Getting Back To Things



I'd love to say that I've had no excuse to fall this far behind, that I was just being too lazy to go to everyone's blogs and comment and too lazy to write up a review. The truth is though, I've been sick in bed. My wife, my son and I all got sick and we've been feeling miserable for over a week now. I think I'm starting to recover, though I still don't feel great. This town has been hit hard with a couple different viruses and we all happened to catch one. I've managed to at least sort of keep up with anime in between sleeping times, and sort of keep up with what's going on in the world around me. I apologize to everyone for not having been to your blogs lately, but I promise I'll be paying them all visits soon.

Riiana still has an unfinished FLCL review that will be released soon, and I just got a new figure in the mail this morning unexpectedly. Well, I didn't expect it to get here until Monday at least. Here's a sneak preview, I'll be getting pictures and doing a review asap.



I thought since I've been away so much lately, I'd let you know what my current pre-order list is looking like. You might notice that my figure collection is extending into more PVC and not so much Figma. I still love my Figmas but there's just so many tempting PVC figures coming out this year that I really don't want to pass on. For this month I'm still waiting on:

Yami aka Golden Darkness 1/8 PVC by GoodSmile Company


Haruhi Suzumiya Extravaganza Ver. 1/8 PVC by Max Factory


For April I've pre-ordered:

Le Blanc de la Valliere Louise Francoise Gothic Punk Ver. 1/8 PVC by Alter


Hoshimura Makina Figma by Max Factory


Hiiragi Kagami Figma OVA Ver. by Max Factory


So far I have 2 orders for May, though I'd like to squeeze in another PVC if possible:

Maru & Moro 1/8 PVC by Art Storm/Lilics


Yuki Nagato Extravaganza Ver. 1/8 PVC by Max Factory


Aside from those I have only 2 other pre-orders:

Mid-July - Petit Nendoroid Nagato the Ero-Gamer ver. by GoodSmile Company


August (in time for my birthday?) - Black Rock Shooter 1/8 PVC by GoodSmile Company


Yup, quite a bit of PVC up in there and there's likely to be more announced that I won't want to pass up. I guess I'm losing control a bit, but so long as I can afford these without having to cancel anything I think I'll be happy. There's definitely going to be some Figmas that I must get but many of them aren't available for pre-order yet. Also, I have another figure on the way within the next week here, along with some other stuff. I've been trying to go back and obtain some older figures lately. Well then, lets hope I keep feeling better and get over this soon. I'll do my best to keep up with blogging.

Sorry to hear that your whole family is not feeling too well. Don't force yourself to keep things up; just take your time on them.

At least you have new figures coming in and more on the pre-order list right now. Cancelling them will be a pain in the heart, so hope you won't have to do that.

Last but not least, get well soon!

Ick I hate getting sick too... Hope y'all get better soon. I think I'm coming down with something too, but somehow my immunity system is holding it back. I just need to sleep earlier maybe.

I've really cut down my orders. Now I'm thinking of getting more figmas to expand my 4koma comic cast ^^;

Not to worry about not updating because you got sick and having to apologize for it, shit happens. Plus, I myself am rather unmotivated nowadays to go to everyone's blogs lol. I kind of skip many many posts nowadays in my feed.

Then again I hardly blog that much either now.

Putting ur health and ur family health is ur first priority. Blogging and keeping up with other ppl's blog should be ur last as it's not as important as u may think.

We all understand where things happen and that's life.

And sorry to hear about the sickness, hope you and your family feels better soon.
