Girl #1 appears to be Slavic or at least Eurasian. I think she is French-Japanese, but born and raised in Japan. A bit like Leah Dizon, who's half Filipina.

I'll be honest.
I've done nothing but invest in computer hardware for the last couple of years.
I'm still struggling with myself as to whether this was a smart decision or the dumbest investment I've ever made.

Some unusual second-hand finds today.
Building blocks: LaserPegs Nanoblock Stegosaurus
Super 8: Daffy Duck - Havskapplöpningen (1972)
Also some various old comics (Archie, Flintstones, She-Hulk etc.), various paperback manga (Dragon Ball, .hack, Fullmetal Alchemist, Sugar Sugar Rune, Demon Diary, Snow Drop etc.), a couple of DVDs (Neverending Story, Supa Strikas) and Disney Planes 2-disc Blu-ray + Blu-ray 3D.
Arguably the most unusual find of the bunch was the old Super 8 Daffy Duck movie. I think my mom still has a Super 8 projector but it needs a new light bulb and it's not easy or cheap to find one that fits such old tech these days.
Really nice to find a complete Nanoblock set in the wild, too. Already assembled it.
I've never seen LaserPegs before, but they're basically a bunch of LED bricks you can chain link together with a battery-powered base plate and a bunch of various translucent regular LEGO-type bricks to build on the LED bricks with.

I took the kids to a bigger Goodwill in a nearby town, and we found an Atari 2600 joystick, a Wii Nun-chuck, and a Lego Batman game for the Wii for a buck a piece. It is very rare to find a good deal in the wild these days.

I had a girl over for a couple days, so I got some new wrist and ankle restraints. It was totally worth it, but honestly I feel they are overpriced.
I think I paid $27 and they are basically just velcro. They looked nice on her, so I give them that at least, but still, they get away with it because we buy them anyway.

centipede, houses in Scandinavia are basically viking castles, you can fit anything into those fortresses, plus the cold from ice caps surrounding them, conserves everything from deteriorating.

You buy so much stuff. Can you even see your walls? Nah, I don't buy much of anything these days. Like I hadn't bought a single thing in well over a month before now, and now only because it was my birthday so I felt like going out and see if I could get something fun for once since it'd been a while. But regardless, why would I wanna see my walls? They're boring. I can see them just fine, sadly, I'd much rather there was something interesting there to look at instead. I live in a small one room apartment and due to renovations going on it's packed with boxes and stuff so entire parts of my apartment are cleared or are being cleared out for them to work on. A lot of stuff is in storage until it's over.

Happy birthday Armored Core Raven. I see you are a Virgo. The house of bread is the most high and elevated sign in the zodiac. Which reminds me I need to get the Shaka gold saint. Bandai Namco has different versions, but they are all good.
