wow. 2 weeks already?? ignore how half-baked things look atm. working on my website has been low on my list of priorities. coding takes time and energy i don't have. i'm not abandoning my site but updates will slow down for now. my brainpower is dedicated to personal stuff and pushing through work so i can get my motorcycle by next year

speaking of motorcycles. holy fuck i love them and holy fuck i miss them so much. instead of getting an mt-03 and upgrading later, i'm going with the yamaha r3 right away.

i did buy my gloves and boots recently. next on my list is a helmet. i'm going shoei because kaneda had a shoei sticker on his bike BUT i'm not just a gay loser.. their helmets ARE good. the rf1400 is my favorite. once i have all my gear i can officially say i'll be ready for classes next year

small akira collection update.. i got another young magazine copy. it has no tracking so i just have to hope nothing goes wrong or else. my friend got me the 2019 4K blu-ray forever ago and it's FINALLY showing up this week. AND, otomo complete works AKIRA 1 releases in just a few days!!!!! i'm so fucking excited its not even funny. i cant wait to see all the original young magazine art. i love akira so much haha

kaneda's birthday is september 5th... i think i'll make a video edit like i always do or draw something. who knows. whatever i make should go up on my twitter or tumblr.

good news, the magazine is real. i guess it took ebay some time to update. anyways it's in amazing condition; its hard to believe i paid $77 for this when these magazines always go for way higher. funny because the only other young mag issue i own cost about $125 and has all kinds of stains on it.. i guess that one's more expensive because of an alt page + includes one of the vol 3 singularity spreads

the BRUTUS magazine i got arrived 2 days ago. it's the issue from 2012-2013 all about katsuhiro otomo. i got the original issue and the book that cuts out all the advertisements. 2 sticker sheets included. one sticker was missing but i put them on my ipad and notebook.

bought another young magazine issue for my collection, akira part 27. still hasn't shipped. the seller has great reviews and i don't doubt the item's validity but its been almost a week.. i've gotten scammed once before so i'm not excited right now

might have overhauled my website a bit more. trying to bring things together + having fun + blowing things up. i changed my background because i couldn't get the "palette" to feel cohesive. if i find another akira image that fits with whatever palette i have then ill switch to it 100%. glitchy bliss for now

also found out theres 4 motorcycle classes left with 1 slot for this year. next year it is i guess. disappointing. i wanted to do that this year then buy my bike next year. whatever. im saving up for gear which is required; that's expensive too. once i have all my gear ill apply to classes and get back on a bike

coding a website may be addicting. i've written personal stuff here and there, usually after getting off work in the morning. i haven't drawn. im still not a fan of my art right now. but coding is easier on my tired brain. i'm proud of how the site has turned out, i want to put cringe shit on it!!

yesterday i went to a dealership to look @ the bike i want again. one day yamaha mt-03.. it wasn't there, but my friend and i walked around for a while. they bought a helmet.

ALSO same friend gave me a new computer. i've used win10 on a pc that's almost a decade old for so many years. this new win11 computer is so fast it's strange to me. excited to play games without so much lag though.

general overhaul 90% done. i feel more accomplished without relying on a premade framework. they're cool and i'm still using one here, but using it for the layout of the whole site felt cheap.
