Feeling Fine.

jmfargoHey Everyone. I know I kind of freaked out the other day, and I want to thank you all for your advice. For the record I'm feeling much better today. I'm not sure I can honestly say how much of the advice I took, but what ended up really helping is the fact that I had a few extra days off for the weekend, went to a nice wedding and reception, and just got to spend time with friends. I really think the amount of time I've been working, thinking about work, and fretting over the work that I still had to get to was really getting to me. Time to myself was a sparse commodity and I needed it. So, thanks again for your help, suggestions, and well wishes, I really appreciate it.

I've been working in my workshop lately on the latex foam swords (pictures to come later, promise), and I'm realizing that as a workshop my basement floor sucks. Every workshop I've seen that's been owned by a "I'm a manly man with a workshop" person has had a good, old, dented-scratched-and-painted-on workshop bench that looks old and quite possibly hand made. I do NOT have the skills to make my own table, but desperately want one of these things, if only to feel "complete," I guess.
Does anyone out there have a good workbench and know where to get one, have plans on how to make one that I can show to someone more capable than myself? I love working on stuff, but using my bandsaw while sitting on the floor in front of it just lacks that safe feeling.

Went out on Sunday with some friends to a little place called Fuji Grill. The atmosphere was invitingly warm and cozy. The decor was beautiful and the wait staff friendly. It's very difficult to find fault in a place that my "I'm not picky" picky friend Derek deems as "surprisingly not bad!" (In his defense, he was rather adventurous in what he ordered, and I was glad it paid off for him. Me? I got the fried chicken.)
This is definitely a new place to put on the "must return" list. Good food, and an extensive sushi list means that if the quality remains the same in all aspects I can see this becoming one of the top spots on that list.
Awesome time.

I have a bunch of ideas banging around my head and I'm going to let a bit of it out today later in a relatively well thought out post here on my journal. So a quick poll of those interested, which of the following would interest you more:
1 - The Zombie Apocalypse and Why You Should Quit Smoking Now
2 - Jeremiah's Guide To Becoming Famous - Rule 1
3 - You, Me, and the Short Bus We Rode In On
