So much to do - so little time!

Wow, it's probably due to the global recession that work has been so hectic lately that before I know it a month has gone and past and I have not posted anything new (though I've thought up lots of things I wanted to ramble about). I'm definitely never going to be cut out for this Twitter craze I've been hearing about - most definitely not. During this time I've thought of all things to post - one was a big self-rant about how tired I was and how I never found any time to do anything. Eventually wrote it, but then decided against posting it. Looking back it seemed rather silly, and I've done lots of stuff since then. What you might ask? All sorts of stuff. But the ones I'd like to mention the most would probably be some of the new model kits I've pieced together, which consist of Kotobukiya's new Mechanic series of vehicles that are basically sets containing one tank chassis (tracked or wheeled) and parts to make two different vehicles. Brilliant stuff. Looking forward to their helicopters and their new versions of the robot transport trucks that are also in the pipeline. As an aside, I found the following tucked away in my rough notes, which I appear to have written up to post but forgotten about. So I've touched it up and have include it for your amusement: Ever find yourself having a good dream - only to wake up and realize it was only just a dream? I did. I dreamed that I was walking around the plaza of a mall (rather, a quadrangle complex). Interesting place - I seemed to have an idea where I was going as if the place were familiar. Must've built it up from the various malls and shopping areas I've been to over the years. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a woman and a child walking through a side passage - don't remember if I ever used it before but had a feeling that it was a shortcut. Took it - and was rather surprised to find a public bath house. Well, more like a large hall with jacuzzis and private bathing pools with blinds. The entrance was a showering area. Rather odd that it was on a raised walkway - the whole floor of the bathhouse, where it wasn't a private room or a jacuzzi, was one big warmed pool. There's nothing like relaxing in a tub and letting warm water soak into and soften your stiff limbs. So I got all excited, I decided to rush off back to the hotel room I was staying at to get a towel. My first inclination was to just go in and forgo the towel, but they didn't provide any so drying off later was going to be trouble. Then I woke up to go to the bathroom. Cursed myself and realized I'd just broken what would've been a very pleasant dream. Usually you forget your dreams very quickly after you wake up, but then there are some that you don't. Dreams are interesting things indeed.
