DIY Nature Experimenting Open Thread

by Alxala

Yesterday I’ve been working on a DIY nature experiment lately:

What I did there is I used an empty cocoa powder container, fill it up with some water and then carefully add some seeding dandelions one at a time without knocking any parachute seeds off the puffballs so that the dandelions will be quenched with water in order to last a little longer like all other flowers. 🙂

Oh, and speaking of nature, I was out back pulling up a few more weeds and picked up a lot of fallen leaves off the ground just to tidy up our backyard a bit. Then after I got all that done my family and I enjoyed some exquisite submarine sandwiches that we ordered from a Subway restaurant. At least the food from Subway is far better than the food from McDonald’s.

Open thread, ladies and gents!

I Can Haz Latest Fashion Accessories

I sold enough junk from my Steam inventory the other day to purchase two all-class cosmetics from the market since I’ve been doing some TF2 lately:

I decided to get rid of my blonde Brutal Bouffant for this team-colored one.
This will be my 2nd painted pair of Summer Shades.

I can’t wait to get more fashion equipment and other stuff when the Steam Halloween Sale begins. 🙂

I finally managed to finish up my stoner comic project this evening. This story is about two stoner dudes who went to go the Annual Bongathon in hopes of getting a winning grand prize which a glass smoking bong:

Have a Bright White Beret

I’ve been drawing more artwork lately this evening after enjoying dinner which is hamburgers that Tomala made for the whole family. It was an art picture of a white Bill’s hat based on an all-class cosmetic in TF2:

Credit goes to Valve and TF2 for coming up with this hat from a long time ago.

The reason why I made that is because I was thinking about getting the ‘An Extraordinary Abundance of Tinge’ paint tool for my Bill’s hat at the Steam market after purchasing some Steam games from the Halloween Sale if I have enough money to buy the paint tool. I’ve also been working on my comic project yesterday and it’s all been finished up except for the characters’ speech bubbles, but I’ll be planning on doing that the next time I work on it.

All The Leaves Are Down

by Alxala

Papa Smurf and I were out back raking up some fallen leaves this evening and make them into a pile next to the compost pile:

It only took less than a half-hour to get the backyard job done. We didn’t get all the leaves but we were able to get a lot of them. So tomorrow I was thinking about is go out back and rip up more weed and fake grass if I could track them down hard enough.

Last Open Thread of the Month

by Alxala

I have managed to complete my nature-related collection earlier this afternoon after pulling up some unwanted weeds and fake grass out back especially the ones from yesterday that my father mowed down some tall grass with the weed wacker. It was a collection of seeding dandelion puffballs that I carefully stored them all in my small rectangular wooden box without knocking the parachute seeds loose, and so far I counted a total of 24 puffballs. Here’s a picture of what I’m talking about:

So now I’ve got a good batch of white fuzzy puffy bubbles in a box. 😛 Anyways, my family and I enjoyed some delicious hot dogs that my mother cooked up for dinner since we had hamburgers for yesterday’s dinner. My compliments to the chef that hot dogs and hamburgers are both exquisitively delicious as long as they’re homemade. 🙂

After I got done eating dinner I went down in the garage to help my father mount two fittings from under the Mustang while I move to the passenger’s side of it and turn the tubes to the right several times in order to complete the process. Either way, we got all that car work done and out of the way for the night.

Open Thread! Have at it, ppl!

A visit to the Scribblenauts Unmasked workshop

by Alxala

I’ve been checking out the Scribblenauts Unmasked workshop on Steam earlier this evening, and one of my workshop items has made its way to the top of the first page as this week’s most popular items:

I was really happy to see Super Mecha Death Christ reaching 1st place as the most popular workshop item of the week. 🙂
