I dont really enjoy vegging outon the couch.

I am paradoxically curious about everything, but quickly get bored when my brain isnt engaged.

I always need to bedoingsomething.

Its aGundam, to be specific, a giant space robot from a long-running Japanese animated series.

Plus Gundams look cool.

It was an unexpectedly refreshing day.

My eyes were tired from pouring over the intricate diagrams while straining to remember a little Japanese from school.

Im starting to understand why people make intricate model railroads in their basements.

I needed new, completely different problems to solve to flush out the latent work anxiety.

Im not saying, of course, that everyone should go out and buy an expensive Gundam kit today.
