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!

Really hating these dorks who go "Oh, [game] is only [x] hours long? I'm not buying that." MFer it's only [x] hours long if you literally do nothing but the main quest and uninstall the game. I heard Spider-Man 2 is short but there's SO MUCH STUFF in this game.

This set off some kinda weird decal PTSD in me.
From Plasmo's latest video on YT on a model car kit. The hell kinda page is this, it looks like some kinda abstract math puzzle I'm too dumb to solve.

Keeping to a sleep schedule is something we've never been able to do. Last few days, the sleep deprivation has hit. Body's too sore on both sides to sleep. Can't lay on my right side at all anymore thanks to my arm injury, which is frustrating. Also - SO MANY BIRDS. Shut up! Let me sleep!

I think I've settled on 'Acceptance' as what part of ourself I am. If Alexis was Anger and Gwen was Fear, I feel like this describes me the best. Gwen and Alexis both pushed help away, but I welcomed it. I'm nervous about the upcoming move(s) but being upset won't solve anything.

Been playing Skyrim on Legendary for the first time. But it's damn near impossible to -do- anything. ...So I'm attempting to break into the Fortify Restoration loop without much questing. The farm + Pickpocket = money is no issue. And I have all the rings and necklaces I could need for enchanting.

I feel like I've... 'blended' now. Day to day life is normal. The awkward early phase where I was behaving slightly 'off' from how Gwen did seems to be over. It's hard trying to act outwardly the same, especially when online I can be myself. Still making modeling mistakes, though. I'll get there.

Also, you will never get me to call it the "Mandor" Gundam, Bandai. It's clearly Mandala. I don't know where, if any, it would be read as Mandor, but nowhere that I'm aware of.

Gwen stalled hard on this puzzle. One of the 171 our late grandmother had around still. This is 24 of 171. She'd only gotten one other puzzle done this year. I decided to finally take matters into my own hands and advance this for her, too. I'll pick out and start the 25th soon.

Well already, the flashback sequences in Spider-Man 2 aren't making a good first impression. Just what everyone who came to the game wanted - long, slow, unskippable parts where you creep around middle school as Young, Nerdy Peter Parker!

Got no sleep and feel awful. Time to ignore all the new games I have and start a Skyrim run on Legendary and just pick alchemy ingredients for 2 hours!

The quick-set cement wasn't enough to get the shield into its hand, snapping back off when I tried. Luckily it can still plug into the back, so I decided it got to hold both weapons. Still gotta do nose/wrist cleanup, and I'm painting the Core Fighter, but otherwise this little guy's done. #Gunpla
