Wolf Kanno's Crazy Ramblings and Incoherent Statements

I know I already have a lot on my plate, but I do want to finish a few other things besides writing projects and my various marathons.

I like to do gunpla and other mecha themed model kits, and I still have six more I need to finish. I have the old MG line of Gundam Wing Endless Waltz models from back in the early 2000s and I still need to put together the Tallgeese III to complete the set. I also recently picked up the EW version of Gundam Epyon from the same series because GW was my first Gundam series and I have a serious soft spot for all the mecha designs. I've dabbled with the Macross series, but I genuinely hate the quality of the model kits I've put together with them, so I'm probably not going to really bother with them anymore.



I also have set 1 of the Xenogears models and I really want to put them together, but they are going to require painting and I am not at all ready for that. My one foray into painting Gundam models didn't end well. So I guess I need to work through that minor trauma before I start working on them, especially since I feel painting them before assembly will be the easiest way to go about it.



Beyond model kits, I also want to sit down and watch a few movies and anime series this year, the big one being Serial Experiment Lain, a classic I never got around to back in the day. I also want to go through Revolutionary Girl Utena again and also rewatch Hades Project Zeorymer. I also want to rewatch Gundam Wing and Yu Yu Hakusho sometime as well.

For films, I'm hoping to watch the original Universal Studios version of Dracula from the 30s. I also wanted to rewatch Bringing Out the Dead and Cecil B. Demented since it has been almost two decades since I've watched either film. I also have two more films planned but that will depend on other factors. I also forgot I owned some of the Lone Wolf and Cub films and Akira Kurosawa's Dreams, so they may also be on the docket because I enjoy foreign and art films. I need to find a copy of Spring Summer Fall Winter...Spring as it might be my favorite Korean film after a Tale of Two Sisters.

Granted, I don't plan on doing this all at once, I'll likely spread this across the year.
