Ah, god, it's been forever!
...
I say that too much.
Anyways! Everyone's beloved, good, really nice, always right, not wrong at all CAT! is back in LA baby what's up. And...I gave this blog a new theme! I hope you like it. What? You like the old one more? (shoots you) Wrong answer
Jokes aside~~~ I've been wanting to change my blog theme for a while! I've been loyal to the Watermark Bubblegum theme since the very start of this blog, but nearly 4 years have passed...legacy is good but so is change, I guess. That and also, this theme feels a bit more...me :-) a bit too cute, but still, the casual-ness of the layout...it feels like the person behind this blog is nice and not stuck-up...(lol)
This Ramadan was incredibly pathetic mainly because I was alone...well, alone-ness isn't bad, but i was just so disconnected from anything and I hope that never happens to me ever again at all whatsoever. I've been questioning my connection to God a bit too much...(sweats) well, it's over and I'm wearing eid PJs and pretending to study microbiology lalalalala~
Tomorrow I'm going over to my uncle's place for lunch. His two sons are back from fucken GERMANY and it's nice to see them again. I just hope I can have a nice reputation of my own too. Today my older cousin was showing my other one how to use letterboxd www
...the title of this post says "haul", right? WHERE IS IT?
First thing was...something I had to ship out on its own! It was a set of 9 Zany Zap Press issues. What is a Zany Zap Press? A sandwich? Think again! This was GB's quarterly fanclub newsletter before they were rich enough for Marukin! It's got them, Guild, and, in later issues, Anli Pollicino. The issues i got were Autumn and Winter 2011, Spring, Summer and Autumn 2012, Spring and Summer 2013, some 2014 issue, and some 2015 issue, probably Winter. It's not *as much* stuff as I expected, but still very very much worth the buy. Do keep in mind that the earlier issues pale in comparison to the later ones in terms of content, mostly they focus on bonus pics of merch photoshoots, not so much concert pics and interviews. Still nice to have something to look through, you know?
A little peek of the Autumn 2011 issue. I can see why this is FC exclusive I don't wanna share pics of these issues with anyone at all. I'm no better than a copyright-dick-riding gatekeeper
What I meant in regards to the content wwww see what I mean?
A GB towel from their 2019 X-mas live! I got it to hang up in my room.
How I'll do that? Beats me www
444 no Kiseki by hy4_4yh~! I found this and figured I'd get it.
If the Mercari store I got this from sees this, you will pay for cancelling my Taiyo to Issho order. I've been wanting that CD for 3 years. You denied me of the last Milano-era single I need in my collection. Fuck you. Thanks for the 444 no Kiseki though!
I still have yet to listen to it, but I remember listening to the title track since it was in my Hyper Singles compilation album. Cute stuff. Yon yon dayoooooon
Hummingbird!! A cute one I saw and figured I'd get as well as it was a similar case to 444 where I only listened to the title track. I'm so happy I got this because...now I have every hy4_4yh single from 2009 and 2010!!!! What the hell!!!!!
It's so pink and cute...cute...and pink...
A pretty interesting buy for me is this...Golden Bomber Kanzen, it's a photobook/mook from 2013 published by Rokuhaisha (maybe they'd ring a bell to any J-pop fans? the book came with this pamphlet/promo paper and they also publish a magazine called J-Generation and they published a similar book for MomoClo) which is essentially just a buuunch of pics from the HNO2013 tour with a bunch of blurbs about the members. It's fun~~
I shall carry on the Ketsugya torch, random Mercari seller...thank you...
The paper thing in question promoting other things from the same publishing house.
Kinda looks like he's trapped under ice (lol)
Watch what happens when I buy merch of a bandman I don't know!!!
Do you know this bandman's name? Seriously I don't remember.

This was all for 1500 yen!!! Can you believe it??? And in such perfect condition too...QuQ I wanna use some of the Kenji b-day magnets...
A Lizmelo tote from the 2014 lottery. It's tinyyyyy!!!! I should aim for an actual LL bag next time, but this'll do ww it's really cute, all my essentials fit in it nicely~~
OMG~~~~ got a dior package~~~~~
...who the fuck are these people?
No haul of mine is complete without a DVD for "why not" reasons. This is my stupidest one yet; Guild's 2014 quote unquote drama NECK ~When You Wish Upon A ROCK Star~. It has Kirisho in it and some of the episode titles are parodies of GB songs. I can't wait to watch it once I'm done studying microbiology =_=
I got too excited.
Yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...
Now I have 3 chronological Kenji cam angle DVDs...I remember I was talking to a mutual of mine and i mentioned getting this DVD if i passed my first semester. WE MADE IT!!!
I have yet to watch it, as always, but I can't wait...I'm breathing heavily...I really need to be mentally ill again
Strangely erotic...>///<
The fruits of my labor...and the box that birthed them w
Woo! I'm getting sleepy...
Bye!!
