Kotobukiya’s Mahoro w/Bike

Posted under Figures

Sadly I’m still sick but I’m feeling much better. I had more energy today to actually go outside for a change and i went and did another photo shoot with Mahoro this time. I’ve been dying to do a Mahoro shoot since i got her. I originally intended to do this on another stretch of road farther away but traffic has increased pretty badly in that area, and i didn’t want to risk putting myself or Mahoro in any danger.

Max Factory Shirakawa Kotori

Posted under Figures

Here we are with my newest photo shoot! Max Factory’s Shirakawa Kotori. She was a figure i had to add to my collection and i’m glad i was able to get my hands on her. I had finally seen Da Capo and loved Kotori as a character and knew i had to get this figure. She’s an older figure and but you can see that Max Factory had Quality as a priority from the start with their figures.

Slept the day away

Posted under Life

Been in bed all weekend, sick. I’ve got a sore throat and a runny nose and it sucks. Worst part is i HAVE to get better by monday. I’ve mentioned it before somewhere that i work as a baby photographer. I work in a hospital and i take pictures of newborn babies and sell them to the mothers. Now if i ever need to call in sick i just call the girl who works are the sister hospital about 3 miles away from the hospital i work at to cover for me. Well she got fired this last Monday so I’m covering both hospitals till we get a new person. So now that I’m sick there is no one to cover for me. :(

Code Geass Dub is TERRIBLE!!!

Posted under Anime/Manga

I don’t know if anyone knows but i hate, HATE WITH A PASSION, Johnny Yong Bosh. He sounds the same in every damn thing he does and this dub of Code Geass is just the same as all his other roles. I just saw the first episode of Code Geass online at AdultSwim.com and i have to admit, i hated every minute of it. Kallen sounds like a whinny bitch, C.C. Sounds too monotone, Lelouch sounds just… TERRIBLE! Rival sounds like he’s trying to be too damn cool. Shirley sounds like a dingbat (oh wait she is) but worse in this dub, Milly sounds like she’s in love with Lelouch. Orange-kun sounds like your generic bad guy, Suzaku sounds like a sissy. it’s easy to say that I don’t like dubs, if you honestly love anime why not watch it in its original form.

Making a budget!

Posted under Life

While as I mentioned already that there aren’t as many figures that I’ve been dying for, it’s been much easier to save money. I also notice that with this having extra money each month I end up spending it anyways. So now I’m made me a budget!

Figure orders so far

Posted under Figures

With my changing over from HLJ to Kid Nemo being my major supplier, I’ve been making a lot more pre-orders lately.

I Have so far a total of 7 figures per-ordered. I must also say i’m doing quite well with my rule of only 3 figures a month. So far i have had no figures for April, and i have none pre-ordered for May. Lately there aren’t as many figures that scream out “OMG IF YOU DON’T BUY ME NOW YOU’LL REGRET IT FOR THE REST OF OF LIFE!!” The figures i do however have on pre-order are the few that totally scream out to me.

Moved over to a private server!

Posted under Blog News

So my wonderful brother also helped me move my blog from Wordpress to his servers on his business! He’s the best older brother ever! How do you guys like the new design? my wonderful boyfriend <–note the sarcasm doesn’t like it and says the colors clash… However i like it, it’s soft colors and i think it flows well. It’s very much my personality and my own taste. If anyone notices anything horribly wrong let me know and I’ll get it all fixed up!
