yahoo, ax, anicyo and colorful

must say staring at yahoo japan pages for cels on dial up everyday for the past year can makes one feel like a zombie. and i mean zombie in not a good way. wait, is there a good way to be zombified. see my mind already going the way of cheap gas and rising home prices. guess if i held a mirror to myself as i stare at the crt screen of my computer i would see my eyeballs glaze over like a thanksgiving ham and yj cel pages reflected backwards on my glasses. oooh psychodelic.

thank god for ax08 to snap me out of it. time away from the cel hunt is a good thing in my book. besides i wasn't getting much from yj and losing auctions is never as much fun as winning them. so me and my brother spent 5 nights at the westin bonaventure in downtown la for ax08 and had a blast. well, a mini-blast since we didn't get as much stuff as last year and walking alot at our ages takes a bigger toll on us than when we were younger. nailed autographs from kato, hidaka, takada, jyukai and seki but was only able to get 2 sketch from ando and they were from characters from his latest project,"sword of the stranger". must now do research on the names of the hero and villian of the show so i can id them for the gallery. i'll do an ax only blog soon so wait for it.

now for anicyo. (deep breath) sometime ago, i foget when precisely, i submitted my gallery to anicyo link page thinking nothing much of it except to help the gallery on a google search. well that didn't work after several weeks so i just went back to yj cel searches and neglected the gallery since september of last year. in may i went to see my gallery and see what was the most visited item in the gallery and was surprised to see the anime room pics were not on top anymore. the mikimoto sketch of minmay was the leader now with vance hu's (big) fancels from macross taking 3 and 5 with sadamoto's sketch from nadia taking number 7 away from the my anime room pics. looking at the anicyo site i saw that they were coming from their link page so i must thank anicyo for overthrowing the pics of my anime room. they must be alot of macross fan on anicyo but i wonder if they fully understood the site.

now to the fans of my colorful sketch and autograph section of my gallery an update. i have won 2 more original color sketches, 4 pencil sketches and 6 colorful reproductions. i never bought a reproduction of a colorful sketch before so i was nervous when they were delivered. but they turned out fine and i'm happy with them. so look for an update in 3 weeks when i break out the old 35mm camera and add them to the gallery. take care everyone.
