The Black Box

May 18th, 2011

Inside of my glass dome is a rather large “black box”, as most of the other players on the server call it.

Inside of this box is my home.
Black Box 1/ Ext.

Here is an aerial shot. The ceiling is made completely of glass. Inside, you can see a rather large tank. In it are about 30 squids. There are some floating trees, as well as my name!

This is a clearer view of my name. There are many exclamation points because the ground is always excited to see me.

My “real” home.

You go down this entrance…

And here are the doors with stairs leading into my house which is located directly under the squid tank.

There are glass ceilings so that I can check up on my squid. (:

So that I can accommodate my visitors…

The kitchen is in the far back here.

The dining area.

Also the whole back wall of my house is a library.

And last, but not least, the sandbox and my wolf, Tiberius.

Sandbox is for play… no serious business here!!

I hope you enjoyed that! There’s more to come. (:

Minecraft Creations

May 14th, 2011

I spend a lot of time playing this game called Minecraft. I really like it because it has some adventure to it, but mostly it can be very creative. Since I spend time making these creations, I thought I might start sharing some of these with you as time goes by. Let me know what you think of them. Some of them are completely solo and there are a few that had some outside help as well from others on the server.

Here is a gigantic glass dome/cube. Inside it are a few of the things that I’ve made.

The entrance of the glass cube:

I didn’t make the squid that you see there. That was entirely made by someone else on the server, but it fit in with my creations so it was given to me. (:

A large Domo Kun in Minecraft is a dream come true.

I made this one on my own. Also this Domo is hollow and there’s a couple chairs in there and torches. It’s a nifty little hideout spot.

This is one of my many houses in Minecraft. I wanted to make an octopus, so I placed him on top of my house.

The entrance to my house:

Here is the front of the house.

I decided to make a large Ewok. I haven’t finished him yet because I started building something else which I’ll post about later on. This Ewok is incomplete as you can see.

And this is the inside of the cube at night. In this picture, I am standing on top of a large structure which I will also show you in another post. :>

Okay that’s all for now. Enjoy your Saturday! ^_^

Today’s Accomplishments

May 9th, 2011

Aside from today’s complications I did come across two fine items.

Shoes.

Bag from Michael Kors.

What do you think?

Today is complicated

May 9th, 2011

I went to the mall today with my mother because she wanted to get some pants and I thought I’d accompany her. Little did I know I would find items that interested me as well (or maybe I did know…).

I found three pairs of shoes at Macy’s that I was willing and ready to buy. I asked the help for size 6. After about 10 minutes of waiting the nice man returns letting me know that they don’t have ANY of them in 6. Strike 1.

I also saw some Roxy flip flops that I wanted to buy for beachwear (also at Macy’s). I tried a 6. Too small. A 7. Too big. Strike 2.

I left Macy’s and passed by PacSun. Sweet. They always have flip-flops for me. I saw a pair that were even cooler than the ones I wanted from Macy’s. I asked the guy there for a size 6 and 7 to try. He goes to the back and returns 5 minutes later. They don’t have ANY size for that model in the back. Strike 3.

I saw a nice mannequin outside Hollister wearing a cute little skirt. I thought wow I want that. So I went inside and looked for it. Size L. I asked for help again. “XS please?” He searched to no avail. At this point I sighed in exasperation, but was interrupted by the sight of a blue tank with a bow on it. “Mine!” I thought. Only L and M. No XS in the store either. The store manager decided to call other stores to see if they had the skirt and tank. 15 minutes later. None of the stores he called had them. Strike 4.

I then walked into J. Crew, my new favorite store, to see if they had some brown shorts I saw earlier this weekend. They did, but no 00. Strike 5.

My mother decided to walk into Michael Kors to see some bags. At this point I thought “That’s it. I’m done with today,” when I saw a nice bag. 40% off. I bought it immediately to take advantage of my newfound luck. After I bought it I kept looking at other items. I then saw a pair of shoes I might like. I couldn’t get the right size. I walked out of the store quickly. My luck had reverted to its original state. Strike 6.

Finally I left this forsaken mall and went to another Macy’s in another mall to see if they had the shoes there. I found one of the three original shoes (not exactly that one but very similar). They didn’t have a 6. Strike 7.

So I have officially declared today over. I’m done with today. I quit. I’m going home to drink some tea and forget all about today.
