Winter Break post

Part 1 of how many others I feel like doing.

My "local" hobby store, Hobby Works of Rockville, is finally stocking model kits again. It made me so happy to see a shelf full of them when I walked in. I couldn't help myself; I had to buy something to support it. Grabbed two action bases for my MGs and a HG Nirvash Type Zero. I'm not planning on painting the Nirvash unless it was molded in some ugly shades or just looks wrong.

Oh right, I left my modeling supplies in my apartment so I can't even build the kit while I'm down here. Oh well.

Tis the season

Winter season is upon us again. You know what that means, Christmas specials time.

Then again, that also means I'm reminded of the Gundam 0080 "Christmas special". I know I'm gonna have to rewatch it again but that doesn't make me any more happy. I shed some real tears the first time I finished it. I don't cry over the ending anymore but it is still emotionally powerful. It's not an ending that is easily forgotten.

Here's to you Bernie.
