Jamba nightmare and more.

Had another bad dream about Jamba, somthing similar to before, but worse. Mostly because it was Matt, Natalie, Brittany, and myself closing, and just as we were finishing up Natalie and Brittany split (Brittany hasn't worked at Jamba since April or something). Then it was myself and Marilee, Matt kinda vanished.

We were having someone professionally clean the floors and while we were preparing to shut down completely a mass of about 20 people came to the door and the cleaners LET THEM IN!

So I had to do register and the one that we usually use was out of comission so I had to use the other one and I couldn' find anything on it and when I punched something it gave the calorie count rather than the price! GAH!

So then the dream shifted. This one I was apparently the head of some sort of odd expedition in the superstition mountains, but I don't think that's where we were. I just remember a referance to four peaks. Stupid dull-wits nearly got me killed when we were going down a slope.

Dream shifted again. I found a bird, except it wasn't a bird. It was a dinosaur. Small enough to fit in my hand it was obviously a young one. It had soft downy feathers much like a baby bird, but it had claws and TEETH! He was a very spiffy looking little dino-bird.

And that's the end of my dreams. I need to quit Jamba, I don't want anymore food-related work nightmares.

*crawls off to eat and get ready*

I feel gosh-darn accompished!

Cribbage, I've done so much today! Well, in my opinion. During art, rather than working on any of my sketches *cough.* I decided to work on Kashain. I figured out the 6 Tynomai types and the 8 Frineir types! Muah ha ha! Names and everything! I feel so spiffy. To prove that I am, if it's possible, a little TOO obsessed with my world, I used the "rules" of the species' langauges in order to decifer what the names of the types should sound like. I also managed to assign the regions to the Kierr types.

As if that weren't enough I managed an hour long break at work (it was REALLY SLOW and there were three of us so we decided to cut labor) and got nearly all of the letters for the Kierr's written language down as well as decide how it is written. I managed to decide how many basic human types will be present, but now I think I'll just name the people after the region of Mehm that they origionated from. This shall be fun, I'll have a more complete map and figure out Kri's lineage while I'm at it! Muah ha ha. I feel so accomplished!

Oh, yes, still need to finish my sword. I started working on it last night. Only cut off the padding above where I wanted the handgrip to be and duct taped it. I need to find the aluminum tape and do the blade now. If I have time I might make a matching out out of the other hockey stick. I think these might work better than the wood one I was planing on doing origionally.

While driving Lance and Skyler around I finally picked up a box for my mass of notecards, snitched some new exacto knife blades because the one I have is dull, and also snitched another sketchbook for 2.00 (hurra for Osco!) as well as three frames for my three cougar posters. Alas, the frames were too small *shakes fist.* The prints are 11X14, the frames are 11X14, what's the problem?! Ach, must be the evils of the English system. Where's metric?

So tomorrow: Go to oral surgeon and get check-up for my teeth, go to stable and see if anyone's there to talk to about a job and lessons, and return to walgreens and get my money back for the frames. Oh, and work on my research paper.

I don't work tomorrow! *rejoices greatly* Wednesday shall not be as hecktic as it usually is. So, yes, work on sword now, muah ha ha ha!

*maniacle cackling shall be heard a lot*

I have the sword! I've rigged the hockey stick to look somewhat like Kri's sword. Now I just need to patch up the open spots and scrawl some Kierr runes. Not the ones that will actually be on the sword, but they'll be runes nonetheless! Most likely the North East variation because that's the one that I want to work on and I'd rather not try doing ALL of the variations! That'd give me a headache and I don't have the time to do ALL of the variations right this moment, maybe after I get the basic runes for all of the other species . . .. So anyway!

I now have sword, don't think I'll be able to finish my gloves, so I'll be using the ones that I got in Lübeck. As far as doing the scars on my face I'm going to see what I can do with some make-up and attempt to find something at some store if I get the time.

I just had an idea and then it ran away, curses. Hmm, let's see.

Ah yes, need to read some pages for German, no problem. Also need to be sure to do my Yoga tomorrow and attack the gym and do aerobics, heck, I'll make time and do them here at home, drag Appy outside and run like crazy out in the greenbelt with one of her balls that she sometimes seems surgically attached to.

I do believe I shall finish up my Kierr runes, that is, after I figure out which ones I need to drop because the Kierr can't make some sounds tht humans can. I find it amusing that the Southern types can't pronounce "sh," while the Northern types can't pronounce "s." I think the only type that can say both is the Urrien (oor-RIIN), which are found throughout all of Roomir, not sure though.

So anyway, stuff to entertain myself with! Muah! I feel so productive today! Wee!

Kashian ramblings

Let's see now . . .
The Shamien have the least amount of types, despite the fact that they're the oldest sentient life form. Y'have the Kirhom, which are the all-around average, Raquinn is an example. The Kirhom stand around 5' at the shoulder. The Kirtem are the heavyweights. Meant for cold climates and not particularly endowed in the ways of wings. Though their wings are shorter than the Kirhom or the Homich's they have a much larger endclaw on their wingtips. The tallest of the Kirtem reach 6' at the shoulder. The Homich are light-built and smaller than the other two. They rove the airid regions of Kashian and can go more than a week without water. Being light and more leant to take wing the Homich are only 4' at average.

The Amrea have five types. The Zach (German "ch," suppose its comparible to the sound a goose or swan makes when it hisses "chhhhh!") are the tallest and have the heaviest build. Their dew claws (at least that's what I call them, the inner claw on the foot that doesn't support any weight) are slightly enlarged, moreso in the males as they use them in courtship disputes. These guys reach a full 7'6" average at the hip (being theropods their hips tend to be higher than their shoulders). Naht Amrea are next in line. Their thumbclaw I compare with the sickle claw found on the raptors, and is used much the same, except it is located on the hands. They have the slanting skull of the other Amrea (the Zach have a more boxed skull). These guys are around 6' at the hip. Drets are next in line. They share the enlarged dews of the Zach, but theirs is moreso and, again, they are like the sickle claw of the velaca and utahraptors. They tend to be more tempermental than the other four types and being 5'5" at the hip makes them one to avoid being on the bad side of as Amrea are a little less withheld by social norms and standards. Second to the last are the Mieks. Their build is very light and they have a drastically tapering snout, moreso than most. They have a slender, lean body and are fairly quick on their feet. They don't go over 5' at the hip as a general rule. The Keilt are the smallest type as they average around 3'6". These little guys have horny protrusions on their eyeridges and one on their nose as well. These are more prominent in the males as courtship contests tend to end in ramming their skulls together. Their arms, in comparison, are somewhat longer and their body is usually feathered due to their small size. All Amrea are born with feathers, but the larger types shed it and have scaly hide whenever the weather permits. Once the temperature falls below a certain degree for more than a full day in comes the protective feathering and by the next day you have a fully-featherd, if somewhat irritable Amrea. The feathers shed on the adults again once the temperature rises and says above the mark for a full day.

I think I'll stop now. Muah ha ha. I feel so accomplished! I think you're sick of hearing me say that, but ah well! I need to do a pronounciation guide. If I ever get a mic that works that'd be wonderful, but until then, you'll just have to suffer with guessing!
