What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

Oh i forgot the dirty pair artworks artbook is not in English and the artworks in the shell artbook has no text at all it covers shirow career starting from Appleseed to recent work.the artbook was made to go with the Shirow Masamune World Exhibition in japan it finished in August.

It probably doesn't matter too much if an artbook is not translated; if it is mostly artwork, it just becomes a picture book, then. If there is text that needs translating that you really want to figure out what it says, there are phone apps that will translate Japanese text from photos of the text - I have one installed on my android phone. I've only used it for a few words or short sentences though, like instruction sheets for assembling scale figures, and it works great for that; I've just never tried to use it for, say, a larger paragraph of text.
 
I now have three lovely bras from Bravissimo that fit me really well and comfortably, I bought them at their Brighton shop, won't be posting photos here but I'm overjoyed! I also had quite a few other items that had to be sent back for various reasons and I prob won't bother putting photos of them either. Now, onto the rest of the good stuff :)

I had an awesome time in Guernsey with my mum and got this amazing Labubu-themed hand mirror from a local artist who's work was being sold in an art shop there, there were other varied mirror designs without Labubus on them, and I'm not really into Labubus generally, but that was the one that I liked best and I'm very glad I bought it! I got a DVD of a documentary about the WW2-era German occupation of Guernsey for my boyfriend who's very into history, a few cards (as in greeting cards - a birthday card for my mum and some others like a get well soon one and a thankyou one), a very pretty pink-purple hairclip, some art and craft supplies (including a Moleskine Pink Sakura notebook which I used as a travel journal), a really wonderful pair of knee high pink socks with a floral pattern on them, a book about ladies gardening in I think the Victorian era for my mum for her birthday from a charity shop, and a little Guernsey cow plush as well, will try to add pics of most of that later XP

Made in Abyss S2 arrived shortly after I returned from my trip (thanks to AOL for holding it for me until I was back!!) I have got my printer up and running for document printing on A4 standard white printer paper in full colour now, and I'm very happy with how it looks, I printed the full page artwork of mine below that I originally created on my iPad Pro, and also some text in colour for my poetry and other writings scrapbook (I have printed some other text for that as well, and fully scrapbooked the text in colour below also now with a border, stickers etc, but will save that for my creative thread), the next step will be learning how to print on more different types and sizes of paper and doing some work on colour calibration to improve accuracy of colour reproduction. Picked up the latest volume of Lore Olympus (Volume 9) as well :)

That's what I hate about most UK releases-all those big fat ugly age category advisories all over the spine and the case artwork. Yeech!
 
RX-78-2 Gundam Base Color arrived

Love this alt color ever since seeing people post it on the Gundam thread so really happy to finally have the MG

And yes this adds to my ever growing gunpla that have pink or purple in their colors 😹😹😹

Does mean I need to stop buying Gunpla for now as I have way too many to build lol

I received two more anime today in the mail - one pre-order title from Crunchyroll, and the other from eBay, which I decided to pick up since I recently bought the HSOTD series steelbook from a blu-ray.com forum member:


Berserk The golden Age Arc Memorial Edition Steelbook
High School of the Dead: Drifters of the Dead OVA

These were left outside by the courier at 7pm last night. No knock on the door, ring on the doorbell or even an email to say it was coming/had been “delivered”. I didn’t find the parcel until this morning.

Even with the strong rain, hail and wind last night, they managed to escape damage!

These two items from Shein arrived! The blue and white hoodie is absolutely gorgeous and very cosy and comfortable and a good fit, and I'm really happy with it, the anime girl hoodie is very cool and fits well except bcuz I sized down a few sizes due to lack of stock of my usual size it's too short, so I've now nabbed the only one of the biggest size that they got back in stock again and I'll be returning this smaller sized one :)
