I figured out a great way to do water in my renders. Not large amounts, just a little. Here's an example:

It involves using lathe NURBS and splines for the glass, a special glass texture of my own, and a metaball modifier plus particle emitter for the water itself. I apologize for the background setting of the image, but it's 5 in the morning right now and I don't feel like going more in depth.

Trying to think of what else to write.

I have a huge carpet burn from a turf field from my soccer game earlier today. It was the last play by the other team and he knocked me from behind and I stepped funny and slid for like literally 15-20 feet because it was raining so hard. We won 3-0.

Canucks lost 3-2 to Colorado =(

That sucks. Didn't get to see too much of the game though.
