Weekly Wrap Up (2026.07.25)

These are starting to get long, its almost like I should just blog smaller posts more. I have not been following it but I caught the end of the World Cup last weekend while at my parent's house for a visit. I don't understand fútbol at all. I mean I do, I get the gist, but like, they added 20 minutes because no one had scored? Then randomly added another 5 minutes? Maybe because the refs kept eating up the clock looking at injuries? Anyway, it was kind of exciting at the end, at least. In other "fun" times this…

Fortnite – LEGO – It Came From Beneath and Hot Rod Cars

There are a couple of events going on in LEGO Fortnite at the moment for some neat builds. One new, one returning. The Thing from Beneath Event The returning one is The Thing from Beneath, a Ninjago based quest that will earn an Airship blueprint. It starts at the Airship dock with Captain Flintlocke Instead of commenting the Thing may return, he tells you it has, and offers to trade some special bait for 150 Bamboo. With the bait acquired, the next step us to head to the Thing from Beneath's spawn point, which should be nearby. My was a…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.07.18)

It looks like my work trips to St Louis are going to continue for the foreseeable future, so I guess I'll need to work out some sort of fun routine there. Maybe see if there are any good music or collectible shops int he area down there for when I am down that way. Otherwise it's been a pretty standard issue week. Nothing much special happening, just the usual nonsense. Music Last Sunday was another MCCD Free concert. This one was Broken Brogue, an Irish group doing Irish music. Well, probably Irish. The lead guy said he was Irish and…

Blaugust 2026 is Coming

I wasn't really planning to do Blaugust this year, what with barely making a post a week these days, but I think maybe in honor of it's creator Belghast, I will at least throw my hat in the ring. I am making no real commitment to any number of posts mind you. Though I did, maybe 31 days for the previous two years I participated. Once on [Blogging Intensifies] and once on Lameazoid. Because BI is gone though all those posts are here on this blog now. There is a whole mess of information and a sign up form over…

Fortnite Droid Tycoon – C-3PO Event

Another weekend, another special Droid Event. The people pushing these are learning a bit I think because they ran the last event for R2-D2 for two weekends. This event for C-3PO is running for 24 hours straight. The main complaint with these events has been the times. They last one weekend (well, maybe two now), and sometimes its random 2 hour blocks, or random 4 hour blocks, basically, you have to be available during a limited time. Which isn't always an option if you work or have kids or whatever. One other annoyance here, they can't rerun old events. The…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.07.11)

Maybe one day I will do real blog posts again. I mean, technically this is probably closer to "real blogging" than silly reviews or whatever. I actually have been feeling… more into the idea again lately, I guess. Technically the Fourth of July happened after last post, I went down to the bridge and watched the city fireworks as we often do. No fun travel food this week. I just got QDOBA and another, different Crazy Bowl dish. I did look up and found a ramen place near the office down there, but I've been working an hour earlier than…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.07.04)

Happy 4th of July… I guess. It's the big "250th Anniversary" but it really doesn't feel like anything here is worth celebrating. I don't have plans. I might go watch fireworks later on the bridge around the corner. It's never crowded and it's got a nice view over the lake. I tried going tot he Zoo and Children's Museum area last year but it was more crowded and the view was not great because of trees and light posts and people. I want to throw out a bit of a send off. Almost two years ago exactly, I bought this…
