Icarus's blog: "Somantics"

Excuse me while I cough up a lung.

For a while now I've been thinking

I don't really consider myself a writer any more.
I don't know if that's just the year of working for the man talking
or the nadir

God I'm tired.
Tired and scared.

Afraid I'll never get it together
and tired of having to try.

That's why the devil gave us the blues.

Anyway.
Forum buddy challenged me to a build off.
Sort of.

If I finish my Zaku I as planned

I get the limited edition "Tank Gun" (bottom-center) or as I know it
The Magella Gun.

Now, I could buy the kit this comes with... but I'm not interested in a generation 1 MG Char Zaku II.

... I'm just not.

I'm not getting past that any time soon.

The Ver Ka Zaku II was BAD ASS. I don't think I'd ever want to build another Zaku II.

Even if it did get me a Magella gun.

>> and I do have the JR custom Zaku II Ver Ka.

And yeah, I'm still looking forward to building my Gouf Version Ka.
And Gelgoog Version Ka.

Problem is, I don't have paint schemes planned, and ... I probably should for those before I build.

I'm running out of OOB's that I want to build.

I may consider painting my Ver Ka Gouf.

So... what's left on my unowned frontier

Nu Gundam.
Hi-Nu Gundam.
Sazabi (maybe?)
1/60 Gouf
1/60 RX 78
Zeta Gundam Unit 3 (limited edition "test colors- pretty much may as well buy a regular and repaint)

Those are the Universal Century models I can immediately think of.
I dunno what happens after that.
Buy some of my favorites and repaint them? I've already started doing that whenever I see them at 50% off :P
I think I'll always be a UC snob. So... don't tell me to buy a PG 00 Raiser.
Because that is the worst name ever.

My asthma attack in the middle of the night threw EVERYTHING off.
I'm just in car repair and lung failure limbo right now.

Think I'll make a pot of coffee, and have a cup first thing in the morning.
Cold, and stale.
Try to get my head back on.

I can't say with the utmost authority that I got nothing accomplished today.

I've only been up 9 hours.
And with all the wheezing into my respirator (turns out that 30 dollar painting mask with removeable filters does wonders for mild asthma and inhaled allergies) and all the over the counter allergy drugs, I've just not been terribly productive.

... except that six pound pork roast.
Man what I'd give for a squeeze of lemon juice
and a big glass of whisky.
