Riot Pls

One day I saw this.

A few days later i had an epiphanic dream and saw this

Two seconds in and I immediately awoke from the horror of this revelation.
That uncanny resemblance... I don't even.

btw, still alive

Fixed my laptop with a simple hdd repair program that fixed some bad sectors. the program itself seems bugged and hasn't run properly eversince...lmao. then my laptop went dumb again. somehow the disk check in windows solved it.
Took long enough(to find out I could have fixed it all along *facepalm*), but now my laptop is usable again.

Put a 500GB hybrid drive in my ps3. now has space and runs faster =). Worrying about whether stuff was backed up, whether gameshared licenses would transfer to new drive, and blasting out the boatload of dust with a compresser was far more a hassle than actually changing the drive. Everything transferred without even deactivating the system. just had to log on to each psn and deactivate and reactivate again.
The point is, new hdd doesnt count as a new dl, so there's no need to deactivate old one. Just need to reactivate so the system knows that the network knows it's a legit copy or something like that lolololol.

working through ps3 backlog and finished a couple hg kits. maybe i'll show in another post. totally out of the loop with anime. still watching, but not as fast as they come out. and I don't what the new or even current shows are anymore lololoololo.

oh and that playstation announcement on feb 20. gotta throw my theory about next gens out there before they are announced. loolololololl

Grrrr!!!! Why does life gotta be like dat??

was gonna finish my vf-27 this week
but then my computer went dumb after a graphics driver update, so i had to spend a few days trying to fix it. in the process of that, i discovered my system restore is a dud. it does nothing and doesnt work and loses restore points for no reason. so now that i got my graphics fixed, i need to fix my system restore...

when first got my graphics back to normal (which turned out to take nothing more than deleting the driver itself and letting it install and update again -_-), i was about to rejoice when i accidentally whacked the vf-27 and gave it a desk dive >_>
the microscopic points on the right cannards broke of, but i found them. on the other hand, the antenna at the top of the head snapped in half and one side flew somewhere which i can't find. so now i've got these near impossible repairs i need to do...all of which comes after i turn my room upside-down to find the missing piece, while dealing with a defunct system restore.

yay me! =D

old school ipod shuffle for size reference

big bro has arrived

forgot to say in my last post

while i was gone, i went half way around the world to retrieve this guy


he's the boss of all gunpla in my collection.
this was my first gunpla. i got him when he first came out, and i didn't even know. i was just i wee little man when i built him.
fyi this is the original gundam mkII, this is not 2.0

im surprised he still stands, and i expected more missing parts. as it is now, the missing parts are not so obvious, but still, i wan't to have him fully complete and cleaned up eventually. i can do a putty recast for the missing bits, but the vulcan pod is completely missing and i don't know what to do about it. =(

anyone have an extra one lying around that they want to donate to me? =D

Regen Duel Gundam R.I.P.

Alright! Here is the first of the things I had planned to post about.
It's nothing much, just a repair in progress(you didn't really think it died did you?).

so I was removing the leg from the waist a while ago, and ended up snapping the shaft of the ball joint as you can see below.


then, months later, I finally gathered the tools and materials I needed to do the repairs on it.
I got some precision hand drills at a local Daiso(apparently the largest dollar store franchise in Japan) and drilled 2.5mm holes into each end of the broken shaft. Then I sawed off a piece of Evergreen plastic rod of the same width at a random length(and ended up making big scratches into my beautiful cutting mat also from Daiso) that seemed about right.


Finally there was lots of Mr. Cement added in. Then I waited a day, and tried to assemble the ball and socket together again. It felt wonky, so I took it apart very carefully, which resulted in the shaft semi-snapping with the evergreen rod and all. It didn't fully dry and harden, and the cement had made its way into the core of the rod, causing it to almost break in a soggy kind of way. So then I decided I needed lots of Mr.Cement, and then left it to cure for a few days. I was pretty frustrated, and emo at that point so I didn't take any pictures.
In the end, it turned out well.
here's how it looks
the fuzzy white square at the top is the plastic rod squirting out when it was goopy and I pressed the two sides together. The white line is the glossiness of Mr. Cement. This is how it looks even when it's dry. also, the fuzzy looking stuff on the rear skirt(this is the backside, although not really a skirt) that looks like a terrible nub removal is actually the pretty white plastic being ruined by the cement because I have amazingly shakey hands - only when it matters most =P


no full shot of the gundam yet because there still some stuff that's broken or need touch ups.

Hope this post was somewhat informatice and meaningful in some way.
To be continued...

P.S. those precision hand drills are the greatest things ever invented. maybe I'll show those off some other time.
