Today doesn’t seem that bad today. Its actually nice and not that cold outside.

Finally tried the Sandbox mode on Startopia last night. That’s my only good game so far. I kept have power shortages… o_O but I think I get the hang of what to do now. Drew a variant of an alien based on a Dahanese Siren, to fit in my IGA universe. Will color tonight when I get it scanned. I will study for my Political Science test tomorrow, nap some, draw, and scan & upload.

Nighthawk : Enemy Within Preview

by Janeil_H | Apr 10, 2007 | 2007, Writing

**Backdated for historical purposes**

I originally never planned to post this, as people didn’t have interest in my writing at the time. As years went on, I’d mention that I had this story of “A space-capable C-5 Galaxy in a pseudo-Star Trek universe.” A few people had asked to read it now and then,

I can’t put a clear time when this got conceived. The date of image is around Thanksgiving in 2003, but I had posted that to deviantART in 2005. Considering I only played Sigma Star Saga in the tail end of 2006, April of 2007 is accurate with some uncertainty.

I was still very much into “borrowing popular characters to fill your cast”, so Psyme from that same game makes a feature. “Petrie” is the only exception; this is a reference, not the exact character. Think of him being more life-size, and the “claws” being actual hands to use rocket launchers.

This was long overdue based on someone who asked to read it years ago. Unfortunately it looked like that person passed from some illness, but I was unable to find it for a number of years to share with them. This is only seeing the light of day as it was part of a hard drive recovery in 2024. I’m only getting through the backlog a few years later.

So please enjoy, and one day this will get rewritten with much more descriptors than the short bit you see.

Good morning, now it is time for another blog.

Startopia is so cool! I am at mission 3 so far, and will try to go home early and get to play it some. I want to draw art for it after seeing the Dahanese Sirens, they have cute hairstyles.

Dr. Morgan’s testing of his SkyScout was halted when the batteries died. I tell you, they need good new batteries in the lab. Charging didn’t help them. They just lost the charge almost immediately. Also that thing eats up a bunch of power trying to locate the GPS satellites…I’ll retry tonight. But it did work last night, though. I located Saturn, heard an audio description of it, and used it to find some other stuff.

Wow, I haven’t blogged a lot. This is what’s been going on.

This weekend was sort of a bummer. Because of religious reasons, couldn’t eat bread or anything with yeast inside of it. Practically starved myself on Saturday. Sunday, finished my Nue-Guyen shipset for Space Empires IV Gold. Did a lot of yardwork that lasted all day, did a bit of schoolwork in the night, then went to bed. Very boring.

Today, had a Biology test that I think that I did swell…we get Political Science test on Friday. At least Mrs. Foutch taught us stuff today, and didn’t let conversation take up the class time.

Upon reaching to work-study today, Dr. Morgan presented me with something interesting. “I have a new toy I’m sure you would want to want to play with.” he said, revealing a Celestron SkyScout. I am still figuring out the details of the device, but from what I read from the manual, its a device that you can aim at celestial objects, and using GPS satellite technology, it will use the information and correlating it with an internal star chart, identify the object with you. I’ll get to try it out tonight, having special permission to attempt to get it running, and try it out.

Now if you excuse me, I’m off to go see if Startopia came in, and to go play it if it came in. Later.

I think I’m ready to settle in for the weekend. I had a not-so-tiring but still busy day yesterday.

Upon arriving at ETSU in Johnson City aboard the USS Orion, I bought Taco Bell food of two bean burritos, a nachos, a drink, a Fiesta Potatoes, and a Nacho Cheese Chalupa.

When I met my cousin, he took me back to the dorm. I shared a burrito and some of the nachos with him, and gave his roommate the chalupa. Once we finished eating, per a contact’s instructions, we linked up with a previous face in front of the library; Kacie who I’d met from my first ETSU trip. We then went inside and sat down.

Well, not a lot today. I will be enroute to the Johnson City is about two hours, to hear the astronaut talk. I’m soo excited!

Unfortunately, I can’t meet my cousins because they have to go to church or class, so I will see if I can get some of the new faces I met to rendezvous with me and tag along.

I’m off to work at the physics labs now, so that’s that for the moment! Sorry there isn’t much to say right now. TTYL!

Okay, so sorry for not posting yesterday…things just happen too fast. Here’s the deal…

Didn’t work yesterday. Dr. Morgan wasn’t there, so I just went to go eat at Ryan’s, then went to Greeneville, & washed my car. Got my first CG art is on my gallery finally, and am hoping for some good feedback on it.

An astronaut is supposed to come to ETSU to speak tomorrow. I’m not sure if I’m going, but I plan on it. I’ll keep you posted on that.

Helped fix the house yesterday afternoon. Didn’t get to do much schoolwork or anything else, same on Sunday. Wrote some, but only a paragraph or two.

Well, its been late so far. Here goes, even if I am at home…

Finally figured out how to make my own music videos with video games…all I got to do now is have the footage, and mix it. Then, tada! Music video!

Dr. Morgan let me have a copy of the dynamics workstack so that I can mess around with it. The project is to launch a rocket, and estimate how high it will go. Sounds simple enough; I won’t launch a rocket, but I do want to see the equations so I get what’s going on.

I got to see a Portuguese man-of-war today in Biology 2 Lab. It was yellowed and the tentacles cut down to size so that it would fit in its plastic box with formaldehyde. We also saw a bunch of tiny jellyfish in tiny bottles, and a dead sea anemone. Finding Nemo comes to mind…Mrs. Eccles immediately grasped the relationship and did an almost perfect rendition of Nemo attempting to pronounce the name of this sea creature.

Okay, this is a little quick, but I would rather type little now and nothing at all today.

Had a Biology 2 test today. Not much happened, took pictures of stuff I did in school. Can’t wait to get home, and the weather is awesome! I am definitely playing with my water guns today if I get home early. Things may be looking up. Anyways, that’s about it. I’m still drawing…signing off.

WSCC Library Computer Lab

by Janeil_H | Mar 23, 2007 | 2007, Photos

I’m sorry I didn’t get a whole picture as the lab has cameras and they don’t like disturbances, but this is how it looks where I typically access the computer when I’m at Walters State. All my deviantART uploads, browsing the Internet, checking e-mail, using Myspace; you know, the usual. Things I don’t get to do when I’m at home as dumb as that sounds. I pretty much visit here every time I get to campus to catch up with things.

While the headphones are dumb, I sometimes use my own; but the computer is a whole lot better than that 850Mhz Windows Me machine I use. So there’s that, I guess.

If things change in the future, I hopefully don’t have to spend so much time here.

Who Am I?
