Firmly in the pocket of Big Spoon.
It's been a minute since One Piece made me weep, but the last few weeks explaining the backstory of the silent, implacable force of nature that is Bartholomew Kuma are definitely doing it.

I didn't take a ton of pics because I was too busy getting my Disney on, but the theming was absolutely impeccable, the park was spotless, the crowds dense but remarkably quiet, and the rides were fantastic.

Didn't get to do everything, but a day well spent regardless!

A bit behind with posting because the day at Disney Sea went long, but I'm afraid I have been forever ruined for theme parks.

Yesterday's walk: temples in and around Kamakura. Frankly beautiful structures with so many lovely details to find and gawk at.

Life sized Gundam! LIFE SIZED GUNDAM!

Actually, we just happened to leave the Diver City mall as the show was going.

I have many other pics, but, Michelin star ramen, y'all. Two for about $25! Ginza Kagari in Kamakura! 美味しいです!

Day 1 Begins at Shiomi Station, headed towards Tokyo Station, then on to Kamakura. It's a balmy 82, kinda humid, but tolerable.

Next stop Tokyo and all the Gunpla you can eat! 日本に行きますよ!!

Groomed, Manicured, and ready to go on vacation!

I think this works for Saturday.

I'd ask if you have any idea how satisfying this is, but I know the like five people that follow me on here, so I know you know EXACTLY how satisfying this is.

Thunderbolts* was a lot of fun and made me grateful to be in therapy.

But I must say, this here is my favorite joke, made more so in that it has to have been filmed BEFORE it was topical.

Next week is Rudy's tenth Gotcha Day, and he turned 16 on April 10. Wish him a happy day if you like.

Here he is fresh from the groomer on Saturday, looking amazing. He's so soft that petting him right now is, like, indescribable.

Kinda wild that I have been working on the RG RX-78-2 2.0 for nearly three weeks, and I am only just finishing the frame now.

Still, fully painted, Tamiya rattle can base, enamel details, silver dry brush. I've tried to be as methodical as I can manage with this one.

Hello Nameless One, They Who Slip Silently Into the Darkness.

Okay, so I'm still workshopping the name. It literally took me years to name Barry.
May 2, 2025 at 3:18 AM
Good bye, Barry. You've been a good car and a good pal, and we've seen a lot of miles together, but it's time.

I hope the nice men at the dealer are actually taking you to a farm upstate and not just saying that.

Trying to get a good look at those details but I think I got a defective copy.

Do I know anyone in the Bay Area planning to see Thunderbolts*?

Pics of Rudy, current WIP project, and current reading material for tax.

Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Happy Trans Day of Visibility.

As I was finishing up my latest #gunpla build, I realized I hadn't posted a completed look at my prior build, the #hemoxian Lone Shadow. I gave it a quick and dirty candy/ gloss paint job.

Out of box it's a great kit, but even a little paint (even if it's a bit slapdash) really takes it up a notch.

Try however you like, but you couldn't make a trade war fun or popular in 1999, and you still can't in 2025.
