Godzilla Spousal Abuse by ~Shin-Goji on deviantART

So I don't follow the multiple websites or solve the puzzles, I just don't have time. I'd be lying however, if I said I didn't care. This looks like a giant monster movie and I wanna see it.

It's been a while since I've updated. Never plan a wedding while remodeling your house.

The carpet took a while to get properly installed, but it's very nice and the cat loves it. I need to install an air conditioner for the dog days of summer. The comic book collection is on the left, but it seriously needs some organizing. My Ghost Rider / Giant Robot collection is off camera on the right. My Battle Angel Alita egg still needs repair before this feels complete. once I get a computer of my own, this will be my studio.

So the room's clean. I can't seem to get the feeling of grit off the floor no matter how many times I vacuum or sweep. I'm going to get some plush carpet to replace the thin outdoor carpet that's inhabited the room since the 70's or beyond. We found a remnant that was 14x12 for $109.00. I'll keep the scraps to fill in what I can and to color match for if I decide to carpet the entire room. Right now, I just want to furnish one half of the room.
SGAC keeps pushing me to paint the room, I just can't get into it. I'm tired and beyond exhausted. I'm not going to commit to anything until next week. The goal is to get everything out of the room so I can have a clean canvas with which to paint using my mind. I've got ideas to make the kaiju collection more dominating than ever before.
More to come.

So with every disaster, there are casualties. This is mine. My entire Godzilla collection weathered the flood. However, my Rusty Angel Battle Angel Alita resin statue didn't fare so well. The stress of moving around the desk unit she sat on caused clean seperations at her shoulder and base. They can be re-expoxied back together with a little drilling to help out. C-Ball has volunteered to do what he can. Years ago I would have been more upset about something like this, especially considering the hours that Marius put into her. The model almost became airborne several times during building because it was so hard to put together. But I'm just glad this was all that was damaged, and I have faith it will get repaired. At least it didn't shatter.
Gally-chan was my first anime love. I remember picking up my first issue of the Viz comics series at Silver City comics. I even have the vidoe game that is completely in Japanese language and only works on a Japanese system. The artwork alone is worth keeping. Pictured above is another Marius model, which also almost learned how to become airborne. One either side are two Battle Angle Marmit figures, both very rare and expensive to get.
More to come.

Disaster hit. For years I bragged how if our house flooded, all of South Carolina would have to go under first because of the elevation. So hubris is defined as the washing machine flooding the garage-turned-into-a-room where my comic books, studio and Godzilla collection are.

The collection is on shelves and mostly vinyl, and the comic books were in boxes on a table. But the carpet, which was old, was ruined. This was the room where as a kid, my sister and I would play in a toybox big enough for both enough to crawl into with all of our stuff. Hence, this became the toybox room.

The humidity was terrible. I had to open all four windows, plug in two fans, and trash the carpet. I moved out as much as I could, and luckily there was no real damage to the house.
However, as you can see from the picture, the place is still a mess.

The plan is to move EVERYTHING out so that I can reconstruct with a blank canvas. New carpet is top priority after sweeping and vacuuming, since the floor sill has stains from when it was a garage. There's a place up the street where I have the chance of possibly scoring some remnants. Then I can move the collection back downstairs.

This has been a hellishly trying weekend. I busted my ass for two weeks straight with my nose to the grindstone trying to finish the second Archive CD. I finish with a day to spare, and then bust more ass trying to get ready for the con. The washing machine pisses all over my studio room, and my fiance gets ill at the same time. No studio, no con.

One of my fans really gave me a light shining down on my misery. Maybe it was God's way of making sure I didn't get into an accident over the weekend. I'll just keep my faith in Him and take this opportunity to max out the room.

More pictures to come of reconstruction, as well as damage reports. There was one casualty, but no fatalities.

Ok, welcome to the Twisted Kaiju Theater “Restless Dreams” after-party. This is an insider’s view of the longest, most intensive storyline in TKT history. In the course of this essay I’ll give you a look inside how this epic was put together, what made the cut and what ended up on the cutting room floor, and who helped in its design.

So there you have it. I didn’t think this story would go on for almost a season and a quarter, but it did. I promise you that there’s little chance of another story taking this long to tell. I’d like to thank Grendel for his great custom figure work, cthon98 for making mini-Nuke and for styling Son Goharotto’s hair, Son Goharotto for lending me his ear and his art, the mods of the forum for their constant feedback, SGAC for helping provide the skeleton of the story, and Son Goharotto once again for giving it a working circulatory system, and Chaos Sepher for the nerves, without which I wouldn't have been able to tie everything together. But thank you most of all to the fans. It was a big risk to do something this huge, and I’m lucky as hell that it made sense to you and entertained you. This has been a milestone in TKT history and I feel like it will help the site grow as a webcomic. Your faith has been uplifting and encouraging. Thank you once again, and stay tuned because I’m not done yet.

Saturday Night Chat with The Man


( The questions asked ) That’s all for now, kids. Maybe we’ll do this again towards the end of April.

Ok, so this is my first entry. Popular webcomics have LJ's, so I'm going to follow a trend instead of setting one, for once.
