GONEvember.

Alas, another GOvember has come and gone. I didn't manage to blog something new everyday, but it was close. I still have a ton of other items to show off. Maybe for Christmas...

On my drive to Kitakami today, I was chasing rainbows. 

Every time I saw a rainbow, it had diminished or disappeared once I got out of my car.

Here is what I acquired yesterday and today. A 1954 Gojira in Colour poster and B&W versions.

I picked up a pair of socks today and also won a Chibi!

I really wanted a fire-breathing one, but the claw was uncooperative.

And this Minus One was on sale at Toys Am Us!

Not a bad haul. Fortunately, I picked up a large shelf today for only 5 bucks, although I'm not sure where I'll put it.

M3GAN is my new AI Friend. Though she was crawling away to escape me.

I'd also like her to do the Strange Dance for me.

I met an Alien, Elvis and a Predator.

And I was a predator.

I'll have to wait until March 7th for my next Wicked encounter with her.

All in all a pretty good day. (Alas, the Oni Museum was closed when I got there. Ah well, next time.)

Black Friday Eve.

Since today is Thanksgiving in the USA thus tomorrow is Black Friday, I'll pretend that we aren't a day early over here and post a bunch of memes and pics I've scammed from FaceBook and elsewhere.

And some non-Godzilla ones.

Tangentially related to this is this cool Wednesday Thanksgiving Parade float.

A few vintage balloons.

And other stuff I happened to like.

Some birds:

Some friends and family gathering together:

Yum!

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate. Happy Black Friday! (Here in Japan, it's been BF for about two weeks now and we have another week of Black Friday sales starting today.

It's Stuffy In Here.

I store my winter tires in the corner behind my TV. Then upon that I heap a ton of toys, partly to display them and partly to muffle the sound from my television to my neighbours. Today, I changed my tires and thus had to reshuffle my collection. Here's the result:

All safe and sound, until the next quake, that is. To the left of the Gremlin and Gachapin pillow is a long yellow cylinder stuffed with stuffed Marvel characters.

Next to that, is a chesterfield, though more like a two-seated sofa. Upon that are my various Kaiju and Dinosaurs. Here's a taste:

I've these two for an awful long time. The brother of the one on the left once took a tumble in my toilet after the BIG earthquake of 11/3/11. (That story can be read here). I've scammed a photo from that post.

Here's a handful of various Godzilla. They cost a lot at UFO Catcher but are worth it.

A few newer acquisitions, even more expensive to Catch.

A couple of pillows and friends.

Now we move away from Toho's toys and go to some oddities, such as this relaxing egg and a kid's book Dino.

I wanted to go to the Mangattan Museum in Ishinomaki last Monday or Tuesday but it was closed both days. The author of the above Dino has an event going on there. Someday...

Speaking of Dinosaurs, I have a few of those.

Oops, forgot this one, I'll add him to the Salamander from Frozen 2.

That's about it, apart from a tiny Cthulhu pillow and Migi.

 

Here's the whole bunch of them snuggled up beside each other.

I somehow spent the entire day yesterday doing not so much, including blogging, so here's a double helping of Comic Books.

 When Dark Horse scored the Godzilla franchise, it was a great day for all.

That's about it. I've watched a few movies though all of them have been dubbed so I didn't have to pay too much attention. I did sit & watch Godzilla Raids Again and Godzilla vs. Megalon: the former to listen for George Takei's dubbing prowess and the latter cuz it's so cheesy.

Oops, almost forgot. On the wall next to the couch are a few tiny stragglers hanging around.

I suppose I could wish my American pals "Happy Thanksgiving" though I'll leave it at "Happy Black Friday Eve!"
