I'm having a hell of a time feeling "patriotic" these days... But, hell, any excuse for a day off work - right? Happy 4th of July!

New Ranma 1/2? Wow. I haven't thought about that show in years... Now I'm feeling all nostalgic. And I never did read the manga. I guess I know what I'm going to be reading/watching next!

I've started working on the MG Origin RX-78-02 this week. I've really enjoyed the HG Origin kits I've built, but this will be the first MG Origin kit. Haven't made a lot of progress so far... Mostly just painted-up the pilot figures. Hoping to get more done over the weekend.

Well, the show sucked. Biden did not do well. His voice was weak and he seemed confused. Trump spouted outright lies. I thought there was supposed to be fact-checking? Again, I'm not sure what purpose any of that served? But it didn't fill me with confidence for November.
I'm really not sure that debates serve much of a purpose these days. Trump is such an exceedingly polarizing candidate that I can't imagine tonight's debate is going to change anyone's opinion. But I have to admit that I'm quite eager to see the show.

What's your favorite film adaptation of a Shakespeare play, Bluesky? It's not a feature-length film - but my favorite is the "Atomic Shakespeare" episode of Moonlighting. Absolutely fantastic.

Huh. Apparently this kit has an optional LED unit? Haven't built one with an LED unit before... Looks like I'm going to have to track one of those down.

So... What do folks use to take decent pictures of gunpla/miniatures/whatever? Is everyone just using their phone? Is there an app that works better? (I've got an Android, if it matters.) Do folks use fancy, expensive cameras? Do I just need to get better?

Painted my tiny little Amuro Ray and I think it turned out pretty well. Unfortunately I'm garbage at taking pictures of small things. I mean, I'm not great at pictures in general. But I don't know how/why the autofocus does what it does. This looks awfully grainy to me.

Building a Hy-Gogg this weekend! The original Gogg just does not do it for me. It looks downright silly. But I like this Hy-Gogg... It looks weird and menacing and alien. Unfortunately it's a pretty old kit, so I'm not expecting much out of it.

I Don't Know James Rolfeyoutu.be PHOTO-SENSITIVITY WARNING: occasional subtle flickering between 19:00 and 24:36 If ever there were a video I've made that required a companion essay or some kind of artist statement to go along with it I suppose it would be this one. It's a strange project that I've been working on for the better part of six months now, a process of trying to disentangle myself from myself. It's about a lot of different things, it's about James Rolfe but also not about him because we have so many versions of him and we can only react to those imperfect projections. He's been doing this for basically 20 years at this point, and out of that arise a million different ways to tell the story: AVGN is deeply influential, but what does that influence mean? I found myself fascinated with his creative fixations, the motifs and stories that he keeps coming back to, and felt like the only way to engage with that honestly was to expose all my own fixations, insecurities, and fears.

Well, shit. My local Michael's has restocked it's plastic model aisle... And they're carrying gunpla now! They actually had a Nu Gundam Ver.Ka in there! (We'll see if it's still there after my next paycheck arrives...)
