all our lonely kicks are getting harder to find

(three days of unposted updates again, whoops)

Have had a lot of mail coming in. ^^;; A couple of things were KS/pre-orders that just happened to roll in at the same time as 'must buy all the model kits', but now my living room looks like shipping and receiving. ^^;;

(I am watching a lot of small stores get royally fucked by the tariffs, especially nerd stores and other hobby-related ventures. Just, this sucks not only as a customer but just a person who is genuinely glad that being a nerd selling stuff to other nerds exists as a career choice and would like that to continue.)

Maybe over the weekend I can catch up on some hobby posts? At the rate the weather is going (wtf is the weather doing?), cemetery zine is definitely going to be a #0 with previous years ramblings and photos. On the one hand, alas, but on the other this is fine and maybe a good starting point.

Gundam G Generation Eternal finally released! I smashed through what I could and will attempt to figure out how to pace myself shortly. There are some pretty firm resource walls and no real reason to blast through things other than being ready for the upcoming Astray event.

This is like a week in the making because I fell hard into 'but nobody cares, Kalloway' brainweasels. *sigh*

I have mostly gotten the bathroom back together, though I expect I will be finding drywall dust forever awhile despite my best efforts. I started cleaning in the dining room and spelunked all the way to the one nesting table I have, which is the middle of a trio of which my parents have the largest and smallest. No, I have no idea how this happened. Once we figure out something to replace it, I'll return it.

In an attempt to close some tabs on my phone, I made a short list of a bunch of the tabs that have something I want to buy and am working on just... buying what I reasonably can. Which is not all of it, of course. Quite a bit is stuff like $2 games on itch and whatnot. I also really want all of Kim Hu's Jeweled Saint Prints, which frequently go on sale, but that will require purchasing frames and figuring out where to hang them and I want to at least know where they're going before I order them. I pre-ordered a Code Geass Lancelot kit, which is apparently getting a reprint soon. For some reason, I thought I had one. I have a Vincent, though, and that seems to be it. I still need to make an order from a (new/used) bookstore that has a strong Fediverse presence. They have a few Sharon Shinn books I need, and some Arthuriana.

I have a bunch of packages package-racing from around the world. We'll see how that goes. *sigh*
