The top half of a model of Wing Gundam cradled in a hand wearing a black glove. It is mostly white, blue, and yellow, and is looking modestly into the camera.


I bought MG Wing Gundam ver.Ka back in April of 2018, which is several lifetimes ago now. Looking at that date, I momentarily wondered how I'd managed to get to a nerd convention. The Summer of the Doors, however, was a little closer to actually happening in summer; that ridiculousness started in May.

I don't think the Summer of the Doors, and by that I do mean actual physical doors not The Doors, had anything to do with not tackling Wing back then. It was more that Wing is a MG and at that point I'd never actually finished an MG. It took until this year to finish MG Infinite Justice and I'd started him back in what, 2010?

I've actually finished Wing, but I like this half-built photo best. He's got a lot of personality and while building went from rather morose to downright adorable and has settled into somewhat resigned. (I think he's cute though.)

Well, finished aside from waterslide decals, which I need both practice with and to make some decisions because like many MGs, Wing comes with a ridiculous amount of decals and the instructional photos and diagrams honestly look overdone. I also have a tiny Heero Yuy still on the runner and the urge to paint him as a youngster Gai Murakumo is intense.

The rest of my week involves getting the kitchen under control so I can keep cleaning up Monster High dolls for the nerd convention in a couple of weeks.

So much to sort through, so little time and energy.

I am signed up for WritingMonth and so can you! If you want to be buddies, I'm 'kalloway' there as well. ^_^ My goal is 100 stories but that is 100 very short stories. Last year I managed 80 despite my life being absolutely on fire so maybe I can manage the full 100 and I think a We Didn't Start The Fire joke goes here or something.

Did the pre-signup for a secret santa in the one little gunpla discord I'm in. Offered to subsidize a local friend for the next month if necessary. (probably necessary) Gonna try to toss some cash at the food pantry. (obstructed more by their hours being counter to mine than anything - obviously a me-problem) Still debating how much I want to do with [community profile] holiday_wishes, though I suspect the annual 'I can give more!' will envelop me at some point even if I want to humbug.

Comic-con is on the 22nd so I suppose I need to actually start sorting through things. I'm burning some vacation time the week before so at least I'll be mildly rested and hopefully so tired of looking at my stuff that I just toss it in the bags of whoever walks by our table. Or something.

Finished watching the quarter's JFF films and will, as always, aspire to watch the next batch before the last possible minute.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!
