Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?
EDIT: heh, before we start with the post i wrote out last night, i just wanted to show you guys the view i woke up to this morning...



thats gonna be fun having to drive to work in. Global Warming my arse....

anyway, on with the post proper.

Hi folks. Sorry I didn’t update on Sunday. My internets was being evil. But I think I solved the problem, fingers crossed.

BTW, this will be a hella long post with lots of pictures. Just to let ya know. ^^

First off I would like to get this off my chest:

TACHIKOMAS!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! NOT AGAIN!!!!!!

Achem. Sorry. Was watching the last episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig the other day.

Not a huge amount has happened since last Wednesday. I’ve been working away, as usual. Its all money, ne?

You know I said I might be taking up Japanese at an adult education thing? Well the class appears to clash with when I might be going to Camp America (if I manage to get a placement that is) and I wanna do the Camp thing more than Japanese…though I still might sit down and learn it some day.

Uhm…I cant think of anything really interesting or significant to speak about today. I watched “The Man who sued God” last week. Billy Connolly. Genius. And uhm…my mum is feeling a bit sick at the mo. They sent her home from work. I think it might have something to do with the fact she’s not stressed and under pressure with college commitments now. It’s the same with my bro. They work so hard they don’t have time to be sick, and when they finally relax, it all catches up on them.

I designed a new character (or should that be characters?) the other day. click HERE to view it.

Yup. I'm weird.

I don’t have a Chibi darke days for you, but I do have some ideas for comics. Again, its finding the time for them amongst everything else I'm doing. I'm also at the moment in the middle of doing a really short 6 page manga for TheO’s Fan Manga hub. I’ve drawn it out. Now I need to ink it, scan it, modify it and submit it. It’s a very short piece from my original Gundam fiction. It’s the prologue to part four of the fiction. ^^


Okies, remember how I said I was gonna show you guys pictures of all the mecha in my room (and subsequent lack of space for new stuff)?

Well, here we are! This is Darke Angels Mecha PhotoBlog (with some other pics thrown in on the side).

Normal stuff applies. Hover the cursor over the image to get a witticism or poignant fact. If ya cannae see the pictures, just imagine Gundams, and you’ll get the gist of it.

Oh, and one more rule: NOBODY MENTION THE WORD “TRANSFORMERS”!!
I like Transformers, and I really wanna see the new film, but it really PISSES ME OFF when people call Gundams “Transformers”. All it does is show that you are ignorant and unworthy of my l337 mecha-ness.


Anyhoo, on with the blog.
Key: LM= Limited Model
HG= High Grade

Basically I'm gonna go round my room, starting at my door and going round clockwise.

So there you have it. That is my mecha collection in its entirety. To put those into persective:



That’s one side of my room with all my mecha from Eva-02 to the SD Gundams



This is another side with my Gundams from the Zaku 2 onwards, including the “Hanger” shelving unit.



And this is the third wall. The fourth wall is a window, mostly.
The stuff you can see inside the blue box lit up is my manga/anime collection. This is most of my dvds, and most of my manga. And a few magazines and art books too.



This is part of the fourth wall, which holds the rest of my dvds in the tower and on the small shelves. ^^ I have too many dvds. But I don’t care. Much.



This is me. ^^ with my new hat. I need a shave don’t i?

Darke Angel: man with too much money and time on his hands, or not enough? We may never know.


Hope you enjoyed that. see ya again soon! Hopefully with less pictures!!!
