Starbucks Chronicles Vol. 05...
March 3, 2008...
Starbucks Rockwell 6:30-ish in the morning
I got in super early. Too lazy to open up the office. So, I went to Starbucks to do my usual chronicles to pass the time (a little over an hour), as well as bring a couple of 40k miniatures for some paint retouching for a change.
First people I see in the place is a couple of hip seniors. I say Hip because they wore rubber shoes jogging outfits and have their ears connected to iPods. I figure them to be in their 70's, obviously enjoying life.
Some noteable patrons this morning: I guy sporting an artistic skinhead haircut. I dunno if I'd like to have my hair done like that. I cute girl in a tiedye(?) shirt driving a red Vios comes in and orders. Never really saw much of her after that.
I decided to order a bacon strip, cheese and egg sandwich on multi-grain bagel. Still no salad.
Decided to eat al fresco for a change. Eating outside may be a good or bad thing.
Started off some Black Legion figs, two Aspiring Champions and 4 Icon Bearers. I'm not exactly keen on dunking these plastic models in some brake fluid to strip off the paint, besides the thickness of the existing paint was reasonable enough to let some of the finer details stand out and maybe a few cleanings here and there might just do the trick. I started off by cleaning the excess flash (that's excess plastic where the casting molds usually meet) with my X-Acto knife. While I was doing this, I was also tried to map out how I will go about repainting/retouching the existing paint job. Plus, made a quick inventory of what paints I will need to ready or restock so as to keep the momentum going.
Guess it's time to head on back.

- I get some sun - Good
- Heard a labrador bark somewhere in the distance
- Flies are a slight nuisance. Tried to slash one with my knife - not exactly the most wise or literally well-described thing to do. Suddenly I need to change knives just to be sure. :P
- The air's a little cool, being close to a garden and all. I just hope the gardener doesn't water the foliage with me on the other side of it.
- Got enough sunlight to try fix a few miniatures before work
