The things are nice ... the memories are golden.

Acquired.  The shirt I am wearing in pic, my daughter's concert shirt in women's small that is more like a nightgown for now.  A couple signatures on items we took...and many memories of a great night! (Wishing I had acquired some of Al's hair because man I need some after seeing pics like this of me.)

 

My wife had gone to at least 4 of his concerts and he sat on her lap when he sung, and he signed her scarf afterwards. He really is a kind man and generous with his time.

In which I shame myself and my family by purchasing manga for the first time.

 

But that Drifters anime really rocked my socks right off. Like cracked-out D&D. Delightful.

 

Reading right to left is kinda hard tho.

I placed my first Reaper order of the year this evening.  Yes, I have been behaving myself with hobby purchases.

 

09705: Cool Greens $10.99 x1  - I have a jade paint I like the shade of, but it is very translucent and quite glossy.  Hopefully Reaper's is better behaved.
25101: Warlord Second Edition $19.95 x1 - I haven't read a skirmish game in awhile, and some of you seem to like this one.  I like metal minis so I may build a faction.
08702: Master Series Squeeze Bottles (3) $2.99 x1 - Mixing paint on the pallet for large figures gets old.  I may as well give myself the option to mix a large amount for a large surface.
09107: Brush-on Sealer $3.69 x1 - Running low.
87192: Kaladrax - Pre-Production Castings $39.99 x1 - Not saying I'll do one of the challenges but I'll have it available.
14220: Vysa, Darkspawn Sergeant $4.99 x1 - I was just short of $80.  I doubt I go darkspawn as I don't care for some of the sculpts, but I already had a few.

Your order has received 2x Dungeon Dwellers: Cairn Wraith - Yay, free minis.

I acquired a new set of tires for my car. Now I won't slide off the road if it sprinkles.

Hirano's at it again? I might have to look for that.

You get used to reading backwards, and then you go back to left-right orientation, and it messes you up all over again.  ^^;

I have acquired a niece.  Admittedly, this took no effort on my part but it is an acquisition nonetheless.

I never get used to it lol. It's what's always kept me off getting too into manga.

 

But yes, he's at it. It's about as beautifully batbroccoli crazy as Hellsing, maybe more so. The premise is even wonkier, I think. But I'm loving it.

 

There are, I think, five volumes already collected and out in English now. Two and three arrived here today. Went ahead and snagged them because clean cheap copies were to be had.

Aren't they just the best?

 

I've had people try to convince me nephews are just as good, but everything I've seen so far tells me it just isn't so.

They haven't released the bones mini I want but don't have yet.  I want my plastic t'raukzul!

I am late expressing gratitude for this, but thanks to SisterMaryNapalm I now have a very nice eighteenth century lady / vampire figure to paint.

 

 

That's @SisterMaryNapalm

Suppose I could put this here...  Acquired new microphone kit (Rode NT1 + AI-1) and boom arm (Rode PSA1) for said microphone.

 

 

Bit overkill for Hangouts but I wanted a nice new microphone for other things anyways

 

Boom arm allows me to have it nearby computer for gaming and voice chat, while I can also move it over so it's right by my miniatures workspace.  Now to just get a decent camera to go with all of that...  Oh neat, I could use the Zoom Q8 if I got one (or just go with my original idea of picking up a Panasonic G7 but I digress...)
