Springtime Cleaning

Posted by Blowfish On April - 13 - 2009

Ahhh…The Easter Holidays…Finally some time to get some things straight…Ive finally decided to do something against my Corner of Shame and hope to Catch up with all the Blogs later.Lets go on the not so exciting Journey!

The spring is the time when people usually clean up all the mess that accumulated over the wintermonths.Im doing the same  thing with the only difference that the mess accumulated in  a whole year.I just stuffed all my figure and delivery boxes in the corner of my bedroom without any space management.It resulted in a pretty big mess even I couldnt ignore.Thats why I threw all the stuff into my livingroom and played a bit of Figure box Tetris.

After 30 Minutes of serious playing Figure Box Tetris (Luckily no Boxes disappear when you close a line) ive reduced the whole mess to a few boxes and my bed room looks alot cleaner.

That makes 12 Boxes that can be thrown away including a big load of paper and packing peanuts.An interesting thing i noticed is that you can form my initials out of the packing peanuts:

Tell me what those Initials stand for and you win a free meal with me :P

Im really glad that I have this long weekend due to the Easter Holidays. Getting back into the Job after a 3 Month Break was harder than initially thought.We were working in a 30 minute routine at my old workingplace and it took me quite some time to get used to serve 3 patients in the hour.Its a bit stressy but i absolutely love my new job. Ive thought about sending my old boss a thank you card for firing me.This job gives me alot opportunities in working with athletes and my boss gave me some tickets for some handball games of the team we are taking care of.The atmosphere was astounding! Cant wait to see more games!Due to all the changes happening around me lately I didnt really have too much time to check the blogosphere or post some stuff myself.Itll become better in the next few weeks when im used to my new schedule.I hope to catch some blossoming cherry trees tomorrow in the Düsseldorfer Nordpark and hope to post them afterwards.

This would actually be the end of my post due to the lack of things to post…HAH! Im just using Trick 17 from the Lazy Blogger Guide and post about my preorders for this  Summer!

MegaHouse

GSC (Can you say GSC Fanboy? ^^)

Max Factory

Orchid Seed

Alter (My first Alter figures Weeeee!)

Yamato

Kotobukiya

ArtStorm

Ive recently grown very fond of MegaHouse Figures.They are far from beeing excellent like GSC or Alters figure but theyve been very solid so far and have never let me down.I really like their Queens Blade Series and Im kinda letdown that I missed the preorder of Melon from Akikan. I wouldnt call the show good but ive had my fun times with it ^^

Looks like I have to make some space for more Detolf Cabins !

PVC Figures, Recent, Uncategorized

Possibly Random Links

Giving back some love!

    Gah I need spring cleaning too! SE, huh? Sour Edamame? Stock Equipment? XD

    I’ve taken a liking to Megahouse ever since I found out they made quite a bit of my favourite Lunamaria Hawke figures, and then I found out about Queen’s Blade. And the floodgate opens! Echidna, Erina, Reina, Nowa and maybe more soon lol. Though I’ve given Echidna to a friend ever since.

    SE should stand for Seriously Ecchi! XD

    Just kidding. ^_~

    Yeah, figure boxes and shipping packaging can stack up quite fast, I try and clean them as soon as possible. Don’t buy that much figures so it’s rather manageable. Also have that Horo from GSC on pre-order, can’t wait to get it!

    @lightningSabre
    I think itll take a lil bit more than spring cleaning to fix your room ^^
    Close…But you missed:D

    How come you gave Echidna away?It started the same for me with the QB Figures^^

    @Smithy
    Seriously Ecchi?Thats true! but not my name XD
    Yeah,ive seen it on Tsukiboard!Cant wait to see her aswell

    @JimmPantsu
    Thats called cheating! ^_^
    Hab da was originelles erwartet und der schauts einfach nach…Pah! Du kennst meinen Namen…wir werden alle sterben!
    Dein Raum sah meiner Meinung nach aber eigentlich immer ganz ordentlich aus^^

    @Snark
    Ignorance is Bliss huh? :D
    I can ignore Mess up to a certain state but then my Switch gets turned on

    @optic
    Yeah,I already read about it on your blog!Hope you get well soon! “Enjoy” your time off

    @Hikky
    I should do some dusting aswell…Didnt do that in ages.
    My Preorder List was actually pretty empty until I got a new Job ^^;;

    @Roy
    Sounds like you are in need of a Billy or Detolf!
    Yeah,finding a job that you like can be quite hard sometimes.Im glad it finally worked out!

    @Jayman

    @Otaku Dan

    SE? Square Enix! Wo soll ich den Kuss abholen kommen? Ich freue mich schon. Und damit wir uns falsch verstehen: Investiere dein Gold lieber in 3D Oneesamas anstatt in 3D Puppen. Es lohnt sich. Vielleicht nicht heute aber bald einmal! Daddy Blowfish! Es wird wunderbar!

  13. Persocom Said,

    I’ve been doing a bit of Spring cleaning myself, all the figure boxes except the newest arrivals are sitting in storage at my mom’s place. I’m gonna guess the S in SE is Simon, but I’m probably waaay off. Too much TTGL for me XD

  14. phossil Said,

    Err.. Are you throwing out your boxes?? Please consider in recicle them..^^

    I have my own mess just for myself, but dont know when I will be doing some cleanup.

  15. lylibellule Said,

    Good idea this spring-cleaning. I also play tetris with limp but in the corner of my dressingroom;)

  16. Otaku Dan Said,

    @blowfish: I have no motivation, just O.C.D., you can tell in the way I set up my figures

  17. Blowfish Said,

    @JimmPantsu
    Achso also täuscht du der ganzen Welt nur vor ein sauberer Mensch zu sein.Räumst die ganzen Müllsacke dann immer von einer in die andere Ecke hmm?
    Staub ist ne miese Sache.Muss mir unbedingt nochn paar Detolfs besorgen für meine momentan freistehenden Figuren.

    @Melonpan
    Auja Square Enix wär schön…Dann kann ich Spiele mit Bishounen produzieren die immer nach den gleichen Schema ablaufen ^^
    Wenn ich das Geld jetzt in 3D anlege und mit denen 30 € die Stunde verdiene kann ich mir am Ende beides leisten! Das ist mal ein Business Plan!
    Den Kuss kannst du dir am Düsseldorfer Bahnhof abholen.Ich bin der mit der Rose im Knopfloch.

    @Persocom
    I wouldnt store my stuff at my mothers place.She has 3 Cats and it would end up in NOM NOM NOM
    Simon? Sure Im as GAR as him but nope you went down the wrong road ^^

    @Phossil
    Of course I am recycling them.I threw them all into the Blue Bin wich is for Paper Recycling.As long as you feel fine in your own mess theres no reason to clean up

    @lylibellule
    Looks like everyone is playing Tetris ^^

    @Otaku Dan
    For Real? Oh…that must have slipped under my Radar.Gonna check your figure setup once again.

    Jein^^” Sagen wir mal so, ich nutze die Gelegenheit, wenn ich fotos machen will, gleich dazu mich durchzuringen etwas aufzuräumen. In eine andere Ecke schmeiß ich es aber nicht, sondern müll kommt dahin wo er hin gehört.

    GSC Fanboy !

    Good to see you had fun playing :p

  22. Wolfheinrich Said,

    Spring cleaning! That’s what I have been doing for a while. I am kind of done with it for now and I am fully concentrated to work on my backlogged VNs, currently working on Brighter than dawning blue!

  23. OneandonlyJem Said,

    I’m glad none of the lines got destroyed either during your little figure tetris moment. Heh, you really like Good Smile. Sometimes, they are hit-or-miss with me, but I know they are capable of greatness. I am absolutely in love with the Megahouse products. They are the only manufacturers that I know of that will carve mouths and have one of the nicest repaints in the Queen’s line-up. Ooooh, when your Clare arrives, you will see just how gorgeous their craftsmanship is. Speaking of which, have you watched Claymore, yet?

    Hmmmm, “S” and “E”, huh? We can’t even get a little hint? I really don’t know how to even make an educated guess, but I like the sound of “Special Edition”, too^^

  24. Blowfish Said,

    @JimmPantsu
    Na dann bin ich ja beruhigt

    @zenical
    You cant go full speed in both directions.Its natural that you have to cut down somewhere.Luckily i dont give a damn about seiyuus :D

    @James
    Id say im a Gathering Fanboy too but I cant afford them :(
    My bedroom feels soooo much better now :D

    @Wolfheinrich
    There sadly arent too many VN I can play due to the language restriction.Its a shame that mostly the Henati ones with crappy story get translated instead of the good ones

    @Jem
    The most important thing to me are the characters and out of all the manufacturers GSC caters the most to my taste.I know that Alter makes awesome figures but I cant appreaciate great quality when I dont like the figures.There are some Alter Figures id love to own but they were all sold out by the time i got into figures.Im thrilled to see how my first Alter figures will turn out.MegaHouse is one of those cases where they cater exactly to my taste and where i can oversee the minor flaws because I like the characters. Yup ive seen Claymore and im reading the manga atm. <3
    Yeah i think ill change my name into special edition^^

  25. Wolfheinrich Said,

    I know the reason why the crappy VNs get translated, because the good one has way too many dialogues! You can always read my VN coverage if you are interested to know the story :P
