*puts on mask to prevent spread of germs*
hiya folks. feeling a bit better then i was on sunday. the party in my head has buggered off, but it feels like they dumped a tonne of razor blades down my throat as they left. been coughing up a fit and it EFFING HURTS.


but still...


huh. only 3 comments... must be the time of the year. sally on forthwith...



its been a pretty boring week so far. i had to work on Monday, we had a delivery come in, but it wasnt too bad. apart from...y'know... being ill and all. but whatever.

The meeting at the pool on sunday didnt go too badly. i dont blame the guy we met with for all our problems, he's just the poor sod the powers that be put in charge of sorting out the mess that they created. he's trying to please everybody whilst trying to stick to the rules and keep his job. cant blame the guy can ya?
the facilities are actually pretty nice, its just the pool thats crappy. but there's nothing we can do about that, its been built and its practically ready to go. and the old one is definitely being...disposed of. yeah. apparently its a listed building, so they cant touch it, but all the plans i find say they're gonna build apartments there....we'll see.

to clear up some misconception, we've been trying to cut a new deal with the pool authorities for over a year now and the fat cats dont seem to be listening. and we cant move to a new facility cuz most of the club are quite young and are from the local area. the nearest pool is a feasable switch, but it does make it a helluva lot harder for everyone to get there and back easily. hopefully we can convince everyone that we should be allowed to use the WHOLE pool, instead of sharing...



yesterday and today i've had off work. which is pretty nice, especially as its given me time to recover. the store opens on FRIDAY, so we get about TEN days of christmas rush, and then we get to pause for a breather briefly before the january sales hit full force (ironically on the 27th of December...although i suppose the fact they advertise these sales BEFORE christmas makes it even more ironic. stupid commericalism)

went to the supermarket yesterday with my brother to pick up some stuff for my mum. however, we ran out of petrol before we evn got to the supermarket!!! ^^;; so we had to call mum and get her to bring a little emergancy tank of petrol out to us so we could make it to the nearest petrol station. ^^;;;;
shopping at the supermarket was suprisingly fun though. XD me and my brother are a right coupla clowns sometimes. we can really make each other laugh. fun n games. lol

been busy buying stuff recently, which is a really bad habit i have just before christmas. ^^;

bought Gundam SEED vol 9 on DVD and Jinki Extend vol 2 on DVD. and i also bought the movie Serenity on DVD cuz it was going cheap. and i also bought a book. ^^

recently been watching Gundam 00 episodes (the new Gundam series from Japan). they've just released the 10th episode and its getting hella exciting. ^^ im really enjoying this.

i still dont have any comics for you guys, but i have taken a butt-load of pictures for you. enjoy.



my new book i bought. Nemi is a kick-ass newspaper cartoon strip by Norweigan artist called Lisa Myhre. her humour and art really inspires me.



our Advent Calanders. from left to right is my older brother's winnie the pooh calander, my doctor who calander in the middle and then my younger brother's pirates calander. This is of course done in age order, but i really should have my calander higher up, cuz im the tallest in the family and its annoying to have to bend down to reach my calander... lol


and now we return to my favourite past time...



Patlabor Unit 2 MG! i was a little annoyed that the visor piece was ALL transparent...the bit around the edge should be white. now it just looks stupid.



Unit 2 is 98% identical to Unit 1, the only differences being the Head, the Shoulder armor, the addition of the shotgun weapon (in the left hand, you probably cant see it) and the pilot figure. it probably was a waste of money, but hey, whats the fun of only having one Labor?



my newly acquired Turn A Gundam. weirdest kit i've ever put together, but suprisingly easy. this is the Turn A with the hammer weapon



the chest should open up to reveal missle launchers, but the mechanism is kinda finiky...



the leg mechanism is awesome, but doesnt allow the mech to kneel, which is kind of disappointing. and the hatch to the cockpit keeps falling off. grr. but all in all its an brillaint kit. a nice addition to my already extensive collection.



On the left, MG RX-78-2 Gundam. the first MG ever produced in 1995. on the right, MG Turn A Gundam. MG number 100 released August this year. thats 12 years of MG technology and 98 models seperating the two. and it really does show. still, the ole RX-78 can still pull off some fancy moves. ^^ and if that doesnt impress you, there's always the other RX-78 MGs...ver 1.5, One Year War version, Katoki version... and if THATS not enough, they're bringing out a version 2 with new technology in the new year. i cant wait! and very few of you care! lol

excuse my nerdiness.

if you havent already, go watch the video in the last post. i maintain that its the best anime Ending EVAH.


till next time!


no quote today, im feeling lazy...
