Ah, the end of another busy week! It is kind of crazy how fast time seems to have been flying by lately. The wedding is only a little more than a month and a half away! Fortunately, most of the planning and arrangements have been made, thanks mostly to Gwen's hard work. I've been helping where I can, but between the geographical separation and my work schedule, much of the heavy lifting has been left up to her. For my part, I pretty  much have my new uniform ready to go, I just have to pick it up from the tailor shop at some point. I had a little bit of a misadventure with it, since the mark on my pants for where they have to hem them was lost, requiring another trip out to the store to get it re-marked!

Last night, I got a chance to play a game of Battlefleet Gothic over at Game Empire, which was nice. It has been quite a while since I got a game in, a couple of months anyway. It was a small game, only 750 points, with my opponent borrowing my Chaos fleet and me playing my Imperial Navy. I lost, but it was still a lot of fun. I might get a chance to play again on Monday, but that night has typically been reserved for Axis & Allies: War at Sea. I might be able to do both, but more likely I will have to choose one or the other. Decisions, decisions...

Today's update is the review of Eureka 7 that I mentioned last time. This review marks the end of a long drought for Anime reviews around here; the last time I posted a review was for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig, nearly a year ago. This should give you some idea of how much I've come to like this series!

So much has happened over the last week and a half, I hardly know where to begin!

First of all, my train trip from Seattle to San Diego was an absolutely awesome time. I have a bunch of pics from that trip to post, so keep an eye out for them. I hope to put them up soon. Next, I finished watching Eureka 7 last weekend. This show has easily cracked my top three of favorite anime; rarely does a show get under my skin to the extent that Eureka 7 has! Naturally, this means that a review of the series will be forthcoming. Finally, all of my household goods arrived last Monday, and I have been steadily un-packing ever since. I have been making pretty good headway, with the kitchen, dining room, living room, and my hobby room pretty much squared away. The last major chunk I have left to work on are the bedrooms. Once I get everything unpacked and cleaned up, I'll have to post some pictures so that you can compare them with the ones I took when I first moved in!

In the meantime, today's update is a bunch of new stuff for my Warhammer 40k page. I have been meaning to do this for some time now, and my train trip gave me an opportunity to work on it some more. I'm especially happy with how my regimental standard came out!
