company Sirius, so I am very glad to own this robot now that could be said to me Modulus' father in a way. Still I have not found any Modulus robot so far, other than the one they keep in a museum here because they think it is a historical object, but in reality it is just historical enough to not be known by any robot enthusiasts at all, and no one even knew it existed. If they really knew what a historical robot was, then they would get either the first mass-produced personal robot RB5X or the later HERO robots from Heathkit.

Log - 31 October 2010 - Halloween again.

2010-10-31T16:27:00.000-07:00

Whenever I was not busy all day sewing new stuff for Halloween for myself and others, I was busy doing not so much because of a damn headache that had lasted for over a month, but today things were better and I was able to finish my own costume for this day. Earlier I had made a costume for the local museum director to look like some sort of mine-worker or whatever he was supposed to be, and that left me with just about two days to work on my own costume, and as said before, it was finished for today. Couldn't really eat much this morning, but I didn't give a damn and just went into my Xanador Nekrid costume to once again scare kids in the local mines where they have started to host an annual Halloween event where people can walk through the mines and get scared by various sick bastards in costumes. After I got my costume on, I walked down to the museum where many people thought I looked scary and whatnot, and none of them recognized me at all, apart from the museum director I had made a costume for since he had seen my costume before. Eventually everyone at the museum drove up to the mines in several cars, then they all started preparing for the people to arrive. While I was waiting myself in the whole in which I was suppose to stand, I wandered around to take photos of just about everything they had put up and also got a few photos of myself in my costume. When the people arrived after a while, not many of them had dressed up, apart from a few kids. Many kids got scared enough to start crying several times, and a few of them just started screaming that they wanted to go home and all while their parents told them to shut up. It seemed some people couldn't even tell if I was blue or green, or even if I was a guy or a girl for that damn matter, and even some kids called me Avatar just for being blue. A teacher from my old school was also there this year, only this time she knew it was me and said she thought my costume looked better this year, so that was a good thing that it did. Unfortunately the staff I had with a raindeer skull on it fell apart from all the times I banged it against the ground to scare people, so the rest of the time I just scraped the metal end of it to the stone-roof to creep people off who are afraid that the cave will collapse. But of course a creature like me likes it perfectly fine in a dark and damp old mine with scary sounds and displays everywhere. After all the people had gone through, all the people from the museum went up to the main hall where we all got lots of candy for all our work and also started to clear away the mines. Once I got out of the mine again, it was a very nice evening with lots of stars in the clear and campfires going on. I was just told to wait while some other people cleared away what was left in the caves, so I just sat down on the ground and stared at the campfires. And as irony would have it, just as I looked at the fire and looked up at the stars, thinking that this was a perfect evening, I fell right on my ass real quick but got back up again before hopefully anyone saw it. Getting home again that night was really good as far as getting to finally eat something goes.

Log - 26 October 2010 - In The Beginning.

2010-10-26T14:40:00.000-07:00

I had bought a blu-ray disc with the movie Clash Of The Titans on it that just didn't seem to work properly with a sound error and so forth, so I decided to replace it with a new one at Lasse's workplace where they also sold a MIDI keyboard that I wanted to try out. Being as I know the guy, I get discounts from him whenever buying stuff from the store he works in, so this time I bought the keyboard for a lower cost than usual and also bought a video game box with most the Tomb Raider games in it while getting to change the faulty blu-ray disc. Alas the damn blu-ray disc didn't work this time either, so possibly it has something to do with a driver or something. After installing the MIDI keyboard, I didn't understand a damn thing of the program that came with it, so I decided to purchace another music editing program that was supposedly the best called Mixcraft. After fiddling with the keyboard for a while, I got better at understanding the keys and started making the first song of my electronic space music album called In The Beginning, fitting of course to my own beginning of making music. After making the first song with the same name, I sent it over to Lasse who said it was good, so that's a good thing that it didn't completely suck. A day after I made a second song that was more advanced and tuneful, but unfortunately when I was about to send it to Lasse, one of his rats died all of a sudden for an unknown reason. Still I got to publish both songs in my website with good results. Today I was too busy with something completely different to make any new songs now that Cyrah's new hair arrived in the mail. I decided to replace her cheap synthetic hair to something more permanent that would last after I have expired and ceased to be, so what more perfect for that than a real human hair wig. I also noticed that although Cyrah was originally designed to be a green themed robot, she had turned out to be something completely different with too many colors, so to go with the black wig were a few green hair extensions to make her color theme green again now that the three others are themed to blue, red, and purple. As I look at Cyrah now with the new hair, she looks more like the mystical being I had imagined, and her expression now looks thoughtfun and mysterious for some reason.

Log - 20 October 2010 - New answers.

2010-10-20T13:39:00.000-07:00

Today I got a message in my website's guestbook from the person who wanted to help me get to buy the Modulus robot from the Technical Museum, and in the message was a reply from the museum that was different from all the other answers I had received before. Not understanding why I had gotten so many different answers, I decided to call the man in charge of the science center of the museum to hear what was going on about the robot. The answer was that they wanted to keep the robot because it was rare and historical to them, and it was not a matter of money about it at all that I could give to them. Before I thought they only wanted to have any robot in the window of their Lego robot room and that it didn't matter much to them what sort of robot it was, but now it seems they want to keep that robot for what it is, and of course to my nature I do not want to take away anything anyone wants. Still the good news about it was that if they would ever choose to part with the robot, I would be the subject who would receive it as a gift, even though I would want to donate either money or lots of other robots to them if this ever happened. Now the matter about this robot really reminds me of the movie E.T. where they are the big guys from a company that wants to keep it for what it is while I am the weird little kid who has a strange connection to the thing and want it more than anything. That robot is the only good memory I have from my early life before getting sick. Right now I am not sure what will happen, I was told by some people I know who have always been right before that I will in fact get a Modulus robot this year, but since this seems damn near impossible and the year is nearly over soon, I see no likelihood in this when I am too sick to travel to Italy to find a robot there. At least I made it into the Hand And Stars all time leaderboard at place 40 of 50 today.

First recent events would involve the relocation of the Nothosaurus model I am creating for the local museum, but so far I have not been able to do much work on it in the barn because of a damn headache I have had for over a month now without knowing the actual cause of it. A flea market was established in the town next to my own where of course fleas as they are called were sold. Being as I arrived late at the place, the people in charge said we could take anything we wanted for free since they were about to close and would throw away everything anyway, so naturally I once again stuffed several bags with clothes of various neat looking fabrics to transform into costumes and whatnot. I also tried to get as many brown old clothes as I could since the museum director of the local museum asked me if I could make a miners outfit for him for Halloween since he had nothing to wear then at all. So far I have not talked to him about it since and have no idea what to make for him. Updates on the Gynoid statues is that I have decided to replace the hair of Cyrah to real human hair because the synthetic hair seems to clutter itself on its own where it stands against the wall. I have also repainted several things on her to give her the color theme of lime-green as I had originally intended. Yesterday a package arrived with six lime-green hair extensions for her new hair. I decided to remove Cyrah's red hair because of the original lime-green color scheme and the reason that Roxena will now be the black and red Gynoid. Another flea market elsewhere was also visited, and I found a few cheap books that I wanted to buy, some of which were about the universe, dinosaurs, hypnotics, and other strange and fairly stupid stories. Today after a work meeting, I got a big desire to learn more about everything now that I had acquired a few new informative books, so I looked around in the book stores that were there and found many discount sale books with information about just about everything I want to know. Unfortunately my chronic brain illness that makes life generally suck is the reason why I became too sick to finish school, so I barely know anything about anything, which is the reason why I am trying to soak up as much information as possible right now. Having an IQ of 150 is really not that useful when I don't know anything, but so far it seems many geniuses did quite well without much education, and so far I have only learned about things by my own by looking at things and understanding them, giving me a new understanding about what time really is, how colors work, and all that stuff. Maybe one day I will be able to prove my new time theory that will destroy all other time theories from before, plus I would also really like to see my new engine design work as a prototype. If this design works, there will be no need for fuels for it at all, and it will save the Earth and make me damn well famous, theoretically, that is.

As a resolvement to the problem that the fiberglass resin eats away the styrofoam used to shape the Nothosaurus model I am building for a museum, the best way to isolate the styrofoam completely was to wrap it all in plastic film. Heating this thin plastic film gently will make it shrink further onto the styrofoam. The appliance of fiberglass over this plastic film covered styrofoam was a big success, only now the weather is too cold and wet to work in, so I might have to move the dinosaur to another location. On another day when I was going to a meeting, I went to the postal office first to pick up a package that I thought would contain the Hexbug Nano starter set that I bought earlier, but when I asked to get the package, it turned out to be a really big box with robot parts instead for the HERO-1 robot I had also bought. After the meeting was over, I hurried back home with the huge box and opened it with as much joy as only a robot enthusiast can get by such things. The rest of the robot will be sent later because of some size restriction laws for the box and things like that, but the seller has now found a smaller box and will ship it all soon. Later I did receive my little Nano bot and thought it was a much amusing little critter as it scurried around on the floor like a living little bug, almost made me say "no, don't go back there, come here!".

2010-09-28T13:21:00.001-07:00

Today I woke up really early for some reason and could not sleep again. The harddrive that I ordered seemed to have been driven out by a postal car according to the tracking number, but it did not arrive at the usual time at the post office, so I didn't know what was going on. The people at the post office said they needed some sort of payment bill or something for the package before they could give it to me, but later in the day the tracking number said the package had arrived, and I did not need any papers or anything to get it, but I did have to pay a customs fee. Now that I had my new pocket media harddrive, I started copying over all the files from my other harddrive, but this took really long since the USB in the pocket media slot was still 1.0 for some strange reason even though the computer is new. I am now copying files through an external USB 2.0 cable instead. Today I shaped the fingers of the Nothosaurus model and tried to apply the fiberglass on one of the fingers to later discover that the resin actually eats away the Styrofoam. I thought this could be solved if I sealed the Styrofoam with some sort of goop like woodglue, but that stuff takes ages to dry now. Ironically today was the first time I made an actual painting, and it was a conceptual painting of Roxena the robot woman who I will start building soon. Painting this made me realize that acrylic paint dries really fast, so using this as a protective coat on the Styrofoam would also let me see easily if the whole piece is covered or not if I use a black paint or something similar. Tomorrow I will try this and hopefully it will work.

2010-09-20T05:00:00.000-07:00

I had been searching for a blu-ray disc player for a while until I decided to buy one online that was cheaper than buying it from the only store who sell them anyway, and after stuffing it into my new computer, I watched the Avatar movie in full HD, which looked really good, just like being there watching everything. Something strange happened to the external harddrive that I use to store all my photos and important files in, and the computer said it had to be formatted or something, so I unplugged it and let it rest for a while until I could find something to use as backup for the harddrive. I never really liked burning CD's since you always have to re-burn everything when you get more photos, so I searched online to see what the fudge a HP pocket media drive was, and it turned that they are small portable harddrive cassettes that I can just stuff into a slot in my computer and copy everything, so that was absolutely perfect as a backup device for my important files. I bought one at 500GB since this is the size of the harddrive anyway. I didn't find anything interesting at all at the big market I was on lately, just bought another cheap puzzle game to entertain my brain with. Another note that is quite interesting is that someone now wants to help me get the Modulus robot somehow, though I don't know who this person is or how said person would help me, but still it's good with some help. What will happen next, I do not know, but I would need something good to happen soon now that I am falling back into the state that almost killed me the last time. On to working on the dinosaur model again, trying to finish it this month.

Today it would be nine years ago since the two World Trade Center buildings were explodified by a flock of evil bastards who highjacked a couple of planes, and damn what a bad thing that was. Sure it is easy for those who were not directly affected to think that two tall buildings collapsed, but really they were full of people who unfortunately did not make it. And to put a giant turd on top of all that, another flock of muslims are trying to build a friggin temple of sorts right nearby where the towers collapsed. Inconciderate bastards, but still we should not think badly about everyone who are muslims as I know some very nice ones myself, you should all rather just push your hate towards those assholes who were crazy and brainwashed enough to do such evil things. Something else personal for me that is of course not as evil but still very annoying is the matter about the Technical Museum and the Modulus robot that they keep. I was asked by the local museum here to build a 4,8 meter long Nothosaurus model and accepted the offer and started building it. I thought the director of the museum should know about museum laws and such, so I asked him if it was true that museums can't sell things, which of course he said no to. That was just as I thought that it was all a lie that they cannot sell the Modulus robot to me. I have searched online for a long time for such a mention of the law, and all I have found were articles about museums actually sellings things, not that they were not allowed to. When I asked to buy Modulus the first time, the man I talked to simply said they could not sell it because it was a gift, nothing more, then after asking the person who gave it to them, he said it was alright for him if they sold it to me. Asking the museum again with the endorsement from the man who gave it to them, this time the man said they could not sell it in general since there were certain rules about selling museum objects, something I now know was not true at all. The robot itself was not a museum object, it was simply a window display for their robot room that had nothing to do with Modulus what so ever since it is meant for playing with Lego robots. I told them that in almost my whole shitty life I have searched for this robot and have had a really bad time doing so, but still they won't sell it even though they barely know anything about it. Still not well enough to travel to Italy to find one there.

2010-08-17T04:55:00.000-07:00

A few days ago, I bought myself a new mini version of the Sega Megadrive game console that had 15 games already built into it, one of them being Golden Age that I used to play a lot in the earlier days. Two days ago, I came along on a trip to the geological and zoological museums in the city where I got to see a fossil of the Nothosaurus that I am soon to build for the local stone museum. Many other dinosaur fossils and animals were on display also, so I took photos of mostly everything inside the museums. Yesterday the robot woman Sheera was finally completed after having spray painted her forearms, and she turned out looking really cool indeed and much like what I was planning her to look like. Only one day after finishing her, a package arrived in the mail today containing the parts for the next robot woman Roxena that I decided to build a short while ago. I don't really know why I was to build four of these, but mostly things happen for a reason here, so who knows what it will lead into.

Log - 09 August 2010 - Nothosaurus.

2010-08-09T05:28:00.000-07:00

A few days ago, I came along on a vacation trip to the mountains of Norway, and later on that trip we drove to a stone museum since I didn't have a camera the last time we were there and wanted to get some nice photos from that place this time. After taking photos of all sorts of cool glowing rocks and petrified things, I walked to a room where there were many different hand carved stone objects and thought I should look for a nice looking stone chess set, but didn't find one. Later in the same room, I saw many authentic fossils of all sorts of creatures and actual jaw bones and tusks from Mammoths for a surprizingly low cost. Since I had been asked earlier by the local stone and mining museum here if I wanted to build them a full size model of a Nothosaurus, I looked around for anything related to this creature and discovered a book with a good painting of it along with the name that I now learned properly since I was told earlier it was called Nautosaurus or something like that. After taking some photos from that book, I overheard some kids in the room that were talking about a chess board that was supposedly there, so I looked around more and finally discovered it in a place I had actually gone straight by before. The board and chess pieces were hand carved out of really nice stone and were housed in a blue velvet lined box with hinges and whatnot, then I discovered that the board was actually really cheap and cost just as much as any other regular wooden chess set, so I decided to buy it quick before somebody else did. The woman behind the counter said she had another one in red with different colored pieces, but actually the blue one I wanted looked better this time even though I normally like red. The blue board just seemed more royal in a way and more expensive. After the trip, I got to talk some more to the director of the local stone museum about the Nothosaurus I had seen a painting of, and we discussed things about the pose and size and so forth. Two days ago I bought most of the things required to build the full size model, such as fiberglass sheets, resin, bondo and a few tools. Being the first time I have had such a project, I had really nothing to go by for reference, so I went on a trip to a museum in the city that had a Nothosaurus fossil hanging in the stairway, but that didn't help me very much anyway, so I asked the knowledgeful people at the Replica Prop Forum for help, and sure enough I got many replies already. Also today I got a reply back from the woman who was selling a black mannequin that I thought would fit well for another Gynoid robot named Roxena since the factory who made it was ironically named Roxy Display, and so it came to me purchasing it today. Sheera is also finished soon, but so far this workroom is full of stuff on the floor that I need to put into crates, so when my parents needed to borrow some money from me for new tiles for their bathroom, I came along with them with the money for a chance to buy a few more boxes for my junk. After buying the tiles and driving them back to their house, we drove to another place where I just about made it in time to buy the boxes before the store closed. Later I got to clear away my work area and started building on Sheera again.

Log - 30 July 2010 - Roxena Gynoid.

2010-07-30T16:49:00.000-07:00

Now that things have become better, I have been able to climb around more on buildings and so forth while also being able to work more with my projects. As of now the third Gynoid robot named Sheera is almost done with glowing blue eyes and dark blue fluffy hair, all that is left to finish are her arms, but of course it's been raining for almost a week now, preventing any further work to be done. Other than that I have been around many places to see things and also got to buy some neat things like a realistic looking toy crossbow that will be repainted for my Gordon Freeman costume, a small painting set, a very small chess board, a bunch of new movies, and even a really cool 3D poster of Darth Vader from the sixth Star Wars movie. Strangely enough while driving around that day when I bought most of those things, an idea suddenly popped into my mind in the image of a black and red Gynoid robot, even though I have only finished one of three so far. Even stranger than that was that her name Roxena also came suddenly to my mind, so later I decided to search around in stores and on the Internet to see if I could find a female mannequin that looked like the Gynoid robot I had seen. None could be found in any stores, even though I went to the main supplier of mannequins to buy a calf spigot for Zenia's base, but later I found a Norwegian auction site where someone was selling off a black faceless mannequin for a low price since they did not have room for it, so that was a strange coincidence that there was such a mannequin that was black already like the Gynoid I had seen, but still I was not sure if it was a good idea to buy yet another mannequin to turn into a robot woman statue now that I've got three already in my collection named Cyrah, Zenia, and Sheera, so I waited a few days to see if any more weird signs showed up, and sure as hell I noticed red and black objects everywhere and later decided to search the Internet to see who had made that black mannequin, and as if strange things hadn't happened already, the result of my search showed me that the mannequin was made by a company called Roxy Display. That was a good enough sign for me that I was supposed to buy that black Roxy Display mannequin to turn it into a black and red Gynoid named Roxena, so today I bought some cool color angle changing wires for her and told the seller that I had decided to buy the mannequin. Soon this workroom will get filled with so many robots and costumes that I will have to start placing them in the yard or something.

The last event I was at with the Nordic Garrison was a very nice one and went very well for the two days I was there. Though my health should have improved by such an event, instead it became gradually worse after this for an unexplainable reason. I have been sick for a long time before this with many fluctuations, but this time everything got worse. As the regular state in this period, my head felt constantly heavy and dizzy, I had difficulties breathing, my heart very much hurt and had irregular pulse going way too rapidly, and everything else seemed to shut down. During this bad period, I somehow felt that the Modulus robot at the Technical Museum had been removed, then I realized later that this was in fact true when I was supposed to visit it with a woman I know. Being nearly dead already, seeing it was gone made my health even worse to the near death state and things had to be done to prevent this. Many of my friends became worried also when they heard about it, but I did not tell all of them since I was too busy preparing everything here for the possibility of death. Later although my arms and legs almost did not work anymore, I walked into the forest for a very long period to try and get better in there, though I do not remember much of this because of my mind's state, but I do remember that I ended up in a town far away in the middle of the road where I wandered further without caring what would happen. After crawling around on the forest floor for several hours, I found my way back home where I have no idea what happened, or what happened after what I don't remember happened. I asked several of the people I know who have knowledge about strange things what the hell was going on, and though one of them didn't seem to care and thought it all was strange, I got at least one of these good friends to resolve it all in a way I probably should not write here, the log is weird enough already. At the present state, everything seems to be going smoothly, I am reading about electronics and robotics, thinking about the future, and my health is about the inverted of what it was like previosly, making it possible for me to run around on walls and climb on buildings again. Smoothly as it goes now, many good things have happened recently and getting better, even resulting in me finally finding the I-Que robot that I have searched for a long time, getting to purchase it to finally own it today, hopefully getting it in the mail soon. A very nice state it is now where most regular things seem twice as nice as before, driving through the city and petting sheep among all was very nice. Possibly I will soon also find the girl some of my sources told me about, who's name will start with the letter R. Don't really know many names by this letter, but at least she will be completely awesome and also likes costumes like me, so they say. Hopefully she will not become jealous of the three robot women I have built here, as far as I can remember, I had two relationships while building the first one without them minding it. Soon the third one named Sheera will also be complete.

2010-05-30T14:41:00.000-07:00

On the first day of this event, it was raining quite a lot, and I even came too late, but it seems the others came around the same time as me anyway while some had been there earlier and walked around in the malls. The changing room was the same as last year, but this time there were more people there hired to dress up as Shrek and other such characters. While most of us were still changing into our costumes, SL-6279 unfortunately ripped a hole through the jumpsuit of her Mara Jade costume, so TB-3444 became the Imperial tapesman this time and fixed her costume up again with black ducttape, and it was a good thing she was wearing a long cape too. After I had put on my Snowtrooper costume, we started walking around the main area of the festival since the troopers had decided not to put up our photostand this year, something that all of us liked very much since we could walk around as we wished instead. As usual many people wanted their photos taken with us again when we walked around. Eventually myself, Captain Rex, and Mara Jade started walking around the mall where one of our supporters Therese was following us with a film camera and filmed us walking around, doing silly things in the stores. Later in the day, it was time for us to get on stage to tell about our costumes and Star Wars to the audience, but it was still raining quite badly, so the whole audience was about 7 children and some of their parents. We got a few questions from the audience, and the man behind the festival kept calling the movies Star War with most references from Star Trek. The rest of the day we just walked around until it was time to leave again. The next day the weather was much better, resulting in an even larger crowd of people who wanted their photos taken with us. The malls were closed on this Sunday, so we tried to have as much fun as we could in the main festival area by duelling with laser swords and letting the kids shoot us with nerf-guns. While I was walking around the place with Jango Fett, a few annoying teenagers started pushing my costume's buttons and were generally annoying, so Jango Fett started running towards them and pointed his finger angrily at them, looking really scary and evil, and it was the most awesome thing I had seen in a long time. When it was time for us to get on stage again, more people were in the audience this time because the weather had cleared, then we got to tell about our costumes and got a few questions again. Later on stage, we started handing out Star Wars toys that the kids could win if they had the right lottery number, and sure enough the kids who liked Star Wars didn't win and the kids who didn't even know what Star Wars was got all the good stuff. After we had done trooping for the day, most of the others ended the day with a barbeque in Therese's yard.

First I suppose I would have to write about other previous events that have occurred, such being that I finished the face of my new gynoid robot statue named Sheera, and for some reason when using the beauty scale tools to form her face, her lips turned out looking like Angelina Jolie's lips, so good for her that it means they are officially beautiful. I also bought a really nice glass chess board with glass pieces since I wanted to have a nice big board as the main board now that I seem to have many other chess boards of various shapes and sizes. I even did my first check mate against my new chess computer board, so at least I am improving. An interest in finishing my Gordon Freeman costume came again after seeing some images from the new video game Black Mesa, and then I realized that since I want to have photos of this costume at every major event from the video game, I would also have to have his work clothes for the beginning of the game and thought that I might as well buy the necessary clothes for this since it would be cheap anyway, and I've always wanted a lab coat too for some reason. Two days ago I got the idea to take my bicycle for a ride many miles away to the next town where they used to sell used clothes in a store of used things, but as my luck would have it, the store did not sell any clothes at all anymore, then I thought that I might as well get some money from the bank while I was there, but as my luck would have it again, my paycheck had not even arrived yet for some strange reason even though that was the day it should come. Taking my bicycle back home again, I wondered what the purpose of that whole trip was when not finding anything, so I took the long way back through the forest mountains in hope that I would find something there. After I had biked around for some while, I noticed that the road there that consisted of only compressed rubble looked very good as a background for my Mandalorian boots that I had tried to find a background for, and as luck would have it in a good way this time, I was actually wearing these boots and was able to get the required photos of them in the middle of the road. Of course a few cars had to come when I had one photo left, and my socks got pretty dirty too. Being pleased with the new photos, I biked further home until I saw a few remaining piles of snow that I thought I could photograph as backgrounds for my Snowtrooper's E-11 blaster rifle since I will most likely be finished with that after the snow disappears. I brushed off all the debris from the largest snow pile and photographed it, then biked back home. Yesterday my mother had to work again, so my father asked me if I wanted to come along to pick her up, then I thought that this might be a good chance to get to somewhere I could find the clothes I could not find the day before that, so I came along. After picking her up, we drove around to find the mall I knew had a store selling cheap clothes, then after finding the mall, I actually found all the clothes I was looking for. Having only the shoes left to buy, we drove to another mall where I did not find any shoes anyway, so later I was just sitting at home and preparing my new clothes. Today I pressed the pants for the costume with much success, then I wanted to make the I.D. badge for the shirt but did not have any high resolution textures of the badges from the video game, so I searched around the internet for a while until I found high resolution models of the scientists and security guards from Black Mesa. The new texture files of the badges were clear this time and a new badge was made for Dr. Gordon Freeman with my photo on it as him. I found an old card and some glossy paper that I printed the badge on, then it turned out very good when assembled. Later today I also got a package containing an extremely rare chain type that was used for the Darth Vader costume in the third Star Wars movie, and it looked very good. Unfortunately this chain is no longer manufactured, and I bought the second last length of chain, so if you want to get a completely accurate cape chain for your Darth Vader costume, the seller only has one length left until there is no more chain like this on the face of the earth.

Log - 15 May 2010 - The third name.

2010-05-15T15:25:00.000-07:00

Ever since I bought yet another body template for a third gynoid robot, I wanted to find a name for it that would fit with both the look of the robot and the names of the other two robots, but nothing seemed to fit for it. In the beginning I thought about making the name start with S, but it seemed all names I found with this letter meant something that was bound to a religion and so forth, so I decided to go with Sherah which didn't mean anything religious, but it did look too much like Cyrah and therefore didn't fit. Later I thought about Sheela since that looked different, but of course that also had something to do with a religion. Long after that I suddenly realized that the first name written differently as Sheera would work since it had nothing to do with religion and didn't look like any of the other names either, plus it also sounded the same as Sherah. So now the third gynoid robot that I am building will be named Sheera. Many cans of metallic blue spray paint and large crates of bondo were bought for this project, along with a couple of metallic blue tinsel wigs, so it should look pretty cool in the end. Cyrah was also worked on a bit to modify her, now having eyes that glow in the dark and other things. Today I bought a chess computer that was on a discount. I saw it earlier in another store, but when I was about to buy it, they were sold out, so fortunately I found just the same board today and got to try it also. It was very nice to play chess with an internal microcomputer. So far my other old microcomputers still won't work for some reason, so I will have to try fix them further to make them work with my old robots, possibly revealing how to control the arm of my new Modulus service and security robot. Still I have not gotten any reply about the letter that I sent to the man who's company once made the Modulus robots, so either he has not yet read it or is simply just not giving a damn about it. Theoretically it should be the right man when finding only one address to that name that also resides in the city where I believe the right man works too, but perhaps he hates the whole robot project since it made his company go bankrupt and doesn't want to have anything more to do with it. Still the Modulus robot means a lot to me and has been about the only thing in my bad life that has inspired me to get back on the horse and try to make robots like I always wanted from a young age, but with my luck I will probably not get to do anything about this at all and will have to wander around in the forest until my skin turns blue and my hair turns white.

2010-05-08T14:25:00.000-07:00

I usually check many things that are supposedly psychic to get a little heads up about what will happen, some being either simple horoscopes or even people I know that can see things. This time I was told that I would find some sort of fortune with the letters E and B, so naturally I thought that this meant I would find something exciting at the very big market at Ekeberg. Another source told me that I would indeed buy something today, something that I would actually not want to buy at first, being warned not to do any impulse buying, then I would later this day be happy about what I had bought. I was really hoping to find a Modulus robot at this market, but this was not something I would not want to buy right away, so assumed that I would not find one. I was also told that I would be annoyed in the morning, and so I was since I got a headache, then I was told that there would be some small issue about money that later was revealed to be that my father wanted to borrow money from me. I searched through the whole market carefully to see if I could find Modulus or something else interesting, ignoring all the other things that I really wanted to buy because of the warning I got not to do any impulse buying. A golden chess board and many swords got my interest at first, but after a while I finally found something good that I really wanted. I had found a Commodore 64 computer that was supposedly in working condition according to the seller, so I bought it from him in hopes that it would actually work now that this is the third Commodore 64 computer I have bought to get one working that I can connect to my Modulus and HERO robots. It seemed strange to me that all these predictions were only about the Commodore 64 computer, so I walked around some more to see if I could find anything, but in the end I couldn't really find anything that I really wanted, so I decided to walk back to a display mannequin that someone were selling. After I bought the female mannequin that I turned into the robot woman Cyrah, I searched a long time to find the manufacturers of the mannequin without any luck, so wanted to look at the female mannequin at the market to see if there were any markings on that. At first I thought it was not from the same company at all since it looked newer and smaller with a glass base, but after I had talked to the seller for some while, I took one of the arms off and saw that the mannequin was actually from the same company with the same joint couplings, only this time the factory had also molded their company logo into the parts, so I finally got a solid clue about where the mannequin came from after seeing this logo which I believe is an older logo from the company called New John Nissen. My father asked the seller how much he wanted to sell it for, and he was willing to sell it for half the price he had started with since so many people had told him to buy it but never did, so now I had found the item I was warned about not to buy out of impulse. I only wanted to look at it to find a factory name on it, but at the moment it seemed almost as if I had to buy it since people told me I would regret it if I didn't and all such things, but still I did not really want to buy it since I barely have the room for my collection already. My logic told me anyway that since I was predicted that I would purchase something I did not want that I would be happy I purchased later on, this could only mean that I would buy this mannequin, then I remembered the picture I had seen in my mind some while ago that I would actually end up building three robot women and that this was a feeling I have had for a while that I would have three of them, so in the end I just bought the damn thing after all. Carrying such a thing through a large market with many many people would of course not be interesting, and even some moronic teenagers commented behind our backs that we had bought a nice Christmas gift for someone and later asked out loud why the hell we had bought that thing. Of course not every female human shaped object was made to stick a persons twig into, but that seems to be the only thing moronic teenagers can think about. Also this reminds me that I will have to write a thought article about this matter with my robotic women now that several people have commented such stupid things. Later when I came home, my head was filled with various ideas about this new addition to my robot women collection, and strangely enough the picture I foresaw of all three together showed that this newest smaller one would become metallic blue with shoulder long blue hair with bangs, but further details will be made later on.

Log - 06 May 2010 - New drawing pad.

2010-05-06T12:21:00.000-07:00

I had planned to wait for the Star Wars saga to come on Blu-ray before buying any Blu-ray films, but since the new Avatar movie had come in such a version where it contained both the Blu-ray version and the DVD version, I thought that I might as well buy the Blu-ray version of the movie since I would most likely have bought it later on when having decided to buy all the most important movies in this media format, so it would seem that the movie Avatar is my very first Blu-ray video. I had wanted for a while to contact the man who founded the company Sirius where the Modulus robots were made to ask him what he thought about the creation of a new version of Modulus, so I decided to send him a letter, or at least I sent a letter to the only address I could find to his name, so in theory it should be him when there is only one address with this name in the Italian city Milan where I believe both the company Sirius and Isao Hosoe Design Studio were located, plus I believe he also works there today, so hopefully he will receive my letter and give me a reply. Of course I am not looking for a definite yes right away about this, but wanted to ask him what he simply thought about the whole idea of the re-creation of Modulus, then hopefully we could talk more about it if he likes the idea. It would also seem that my one sibling got another child yesterday that we were to visit today, so now she has two boys to raise. Most likely they will not grow up to be Star Wars fans or robot fans, but at least I've got enough stuff here to show them of those things when they get older. After we had seen the newly delivered human being, I wanted to check the store Toys "R" Us if they had any new figures or something from the new movie Avatar, but they did not have any, but still I knew that another store nearby were at least selling an electronic drawing pad for computers that seemed very good, so I bought one of those to use for various editing and painting graphics on my computer.

After figuring out that the 22 inch long model kit of the U.S.S. Enterprise would be the one that would best fit my wishes, I purchased one of those. I also wanted to make this model kit more accurate than what is possible with the model kit on its own, so today I decided to purchase a bunch of replacement parts and decals for the model kit. Earlier I wanted to incorporate a few details and features from Star Trek onto my new Android Zenia since I just became a Star Trek fan and am having a very good time being one, then I thought that the best way to do so would be to use the actual leftover parts and decals from the Enterprise kit now that I have bought new replacements for those. Today I finished a template sheet with Zenia's body from all four sides that I can print out several times to draw designs onto without having to draw her body four times over again if the design doesn't turn out good. I started drawing designs on one of the sheets today, and it actually turned out pretty good after a few alterations, and of course I designed it with a few decals and such from my Enterprise kit that will also look good on her. Other than that there was a really good Heathkit HERO 2000 robot set on eBay now that I really wanted, but of course since it was an auction, there are many people bidding on the thing, so bidding on it myself to a high price to then later pay for the shipping which will be maybe more than the price of the robot would definitely require a lot of money, therefore I decided to just wait for another HERO 2000 robot auction with a "buy it now" button.

2010-04-15T15:28:00.000-07:00

Yesterday it would appear that I was born about 22 years ago, so this was slightly celebrated by receiving some money and ice cream, plus getting many congratulations from my friends. I was hoping to receive my new U.S.S. Enterprise model kit in the mail on that day, but it seems it arrived today instead, so after having brought it home from the mail office, I prepared all the parts for assembly, but will wait to assemble it to when I get new accurate parts for it. Not much else happened these two days, but at least being a new Star Trek fan with a new Enterprise kit feels pretty good right now, and I have a feeling that everything will turn out better at this age. Strangely enough it felt like I had been 21 years old for a really really long time before this.

Log - 10 April 2010 - Android parts.

2010-04-10T10:48:00.000-07:00

In my last log, I wrote about how confused I was about my new Android Zenia's body because it turned out to be a lot larger than what I originally wanted for her after I bought it, so I wondered if I should buy a new body for her instead that I had seen in an Internet auction. Even though this body was smaller, it was also younger in the sense that it is not fully developed to look womanly, so I would have to do a lot of work on that body to make it look like a woman instead of a small girl. Wondering what she would look like with the new larger body I had bought for her, I made a drawing of her that way, and actually it looked very good indeed, but then again she also did look like a really big assassin Android that could easily kill any human on approach, so I still wasn't sure about her new body. I noticed later that a movie I have here featured a woman called Elektra that actually had a very similar body type to what Zenia would have with the large body, so I decided to watch it on my portable DVD player to contemplate what to do next. After having seen the movie, I thought that even though Zenia would look like a really big assassin Android, maybe that's not so bad after all. She is meant to have lights everywhere and glowing eyes too, so she will probably look totally awesome in the end also. Now that I finally decided to keep her new body, I wanted to buy all the parts needed to give her enough joints to pose her in any way for her photos, so I went to a store named Jula where I spent over one kilomoney on just about anything that could turn and swivel. Most her joints will be made of small black speaker holders that can hold up to several kilograms, though the package said they could hold up to 8 kilograms, the store said 5, the manual said both 3 and 15, so I have no idea what so ever how much they can hold up. Still since Zenia's body is made of very light fiberglass, they will all hopefully work fine. I started to first make the joints for the head to finally see what she would look like as a full figure, and it actually looked pretty darn cool, then I started finishing the surface of her head and so forth. Today I bought even more things for her, including spray bondo that will fill in all the small cracks in the surface and such, and also bought a crate full of old G.I. Joe toy parts to use on Zenia to make her look more robot like. When my new model kit of the U.S.S. Enterprise arrives, I will also use parts from that on Zenia since I wanted something Star Trek related on her because of my new fandom of Star Trek. Also since I bought parts from G.I. Joe toys, I wanted to buy that movie today and also found the limited edition DVD of Michael Jackson's latest movie This Is It, plus some other movies that I wanted. Other than that I've edited some new photos of Cyrah and will probably watch some more Star Trek episodes now to get to the episode with the tribbles, now that I bought a fluffy pillow to make a couple of those from today.

Log - 26 March 2010 - Confusing crap.

2010-03-26T18:26:00.000-07:00

Last night I sat up late to solve the maze inside my small Addict'A'Ball, and after a while managed to complete it. Today a ghost whoke me up by knocking down a bag of bamboo flutes, or it might have just fallen down on it's own, then I went upstairs to find my cat was full of mud and crap and wondered if he had been run over or something, but since he ran as usual to get food, he probably just rolled around in some crap somewhere. I brought him down to the shower to wash him off, and there was brown water everywhere because of that. After he was washed clean again, I took a photo of how small he looked when wet, then dried him off with a towel and a blowdryer. Recently I've been checking out some horoscopes and talking to some of my sources about my future girlfriend since I've been told so many different things lately, such things included that yesterday was supposedly going to be a good day where I would get a surprise, and something else about the color yellow and a woman as if that would mean anything. Also as bad luck would have it, one of my other sources said today that I would find a new girlfriend whose name starts with A, and to make that worse, there's a K in the picture even though I promised myself to never get together with my evil old fiancée Andrea Katerin again. Still this is pretty strange since I was also told that this time I will actually find a girlfriend with a name starting with R and has something to do with the number 12, so I will continue my search for this R girl instead of talking to that evil girl again. I still don't get why I was supposed to find a girl who's name starts with M and has something to do with the number 20 since that is a girl I now know named Mattika who I will not become together with under no chance in hell, so I really don't know anymore. All I know is that whoever I will eventually marry will have brown skin and black hair with two red highlights on the right side of her head and three on the other side for some reason, so hopefully that is not Andrea Katerin with the proper highlights this time, but whatever A, K, R, and M means, I have no damn idea. Today was also a very annoying day for me when trying to figure out what to do with Zenia's new body. Originally she was supposed to be smaller than my first Android Cyrah, but after buying a new body for Zenia, it turned out that she is actually taller and larger than Cyrah, being most likely even taller than me when she is finished, and I am 6 foot, 3 inches tall. I searched for a new body for her on the Internet and actually found a not so expensive one that had the size I originally wanted for Zenia, so that really confused me a lot whether I should buy the small body and sell the large one or just use the large one anyway. To see how it would become with the large body, I made a drawing of Zenia's ned body with her head also on it, and it actually looked pretty darn good. In the end, maybe having a really tall Android with glowing eyes and all the other light effects will be really cool anyway.

2010-03-22T17:35:00.001-07:00

Captain's log, stardate 3022,1 - I have recently become more and more interested in the whole Star Trek saga as I watch more of the episodes, and I just don't know what I like most anymore, so I'll just say that I like Star Wars and Star Trek just as much and have it end with that. Also I figured out after having watched Star Trek episodes today that it was William Shatner's birthday today, so I hope he had a good one. For those of you who don't know, William Shatner was the actor who played captain James T. Kirk of the starship Enterprise in the original Star Trek series and some of the movies after that. After watching Star Trek, I just got this big urge to buy a model kit of the Enterprise, so naturally I turned to the geniuses at the Replica Prop Forum for help. They told me about several options for a good model kit, but that none of them were really that accurate, still they could be added to with custom created parts from the internet to make them more accurate. They also told me about a new kit that would arrive soon that was in fact accurate, but 33 inches long. That size was actually too big for my plans, so I decided to buy the 22 inch model kit of the Enterprise instead since there are many parts available for it that will make it accurate. For those who are wondering, I bought the very first NCC-1701 from the original series. Strangely enough I care enough about the Enterprise to want to make it as accurate as possible when all I've ever done with my earlier Star Wars models was to snap them together and put them on a shelf, but still this will in the end give me a pretty fine model of the starship Enterprise. I also believe that it was shipped today, so having an Enterprise shipped on William Shatner's birthday is actually pretty cool for a Star Trek fan. Earlier I actually forgot the number that my sources told me would represent my next girlfriend and thought it was 26, but that number was actually used the last time when I had a not so long relationship with a nice asian girl named Sunny since she told me she was not the one I was looking for and we agreed to end it. Now that I remember, I was actually supposed to find someone represented by the number 12 with a first name starting with R, I asked another one of my sources for what she would look like. Obviously she will be Asian too since I already know of her long black hair, but now I got the information that she will be about 175 tall, something that sounds awesome, and that she will be thin and pretty, looking like a totally hot model. I was even told that she likes costumes too and was wearing many things that I had made, then it was revealed that what she was wearing was actually a costume of Alyx Vance, which is the Asian woman who will most likely become Gordon Freeman's girlfriend, and since I've got a Gordon Freeman costume myself, this will be totally extremely awesome. Also getting a girlfriend will make having two big robot chicks in my room not so embarrassing anymore. Some while ago I found a forum where some retards had written some stupid stuff about my first Gynoid Cyrah, so naturally I became damn mad like always when people annoyed me and wrote some pretty nasty things back at them. In the end I was banned from the forum and the posts were all deleted, but I almost felt like getting rid of Cyrah when people talk crap like that about it. All I have it for is to display a costume on it, nothing more and nothing less. I was even in two relationships while building these Gynoids, and none of my old girlfriends cared since they are simply just display pieces.

Log - 14 March 2010 - Stuff and stuff.

2010-03-14T09:30:00.000-07:00

A while ago now, someone made a new Star Trek movie that was supposed to be about the story before the original series. I very much liked this movie and thought that I should get the rest of the movies. Eventually I noticed they were selling a big box with all 10 Star Trek movies in it for a very low price, so I bought this. Naturally I figured out after watching this that the newest Star Trek prequel didn't make any sense at all, so I stopped liking that movie and started liking all the original movies instead. And so it was that I had now become a Star Trek fan, though I had always liked the TV shows and the movies whenever they were showing. Since I've always liked science fiction movies and such, it is not that strange that I would end up liking Star Trek, but still it is somewhat strange that my friend Lasse who's interests are pointing far from science fiction suddenly became a fan of Star Trek too, so this was pretty cool for both of us when we say up late many times to talk about Star Trek and browsing the Internet for media about it. Now I really wanted to get all the seasons of the original series on DVD, but didn't know where to get them anymore. Earlier I had seen some cool plastic boxes with just that in some of the stores around here, but they were not for sale anymore. Browsing the Internet some more, I learned that they had actually released the seasons on DVD again, only this time they had been totally remastered with new computer graphics and all sorts of cool things, so naturally I wanted to get these now instead. Lasse told me that because he worked in an electronics store that he could get many things there for about half the original price, so we figured that he could buy the DVD boxes for me and I could pay him later. I also told him to get the complete series box of the awesome TV show MacGyver too since I have wanted that for a long time but never bothered to pay so much for it. We made a plan that he would buy the movies before Saturday, then I would come to his workplace and later his home to get them. Unfortunately he could not find the first season of Star Trek, but when I arrived on Saturday, I looked around the store for it and finally found it. When I walked down to the counters with it, I saw that Lasse was standing at another counter after the paying counters, so I had to hide the DVD box somewhere first to go and talk to him. After we had greeted each other, he went and bought the season 1 box for me, then I had to wait a while for when he would stop working there. While waiting, some of the people there said I had to leave many times, but couldn't before Lasse was done and took the season 1 box with him. When we was done, we went to his place where we tried to make some music with his computer for a while. I also got to see his two rats that were pretty awesome, only one of them bit my finger right at the joint when I tried to pick it up, but it wasn't that bad anyway. Most of the night was actually spent on playing with some sort of maze balls that I had bought earlier today since they were just so cool to play with. After that, we walked around outside and shot at things with BB guns and whatnot, then watched some Star Trek and MacGyver episodes. We had decided earlier that instead of having a semi-gay sleeping experience in his bed, we would stay up all night instead, something that went almost good since we had both drinked several boxes of caffeinated stuff, but still we were pretty tired in the end and just watched some MacGyver episodes on the couch. I got someone to pick me up in the morning since I was so damn tired, though it would have been cooler to have stayed there for the day in a non-tired state so we could have done more cool things, but perhaps that's for another time. After I got to sleep some at home, I came along on a trip to a house that my sister and her guy will perhaps buy if the price is right enough or if any other case that other people don't want it. More caffeinated brew was consumed for the night when I continued watching the original Series of Star Trek.

Log - 27 February 2010 - Zenia's new body.

2010-02-27T10:50:00.000-08:00

Not long ago I stumbled across an Internet auction where female mannequins were sold. The reason why I was searching for this was to find something for my next Android named Zenia. Previously I wanted to only buy a torso since I need her to be light in weight because of all the joints, but this would mean that I would have to make the rest of the body-parts myself. The auction I stumbled across featured a transparent mannequin that at least looked lightweight, so I asked the people about it. The woman behind the auction didn't understand what I was going to use it for, so she re-sent my e-mail to another person that knew more about them, he said that the mannequin was in fact very light and was made of polyester. This now seemed perfect for my new Android since all the limbs were already there, and that it was headless, something that fit very well since I have already cast a head for her that I wanted to use. Today I purchased this mannequin after having picked one of the two remaining that would best suit my project. Originally we were all going to a museum today, but since the museum was just an hour from closing, this was postponed to another day. Instead we drove to a mall where I searched for more fiber-optic cables for Zenia and some other neat light-disc, but unfortunately they did not have any more of these items in storage, possibly because these stores are about to close. This means that I have to hurry to get these items because no other store here possess them. After I got home and made even more Chinese food, something I've started to frequently do now, I reassembled Zenia's new body and realized that it was actually very much taller and more muscular than Cyrah was. In case you are wondering who Cyrah is, she is the first Android that I built. Because the face I chose for Zenia looked like a pretty little Asian girl, I wanted her to be smaller than Cyrah, but now it would seem I have to re-think my whole design. Still in the end she will most likely look just the same as I had originally intended, only that she will look larger and older than Cyrah instead of smaller and younger. Captain James T. Kirk also died in the next Star Trek movie I watched today, and to quote his final words I would say; oh my...

Log - 12 February 2010 - My new computer.

2010-02-12T09:41:00.000-08:00

Recently I bought a bunch of Jelly Belly beans for one of my prop replicas from the first Harry Potter movie, so I will finish that soon. Also today they finally had the new computer that I wanted to buy in the store where they obviously were sold. I noticed that these computers were sold out really fast on the Internet, so I wanted to buy it today on Friday instead of buying it on Saturday when most likely every other person who wants a new computer will attempt to buy it too. This involved some train travel to get there, but they still had the computer when I arrived, so I bought one with some extra stuff too. Previously I thought of maybe just updating my current computer, but realized that since this computer is so old, it would not be possible to update it to anything remotely as good as this new computer anyway. Now that I have a new computer, I will finally get to do things properly without the operating system snapping and popping every time before I get to save whatever it is I am doing, so this will be very good for everything in my website and so forth. Later today I also decided to buy a nice box with everything needed to perform the training known as Pilates, something that is very good for strengthening the so called core that then again makes everything else work better, and of course with my new spare time activity, I will need it.

Log - 30 January 2010 - Darth Vader progress.

2010-01-30T15:45:00.000-08:00

After having bought and watched the new Star Trek movie, I thought that it was very good, so I wanted to buy the rest of the movies now that they had released a really cool box with all the movies in it. After buying this box I learned that the new Star Trek movie was actually totally different from the storyline of the original Star Trek, so that annoyed me very much. I grew up to watching the TV show Star Trek - The Next Generation, but now after having seen all the first Star Trek movies, I really like the original story and all the characters involved in that, so soon I will buy all three seasons of the original Star Trek show. Recently I have been trying to buy a new computer, but since that computer in mind has not arrived yet, I spent this day in buying the rest that I need to finish my Darth Vader costume. First I traveled to a very large fabric store where they have just about everything you would ever need for anything. There I bought a green mesh fabric, some fluffy padding and a large foam mat to make into a muscle suit like the one worn by the actor who played Darth Vader in the third Star Wars movie. The need of the muscle suit is not really there because I am not that big, but because Darth Vader is really big, so even the actor had to wear a muscle suit to look as large as the original Darth Vader. Most likely it will be very hot but will look good in the end anyway. Now that I had bought these things, I also wanted to buy the boots for the costume, so I browsed through a horse riding equipment store nearby. I found a pair of boots that had the right size and with wide calves, but they looked too pointy for the costume, so I wanted to browse through another store a small distance away if they had anything better, and there I found another pair of wide calved boots that weren't as pointy as the other ones, so I bought them. Soon I will attempt to sew the rest of the things for my Darth Vader costume to finally finish the first costume I wanted to build.

Because I have recently finished cleaning my work area, I have been able to do just about everything that I didn't have room to do before, so I decided to finish my Grave Tusken costume that has been on hold for almost 6 years or something, and now it is almost finished and looking pretty darn good. All that's left now is the face mask with the leather cap and the bowcaster. Everything else seems to be going well too, though I still don't have anyone new to call my girlfriend, but my sources tell me this time that I will meet a girl who's name will start with R and has something to do with the number 12. Too bad that my last relationship didn't last for too long, but at least she had the right S name and the right number 26, so my sources have been correct all the times so far. Hopefully this unknown R girl will be the last one that will stay forever. Today was Saturday once again, and I was mall-browsing today also. Bought myself a new trashcan to replace the frequently garbage-bag hanging on my door. Also bought a few new movies and such, and even bought a pair of new shoes that I've been gleaming upon for some while now when looking for good shoes to use for free-running, something that I want to start doing this upcoming summer, but only the basic "climb to up there and then there stuff", not the extreme air spinning crazy stuff. Since I barely ever get tired and mostly ignore it when I do, and am also a lot stronger than I should be, then maybe I will become somewhat good at that. I've always liked to run and jump around on things anyway, so why not. I read a list later that stated what a good free-runner shoe should be, and so far the ones I bought fit every damn thing on the list, so now I'm working out a lot for the summer when I will start practicing more for it.

Sure this new year of 2010 is supposed to be a lot better according to many people, and I'm sure it will be, but for now I have been sick ever since the first day of 2010, finally getting better today, and I even got my Modulus robot moving around today too, so now we are both working better than before. Still I don't know the keys or settings to control its arm, but I'm sure I'll get there. So far I've been translating the Italian user manual to English, but then I realized that there was nothing helpful for the robot version I have in there anyway, so I sort of stopped a bit doing that, but will finish it later sometime.

Log - 31 December 2009 - Achievements of 2009.

2009-12-31T02:30:00.000-08:00

Soon this year of 2009 will be over and out, and it has been a hell of a year for many people, I believe. Still lots of good things have happened this year, but slightly covered in crap to round that all off. The Christmas celebration went on like a nuisance with headaches and things like that, but at least I got a few new things and a new good camera to replace the low-quality camera I already had, so now there will be better photos of everything in this website. I've said it before but can say it again that I have now finished cleaning my room which has been messy for the most parts of five years or so, so now I've got lots of space for robot fixing and costume creation. To take a little review of what I have achieved so far this year, I have decided to write that I have bought a female mannequin for a costume that I later converted into a robot statue named Cyrah, I've made a few drawings of the robot Modulus and have visited it at the Technical Museum lots and lots of times this year, I finished my Snowtrooper costume and even got to wear it on national television, I bought a bunch of new robots, I finished my Anakin Skywalker costume and wore it for the first time at an event, I started working on my cartoon movie, I bought a HERO JR robot and updated it to the fullest, I finished my Xanador Nekrid costume, I got free parts for the Modulus robot in the mail and even got to buy a Service & Security version of the Modulus robot, I finished my Dracula costume, I started on a Gordon Freeman costume, I bought a HERO 1 robot that I still haven't received yet since the previous owner is updating it, I used my Xanador Nekrid costume for the first time in public at a Halloween event, I learned how to play chess, I solved the Rubik's cube, and I finally finished cleaning my room. Bad things include some issues with girlfriends and that Michael Jackson died this year, damn. But other than that I got to do some cool things and probably even more things than I listed here, and most likely 2010 will be even better now that I can finish all my projects faster and more efficient.

Log - 21 December 2009 - Cleaned my damn room.

2009-12-21T12:19:00.000-08:00

Well today I finally finished cleaning my damn room, and what a damn room it is. I believe my room has been full of junk for possibly over 5 years now, but now I finally have more space to build things in, so I believe I will be finished pretty soon with the rest of my costumes and projects. I also have a new huge computer table and a new full-HD computer screen that will sure help me a lot in building the rest of my costumes. Possibly I will get a new apartment soon anyway, but at least I finally got some order in this room before moving away. My new Service & Security Modulus robot is still standing there without working now that I have been very busy with my room, so I will have to fix this little chap soon and also fix the memory of my HERO JR robot. The poor bugger has become demented. Other things that have happened would be that I have decided to build a second female Android named Zenia that will be far more complicated than my first Android Cyrah, I have also bought some new things for my costumes and a few more neat Rubik's items. Most importantly of all is that I sent an E-mail to the designer of the Modulus robot some while ago and got a reply saying that they very much liked my idea to re-create Modulus and that I should take a trip to their studio to get better known with them, so it seems my dream can come true after all.

Log - 25 November 2009 - Modulus has arrived.

2009-11-25T14:51:00.000-08:00

First of all, yesterday I solved the 3x3 Rubik's cube by only figuring it out by myself. It didn't take too long, but it did take some while of course when I had decided not to get any help for solving it. I calculated that my new Service & Security Modulus robot would arrive today, but didn't know how it would get here. While I was still in bed, a post-car had pulled up to the house and rang the doorbell. I grabbed my clothes and hurried to get them on, but still couldn't make it to the door in time and saw the post-car drive away. Knowing that this was my new Modulus robot, I checked the clock to see if I had time to go to the postal office before I had to catch a train to a meeting and saw that I had about an hour left. I ran down to the postal office and asked the woman behind the counter if a package had arrived for me that I just missed, then she told me that if I missed it, it would probably arrive at the postal office in the middle of the day, which was good news to me since I didn't know if they would bring it there or to the other postal office that was far away. I walked back home since I was tired from running all the way without having had any breakfast first, then I noticed a post-car driving towards me at the bottom of a road that met with the road I was on. I stopped the post-car to ask about the package and saw it in the back of the car, then the woman in the car handed it over to me and asked for my signature. She also told me that it would take a long while until it would arrive at the postal office since I missed it, so it was a good thing that I decided to walk instead of run when I would have missed the post-car again if I did. It was quite a heavy box to begin with, and being tired sure didn't make it better, but my home was not far away anyway. When I got the box up to the living room, I still had about half an hour left before I had to take the train, so I decided to open the package to see my new Modulus robot. After having spent most my life searching for a humanoid Modulus robot, I got a really good feeling from finally getting my own Modulus robot, even though it is the smaller version of it. The robot looked very good indeed and came with a command keyboard, a battery charger, a few spare circuit board and wheels, and even a user manual in a cool white folder with the Modulus logo on it. When the time came to take the train to the meeting, I brought along the user manual to show them the robot I admire, and so far it seems I have all the possibilities to get lots of great help to start my own robotics company, maybe even producing a newer version of my favorite robot Modulus if its designer and creator allows it.

Log - 20 November 2009 - Modulus parts in the mail.

2009-11-20T10:29:00.000-08:00

A few days after I bought a Service & Security Modulus robot and a HERO 1 robot, I also paid for the shipping of many Modulus robot parts including an arm that had been kindly donated to me because of my interest and future plans for the Modulus robot. Not long after that, the parts were all boxed and sent to Norway, then the Modulus robot I bought before was also shipped out two days ago and will arrive sometime next week. While I was still in bed this morning, I was called to know that a DHL truck would come in about half an hour, and when it arrived, the DHL man handed over the package with the Modulus parts. I decided to film the opening of the package in case I will later make some sort of video robot journal on the Internet or something, mostly for my own sake so that I get on film the first times I power up the robots and see how they move. In the box were two small original Modulus boxes with a power supply and a command keyboard in them. I didn't even know I would get the power supply, and now that I have both these things, I can power up the humanoid Modulus robot at the museum too. An arm was also in the box, along with two main circuit boards for the base units and some smaller radio controller boards. Since the arms of this robot is something I very much like, it was very exciting for me to get this arm, and I will also be able to connect it to my Service & Security Modulus when it arrives. Since the arm was covered in dirt, I took it apart to wash the covers. Originally I thought the arms were just plastic and motors, but there were actually two circuit boards inside the two main parts of the arm that even had processor chips on them, so the arms were far more advanced than I had thought, but other than that they were very similar in the gear movement functions as I had imagines. Now the arm is totally clean and looks new, and I even learned that the command keyboard makes a beeping sound when a button is pressed.

Log - 14 November 2009 - My own HERO 1 robot.

2009-11-14T06:57:00.000-08:00

Trying to find all the HERO robots by Heathkit for sale, I asked around in forums and E-mailed a few people who had robotics websites with photos of their own robots. My first robot of this series was the HERO JR robot that I had purchased some while back, so next I wanted to buy the HERO 1 robot, the first robot in this line. One of the people I had E-mailed before was the current owner of the RB5X robot line who told me he did indeed have an extra HERO 1 robot he could sell to me. His offer was much better than the others I had seen since he would only sell his robot as a complete set with all the accessories and manuals, so I was very interested in buying it. A few conversations through E-mails later, and I finally got to buy the robot today and will receive him in a few weeks after he gets filled up with all the accessories there is. I even got to buy my first Modulus robot in the Service & Security configuration this same week, and today is even the same day that the TV show I will be featured as a Snowtrooper in will be aired on TV. I even got my faulty Windows XP back up again, so this has been a good week indeed. Now all the robots that are left for my collection are the two other Modulus versions, HERO 2000, and of course the first mass produced robot, RB5X.

Log - 09 November 2009 - My first Modulus robot.

2009-11-09T11:30:00.000-08:00

Over a year ago I found a website called Society Of Robots and registered to their forum to ask if anyone had a Modulus robot. Just as I suspected, noone at the forum had heard about it either and only told me to ask other robot database websites that I had already seen without any results. Still I kept the topic going in case someone would drop by, and about half a year later, a man stopped by and told me he had owned half a Modulus robot for about 8 years. At first he only said he could provide me with information and photographs of the robot, but soon he agreed on selling it to me. I was very happy to have made a result in my search, but was also dissapointed since I thought his half Modulus was previously a humanoid Modulus that was cut down at some point in time, but later when he showed me his photos, I saw that the area the torso was connected to was covered by a transparent plastic dome and thought that it looked like it was supposed to be this way. Not knowing the right answer, I sent an E-mail to the man who sold Modulus in Norway, and he thought it looked original too, but that he only had sold and seen the humanoid Modulus. The photos I was given of this half Modulus was actually what resulted in me learning the rest of the Modulus robots. At this point, I only knew the name Modulus and nothing more, but having seen a sticker inside the half Modulus saying Sirius - Made in Italy, I finally learned that a company named Sirius had made these robots in Italy. I searched on the Internet for a long time to find any trace of this robot, and finally found it when searching Sirius Modulus Italy. I had now found the website of the robot's designer, Isao Hosoe, and sent a very excited E-mail to him. He was very pleased to hear about my likings of his robot design, and as an extra thanks, I was provided with scans from a magazine featuring all the useful information about Modulus, along with blueprints and scetches. This was extremely cool for me to receive, and at the same time I learned that the Modulus robot was actually made as a larger modular system than just the slices of the Techno-Cake, being in fact two smaller robot versions that could come together as the largest humanoid Modulus with the nickname Moddy, the only robot I knew existed in the Modulus line. Of course now I knew that the half Modulus was in fact an original Service & Security version of Modulus, so now I wanted it even more. As a bonus of getting to buy this robot, I could then also use its control and charger to once again get the humanoid Modulus at the Technical Museum back to life. The man who owned this robot was often very busy, and at unknown times even to him, plus he had recently moved to a different home, but today was indeed a great day for me when I was finally able to buy the Modulus robot from him. Now I am the very proud owner of a Service & Security Modulus robot, very much looking forward to receiving the robot in the mail after he will send it to me next week. Finally my search for Modulus has resulted in me owning one of the robots, and hopefully I will find the other two versions soon enough.

Log - 31 October 2009 - Xanador's Halloween.

2009-10-31T09:12:00.000-07:00

Last year the local museum of rocks and mining had made a Halloween arrangement in the mines at a place named Nyseter that was a success according to them, so they decided to have the same arrangement this year also. The whole thing involves in walking around in the mines where people with costumes are placed to scare the kids and show them the way through to the main room where they serve soda and candy, so this year I was asked to join the scaring crew in the mines and thought that this could be a perfect first event with my Xanador Nekrid costume. Before the event started, I came along on a trip to various places were some candy and things were bought. Since I wanted the hair of my costume to look as real as possible, I searched around for a can of white hairspray, but could only find grey hairspray before we had to drive back. It was very late when we came back, so I barely got the time to change into my costume, but got it fixed up good enough. We had to drive up to the mine before the regular people came, and we saw on the way that there were about 200 people coming. It was really cool to walk around in this costume in the dark, and a few photos were taken outside the mine when we arrived, then I had to wear a helmet to walk into the mine to where I was supposed to stand at a place where one tunnel split into two tunnels. All the people and children came about half an hour later to the lowest mine entrance, then they started walking through the mine tunnels that were filled with ghosts, skulls, spiders, tape recorders with scary sounds, and the scaring crowd with their costumes. When they came to my area, many of the children started screaming and looked really scared at me, then I pointed towards the tunnel they were meant to walk through to get to the stairs that lead up to the main room. A few of the adults took photos of me with large cameras while the children were talking to me and playing around, but I scared them away with my sword and scary teeth. The people got fewer in number after some while, and a few photos were taken in the meanwhile until all the people had walked through. Now that no more people came, I was free to walk up the stairs to the main room, which was somewhat difficult in my long coat that I had just finished for this event, but I managed to get up without falling down. A few more photos were taken in the main room, but no one knew who I really was, and the kids even asked me if I was walking around on stilts since I was that tall. Other kids even asked me if those were my real teeth, but I just gnarled at them to scare them off. Since there were still a few bags of candy left, I was given one as payment for my contribution for this event, and that was good enough for me when I just came to scare kids for free anyway. After most of the people had left the mines, I took this great opportunity to get some good photos of this costume inside the mines for my website, and they all turned out pretty cool. When we left the place, I came along on another trip afterwards to a grocery store since it would be cool and funny to walk around in a store with this costume. Not many people were there, but I flashed my scary teeth to the ones that stared at me for my own amusement. After having walked around the whole place, one of my old teachers from high-school came up to me and commented on me being here too after having seen me in the mines, then asked how my scary teeth were. At first I thought she recognized me, but the good thing with this costume is that I don't look like me anymore after all the makeup, hair, and veneers, so I told her later that she had seen me before somewhere too, then she asked if I was the one with all the Star Wars costumes, then she recognized me when I said yes. Back home there were no more kids coming at the door since it was getting late, so more candy for me.

Log - 30 October 2009 - Kvitt Eller Dobbelt.

2009-10-30T08:10:00.000-07:00

The last time the Nordic Garrison was called in for an event, I couldn't join them because of bad planning on my part and so forth, so I wanted to be sure to make it the next time. The television broadcasting network named NRK had called us in for a television show called Kvitt Eller Dobbelt where a man named Jazz was going to have Star Wars as his topic and could win 96000 NOK by answering most questions correctly. The man who is going to give him the questions and judge his answers is also a member of Nordic Garrison, so he was the one who got us all there for the show. On the 23rd, some people from Nordic Garrison had come to record some promo commercials for the show and such things, but I had to work that day. The next time they wanted us there was today on the 30th, so I fixed up my Snowtrooper costume to join them. I got to the studio a little earlier than the rest, but a woman in the lobby recognized my costume and told me to register into their database and showed me the changing room. Later I got the time to ask this woman about what was going to happen. She told me we were just going to stand in a hallway for two more promo commercials, and if Jazz makes it through the show to the point where he can win 96000 NOK, we would march into the studio before Jazz goes in, then march back out again. Earlier I was worried that I would have to stand in the studio for hours with my padded Snowtrooper costume, so I was relieved that we only had to be there for a short time. A while later, the rest of the troopers arrived, and we soon started changing into our costumes. I was one of the first to get my costume on, and the judge of the show was really impressed by how it looked. We walked around for some while and got some photos taken, then a woman told us to rehearse the TV promos in the green lit hallway. The troopers were set to stand against the wall on either side while Jazz and the host of the TV show, Nadia, would walk down the hallway followed by Darth Vader. The woman who told us to rehearse played as the stand-in for Nadia the show host when we rehearsed the promo about 3 times, then Nadia arrived with a camera man for the main filming of the promo which went very well. Unfortunately the promos they recorded the last time would not be shown, but fortunately for me this would mean that I will be featured on TV many more times in the promo. After the rehearsals, most of us walked to another hallway where we talked and laughed while TB-3444 were taken photos of for his new profile at the 501st Legion website. Many other photos were taken by some of the troopers and supporters too. After the TV crew was done filming some of the other contestants of the TV show, they told us to go up to the studio to rehearse our part there too. We were first shown where we would stand in the studio, then we marched in a few times to those positions until we had it done perfectly. We were now all hoping that Jazz would make it past 48000 NOK so we could perform this march to be featured on TV, but there was some more waiting to be done before that while the other contestants were filmed again. We were allowed to stand behind the studio and watch when a girl had Nelson Mandela as her question topic, and also got to see many of the snakes that another man had chosen as his question topic. It was now time for Jazz again, and we all watched the show being recorded behind the stage. He received some tricky questions that most of us troopers didn't even know the answers to from having watched Star Wars for 30 years or so, and Jazz was very unsure also. Just when we thought he wouldn't make it past 48000 NOK, he sure did make it in the end to all the troopers relief, now we were sure to get our march featured on TV. We all congratulated him and walked back to the hallway where we waited even more while the TV crew recorded some of the other contestants again. We saw many famous people in this building while waiting, but what was coolest for me was when an actor started commenting on my Snowtrooper costume and thought it was awesome, so I showed him my scratch built E-11 and how it works to his amazement. Having been standing in hot costumes for quite some while now, we were all getting a bit tired, so I sat down for a while and later decided to stretch my back a bit, something that resulted in a near catastrophe. The plastic strap between the chest armor and the backpack simply popped apart when I stretched my back, and right before we were supposed to go back up to film the main march for TV too, so I got really nervous right then and wondered what to do. Even though these straps are hidden by the helmet cowl, the backpack was not hanging straight anymore, and this would not look good on TV when I am the one that will be closest to the camera. To my relief, one of the troopers had a toolbox with all sorts of trooper repair items, and amongst it some white electrical tape. It was just minutes before we had to get back up again that I got to tape the armor back together again, so I owe a big thanks to the trooper in rescue and his tape. Back in the studio, the march went great for the final part of the show, and I was sure pleased that my armor was fixed just in time. After the show was over, many people along with the contestants were walking around in the studio and talked to us, many of them took photos of us too. Earlier a man from a famous Norwegian magazine called Se Og Hør asked us if we would stick around later on for a photo that would be featured in the magazine later, so we all agreed on him taking our photo after the show was over. We got many good photos of all the troopers together with Jazz, the judge Jean Erik, and the show host Nadia, along with other funny photos of all the troopers sitting in the question chair tube. We were even asked for our autographs by some of the girls that were there, and we all wrote our 501st ID numbers for fun. And so we walked out of the studio, back to the changing room to get back to normal clothes. Despite of all the waiting, it was a very cool event indeed, and I was really glad to have made my Snowtrooper costume's public premiere on a well known TV show.

When I came along on a trip one Saturday, I was suddenly at the Technical Museum again, so of course I walked down to the robot room to see Modulus again. I asked the woman in the room if it was possible to trade it for another robot since they can't sell it, but she didn't know. Some days after that, I brought some stuff I wanted to sell to a toy trade fair, but barely anyone bought anything from me, and I ended up buying more things that I sold. I got to buy the Sega Megadrive game of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, along with some other fun things. After that, things have not been good here for a long time, and I didn't even get to go to an event with the Nordic Garrison that I wanted because of it. The only things that have made me better are my costumes now that I have cleared away some more work space to fix on my costumes again. I have decided to start working on Xanador Nekrid's coat for Halloween, along with the E-11 blaster rifle for my Snowtrooper costume.

Log - 23 September 2009 - Dracula's coat.

2009-09-23T08:08:00.000-07:00

Today I got a call that my package had finally arrived, containing the Dracula coat that I had ordered from Magnoli Clothiers, so I took my bike down to the post office to get it. The coat was very well made and fit me perfectly, and the length of it was spot on when wearing the boots that I bought for this costume. I told my old girlfriend Iris that the coat had arrived, and she got really excited since she is the one who told me about the movie Dracula 2000 where this costume is from. I told her I would take photos of it after I sewed together the sweater for this. The sweater that he wore in the movie was made of some shiny synthetic fabric that seems to be rare, but previously I got a hold of two sweaters that had white writing on the front of them, so I had to sew the back of the one sweater onto the other sweater to make one full black sweater. After I got some photos taken, my old girlfriend got even more excited when she saw it. Unfortunately I got an e-mail today about the Modulus robot that said there were no parts for the humanoid version of it in the inventory I was about to buy, so now it seems my search will have to start again. I have now wanted this robot for 17 years without getting one, and not even the man who made these have any more of them. Now it seems the man who sold them in Norway has blocked my access to his website, so it would seem he has something against me now because of my search. I don't know what all the trouble is about, if I had a flying car or an U.F.O. I didn't need, then I would help him get what he dreamt of. My next step in my search for Modulus will be: Pleuh...

Log - 16 September 2009 - Visiting Modulus.

2009-09-16T07:18:00.000-07:00

Today I was driven to the Technical Museum by someone I had told about my search for the Modulus robot to, so had to get up early. I didn't feel that very good at the beginning since I had to get up earlier than what I am used to, but I got better some time later. When we arrived at the museum, we walked down to the robot room where Modulus is kept, but they didn't let us in since there were many kids there who were programming Lego robots and whatnot, so we walked around the museum and looked at all the things they had. We both saw some items and old phones that we recognized, then we walked back to the robot room to ask again about seeing Modulus. A woman asked another man in the room if we could see it, then she told us to wait until the kids were done in there. I told the story about my search to the woman we talked to, and she at least appeared to find it interesting. Some while later, the guy who was in the room let us enter and see Modulus, then I asked him if I could open some of its module boxes to look around inside it. He told me I could since I told him first that it was made to be opened, so I got to take some more good photos of the inside of Modulus. After the man had to leave the room, we walked back up to the store where we looked around for some while before she drove me back home. Soon I will maybe get to buy a Modulus robot if the man who wants to sell it to me has the parts for the humanoid version, so it was good to see Modulus for real again before spending money on another one.

Log - 08 September 2009 - A new girlfriend.

2009-09-08T08:47:00.000-07:00

Yesterday my ex-girlfriend Andrea Katerin started calling me again even though I told her I hate her and don't want to talk to her again. Now she wanted to convince me that I still liked her for some sick reason, but in reality I still hate her and don't want to know from her again, but still she keeps calling today also. One thing to keep her away with is that I have now found the girl my sources told I would find, the girl with an S name that would have something to do with the number 26. Meeting a nice girl named Sunny a while back, she gave me 26 photos of herself without realizing it would mean that she is the one, so my sources was right after all since she is now my new girlfriend, and she look more like the one I was supposed to be with than the last two girlfriends did. Other good news is that my other ex-girlfriend Iris, who is not crazy, had one of her cats get kittens recently, so now there are more fluffy creatures running around. The last time I spoke with Joe Bosworth, he said he would take new photos of all the Modulus robot parts he has that I will most likely purchase from him later on, so now I'm waiting in excitement for the new photos. On the costuming part of things, I finally started building the H.E.V. mark IV armor from the Half-Life games and am having a good time with this, trying to forget all about my old insane girlfriend.

Log - 31 August 2009 - One Modulus left.

2009-08-31T12:00:00.001-07:00

What has happened the recent days is that me and my father came to visit my cousin on his birthday celebration. There my grandmother said she wanted to see me in one of my costumes at the next event I will be on, so maybe it will happen soon. I have started meeting up with a few people about various works that I will soon get, and perhaps I will get to finally buy an apartment soon also. A few days ago after a meeting, I bought a 4x4 Rubik's cube now that I am very close to solving the 3x3 cube, and so far I'm almost solving this new cube also. I have tried to call a person named Massimo Giuliana a few times, but he did not answer the phone since his company said he was on a holiday. I believe this man once founded the company Sirius where the Modulus robots were created, and I was told by the company to call back today when maybe he had come back. Today I had yet another job meeting, and after I got home, I decided to try call for Massimo Giuliana again. He had still not come to his office yet, so they gave me his cellphone number. I called him and asked him about Sirius, and he confirmed that he was in fact the right person, but unfortunately he said he could not help me in my search for Modulus since it was made a long time ago. After getting to know that there were no more Modulus robots around there, I felt like someone close to me had died. I sent an update e-mail to Joe Bosworth since he wanted to know if there were still some Modulus robots around, then he said he still wanted to sell the Modulus robot he had to me, so I believe this will be my only chance of getting Modulus. Also since a woman at my job meeting had heard about my interest in Modulus, she wanted us to travel to the Technical Museum together some day soon to see Modulus. Perhaps I will get to buy Modulus from Mr. Bosworth before or after this event. At least there is hope that I will finally get one after searching for it ever since I was 4 years old.

2009-08-21T07:45:00.000-07:00

Today I told Andrea Katerin that I didn't feel a thing for her anymore and didn't even like her after all that she had done, and eventually I left her. I knew she would find some tragic loser that would get together with her without even knowing her, so my friend Kate was correct about her being pathetic. Now I know that she is not the one I will end up with, even though she looks the same, but since I only like girls who look like this for some reason, it's most likely someone else. So far many many girls have contacted me on this Internet profile site, so there's still a great deal of hope that I'll find the right one. This time I am supposed to find a girlfriend who's name starts with S and has something to do with the number 26.

Log - 20 August 2009 - Recent updates.

2009-08-20T18:05:00.000-07:00

Since I already know what the girl I will stay with the rest of the time looks like because of some strange reason that I cannot describe in further details, I wanted to see if this was in fact Andrea Katerin when she looks exactly the same. We got back together again, but I didn't really want to in the first place after all the bad things that she had done to me, and I didn't feel anything for her when we did get together, so I don't know if she is the right one. Since my sources had let me know my next girlfriend's name would start with the letter S and have something to do with the number 26, I didn't get at first why this was so when I got together with Andrea Katerin again some times after getting this information, but now I believe I know why. This information is not pointed towards who I will get together with next, but the next person that will become my girlfriend, and since I've been with Andrea Katerin a few times before, she doesn't count anymore since I will eventually meet a new girlfriend. So far since Andrea Katerin looks like the right girl, I will wait until I find this mystical S girl before leaving her in case Andrea Katerin is the right one after all. Yes boring, but now some updates about my furniture. A few days ago, I bought a really huge computer table with rooms for 4 cows and 7 sheep, and it's absolutely awesome. The problem was that my speakers didn't fit this computer table, so I will have to update my sound system further. So far I've also bought most of the stuff needed for the creation of an HEV mark IV suit, only lacking a can of metallic orange spray paint and some vinyl, probably some boots too. Hopefully I will start building this armor soon after cleaning my messy room. I asked my friend Helene if she was going to the Halloween event at the mines in this town, but she didn't even know about it and said she really wanted to join me there, so perhaps she can take some photos of my Xanador Nekrid costume for me inside the mines, which I have wanted for quite some while now. A woman sent me a message at one of my profile pages, asking if I was interested in posing as a photo model for her since she thought I had a pretty face and an interesting look, so I told her that it would be fun to do sometime. That sure gave me a boost of confidence, and now that more and more girls have strangely enough become interested in me at an Internet site, that's really helping me get better too. No guessing is required to know that it was Andrea Katerin that made me worse again now in the first place, but hopefully this new girl will show up soon. The Dracula coat that I ordered will arrive in the mail in about a month from now, but now I'm going upstairs to consume some cookies before I have to start living on blood or something.

Log - 30 July 2009 - Stormy day in Sweden.

2009-07-30T09:16:00.000-07:00

Today I came along on another trip to Sweden. When we arrived there, we walked into a mall where I bought a cool T-shirt with a tiger graphic on it that glows in the dark. After we were done at the mall, we drove to another place where there are many other stores. I had been on the lookout for parts for my female Tusken Raider costume, so tried to find some gloves for it in a store that I luckily enough found for only 5 NOK, which is not even a full dollar. After we all had bought some candy, my father wanted to buy the same gloves that I had bought, so I had to follow him to show where they were. After he had bought the gloves, it started pouring rain outside, so all the people stood underneath the roofs of all the stores, but eventually we had to just walk through it anyway. When I got to the car, I was soaking wet since I was wearing only one shirt, but ironically I had bought that tiger T-shirt earlier that I could change into. When we drove back home, many trees had fallen over the road where we were heading, so we had to find another way back home. Later my mother heard on the news that there had been a small tornado in that area, something that I have never heard of having been in Norway before, so perhaps there's something to all the global warming theories after all.

Log - 28 July 2009 - Finally found Roboboa.

2009-07-28T09:08:00.000-07:00

Today I came along on a trip to some places in Norway, and I got some new chips that I ordered for my Commodore 64 in the mail today. After we had driven for some while, we stopped at a place where there was a large Toys R Us store. I started looking around for some robots, then saw the mini version of the Roboboa robot snake, and thought they didn't have the full size version of it, but then my father said they had a larger version further down the shelf. They had only two of them left at a discount price of 50%, so that was pretty good. Previously I tried to buy this robot off the Internet the last time I was at Andrea Katerin's house, but the seller couldn't seem to get it shipped for some reason, most likely the seller was trying to trick me. At least I got a refund later on. After I bought the Robot at the toy store, we drove to a mall that was nearby where we bought some food. Later we drove to a place where there were lots of boats and an abandoned crane. My father found a small barbecue that he needed to burn an old broken handle off of a tool, then I thought I could also use this to reshape the crowbar for my Gordon Freeman costume. Afterwards, me and my father climbed up to the abandoned crane to check it out, and it reminded me of some scenes from the Half-Life games, but fortunately no armed helicopters or aliens came to kill me anyway. When I came back home to fix up the Commodore 64 with the new chips, the damn thing didn't work then either, but at least I got a fun new robot that I've wanted for some while.

Log - 17 July 2009 - Commodore 64.

2009-07-17T16:18:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we borrowed the neighbor's car since he said we could do so, then we drove on a trip far up to a place called Dokka. On the way there, I wanted to visit a store where I had bought many things before such as my costuming mannequin, the mannequin I built Cyrah from, and a Sega Megadrive. Now that I know both my HERO JR robot and the Modulus robot can be connected to a Commodore 64 computer, I wanted to buy one from this store. I tried to find the Sega game called Moonwalker featuring Michael Jackson, but the store owner told me that many of his fans had come and bought lots of items from this artist, so the game was gone. I found three Commodore computers and lots of manuals and books for it that I sorted out to what I wanted. In total, I bought the Commodore 64 of course, along with the user's manual, two games books, and a programming book. He only wanted 350 NOK for the whole lot, which was pretty good. We then drove up to Dokka where we walked around in a few stores until driving off to another place with more malls. We found a store that sold old antiquities and used stuff that had over 20 rooms. I found a few typewriters that looked cool, but nothing else of interest when the whole place reminded me of my grandmother's house. I already have two different typewriters anyway that I frequently use. Being 21 years old with two typewriters and a Commodore 64 will sure give me lots of geek points, whatever those points are good for. When all of us got hungry, we ordered some cheeseburgers and saw a big parrot sitting on a woman's shoulder nearby on the way to the diner. After that, we walked down to a beach where a circus had also been placed temporarily. There we saw many camels and walked closer to see them. My father found the tent where they kept the elephants, so we all took a look at them through a slit in the tent. My mother was probably most exited about the elephants when she had always wanted to see one, then got to see two up close. The animal keeper walked towards us, so we went over a wooden bridge where we also saw some animals below. Two furry weasels or something were chirping and running around after each other under the bridge, and many other people were amazed at these critters also. After we drove back home, I took apart my Commodore 64 computer to clean it properly, then found that the thing didn't work at all and only showed an orange picture. It was now late, so I waited for the next day to fix it up further. Today we were also going away, so me and my father drove back to the store where I bought the computer yesterday to buy the last of them for donor parts. Ironically the game I didn't find for my Sega was later found in a Commodore datasette, and the store owner let me buy the second computer and the game for only 200 NOK, even though he said he should have added another zero to the price of the game. I told him that I now only had to find a datasette player in order to play the game, then he said that he did in fact have one back in his store and started looking for it. I got the player for 150 NOK, then we left the store. When I came home, I found that the second computer didn't work at all either, but I started swapping a few parts over from that to the first I bought which looked nicer. Perhaps this was all meant to happen so that I would find that game anyway, I later discovered that I would probably just need two new RAM chips that cost only $4 USD for both, then this cool classing computer will hopefully work. Later today, we drove to a place near the sea where we walked around and took a few photos of things before driving back home. The rest of the day was spent on Commodore 64 research and finishing my robot woman Cyrah.

Log - 13 July 2009 - New CD collection.

2009-07-13T16:06:00.000-07:00

Today me and my mother went on a trip to a place called Gran since I was to talk to someone there. My HERO robot woke me up, and we left at about nine in the morning. The meeting was over about half an hour after we got there, then we started walking around in the stores. Yesterday I had learned about a new CD collection box of Michael Jackson's greatest albums and wanted to find this today, and I was fortunate enough to buy the last one they had in the entire town. It is strange that this collection box was released only a day after his death, but this box was planned on this release date anyway before his death. Now people are starting to say that he was possibly killed, and perhaps he was since this would increase the sales of that box for sure. Out of two bad possibilities, I hope he was not killed. My mother had ordered a white radio from a store that would call her when it arrived, but they never called anyway, so we walked to the store to find that they had only one white radio left, showing that they most likely either forgot to call or didn't even bother to. After we returned home, I replaced the net on a new clothes drying rack from blue to white, then listened to Michael Jackson's awesome music the rest of the day while working on my robot woman Cyrah.

Log - 09 July 2009 - Dracula's coat

2009-07-09T05:49:00.000-07:00

On the 7th this month, a ceremony was held for Michael Jackson after his death, and it was very nice indeed and a great tribute to the greatest artist ever. I hope to soon get more of his great music. Many years ago, I had a girlfriend who was very interested in Vampires and the movie Dracula 2000. Naturally I watched this movie since she and many other people had said I look like Dracula from that movie. Since I am a costume maker, I of course wanted to make a costume of this also. Many years later on this day, I finally got to buy that coat from a tailor that specializes in movie clothing replications. I gave him drawings of the coat with measurements and all info needed to make one, so hopefully he will make it to look exactly the same as the one in the movie. Also since I got together with this girl who made me interested in this costume on the 9th, this was a very good date to buy it on, and it sure made her really excited about it. She and a few of her friends also wanted to make a Vampire movie where I will play a Vampire wearing this coat, and will also play Xanador Nekrid in this movie.

The last day of last month, I decided to start working on Cyrah again now that I had been talking to my friend Lassor who said I was talented because of having built her and all sorts of things, so now I'm fixing her up again. When working on Cyrah, I had an old tape player running with music by Michael Jackson on it, and his music made me feel really good, too bad he had to die a few days ago. When I walked outside to get some air after working with bondo, I still had the tape player running on my belt, and everything around me seemed so unnaturally lifted as if I was in a music video or something, though it could just have been the bondo fumes that made my head woozy. Everything around me seemed so very nice, so I decided to take a trip on my bicycle while listening to his music, and all around me seemed so very nice, and I felt like I did back in my childhood. I ran my bicycle far up on many roads to go fast downhill and biked around all over the town. This was a really awesome experience that I recommend you do if having a sappy day or something, I just didn't want it to end, so I kept biking around all the rest of the day until it was long after midnight, and I sure hope to do this soon again. Hopefully I will get a more up to date format of media for his music the next time, but all I had now were a couple of tapes. In the days to come, I finally got Cyrah's torso to line up perfectly and painted these as well. Her legs were also finished and painted recently, so now her entire body is completed, apart from her arms that I still need a couple of joints for to finish. Today I started punching in her hair and fixed her up a bit while listening to more of Michael Jackson's awesome music. I also decided to check the price of a full-length coat for one of my costumes today now that I have lots of money. This money is actually saved for a Modulus robot, but since I will get more money in two days, I suppose I can finally buy this coat as it is the final part needed to complete this costume that I and one of my old girlfriends surely would like to see finished.
