More toys!

Nowkku asked to see my new toyshelf after I rearranged it, and moved the little buggers from the top of my bookshelf. So here you go! ^^



From left to right: Zack Fair, old school Cloud Strife, Nanaki, Aeris Gainsborough, Cait Sith, Vincent Valentine, Reno of the Turks, Advent Children Cloud on his Fenrir (that thing is SWEET) and, last but never least, the one and only Sephiroth! *dun dun dunn!*

All are from Final Fantasy VII and its spin-offs. Zack is my favourite, has been from day one. Now that I have him, I consider my collection complete. Well, until they make figurines of Cid and Barret. Then I'll get the rest of the girls as well.



Some other toys... from left to right, hide-plushie (in front of him two small figurines, one of a fairy and one of three dragons), Moritz the dreamcatcher, Saara, my first toy ever (a Sarah Kay doll from the turn of the 70s and 80s), a few small figurines, a self-made plushie of my original character, and a small cat which used to belong to my granny. No one really knows where it came from.



A bigger picture of the shelves and their environment. Yes, those are Tolkien-style runes on the wall. And a Zack wall scroll. And a Cloud-plushie. ^^ I'm a callipygian geek.

I has a man!

So he's only 8,5 inches tall and I already have lots of his friends, but still! Zack Fair has finally landed!



Cloud: Mine's bigger, you know.
Zack: No way, Spike, MINE is. And wider. ^^

Interestingly, Zack's Buster sword is bigger. I thought it was supposed to be the same weapon.




This one was taken a second before my cat started chewing on Cloud's head. It's hard to take a photo when one's laughing one' ass off.

Cloud: ...It's right behind me, isn't it?

Eight inches of blunt fury

This blog's due for an update, I think...

My dad turned 60 this Monday, and had visitors come over through the weekend. We got him an accordion. The guests all pretty much brought him booze. Whiskey and rum and brandy and vodka and so on. His workmates got him a 3 liter bottle of vodka. That thing is HUGE.

The weather has been pleasantry wintery. Cold, snowy, icy. Hmm, that isn't exactly pleasant, is it...

I seem to have lost all interest in writing. Again. This happens too often, and it's the same with drawing. The problem is, I have a lot to write. Sun-kissed is late, again, despite the fact that I have so many ideas for it. However, I still intend to finish it this year. Yes, even part 3, where much ass shall be kicked.

And then there's my fantasy stories. As they're planned now, I've got three long stories concerning the history of the world I've created, and then a fourth, far in the future, where the major plot of the first three is finally resolved. Aheh. Great plans and all that... But! I have been writing shorties for... the last one. Smart move, starting from the end. Should just take the bull by the horns and start writing something else than this.

Random meme

Sun-kissed is late again, due to bureaucracy eating my brain and making me stupid. Hopefully I'll be somewhat more or less done with the first tomorrow. Don't know what can be do with the latter, but that I am used to working with.

Here's a random meme, found it by googling... random meme.

Favorite lyrics?

Ooh, this is the hardest one. Let’s go with Rufus. Can’t go wrong with Rufus.

Men reading fashion magazines,
Oh what a world
It seems we live in
Straight men, oh what a world we live in.

Why am I always on a plane or a fast train
Oh what a world my parents gave me
Always traveling but not in love.

Still I think I'm doing fine
Wouldn't it be a lovely headline:
”Life is Beautiful” on the New York Times.

Rufus Wainwright, Oh what a world

Blah.

I hate bureaucracy. I really, really, really, really, really do.
