No matter how many attempts, I cannot make an omelette that looks nice.

I’m watching the BBC Ozzy documentary.

Ozzy was and will always remain my favorite musician of all time.

When he died, family and friends told me they were surprised how well I was taking it, such that being a fan was a part of how they see me.

But watching this is fucking *hard*.

I'm tired of people who just want a payday pretending to be leaders.

Was that a stage in the Dreamcast game?

Oh, wow!

That *does* score some pretty major points, yeah…

Love that I got her and we got our first ever woman prime minister in the space of like 24 hours.

Folks remember Optimus Prime almost entirely because he was the childhood hero who *died* when they were young, but they remember him based on vibes alone.

Same with Soundwave, Bumblebee, and (again, sorry, but I’m right) Starscream.

Soundwave and Starscream had cool voices, BB was cute. That’s it

It’s like MTMTE happens.

A bunch of half-remembered stuff of little-to-no consequence

All the stuff about Transformers that actually matters.

I don’t think anything could dethrone MPG God Ginrai on my list, but just that she is finally, after all this time, *real*.

Yes, ¥10,000 is what is considered a “stupidly low price” these days.

😭

Hobby Drifter in Tokyo @hobbydrifter.bsky.social · 1d

I also picked this up because it on sale for a stupidly low price and I have to prove to myself that it really exists

I did, in fact get my money’s worth with eight cards I was missing.

And I’m sure that having like 1,000 extras now won’t bother me in the least 😭

Halloween is coming. I will put them in treat bags.

Hobby Drifter in Tokyo @hobbydrifter.bsky.social · 1d

Well, that’s alright then

My local hobby store was selling these bricks of Disney Lorcana commons for ¥100, so if there’s even ONE card I’m missing from my set in here, I come out ahead.

If…

That’s still kind of a lot for an empty box

Hobby Drifter in Tokyo @hobbydrifter.bsky.social · 2d

I did that with Twitter then just never went back.

One of the best choices I’ve made in years. But anybody who has seen what I do with hair and fashion know that’s not much to crow about

Hobby Drifter in Tokyo @hobbydrifter.bsky.social · 2d

I had been keeping an eye out for this card, but seeing it in person left me unimpressed.

Which is good, because even at 20% off, that price is one hell of an oof
