i’ve made pretty good progress assembling my fantasy army. i've got everything i’ve purchased so far put together, and soon i’ll start painting it. i’ve discovered the part that takes me longest is picking which option parts to give everyone. xD the models that are specific and only come with one way to do it can be put together effortlessly, but the ones with options are killing me since i take for freakin ever to decide which helmet matches which breastplate best. it’s kinda pathetic, really. tonight I should be ready to do the spray paint base coat on everything I have, then it’s detail work. i’m looking forward to doing it, but i'm also a bit terrified because there’s a LOT of painting to get done. xD most of it will be unique though, so i don’t have to worry about maintaining integrity throughout repeating patterns or motifs.

in less nerdy talk, i think i’m ready to take a break from the dolly hobby. i still want to own Vesuvia, so i’ll still be saving for her (slowly) but there’s other stuff going on and it’s taking too much time and effort to try to keep up with it all. a hobby is supposed to be relaxing, so this careful distance thing i'm trying is an experiment. if i feel less stressed then i’ll step back further, if not i’ll see what else i can manage to step away from. i'm already being careful to pace myself with the new hobby. i don’t wanna make myself bored of it before ie even play a game. xD so last night i didn’t do anything related to it, instead Blue Dragon got played for an hour or two, and i read a book and went to sleep. it left me excited to work on it today, so i think it’ll be a good thing to force breaks every so often. keep myself calm and somewhat distanced.

it’s been a week since my first viewing of Scott Pilgrim, and i find myself wanting to watch it again already. xD it was just SO GOOD! Kyu’s totally in the same boat. as we were trying to decide what to watch Tuesday while we worked on our armies, he was like “SP needs to be on DVD already cause i wanna see it again!” so cute. xD i guess it’s a good thing it’s not performing as well as it should? in theory that means a DVD release sooner since the theatrical release could be cut short.. possibly at least. if the numbers are too far from what they’d hoped they could figure there’s no immediate demand and hold off on it, which would totally suck! :O

so i'm not absolutely sure, but i think i've convinced James to come over for a Warhammer painting party. xD he still has plenty that needs to get painted, and Kyu and i are in the “no playing until it’s done” camp, so it could be a fun day. if James decides against it, it’s not a big deal, but he admitted that he means to paint his stuff and just keeps falling asleep when he gets home. xD that’s my (not really) narcoleptic brother! *thumbs up* i’m actually quite used to hearing “yeah, sorry, i meant to but i fell asleep” and believing it.
