On to our 2nd week of school (for me anyways)

Hey everyone, I had my class at 10am this morning and now in the office working for all that gas money that I need to drive to work and school!

I had a pretty laid back weekend. I took my girl friend to college on Saturday morning but didn't really spend that much time with her since her parents wanted to go pretty quickly so I got in one kiss and that was about it. I miss her a little already and we didn't even get to finish Samurai Champloo before she had to go. We literally had 2 more episodes left to see and that would have been her first anime series she would have seen. Nifty.

After that I got home early and caught up on Psych and Burn Notice on OnDemand and went to work at my retail job at 4pm. My parents had left for night and day to there friends house out near Tappahanock so the house was empty and quite. I enjoyed some time with both of the cats, but gosh they are terrible to have in your room at night. They fight everyWHERE!

OH, my Liger Mirage kit came in on Saturday, it was fast shipping (EMS) and it cost a ton for the shipping >_> I asked for SAL but I guess they usually throw things with EMS. Well, the model is fantastic and there tons of parts. I feel like I got a Master Master Grade Gundam model with it. It is a 1/72 ratio and it is the biggest box I have. I am saving it till I get better at modeling since I do NOT want to mess it up!

I pretty much have my Astray Red Frame done for prep, I need my paint to continue on it and so since I couldn't go further on it I started prepping the Astray blue Frame lol. For the Blue Frame I most likely will do a Dark metallic blue and instead of the orange I might do a copper look to it. Give it a more mechanical look to it but still want it to look like its serious business.

Yesterday, I lounged around fixed breakfast and also went to the Carry Street Gym with my friend to work out and rock climb on the wall. I was so beat by the time we walked out. I am sore now from it but it was worth it and fun.

I orderd my last books off Amazon.com I recommend signing up for Student Prime account with Amazon. You have to give them your school email address when you sign up with you current accunt and then you are on board. It is free trial for a year and you get the cheap books off Amazon and also FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING. That part is nice because I ordered them on Friday and I can expect them either tomorrow or Wednesday since I got an email that they shipped either yesterday or today. Great deal people.

OMG, Metroid: Other M is coming out tomorrow! I have fully paid mine and I am going over there at 10am tomorrow when it opens to pick it up. I can't wait to start playing it. I took my girl friends Phantom Hour Glass for the DS and have been playing that over the weekend. It is an ok game but I can see where it draws the lines from a handheld and a platform Zelda. Gosh I want Metroid, hope the artwork and design looks great. I loved the bonus in the Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. I still need the play the first two prime games.

Also, DSi and DSiXL is getting a $20 price drop, oh boy. Still not getting it though.

We have a hurricane Earl lashing out down in the Caribbean if anyone has heard about it! In fact, they are already telling Virginians to prepare now for it when it comes up the Atlantic. check it here. I would look out if you are on the coast and the bay areas of Virginia during a Hurricane when it comes up the cost like Gaston and Isabel years ago. I have to worry about my girl friend if it does come all the way up here (checking weather.com now). Just looked, not sure if it will actually make land fall, but it is going to be a few hundred miles out from the eastern coast so it still might cause winds and a slight storm surge.

Have some movie info for ya, will add some of the info to the movie page as well.

Legend of the Guardians (movie with the owls and its all CGI and looks freaking awesome, yeah that one) Here is a TV spotlight

I will add the two others to the movie page.

Want to see Avatar in 3D and in IMAX with 9 minutes of extra footage? Check this link out to find if it is near you soon!

Know of John Cusack? Know of The Raven by Poe? Well, there is a movie adaptation of the Poem (not exactly like the poem) and John will play as the main character. Oh goodie!

As of August 27th, Toy Story 3 has reached the $1 billion mark in making mula. Holy shizz thats a ton. Link.

Kung Fu Panda writer is going to writing the next "Karate Kid" Sequel for us. I am sure you will see Little Smith and Jackie once again. I did enjoy that fill :) Link.

There has been a few Three Musketeers films in the past, but this one looks pretty good, take a look at the photo shots here.

One Piece, the Manga, is having it's first 4 week long break as stated on the last page of the recent chapter. The manga was started back in 1997 and it is still continued today 13 years later. great manga, I always post the latest chapter link on the Otaku page. Link to article here.

Into Love Hina manga? I have really been into it recently lol. Well in September they are releasing a 1 shot short manga! Article here.

I don't really have anything else then that for now!

Seya!

blame school for my absence

Hey everyone, I have not posted in a while. Probably not since last Friday! I did post on my other Gundam blog. Yesterday was my first day of school at VCU and I had classes that were supposed to be in the morning but was in the afternoon and I had one at night. They are booth in the Environmental Studies Major. I still need to hunt down a few books for the class and I also have a few assignments needed to get done.

I have not been in a work until today (actually there right now). I ha to get some things done this past week and sell off old school books and hang out with some friends before they have to go. I did pull up a few good articles online the other day mostly that had to do with movies like Miyazaki is going to work on his first sequel ever for Studio Ghibli. It will be a sequel to Porco Rosso, which should be good. I liked the first one go figure. Look forward to me updating the movie page soon I hope.

I finished the Deathscythe model, I don't know if I said it at this blog or not, but it is all done. Look forward to me getting an album up and a review on the 'work in progress' part getting on my other blog (link in the links page).

Parking has yet to be a challenged at school, but I will use it a lot in the deck as I checked out the gym. That place is pretty awesome, and I might get a lot of exercise done.

I re did parts of my room, gave my desk a bit more space and also have my modelling and art stuff organized in its one space. It makes things work a lot better now. Although, I am starting to wonder if I will be able to model at all. At least during the week it might be hard especially if I am to use the gym and chill at campus for a while. I am also trying to go to the anime club at the school. I hope they are not to crazy, because I think the J. Sarge one had weirdos.

oh by the way DO NOT see VAMPIRES SUCK, the movie was terrible and I only liked a Chris Brown joke and a Tiger Woods joke because it was priceless. Especially when Chris Brown lives around where I do lol.

I am trying to figure out what else to say, oh I added the rest of the Bonsai to the album and also am adding the Maymont trip I took with my girl friend last week. You can find it in the photo page.

I don't know what else to say really, I will try to post a lot more and my 100 post is right around the corner, actually like 2 away!

Miyazaki garden!

So Miyazaki, writer/director for Studio Ghibli is a big time environmentalist. You can tell be many of his films like Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke. Well he is putting together a park that he designed over in Japan that has some themes in it and forest that influenced "My Neighbor Totoro". Here is the link to the article and I wish I could really meet him one day since I am for the environment and I love film/animation lol

The city of Naruto, back over in the land of the rising sun, put together some Naruto themed things to draw in tourist. Such things are like the Hokage rock where the faces of the previous and current Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village was built there. Article here at Anime News Network :)

Also heads up, the Chapters for Bleach, Naruto and One Piece came out the other day at Manga Stream. I added the links to the Otaku page. One Piece chapters seam to be the same the past few weeks as it just shows where his crew members have been at this whole time. Maybe I am use to the action that has been un-folding up till this point. The Naruto chapter was ok, nothing to exciting but I can't wait till it shows Naruto using his new powers of the nine-tailed fox. Bleach was just more filler till Ichigo shows up. Sorry if I spoiled anything lol.

Some movie news:

I have some trailers and photos!

I added the Skyline Trailer to the Movie page and also a movie poster. Skyline is about how NASA sent out a message deep in space to contact extraterrestrial life out there. Well I guess it got to them because they come to Los ANgeles and there ships suck up people. I really like Alien movies or huge monster type movies. Ex. Godzilla, Cloverfield etc. I am excited for Monsters and Super 8 and now this looks like I could love this one.

I added the international Trailer for Little Fockers on the movie page also! I think it is in English but it has Spanish subtitles.

Some new photo from Harry Potter here, and also they are picking up new writers for a Live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Hope this one works out. Article here.

Here is a video below at a retrospective on the Metroid Series. It is pretty much a trailer or Metroid: Other M. I watched it on the Nintendo Channel the other day. It was neat.

Here is another Metroid: Other M trailer that has Live Action in it. I think Live Action Samus looks cute ;)

I am adding this two videos not to the Online Vid page but a Video Game page that I just made because it seams that I have been flooding the page with lots of Metroid: Other M things. It is for the best and I can follow other games that are of my interest on there!

I didn't work yesterday at all. I stayed home and went out to eat for breakfast with my mother an sister. After that my sister finished packing and my parents took her off to Longwood University. She is finally moved in and all set for school. She did call at like 2 am this morning and asked my parents where they put the Solo cups. She might get her drinking on already lulz Heck if I know probably thirsty from the long night. I went to Maymont yesterday afternoon with my girl friend and got a few pictures done. We didn't get to stay long but I really like their gardens down there. Especially the Japanese garden, go figure. My model is in transit to my house that ordered from Rainbowten. Great mail order site with good prices for models (especially Gundam Models). I will add the link to the links page for everyone.

I got a hair cut yesterday also, I needed one for school and now it is above my eyes again. How nice haha. I am definitely going to get off work today early probably and I will WILL finish my model today. It has sun in the sky and isn't that humid. Perfect for painting. I also am really worried about the Chinese Elm. I think I keep bring this up. I just need to see if that soil will drain the water today because I can't have it retain the water for ever or I will kill my tree. I did trim it back to help it start growing again.

This article is 9 stupidest things that American's believe. I thought some of it was funny.

Just added some reactions to The Last exorcism, which is a movie that is coming out. Another Exorcism movie of course. Anyways, it is kinda funny to see there reactions, they got freaked. Added it to the online video page.

Studies show that, yes woman can think themselves to Orgasm. It's true, it is in there mind and if they want to orgasm then they sure well can. Article here. You have got to love all these case studies that I have been finding people haha.

If you have an Android phone and like your apps, and enjoy having a sex life. Give this app a go. It is "the sex position app of the day" app lol.

I will add a link to Hobby Search blog where it is a review on things at the Gunpla Super Expo. Has a lot of great pictures. Will add it to the hobby page. Hobby Search has a great selection of items to get. I pre-ordered a Mirage Blade Liger from there that comes out later this month. I am thinking about the Genobreaker... hmmmm

Well, that is all I have for the day, till next time!

Oh, also added a few Bonsai photos on the photo page. I haven't uploaded them all yet though.

Didn't get to my model..

As you can tell from the title, I yet again didn't get a chance to finish painting my model. My sisters boy friend was over in which usually turns me off on modelling. Actually company in general because I tend to make a mess setting up and working on it. Also, it was raining yesterday and all night and even now while I sit here at my desk at work. It is about time we receive all of this rain lol. Bad thing though is that I re-potted my bonsai (Chinese Elm) into a new pot and was trying to test the soil I made to see if it drained fast enough instead of water logging my tree. Instead it is raining all the time now and the soil is really moist >_> I don't think I had the soil mix right anyways because I still see lots of mulch in it. GRRR

Check this photo album out Metroid: Other M Screen Shots!

Waiting still on the chapters to be released so I an read those. I finished up Golden Boy on the website. Not sure if that was all of the chapters or not though but I have moved on to Love Hina which is funny and has a little romance in it. I think my girl friend might even like it, maybe. I'll have to find the anime lol.

I took my girl friend down to a large creek near my house through the woods but it isn't that large at all. The green plants down there has grown everywhere and over ran the swamp/water plants because it isn't that moist any more. The water level of the creek is so low that new plants came in since the mud has dried up and now there are just huge weeds. The butter flies love them though. It started to rain on our way back but wasn't so bad in the woods. It was humid though and my girl friend was getting dehydrated and we got back as soon as we could. I saw a black snake and tried to catch it and I had its tail in my hand but my girl friend yelled at me so I let it go and it crawled into the pile of sticks. Boooo

Now that the summer is coming to a close, I realize how much things that her and I were going to do and we have yet to do them. We finally got to the creek but it was so low and hard to get through with the thick foliage. We have yet took the canoe trip, yet go the the mountains, yet go to the beach (actually I tried but she didn't want to), tried to go to Maymont which is just in the city lol. Oh dang, well we got next summer I suppose :P

My order came through yesterday for a model and should be ready to ship to me, and the Zoid model that I pre ordered, well they actually though I pre ordered 4 of them and came out to the $200+ remember from yesterday's post? Well they got back to me and changed it to one :) That I can afford lol

I am sitting here drinking coffee, which I am surprised since I am a heavy tea drinker. I am only doing it since it's the works coffee and there fancy coffee maker lol. My mother picked up a tin that has like 120 packs of tea that I will use like crazy during this semester. It has about 5 flavors maybe 6 but all flavors I like. I still need a travel mug and maybe a aluminum bottle so I don't waste plastic so much. I still recycle all of that stuff but I enjoy my well water from home too and plus I can put my own un-sweet ice tea in there.

My sister moves into Longwood tomorrow, I wont be going to help, her boyfriend is taking my place. Apparently there is a dinner that my parents are going to take her out tonight for. For her last dinner with them before she goes. I wont be able to go, got some retail work and I don't know if I will catch her in the morning either, didn't see her this morning either. She locked her door so I couldn't say seeya, oh well. I'll send her an email with a virus or something, just kidding :P

Oh some movie news,

This woman right above is cast in the movie "Battleship" which is based off of the Hasbro game lol. My girl friend likes playing that game against me because she wins most the time lol.

Actual article is here. Picture is from Latinoreview.com

Some Mad Max pictures of the vehicles here. I wouldn't expect a younger crowd to know Mad Max, definitely not my girl Friend. Mel Gibson was Mad Max back in the day. Maybe this movie will show his true actions like slappin around girls, naw just kidding but he is pretty hard core as Mad Max. Watch the first Mad Max's out there.

Well, I'll update this post as the day goes on if I find anything new!

Tata!

New Monsters Trailer

I really do want to see this movie the more I see trailer's for it, please take me (referring to girl friend). She wont, she doesn't like monsters especially if they come from space. Nightmares, I will not hear the end of it lol. Added it to the Movie's page too.

Facebook has a scam going on right now, it is the 'Dislike' button scam, just look out for it. Article here.

Go to this link and check out all the new photos from the new Harry Potter movie!

Nothing really other then that peopl.e It look's like the Japanese Yen is on the up's which is bad for me because I just placed a reserve on a model and if the yen goes up then I have to pay more lol. Also after I placed my order, it sent an email to me saying what order I placed and will notify me when it is ready. The bad thing is that when I got it it said Y 20,000 which is 20,000 yen = $220 bucks! Apparently it thought I selected the model like 5 times so I sent an email saying how they need to change the order because I only want one!!! lol

Goodstuff right? Maybe I should get them all, old them a few years and re-sell? Good idea? I might invest on something like that in the future lol like AKIRA merchandise. It would be a good idea to invest in that now so when it becomes popular again after the release of the live action people will want the rare stuff, or maybe companies will re produce them for the higher demand. I will finish that painting job tonight! I must!

Girl Friend finally say Princess Mononoke last night, Spirited Away is still her favorite. She did love the tree spirits though in the movie. They are cool. By the way, Princess Mononoke is about 2 hours and 18 minutes which is longer then the other Ghibli films that are out there.

Seya!

I tried posting this weekend...

This weekend I wrote up a great article in the blogger posting tab at my house and when I hit submit I lost the wireless and lost the whole article...

Anyways, I mostly talked about how I finished up Whisper Heart, it was a great movie you should give it a watch and now I have about ten minutes let of Metropolis (animated movie). It has been an alright movie so far. I have it on file and needs lots of juice to run since it is a Blueray file. The animation that is based off of Oasmu Tezuka (Godfather of manga) manga series back in 1945. The movies script/screen write is written by Katsuhiro Otomo (creator of Akira) and is produced by Mad House which is a well known production company in the anime industry. The manga is loosely based off of the film Metropolis that was released in 1927 in Berlin Germany. The film was the most expensive, silent film ever created and was by Fritz Lang. It also is one of the films that is ranked high for the most extras in it too. The movie premiered in Berlin at about 153 minutes long. (Trust me that is long to watch when it is a silent film) After that and a few other showings the film was cut and re edited and some pot changed. After a while the rest of the cut film (about 1/4 of original) was thought to be lost until like 2 years ago in a Buenos Aries film museum . It added a out 20-25 minutes of film, and after much restoration the re created movie was shown this past February. I watched this film maybe last year and I have not seen the redone version of the movie. I was surprised at the set and look of the movie for it to be done in the 20's. If you can watch it, it is the oldest film I have seen.

I also taked about the new drug that came out that gives 5 days after intercourse to take it to prevent pregnancy. I don't know where the link went as I have lost it and it was on the Radio this morning as well. You do need a prescription for it though. Another thing I heard on the radio is that some waxing facilities that give waxing jobs for people, about 20% of their business is pre teens. Apparently a bikini wax for girls 12 years of age is the new thing.......wErId.

My model is pretty much done, I will just need to spray the torso chest part and the shoulders, add some extra panel lining and then clear coat it and I will post pictures of it on my blog and link it to the hobby page! I am referring to my Deathscythe. I will write up a full review and the steps I took to do it on my blog!

It's official that Toy Story 3 is the highest grossing animated film ever. $920 million globally and $400 million domestically since it's release in mid June. That is impressive. Link here.

Here is a link for some Resident Evil: Afterlife adds that are down in the subways lol.

Dragon Ball Z Kai premiered this weekend on Toonzai (4kids), I actually watched it lol. The series is supposed to be the same as Dragon Ball Z just fast forward and cutting out a lot of un needed talking and power up-ing lol. link.

Italian motor oil company is going to sell "Hello Kitty" branded motor oil lol. Check it out

Check out this game trailer for Metroid: Other M! I an't wait till August 31st! I begged my girl friend to ask for a display at a Game Stop yesterday at the mall lol. It looked awesome. I'll add this to the online vid page too.

Also, ever want to control your Zelda world, well you can. Check this link out and you can make your own world using pieces for Majoras Mask and Ocarina of Time! RPG game play, I know I will download it and try it! Link to download.

That is about all I have for everyone today. My weekend was good, I went to the mall and bought some shoes an 2 shirts. It seams there are sales going on, I guess because of back to school lol go figure. I repotted on of my bonsai trees since I think it had some bad soil that didn't drain so I really hope it didn't get root rot. It might be better off now just letting it lose some water from the pot and I will re water. I believe it is a Chinese Elm but I am not sure. I know that it is a Elm for sure though. I rode my moped Saturday to make sure it runs still and it does. It's a great little ride. Service Manuel (this is a link mostly for me since I have been looking for it)

Looks cool amiright?

This is exactly the model I have, it was my great grandfathers. 1980 model.

I also watched "Wolfman" and it was an alright movie. Some good acting and Anthony Hopkins is a good actor anyways lol.

Seya!

Want to know when the first Deathly Hallow's movie will end at?

That right, I have got the information for when the first Deathly Hallow's movie will end at for the up coming Harry Potter movie. The first part will end at the part where Voldemort obtains the Elder Wand, s about chapter 24 or so. This is actually a lot farther into the book then I thought the first movie would go but I guess the last movie will be a ton of battling at the school and wrapping up the series. The last film will be sad for sure for many people. Source is comingsoon.net

There will be a live action Bugs bunny in the works. Some f these movies have been pretty good, like Space Jam. Space Jam was really good live action with all these characters. Another film I can think of is Looney Toons: Back in Action which was ok. Anyways, I guess it will have the animation combined with live action characters. link here.

Here is a International Trailer for Resident Evil: Resumption (after life). Yes it is in Portuguese sorry lol

Also Hanover House is putting together Terminator 3000, another Terminator film in the series. Link here.

Tales from Earthsea (Studio Ghibli) is hitting the screens at a select theaters today on United States soil. Cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Honolulu. Was a pretty good movie, but not one of my favorites from the Studio. My girl friend and I watched Castle in the Sky last night since she had not seen it before and she still likes Spirited Away better. I am still working on Whisper Heart and liking the characters. It is different from Castle in the Sky and Spirited Away because it is about a normal ordinary girls life at school, family and friends. Only Yesterday was a good film that was about a normal lady. I still recommend them to anyone. Link here.

Go through this photo slide show and you will see some of the faces of the absolute dumb chicks that have gotten arrested. With their precious mug shot you also get to read the names and why/how they got caught. they need schooling badly. Trust me you will probably laugh at least at one. 18 in all!

It is Friday now, and still no sign of a new chapter of Bleach, Naruto, One Piece or the like.

Update: I realized that it is the Odon Festival in Japan so they wont be releasing them this week lol

We had a rough storm this pat evening, my drive way is torn all up and I have to do a lot of filling in with gravel and raking it out. It rained about 3 inches at my house my dad said and in a short amount of time. It was coming down really hard when I was heading back with my girl friend from dinner, I couldn't see out the window >_>

She also thought she heard something in her house when I was there and she was freaking out about it. She didn't get any sleep after I left, she told me this morning. I only heard one weird noise outside the house but it sounded like it was in someone else's back yard so I didn't think of it much. Night's like last night my house makes a lot of noise as sticks, nuts, leaves and rain are still dropping on the roof and the side of the house from the wind and after effects of the storm. Generally even then my house makes noises when my the central air comes on or off, same with the refrigerator downstairs. Also, if you are looking for a noise to hear, your mind will fabricate a noise because that is what you are looking for. So if you are out side and a little nervous walking alone in the dark, don't think of robbers or weird nosies or like someone is following or watching you. Please don't or you will give yourself a heart attack when a squirrel jumps out of the bush that you though a huge bear was in....

That my advise :) Oh an that goes along with being sick, you think you are seriously sick when your not, it will make you sick. It's true, I have done it lol

going to lunch with the aunt today, don't know where though since I never go out to lunch around here at all. Always stay in the building eating freezer meals. Better I go out, get some good food, although I really liked the look of the pizza that was in the refrigerator this morning. I wish I could eat that now. Maybe Red Robin!

Seya! Also, keep on giving me ideas of places to go in Japan!
