BWA-HA-HA-HA!!!! DARKEITIS? THERE IS NO CURE!!!
i was feeling ill on sunday hence the short post. it shall not re-occur. XP





hey folks. so another half week has gone by and truth be told, i havent really done much except work. again. work has been kinda boring, though parts of it are fun, and its not too stressful either. most of the time im just wandering around the store making sure everything is tidy and where it should be. its quite relaxed, but terribl boring. and people are slobs too. ou would think it would be easy enough to put clothing back where you got it from, and leave it how you find it too. but no, im forever zipping up jackets and folding shirts, only to go awa for two minutes and then come back and do it all again. its very frustrating.

the best parts of the job are working on the till and talking to the customers. i find this hugely ironic though, cuz when i worked for the supermarket 4 years ago (as my long time compadres may well remember...or not) those where the two things i hated the most about my job...being on the till and talking to customers. however, working at Cotswolds and the kind of customers they get there is INFINITELY better then working at TESCOS anyday. and besides, that was 4 years ago. i'd like to think i've changed since then.


one of the more "interesting" parts of my job is to go find stuff in the stockroom. i think that at any other store it would be quite boring, but our stockroom isnt quite sorted out yet. honestly, everytime i go in there its like Raiders of the Lost Ark. tis quite a scary thing. luckily i can normally recruit the services of the Admin lady, Ines, to help me in my various quests. her "office" is in the stock room and indeed, the stock room is her responsibility (so its her fault its so freakin messy. lol XD ) but seriously, Ines is really nice and we get on well. in fact, i get on well with most of the staff.


i cannae believe its almost christmas. where the frig did December go? oh wait, it was just doing what the rest of the year did... dissappear. sheesh. if every year from now on is going to go as fast as 2007 did, im going to get OLD (or worse: MIDDLE-AGED) very quickly... T.T still too much to do!!!!!


today is my day off. I gotta get a train ticket, but then im going to go and see "The Golden Compass" at a cinema somewhere. i've been wanting to see the film since i first heard of it. i loved the book (which is called "Northen Lights" over here) and i've heard that unlike most book adaptions, the film version of this book is actually NOT CRAP. so im really excited to go see it.
normally when i go see a film i take the car or bus, but i think im gonna ride Luna to the movie theatre today. this does mean i have to lug all my bike gear into the cinema with me, but since Kung-fu ended for this year, i havent rode Luna for over a week and i feel like im neglecting her. i wont get a lot of chances to ride her over the next year, cuz i have to take the train to work and then im planning on being away all summer, so i wanna ride her when i can. i've also got to try and get my bike license this upcoming year. i know i always say this, but i really have to this year, else i'll never get round to doing it. poor Luna's been riding round with Learner plates for almost 4 years now. and whilst she is, i haveta retake my CBT every two years. so im gonna try and get my licence, take off the L plates and start using her more regularly. however, if this keeps up (the lack of use and if im unable to sort out a license) i may have to do the unthinkable...but thats something i really dont wanna consider right now.


tonight im hoping to go out for a drink with my best friend Nic. i say best friend, but the reality is i havent seen him since April. and i really wanna see him, so fingers crossed!


in response to comments on my last post:

ANGEL ZAKURO: we dont get much snow cuz English climate sucks crippled monkey anus. you can also blame global warming, us being on the recieving end of the Gulf Stream or cuz we're british. and the british dont do snow. i dunno.

MASTER HIKO: i dont submit the CDD strips to TheO's fan art for two reasons: 1: its not fanart. 2: its not my best artwork. i only wanna showcase my better stuff. or not.


oh and 3: im too freakin lazy.



so yah.


more photos! the never ending PHOTOBLOG! rar.


a particularly nasty habit i have right before christmas is to go around and BUY stuff for ME, instead of asking for it for christmas. this is partly because im sure that no-one would buy half this stuff anyway, even if i asked for it, but the other reason is that this stuff is like gold dust around where i live. if you dont pick it up when you see it, you will have lost it forever. i learned that lesson with Gunbuster... T.T


anyways, i picked up these in the last week:



from the new Gundam 00 series, HG 1/144 scale Gundam Kyrios! (i have yet to find the time to make it)




also from Gundam 00, HG 1/144 scale Gundam Dynames!

the funny thing here was that i bought a pair of flight stands when i bought the Kyrios and Dynames on Friday. but when i got home i realised i had bought the large Size 1 stands rather than the smaller size 2 stands. so on monday i went back to the store to pick up a pair of size 2 stands (which take up less space and are perfect for 1/144 scale models) and when i was there i saw this fella on the shelf:



TACHIKOMA!!!!!!!!!!! WAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he's currenlty sitting on my TV, but im sure i'll have him doing poses all over my room soon enough. XD
Tachikoma is from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex if you are wondering...


the only anime i've had time to watch recently is the latest episode of Gundam 00 and i've also been re-watching Macross Zero too. 00 is getting uber exciting. im really hooked on it now. and Zero is an excellent prequel to the Macross series. ^^


well thats it from me today. is that post suffciently long enough? i think so...



Till next time!!!
