Huh…ended up being a pretty good day…

Yeah…yesterday was a good day all in all. Sun was shining, I had a pretty good time at work, and I received some stuff in the post. Good stuffs. Like a Laptop Battery. (from china. Go fig.) and t-shirts. That I, like, ACTUALLY ordered and paid for myself. Rather then winning them in a competition or getting hand me downs. Or seeing something in a shop and buying it. I dunno…

Here are my new t-shirts.

oh yes…
this is my fav out of the two, but of course, I love em both

Yup. I have purchased Gundam T-Shirts. Because I am a nerd, and I love Gundam.

Speaking of Gundam:

Under Unicorn Mode

I finished my Gundam Unicorn Master Grade Ver. Ka. Model. It was an utter BEAST to put together, and to be honest, I'm vaguely disappointed with it. Its almost impossible to pose without it falling over. Also, it has a transformation ability, and, as is always the case with Gundam Models that transform (Wing, Wing Zero, Epyon, Aegis, Zeta Plus (especially Zeta Plus) it is very fragile and bits keep falling off randomly. But to be honest, it looks so damned good, I’ll forgive these flaws. I guess I'm just gonna haveta limit my posing of it, and just use it as a centre-piece display item.

It comes with a bazooka too, but that’s even harder to pose than the beam rifle.
Under Unicorn mode is a little easier to pose then its alternate mode
Destroy Mode

This thing is also the biggest 1/100 scale model I own (but only when in destroy mode…it gains about an inch in height). Here’s how it stacks up against my other 1/100 models…

UC MS tend to run in about 18 metres tall…which works out as about 18 cm in model size. Unicorn Destroy Mode is 21m tall…21cm model
my former biggest 1/100 model, my Zeta Plus A1
this is where its gonna stay for a while, till I build a flight stand for it.

So yeah. Me love Gundam. very much.



So, as I was saying, yesterday was a pretty good day. it was actually kinda warm in London, and I had a good day at work. I helped out Sonia, our visual merchandising person with rearranging some of the downstairs shelves to make it work better. Its kinda like Retail Feng Shui. Anyway, it kept me occupied and made the day go a little quicker. I like working with Sonia, she’s fun.

I got go to the dentist tomorrow, for a quick check-up just before I leave for the states. Good thing too, I got a wisdom tooth (ironic, no?) coming up in the back of my mouth. Its been coming up for ages, but everynow and then it makes an actual effort of emerging from the gum, and when it does, my mouth hurts like hell. It was so painful, it actually kept me awake at 4am the other day…not fun. Luckily the night after that I had some Neurofen, a painkiller, and slept like the dead. Awesome. Hopefully the dentist can give some recommendations on how to deal with the tooth. Its probably gonna have to come out at some point, but for the time being, I figure painkillers whenever it flares up is gonna be the order of the day.

Thanks for your comments on my last post. To Dark Phoenix, I know the ice caps are melting… the concern was whether they were gonna melt fast enough to flood the whole world within my life-time. Heh, I forgot about people who get sea-sick…I guess you’ll have to man the little bits of land that are left over for us boat people to come and buy stuff off of. XD

So yeah….boats. ^^

Eh, that’s it from me today. Till next time folks. Keep it real, keep it random and keep coming back here. XD

Ciao.
