Mental state in the toilet. It has been for a bit, I've been blaming seasonal change. But I wonder if I've bitten off more than I can chew. We are, ultimately, all the same person. And none of us have ever been good with stress. I just wish I knew literally -anyone- within 3 states of mine.

The catastrophe continues. For some reason part of the chest snapped when I went to gently rotate the torso slightly. Nothing a little Blu-Tack couldn't fit, but good grief. Sanded down the stand peg to fit, too. It had to be in 'punch you with a plane' pose, man. #Gunpla

The Action Base 6 has the most confusing god damn instructions I've ever seen. I have NO IDEA what it wants from me. These parts do not fit together in the way the manual claims they do. They have markings. I'm trying to assemble the right way! They just DON'T. #Gunpla

Just have the legs and the two rifles to put decals on, then I'll need a decent day to topcoat. It's only gonna be 54 on Saturday, but that's my best bet. I believe you're supposed to let both the decal setter and softener cure for a day before topcoating. In any case, that's what I'm doing.

Revenge of the Sith is go. I dunno if I can do almost 2 1/2 hours of a movie in one sitting, but I'll at least try to hit the halfway mark.

I'm not sure how I keep pulling back muscles. This time it's way up in the northeast portion. The problem is I can't really feel the pain back there. I feel it in the front and when I breathe. But it's definitely -in- the back, as I can poke the exact spot that's hurting and it stops in front.

I've decided to do decals on the Build Strike. I was able to pull most of the clear parts off. The only ones I couldn't are on the chest, so I masked those. A little challenge should never be a reason not to do something. It should be seen as an opportunity to get better at it. #Gunpla

I've decided to take a crack at putting decals on the Build Strike. The weather's going to be getting a big warmer soon, and it's gonna be sunny, so it's a good time to do it. After this, I'll likely switch over to no-decal kits (Gunleon, Kamen Rider Build) until winter ends.

I'm so tired, man. Physically and mentally, I'm exhausted today. I've got a splitting headache, the birds won't stop screeching nonstop outside my window, the Pizza Hut app has locked us out of our account because of their stupid-ass new phone login requirement...

Time to decide if I'm doing decals for it, I suppose. It would all be generics, and I'd need to mask the clear bits. Seems a bit much work. May just stick it on a stand in the 'punching you with a plane' pose. #Gunpla

The Wednesday Gushers are -awful- y'all.
Imagine... old, musty Nerds. That's the flavor of grape these are. The inside is better, I think it's some nebulous berry flavor, but the shell of the Gushers is raunchy. Which is great 'cause it was a box of 20 pouches so I gotta tank through a LOT here.

Undertale is too damn pretentious for its own good. Couldn't make it even half an hour in before rolling my eyes and uninstalling. I hope Deltarune isn't as bad. What's up with indie games being so pretentious, anyway? "Ooh, look at us subverting expectations!" Go away. No one's impressed.

Okay, I'm about to finish up the final episode of MST3K season 1 (thank god!) and there are two observations. One, it's the best episode of the season by a wide margin and two, THIS is how I learn about Leonard Nimoy making an awful, AWFUL song about Bilbo Baggins???

The most ill-conceived tie-in product I've ever personally seen. I bought a box immediately. They knew what they were doing.
Also it sounds like something Enid would get bonus points for achieving. Good lord.

Masking this is gonna be such a pain... maybe I should've waited to add the clear parts 'til after decals?
Or maybe I just don't do decals on this one. I dunno. Haven't decided yet. #Gunpla

Pizza rolls are very... boring. I suppose that's on me for choosing regular cheese as the flavor, but we have always disliked cubed pepperoni. Thick-cut meats are disgusting. If they had slices of pepperoni in them, sure. But cubed pepperoni? Eh, no thanks. I can finish the bag, but that's it.

Body, arms, and rifle. Masking this thing's gonna be annoying, but I've really enjoyed the build so far. In contrast with the elbow joints on Chuchu's Demi Trainer, these are rock solid. EG tech seems way nicer than HG tech for some reason. See also: No eye stickers. It's all parts. #Gunpla

Yeah, that's as processed as those flags are gonna get with my shaky hands. V-fin flags are annoying on a good day. I dunno if it's because it's an Entry Grade or what, but these seemed extra thick. Feel like I'm gonna snap the antenna when I have to de-flag and sand the thing. #Gunpla

Cute :3
Cute and fairly big! He definitely fills up the whole of your hand. No catastrophes during building but I did fumble my card sleeves when I went to process the box top and had to pick all those up. Also lookit the easter eggs on the inside of his face!
