More Blu!

Last payday purchase of the year. All under $8! I have set a budget for my BD buying and I can't go past that.

Dracula - Winona Rider at her cutest and Gary Oldman was awesome as Dracula.
The Dark Crystal - One of my favorite movies when I was a kid! A must have!
Friday - Nate and his brothers are always quoting this movie.
Labyrinth - Another favorite of my teen years. Oops! I seem to be dating myself.
Silent Hill - Best game to movie adaptation in my opinion. I have ALL the games. I haven't played any of them longer than five minutes because I am too scared. T_____T 

You Don't Mess With The Zohan - The only reason I got this movie is for Nick Swardson.


Estimated delivery date around January 18, 2011.

I Like Blu

I've been buying a lot of blu-rays lately since Black Friday. Not for full price mind you. Only when it's on sale. Just like the VHS tape, the DVD format is now a dinosaur and it is time to upgrade our movie collection. Here's a few I ordered after Christmas:

Not all of my anime will probably be ported over to blu-ray if they are available in that format. Some are just meh, i.e. storyline, and don't need to be upgraded. There are a few exceptions however, like Full Metal Panic. I like this series because it's light-hearted and not meant to be taken as a serious mind bender like some other series I can mention.

There's not a lot of anime I like on blu-ray. Most of the time it's ridiculously expensive but these dipped below $18 each for full series sets so I got them all. I used my Christmas gift cards too so total shipped after discount is only $2.47! Estimated delivery time because of free shipping is around January 10, 2011.Can't wait!

Bwana Spoons Blind Box Madness 2010 - Opening the Box

Our family Christmas Party ended at almost at 1 AM. Clean-up took an hour. When we finished it was already 2. Since I am full of sugar from the ice cream cake, cookies etc, I figured I can open one present and I wanted to open my blind box from Bwana.

Opening my box.

Oooo! Getting excited...

I pull an original painting by Bwana! O_____O!!

I find the last bundle in the box...

I pull a Custom Steven #50! So stoked!

The back of the custom!

My blind box loot! I also got some taffy, a couple of cards and a candy cane-like figure of a snake. I hope Bwana does this again next year. I really enjoyed it! Merry Christmas to me!

Blind Box Madness Christmas 2010

I got my blind box from Bwana yesterday. It went straight under our tree. There's presents there from family and from Nate that I am dying to open but I am holding out until Christmas. I love the season and the anticipation reminds me of when I was a kid during Christmas time. I am not about to ruin that wonderful feeling just because I want instant gratification. Some things are worth the wait.

I also got my Turtle Giz along with my blind box. It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be and I am quite pleased with the coloring. I can't wait to see where this sculpt goes!

The Night Before Thanksgiving

I am trying to maximize my holiday weekend by doing what chores I can complete before bedtime. Finishing up on our laundry and cleaning our room. I've been resisting buying stuff tonight as better deals maybe had on Friday.

The sucky part is Nate's working Friday and the weekend. I wish he was off as he could have helped me tackle the garage. So whatever buying I am going to be doing will all probably be online. This might be the year all Christmas presents are bought online.

I am not completely cooking this year. All I have to do is make my stuffing and head over to Migs and April's house for Thanksgiving. Still not sure if I am the host for Christmas. I'll probably find out tomorrow.

My sister and brother-in-law are on their way from Northern California. They will be leaving for their honeymoon in December and will be going to Australia and the Philippines! I am already making a list for my sister to bring me home stuff!

On a sad note, Britney, my Uncle and Aunt's German Shepherd mix was put to sleep on Monday. She was having really bad seizures for the last two days of her life. I don't think there was anything that could be done for her and my Mom insisted that she be put to rest to spare her from suffering. It was too much for my Mom as it was like P-Chan dying all over again but worse as Britney's condition was really bad. My Mom tried to comfort my Aunt as much as she could. She stayed with her and Britney when she was put to sleep. Britney, at this point was very weak and went peacefully. I don't think I could have been able to do that as I would be overwhelmed with emotion.

I was crying at work but my friends/co-workers know how much I care for my pets and family pets that they understood and they tried to cheer me up as best as they could. Last year we lost Pudgy and P-Chan and it's just unfortunate that Britney followed a year later.

I wanted to get a dog this year but maybe waiting till next year is a good idea. My yearning for a canine companion grows stronger day by day. Even though I have three cats already when I only planned for one in the beginning, I think a dog would round it out. ^____^
