2020.05.05 Dispatches From the Wasteland – Entry 37

My Asuka Neon Genesis: Evangelion Funko Pop arrived today. So now I’m a guy who buys anime toys? This seems like it could be very dangerous. Fortunately there is no Misato funko pop and there’s no way I’m putting Shinji on my desk, I mean comeonwearecivilizedhereimeancomeonhahahahaahahaha… Maybe a body pillow?

Greetings from my hovel on the shores of the Bow.

I built a little Spirited Away puzzle but it was missing a piece and I’ve been apoplectic about it for a day now. The worst part is I’m not sure if it was truly missing a piece when I unwrapped the package or whether this is the work of the tiny anarchists who live in my house. We may never know for sure. Thankfully my friend Michael used photoshop to insert the missing piece for me so I got to look at so my brain would stop melting! Thanks, Maggle!

Jigsaw puzzles are great, but for a long time I couldn’t do them. Years ago, before my medications were all better balanced and whatnot doing a jigsaw puzzle would send my OCD into overdrive and I’d sit there, steam billowing out my ears, all muscles positively vibrating with tension, for HOURS until the last piece was finished and then I’d collapse. It was really sad because I liked doing puzzles in the before times, the times before my myriad mental illnesses all exploded at once. It was so nice to test the waters with this little Ghibli puzzle and discover I’m in a mental state that allows me to actually find the relaxation and fun in doing puzzles again… at least until that piece was gone. Thanks again to Maggle for solving that one.

Puzzles, Model Kits… maybe next I’ll get into paining miniatures! You can never have too many stupid hobbies that take up all your space/money/bride’s patience!
