Been a while...

Well there's a lot to say but let's just start with this.

All Christmas gifts.  This is what's coming.  No I haven't given up making models but now that I've finished Skyrim maybe you'll be seeing me blogging a bit more.  I'm already starting the process of getting back into it.  If you're still around and reading this... thanks for your support.  Things certainly got a bit crazy in September.  The same day the Gauntlet finished I got a new job and couple that with exhaustion from that project and some awesome games (Uncharted 1,2 and 3, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Modern Warfare 3, Skyrim and I tossed Heavenly Sword in there just to check it out, quite good actually)... took me away from modelling until Gaigun's GMII came in the mail and that kind of stoked the plastic fire under me to get back into things. 

Time's up I guess.

Oh I also can't forget the new paints I got as well (also a Christmas gift)!  A new hobby shop opened up down the street from me (providence?!) and they sell all my old paints I used in Japan plus some other stuff that I couldn't get there.

So some new stuff to look forward to in 2012.  There's also a lot going on my fb page so if you haven't checked it out yet get on it and you can start to fill in the blanks.  While I've been away from blogging I haven't been away from Gundam and fb was just so fast and easy so that's what I gravitated toward.  Check the link on the sidebar.

Anyway... more to come!  Hope you'll continue with me on this journey. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you all!

Just Talking - Early October 2011

Fall has come.

The days of summer lightning have long passed. I feel like I've been away for a while.

Not necessarily away from Gundam but away from this blog. That was intentional. I decided to force myself to focus on other things in my life. It was something that needed to be done. And I'll have to do it again this month.

I don't want to leave this hobby behind. And I won't but I'm in a transitional phase in my life right now and I have to focus on whats happening now. If September is any indication then October will also be a very busy time for me. It's funny. I picked up this hobby during the most stable time in my life. And I haven't really been able to shake it.

If I was still in Japan I'd still be buying kits like crazy, just because of accessibility and honestly because of habit. I am addicted. Let the title of this blog remain forever as a reminder of that.

But like any addict when you've been forced away from your 'trigger' you find a way to make do and I guess I've done that.

But the longing...
