busy, busy and busier

wow.. I’m just so busy lately it’s hard to get anytime to myself to do anything I need to do..

I need money is what I need really, I need to upgrade my site to a dedicated server, but with three kids I just can’t do it..

I was all set ready to go, but I lost an advertiser with no explanation or anything. I emailed them, I even called them but they just never responded, just plain rude really it was. Just really unprofessional all around, at least give me the decency of an email response as to why… so anyway, that killed my idea for upgrading the server. I have advertising spots available but no one is inquiring, well I did have two people inquire but I believe they were just spammers…

oh well, I just finished a major upgrade to core of site and mysql database, added a commenting system as well.. going to be doing some other tweaks as time allows.

I’ve got articles and reviews to write and websites for a friend of mine to create, and an apartment to finish… on top of all of this I decided to learn Japanese, the language as spoken not written just yet…

eh…

More GI Joe stuffs.. Pictures of toys this time!

So I do have more Blueprints to scan in yet, but I’ve taken a bunch of pictures of the actual toys I have as well…

(all thumbnails open to large hi-res pictures)

so here we have the FLAK or Field Light Attack Cannon:

 

  

Next up we’ve got the G.I Joe SHARC Flying Submarine

 

and here we’ve got the Sky Hawk

 

That’s it for today.. I’ve got tons more to come, including play sets, accessories and more…

The Very Hungary Caterpillar

Yes I know it’s ‘hungry’ and not ‘hungary’

If you have children, then you are very familiar with the story ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ , I’ve got three kids and have read it so many times I’ve lost count…

anyway, my middle child, Nick, is in kindergarten and today he came home with this little book that they made in school… It’s a variation on the original story where in the end he says his stomach hurts and from now on he’ll only eat good food instead of junk.. but anyway, here’s a picture of the cover:

Notice anything wrong there?

I’m guessing he’s a very Hungarian caterpillar?!?  as opposed to be a plain Hungarian caterpillar…

The best part is that this little booklet thing is actually to help them learn to spell!!!!

Amazing isn’t it?!

Oh, well…
