Our weather is messed up

It's the end of May and we just had a hail shower the size of M&M's. Wasn't quick enough to snap some pics though. Come to think of it, most of the showers lately are consist of hail. How's the weather at your side of the world?

Itsy Bitsy Spider...

I've reserved the area around my current Spiderman collection for other Spiderman villains that I might purchase in the future. The Power Rangers area is reserved for some RPM figures that I am interested in (waiting for sale). And the area under my figures wall shelf is reserved for Marvel Universe (Thank God they are so small!).

So while sitting back on my chair and enjoying the view of MOC figures on my walls, my eyes searched around for more possible open wall space for displaying. Then I noticed a small dot moving on my triangular arched ceiling above my computer desk area. So I took my trusty camera and snapped at the tiny dot at maximum zoom. Here's what I got.

ARGH! And I was about to go to bed too! The highest point of the ceiling is a good 10 or so feet up, so I have no way of reaching up there and getting it. Also while following the spider, I noticed that it went back to the same point over and over again. So I snapped a pic of whatever it is as well.



I cropped the picture to get the actual size. It looks like a friken spider nest!!! Looks like I have some exterminating to do this weekend. I hate spiders. If only I had a Nerf gun right now...

However, I'll let you all know if I wake up tomorrow and suddenly acquired super strength and web-slinging powers.

Have you ever regret...?

...not buying a toy that you probably won't see again?

Today I went to the local flea market. While looking around a table with various loose toys of GI Joes, TMNT, and other characters I do not recognize, I saw some Transformers, they were from Beast Wars. I saw a Rhinox and Tigatron, Tigatron was missing his tail and I wasn't sure if Rhinox was complete at that moment. I lingered for a while, and at the end, I left without them.

Beast wars was my first exposure to Transformers, but back then I didn't get the chance to buy these toys because the characters that I liked were never in stock, and I only saw shelf warmers that I didn't like. I only started getting the toys in the Transmetal series. Back then, I like only the Maximals; actually most of the toys I had (from any show) were the "Good guys". The characters that I remember most clearly are Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Tigatron, Rattrap, Rhinox, and Dinobot (although Dinobot belongs to both Maximals and Predacons depending on timeline of the series).

I am not totally sure why I didn't buy them even though I had a feeling that I would regret it if I didn't. They were at most a few bucks. But I guess it's the fact that I never bought used TF's. Another thing is that these were/maybe incomplete and I don't know if I'd ever complete them. At that time, I was thinking, hmmm maybe I should just check Ebay to get a complete one instead. Then I checked when I got home and the prices were pretty outrageous.

Anyways, next time I see another TF for cheap, I will definitely buy it so I won't regret it later.
