The story goes: I was scanning and coloring on my computer. Behind me, I hear the bots playing with his purple dino laptop and really being quiet. Stupid me, I forgot the golden rule of parenting: when they are too quiet, there's mischief at play! So he got ahold of my kleenex and pulled it all out of the box! I turned slowly to get a kleenex and found this. So... parenting FAIL!
Up next, I got my first SIDESHOW TOY 1/6 scale figure: A Stormtrooper!
I thank Trevor from the podcasts wholeheartedly for this gem of a lifetime. My first high end toy figure! I Really want to open it and display it, but I may let it sit in the box for a while. I used to collect toys pretty hardcore back in the day. I got everything and mostly based on speculative things or how awesome I thought the scultping was good on a figure or not. Then I had to curb that addiction. I just got STAR TREK related things. But now I am going back a bit and enjoying toys again. So a million thanks to Trevor for the toy, which I understand is limited to 1500 pieces! I hope this doesn't make me grow broke buying other $100-500 figures! The wife would kill me.
Up next, I got my valentine's day gift:
I desperately needed some new decent clothes. I got two Doctor Who shirts and a couple nicer dressy shirts. That way I can dress up a bit and not look so slovenly as I have of late. I got the wife a suprise Ruby ring! She loves it when I buy her jewelry, as she is a whore for the stuff.
We got our tax return so we've done a bit of shopping the last couple days. On Bluray, I got: THE WRESTLER, DOCTOR WHO: THE END OF TIME 1-2, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Regular DVD: ZOMBIELAND. On Cd, the new ROB ZOMBIE. I also finished up my STAR TREK MEGO action figure buying by getting CHEKOV. Now I got all the original cast, plus a Romulan. I think I'll get the Klingon and call it good. No need for the other dumb aliens. I also got a new bookcase which should arrive next week. I am expanding my nerd collection from two huge bookcases, to three! Got tons of books, toys and other things that need a place to go. So I am overdue!
Another thing I bought was some modeling kit stuff. I used to put together models when I Was wee. I cannot tell you how many times I put together the NCC-1701. So I pulled out some older kits that I bought a while back and barely started on. Also scored the new ENTERPRISE E model kit. I got paints and a bunch of new stuff. So I started work on some of the models last night. I got some painting to do tomorrow outside. Right now, I am doing a Klingon ship and the NX-01. After those, I'll tackle the rest of the Enterprise E. Nerd, I know. but I make that shit look good!
In Netflix, I got DISTRICT 9, which I gotta watch by monday. I got the MINDSCAPE OF ALAN MOORE, which was a good first watch. I wouldn't buy it though, but its worth a rental. Way better than THE ROOM, which I got the previous week!
On the artwork front, I got my new businesscards in the mail. They look super awesome! overnightprints.com are the fastest, cheapest place ever! Highly recommended! I also got some new prints for 2010 conventions done. I intend to get some drawing done tonight on Anna #2 pages. Its coming along. I'm about 1/2 way through it. Getting to some interesting scenes...
Lastly, tomorrow is the Superbowl. I took the day off to watch it, like I do every year. I regularly root for the Colts, but really, I wouldn't mind seeing the Saints win it. New Orleans could use the boost. Plus, I like hard luck/beating the odds type of stories. Hey, as long as Brett Farve ain't in the Super Bowl, I don't give a shit!
Well, thats all thats new. Back to work with my ass.
