Current Ramblings

*Photo blog updated.* While I'm taking toy pics I should really get some shots of self-combined Energon toys, since Graham and I each have a set. I've gotten good and caught up on toys lately, even managing to score Asajj Ventress to add to my Jedi (and now Sith) Women collection. I could take pics of all that, but...eh. Everybody else will see them when they buy them and I'm hardly the first to put pics of them up. If I have something unique to contribute I'll do so.
Today I forgot I had traded shifts with Melanie at work, so I showed up at 9AM when I didn't have to be in 'till 2PM. So I picked up some fresh paint at Hobby Lobby and started on that Upstart toy I've been meaning to do. This is what I have so far. It's been a long time since I tried painting non-model plastic. I had to wash it to get the production oils off the surface, and I think I might have to score the already-painted parts like his nosecone with super-fine sandpaper just to get it to stick right. And the joints are being bitchtacular. WHY don't toys come apart as cleanly as they did in the G1-through-Beast Wars days? It made them so much easier to repaint. *sob* But I think the ends will justify the pain in the ass.
So I won't be online much for the rest of the week because of this big get-together. Check my photo blog, though, because I'm sure I'll have lots of fun stuff to upload. If nothing else, I'll take some good shots around town while showing everybody around.
Psycho baby people scare me. A LOT. What's so fucked up in your life that you have to not only lie to everybody about being pregnant, but then kill somebody so you can cut out their fetus so people don't ask why you haven't had that baby yet.
