You know you know a series or game too well when...

Walking down Chedder Gorge yesturday, enjoying the natural beauty of the area with my brother, mum and Aunt Marie, I found myself eyeing up the many different dragon statuettes in the many gift shops along the gorge. (For those who don't know, if it's a dragon, I want it)

A huge redy pink one caught my eye, though I'm out of money, wings outspread, it's tails wrapped around the rock it was perched on, looking to the skies as if awaiting another dragon, or maybe prey. I have to assume it's wings were designed to display earings and other such jewelery, as the grace and beauty of the piece was detracted from by red wire mesh wings. (Not the one in the pic)

(And please, with wings as fragile as wire mesh, it'd never take off.)

Any way, next to the dragon that I really, really, wanted, (not enough reallys) was a huge yellow gem, probably glass as it was only £7.99, but when I saw it, my first thought was.

"That's a Chaos Emerald!"

Sonic the Hedgehog fanatic much?

It's not the first time either.

I've seen red and blue gems cut the same way, and the same size as the yellow one I saw yesturday, and now my brother is convinced that the Chaos Emeralds have come to Earth.


LOST! ONE BLUE TALKING SUPERSONIC HEDGEHOG. IF FOUND PLEASE RETURN TO MY FLAT.

Anyway, I guess the point of this blog is to bring up how certain things from games and TV shows get lodged in your head.

Now, where's my Sonic hat?

All right, all right the entire episode isn't completly funny but that one bit is hilarious.

Let's see how it goes from here.

Week 24 - The final formal blog task

It doesn't matter, now, what happens,
I will never give up the fight
Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight,
It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right.

The last formal blog huh?

Awww.

I like the blogs, I've enjoyed writting the task blogs and while the idea of the video diaries kinda died when the internet finally gave up the ghost in my halls, the blogs are still going strong.

This year has been great, I love it, even if I'm beinging to hate this van cause it doesn't want to do what it's told when it comes to the mapping. Gah. I've finally got 3DMax, or I do when the computers have it running. The lack of working computers has been a bane of contention for many.

The drawing classes are really great, but I think we need Chris in more often, I don't think the amount of time that we have with him is enough. Four hours a week, in a class like drawing isn't enough.

Looking at the articals, we need to be well rounded and able to do pretty much anything and everything, and I think we're well on out way to that. We're doing all sorts in 3D modeling and we've had workshops in the ceramics and soft modelling labs.

Something we've got to make sure of is that we can model almost anything, as this will make us more valuable as employees. We can't just be focused on every day objects we've got to be able to do anything.

I've really enjoyed learning how to use Max even when I've wanted to blow up the computers because they crash and mess up the work and am really glad that my work has improved as much as it has.

The blogs are a much better idea then essays because the blogs are do able. If I had had an essay a week to do, I think I would've gone mental becuase I'm not brillient at writting.

This year has been amazing and I'm looking forward to coming back next year to see what we're doing and to get even better. Now I have 3dMax9 I can get on with things over the summer. : )

See ya around,

Joey
