Fade to Black


It is nice to be able to wake up to a bright contrasty flood-your-retinas-out sunshine with blue skies. I could do with plenty of that all year round. It just can't rain all the time.


Then you weather through the day pretty much on cruise control (weekends aren't like they used to be anymore shuttling from one end of town to another ) with a relatively laid back chill with some friends (or beer....whichever takes one's fancy...save the fact that a cold one tends to leave the afternoons really rough to handle). That aside, we (namely EO and wife, with Bossa Nova Gal and me) headed indoors to some random TCC outlet to just hang out and ease ourselves a bit after one mad Sushi binge.


The trappings of urban living.






EO never ceases to amaze me at the way he grabs life by the horns and lives it up. Fresh out from a week long reserve stint (and he has to be back again the next day), he managed still to fuel his need for plastic (as I would readily admit too...that I am guilty as charged of having the same addiction). After what appeared to be a rather lost and convoluted design path taken by one of the original designers of the iconic Japanese Anime Mobile Suit Gundam's mechanical designers, it seems that the new chaps at the helm of the new Advance of Zeta series is finally returning to the roots of some serious, knock out, undeniably solid mechanical designs with the Hazel TR-121 giant robot designs (Mobile Suits to the purists). Thank heavens for this renaissance. Let's hope it stays.
