I could complain about work, but what even is the point?

Limited Edition PG 1/60 Blue Frame went up for sale the other night and I ordered one. As I said to my parents, as far as mid-life crises go, model kits are pretty tame. I also have some things on the way from various weekend sales which, whoops, was not terribly expensive but sure is a lot of parcels. I still need to order paint.

My last two Suruga-ya orders rolled in after spending a bit of time in customs. One was the last Estailev kit that I needed, and certainly the biggest. I had not realized it was huge! I will possibly pick away at the related SD-styled ExeCreR kits in the future, but for now I'm pretty good. (No, I do not know why I got absolutely obsessed with these. I really hope they're pleasant builds!)

I tried out a new mobile game, Silver and Blood, but I just didn't click with it. Interesting premise, and I should theoretically like weird vampire game? But nope, after getting through the first chapters and thinking it was okay, I found myself just sort of staring at the icon the next day thinking 'actually I don't really care'.

Time to wait for Seven Knights Rebirth, I guess. And then I'm 100% out of upcoming mobile games?

Tomorrow, I clean out the fridge (not for any awful reason; it's just that time) and do a lot of general pickup if it's not too hot.

There often comes a point when I'm building a model kit that I realize that ah, I am being watched right back. There is a tiny plastic soul* in there of some sort, and sometimes not quite the one I'm expecting.

( The last month or so of model kits/gunpla! )

*which is not to say I think that my kits are actually-alive in any way, this is more in the fun way that my aunt and I used to leave offerings of jellybeans for my grandmother's porcelain doll collection so they wouldn't eat us in our sleep.**
**at least I think we weren't serious about that.***
***I should probably email my aunt.

sunshine_revival's first challenge is goals/plans for the month, just in time for me to actually post my monthly plans roundup. (A couple of days late, because hot.)

So here goes:

( June )

July's plans are to survive being too fucking hot.

( July )

There is another part to the challenge but I'll worry about that later, if at all.

Luckily, shutdown this year has us staying on our shifts. (Though I admit to being slightly sad to not be able to grab takeout every day after work...)

Unfortunately it is still stupidly hot despite being dark and the humidity is actually brutal.

Got an amusing postcard from misbegotten, thank you! And zines from used_songs, yaaaay! (I flipped through them quickly, will look properly over the weekend, probably.)

And received some lovely icons over in femgiftboxes from cosmic_whore_writes and linky. <3 I wrote three things, which I will try to get archived to my own spaces this weekend for easier reading. ^_^;

sunshine_revival has started. The first prompt includes goals/plans, and since I do those monthly anyway, I'll get that posted sooner than later. (but not til after work, at least)

A few minutes ago, the first drop of 'Gundam Summer Fest' went live on the Premium Bandai site. I had a kinda chonky list of things I wanted and low expectations because "things sell out instantly" and yeaaah, lol. I actually managed nine of sixteen things on my list and then added in a couple other normal pre-orders with the same shipping month, so I'm pretty happy! There'll be at least one other drop next month? and then whatever after the pop-up tour is over, and of course I'm actually going to try to get to the last pop-up tour date so there might be some of these kits there?

I owe a post of kit photos and whatnot. Hopefully over the weekend.
