So, due to an interesting alignment of circumstances my father somehow ended up getting given a brand new camera, which he passed on to me since apparently I’m the only one that didn’t have one. Additionally, my Alter 1/1 Scale Reinforce Zwei arrived in the mail this morning so I had something to test it out.
What can we tell from this? Given that it’s pretty much the only half-decent photo of a set of about 30, we can assume that a) I am terrible at photography, b) the camera was free for a reason (though it’s not terrible and if I can figure out how to get it to stop compressing the damned images it’ll look nicer) and c) I desperately, desperately need new curtains. And also a new cabinet to store all these things in, they’re taking over my bedroom and my cabinet’s been full for months. I actually still have a couple in boxes because I don’t have space.
You know, instead of teasing fans with a project that’ll never happen, ADV should just take the 50 million or so they’ve raised for their hypothetical live action Evangelion and just put it to licensing the new Rebuild of Evangelion movies and promoting the everloving shit out of them. Get those into mainstream theaters, because not only has Anno soundly beat them to the punch at getting a cinematic Eva remake out there, but his is so well done that there’s really no way ADV could top it.

I’ll be upgrading to the latest Wordpress and K2 tonight, so there may be some disruption to the site. Hopefully this will all go smoothly.
EDIT: Looks like the wordpress update went fine, now to fix up k2. Hopefully the customised stylesheet we created will still be compatible with RC6.
EDIT2: Looks okay. Need to hack K2 slightly because they have this annoying thing about not adding tags to posts, doing that now.
EDIT3: Everything should be done. This took far longer than it should have. 
Back in 2006 I was rather scathing of xxxHolic when it came out. I decided to give it another go recently and finished watching it last week. Once I got past the jarring art that pops up every now and then I found I quite enjoyed it. Interesting how perceptions can change over time.
