Star Sonata, hard schoolwork, and it's Lunchtime

Okay, this has been one of my better days, for sure. I do have 2 reports due at the end of the week, I do have 2 tests to correct, but it's been a good day. So without further distraction: updates!

In Star Sonata, I am very close to owning my own Basil! All I need to do is get a certain commodity to Handel's Cove, and I'm set. Kinda. I'm still going to need help capturing a Basil, since to capure it you need to kill it with a radiation weapon, and the basil take 1/5 the normal damage from those... But a captured Basil is better than a built one, because captured ones come with 3 items that are actually impossible to get anywhere else. They come with 2 inbuilt weapons and an inbuilt exterminator. These weapons are nice, because one slows downs enemies, and the other sticks these annoying parasites to them, causing extra damage over time. Both of these weapons have epic range because of the Basils' radar and energy, which give a 30% boost to range when equipped together. This ship is also Tech level 15, meaning it can use decent drones. Still no DWO drones, but decent ones. I am also saving up for an Earth Force Cruiser, a tech 16 capital ship with good stats. This will be a big leap for me, because that can use DWO drones, and a nice aura generator the engineer class gets, which doubles the energy bank of all allies nearby. I'm hoping to get it within the week, but it's half a billion credits, so that ma be hard.

My school has been getting a little harder lately. Primarily because I now have 2 reports to write, which are due at the end of the week. One of these reports is 6 pages long, and I have 1 1/2 pages done. The other is shorter, so I'm focusing on the big one first.

Goodbye for now, it's 11 and I haven't eaten since 6. I'll post again tomorrow, perhaps with pictures, about my new Basil, I will have it by then. Bye!

My day so far

I've had better days (weekends) and worse days (3 tests and a report), but all in all, I've had a pretty good day today. I had an early morning PE class, in which we played capture the flag, and although we got beaten in less then a minute in the first two rounds, the teams got evened out pretty darn fast. We still lost, but we had fun. Once I got home, I got back to school, which also went fast, and now I'm down to just a little cleanup in the family room, then I can play (I hope). Today I started watching "freeman's mind", an awesome machinima about the game half-life 1 just search for the name on youtube to find it. I'm planning to watch more before I start my videogaming. I want to play some Garry's Mod today, because I just got a (rather large) addon called "neuro planes" which adds AI controlled aircraft that you can spawn. I'm gonna have so much fun with the C-130, trying to shoot it down while leaning the controls. Might make a nice video while I'm at it, but don't get your hopes up too much, I still need to find a screen recorder.

My dog, Jasper, just walked into my room with a new toy. Now he's giving me the cute face. His new toy is fire hose (just like the last two he shredded) with a tennis ball attached to it using some rope. Jasper likes to share his old toys with our neighbor's dog, Bear. Bear is a very big dog, but still a puppy, although not big enough to get his head over the wall without jumping. When I look at the neighbor's yard, I can see Jasper's shredded firehose toy lying on the porch, now being used by Bear. I need to get to my chores now, family room to clean and sweeop, MAYBE a bathroom to tidy today, and hopefully a bit of gaming after that. Bye!
