HEAD:
Hat: Lee Van Cleef style hat, with decorative leather covering, overlarge brim.
Face: Silicone rubber facemask with dentures (attached underneath; I say underneath, but Rogue Artist says otherwise) http://www.rogue-artist.com/bane.html
Head covering (for cybernetic breathing tubes): Scuba hood, esp Henderson Lycra Hood or Microprene Hood http://www.123scuba.com/c-neoprene-hoods.html [Note: must extend at least past the neck of the tunic]
Cybernetic breathing tubes: Buy either ribbed hose/piping; or regular rubber pipe, then attach silver/dark gray?...couplers/fittings. Hydraulic hose seems to be what fits to his head covering... http://www.discounthydraulichose.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=84&Click=8783

EDIT: Oct. 27, 09 3:30PM

Turns out finding wide brimmed hats are incredibly hard to find. I'll keep looking, but I'm starting to think I'd rather make this myself.

EDIT: Oct. 27, 09 4:15PM

Well, Bane's hat looks like a Boss of the Plains, with some modifications. For one, there is that decorative leather bit that runs across the sides. For another, the brim is a lot wider and slopes downward along the sides and especially in the back. The hatband, as far as I can tell, is a plain black/darkbrown leather band at the base of the crown (well, duh. where else would a hatband be?).

EDIT: Oct. 30, 09 7:43PM

Gloves look to be like driving gloves. I'll find a pair, probably modify it a bit. Note on the hat though: hat must be stiff. In most scenes, the hat barely moves.

My parents are urging me to get all As here.

They're thinking of moving to Korea next year... and thus, I'd have to attend a Korean college/university. ;_;

My parents are coming home today.

Honestly, I feel glad they're home. Then I won't have to do all that menial stuff my mom does every morning. Like taking Charlie out to piss at 6:30AM.

Plus, I won't have to eat out at McD's or Taco Bell, or Subway, or Chipotle.


The only thing I'll miss is WoW... And I finally meet Cere, and then he turns out to be a bastard, just as I leave... Hope Dos and he can resolve their little fight...

Damn...
I've gotta go to Mason to watch A Tale of Two Cities, since they're the only ones that have a copy of that darned movie... ghey.

Parking's going to be a bitch.

Laterall.

Random things I've learned:

-Kazuhiko Inoue, the seiyuu of Kakashi, is the seiyuu of Hatori!

-Ayame's voice in English is weird, yet is very effective when he pops up unexpectedly.

-In the manga, EVERYONE finds their love, or gets into a relationship. That makes me somewhat sad.

-The guy who does Ayame's voice in the English dub is Roronoa Zoro in One Piece, and Vegeta in Dragonball Z.

Maybe.

Anyway.

I'm taking Western Civ as my summer course, since KOREAN I was CANCELLED.
CANCELLED.

...who knew no one liked Korean?

Or maybe its the professors. Though I'm sure this professor was the better of the two my brother had...oh well.

Anyway, I replaced Korean with Western Civ, and...I wish I could be in Diem and Peter's class. They said their teacher rocked.

My professor...is nice, yes, but who knows. He could hide a vicious streak.

First day of class was yesterday, and it was alright...I must remember to bring FOOD and DRINK every class because it is THREE HOURS AND FORTY MINUTES LONG.

Points are based on four quizzes, a midterm assignment, and a final assignment. I'm vaguely worried, since I get lazy a lot. Which leads to me not reading the assigned readings to me failing the quizzes to me failing the assignments to complete utter FAIL-ure of the course.

But then, less work for me.
I should be scared.

Going to DMV Friday to take my written test. I must remember hand signals...!

-Weapons/Holster-

Rarely seen with a weapon or a holster, but the officer shot by the Rebs when they enter the hangar bay control room is seen wearing one.

According to the SWTroopers site, the weapon is the MerrSonn blaster, similar to Han's gay-looking blaster pistol.

Nothing particularly special about the holster: brown, with two loops to attach to the belt.

-Helmet-
Don Post Deluxe (fiberglass)
Don Post Classic Action (spun-vinyl)
Don Post Standard (smaller than canon)/Rubies helmet
Out of production, but float around Ebay.
Or you could try some of the garrison forums.

Rubies helmet is produced using the old Don Post Standard molds, w/mixed reviews. Earwells tend to warp, but that can be fixed.

After buying said helmet, it needs a new paintjob, the lenses must be replaced, and the cogs repainted. Frown may be drilled out for airiness, and padding placed within helmet.

Also, some sort of head covering is needed, such as a balaclava or headsock, since the back of one's head and neck shows when the helmet is on.

Gallagher won't notice.
I hope.

I was most definitely born in the wrong time period.

Well.
Seems 8 torrents run at once slows down the process.

I was hoping it wouldn't... -_-"

I don't get it...
The torrent with the most seeds (15) is at zero.
The torrent with the least seeds (1) is going strong (compared to the others).

My first entry and I have nothing important to say.

Besides the usual complaining consisting of: I have an anatomy test Friday, UC app due Thursday, SAT IIs on Saturday, and a Gov test Wednesday. WTmoly-crapper-crap.

Thorson cut off his mustache/beard thing. He looks weird now. O3O And at the beginning of class, he's over at his desk and I'm at Croston's desk and he's like, "Hey, c'mere" and I'm like "OK" and I walk over to his desk and he pulls open his drawer and I'm like "O3O" 'cause he had a hoard of candy in there and he's like, "Take anything except the Starburst" and I'm liek, ">w

Wow.
