Today I started my 365 photo challenge, which I’m doing partially for myself, and partially to support my friend who is also doing the 365 this year :D
First up is Yui, wearing (Sakura’s) kimono… which is unfortunately a little too short for her (-_-; ) I may see if I can “let it down” a bit, but I’m not sure the construction actually allows for that. Yui was unfazed and continued playing with her DS. (It’s the first time since she’s arrived that I’ve gotten her to put her keitai down… XD;)
I woke up this morning with an awful headache. Sort of an ominous way to start the new year, but we’ll ignore that for now. Might’ve been caused by mild dehydration/pressure changes in the atmosphere – it’s quite rainy today.
Stalking a certain nendoroid girl on ebay, we’ll see if I win… I’m not used to bidding but I don’t feel like shelling out or hitting up y!J auctions right now, either.
My birthday’s in about a month, and the only thing I can think to ask for at the moment is a 1.5TB external hdd, for backup purposes. I should take a picture of my growing collection of external hdds…
It’s not as though there aren’t other things that I want, but I feel weird asking other people to support my doll/figure habit. Usually I just ask for things like video/computer games (I did get Sims3 for Christmas!) or books or small electronic-related things (SD cards, batteries, cables) that I haven’t gotten around to purchasing. Somehow those feel more acceptable. I don’t feel…. ashamed? of the fact that I have dolls/figures, but rather, I realize they’re definitely not everyone’s thing and can sometimes make people feel uncomfortable. Well, I don’t collect any figures that are stuck in, shall we say, questionable poses, or various states of undress, but even without those. (Not to mention, my family already went through one phase where they bought me lots of Barbie stuff, I’m not sure they’d want to return to it, even if the purpose was different. XD;)
In short, I’m definitely back on a doll/figure kick, and you’ll likely be hearing more about them in the coming weeks.
Until my interests rotate again, of course.
On an unrelated note, I’ve finally gone back to playing KH: 358/2 Days (when I preordered & received it initially my wrist was acting up so I couldn’t play it). I quite like it, now that I’m into it. The panel system reminds me of the card system from Chain of Memories, but at least I can attack to my heart’s content in this version. (Something I really enjoy about the KH series in general is the ability to hack’n'slash my way through battles if I so choose.)
But I’ll write more about the game when I finish it.
