Hello hello,
This week is my last free before I start the exciting new job, (which I hope I can handle.) and I’m spending tonight scouring the internet for keygen’s and other geeky necessities. Trying to track down a copy of filemaker pro, if anyone out there can help me!!
On top of that of course I have finally sunk my teeth into I
Katamari. The PS2 game. It is another of my not-so-recently-released, recent discoveries. Like OKAMI, Katamari is a cult-classic gem and I ordered my copy tonight for a more reasonable price then JB-HI would offer.
Anyway this is Katamari -

I also found this display of cult love for the game.

NEW JOB!
Means I will finally have a little free money lying around! Which means that after i wipe my debts the new toys can start rolling in. That, and I can continue saving for my next visit to Japan in April next year. It’ll be kind of a celebration of my twenty first, and I would rather that then doing a yard glass…
So before all that, I’m excited about my new job! And to celebrate, I’m looking at toys to decorate my new desk!
I’m thinking a couple of these should do the trick!

To be Precise, The middle one, Jon Burgerman, and the right by Tado, Two of my favourite dunny decorators.
These are 8-incher’s and I’m sure will be hard to snatch up when they are released so I’ve done my best to put a pre-order in. Hopefully I can scab them bother for a reasonable price.
To fund that I’m thinking about selling my Golden ticket dunny.
It will look like this when I get it out of its little undistinguishable box:

Its Pretty, For sure, But the fact that its a three inch…
Aside from all that, I spent last night in an arcade with Sig and Roy. It was a lot like this:






All that AND me with my fish buddies in OSAKA. ><ii> l’-'l <ii><




cute

More Toys.

Not usually into Tokidoki. But this be@rbrick is great.

TMT 8th Be@rbrick.
AND along with these little treasures, I found THIS (http://www.whysoserious.com/happytrails/trailer.htm) yesterday.
This third trailer doesn’t quite have the mysterious, epic scale of the last two, it gives you a peek at Harvey Dent and the specifics of the story. Get the movie out already will ya.
Lastly, here is Ilai and me, seperatly:

Its staggering how many quality designer toys are released consistantly. Without browsing too far, I managed to find two great pieces.
The first is in celebration of the looming Dark Knight movie. They don’t stick too close to the film itself but are rather iconic of the Batman series, I like them.

The colours on both are such cool combinations.
The second toy is Amanda Vesell’s Underwater Carnivorous Giraffe resin.
Looks Great.

Both discoveries are curtsy of Vinylpulse.com the perfect site for the occasional toy fix. Check it out.

So me and Fran are back -
Back to old – and new – jobs, back to the ever unpredictable weather and constant roadworks of Auckland. Its comforting really; that nothing has changed.
I jumped straight back onto Underworld to gather up a bit of money to get back on my feet before, hopefully getting back to Uni next semester. That’s the plan.
Fran’s got a new job with the same people that shes loving, up at Wall Fabrics. Employment/Money-wise things kind of just clicked back into place for both me and Fran which is good because I did get back with a few too many Duty Free purchases.
Before anything else I’m going to finish up on how the rest of the trip went. All the details and days that got lost in the absence of decent cyber-cafes in USA.

Just to get you back in the Zone, THIS is Japan.

Shinkansen Travel is unphotographical.

I whipped my camera out just quick enough to snap this mother of all mountains. Fuji SAN

Travel to Osaka was a little edgy for the both of us, we were out of our element.

Here we are in Hiroshima Peace Park.
AND my new plan is to get back to Japan next year at the end of winter but further into spring when we will there for the cherry blossom magic.
We loved it this much!

I guess I’ll occasionally upload more photos from the rest of our trip but i have found my motivation waining. I think its time to move on to new interests.

Here we have the beautiful Okami. My newest game crush.

A Newish series of rad key rings.

And an amazing animated short by James Jean. Its an advert for Prada.
That will be all.
