Nerd Life: Earthquake!

As you all may know, La Habra, Calfornia was host to a 5.1 scale earthquake on Friday night. To put it in perspective of how intense it was, the last "Big One" in Southern California was the 1994 Northridge earthquake which was a 6.7, so this one may not have been as strong, but was still pretty intense, so intense I was feeling aftershocks until yesterday. Mrs. Nerd and I live a couple miles from the epicenter, and even though I was 13 miles away teaching Bible study I could still feel it. Unfortunately, Mrs. Nerd was home and she felt the whole thing. She said it lasted about 20 seconds and eventually she was able to make it out of the apartment. Unfortunately, when she got back in the apartment, she saw that a bunch of my figurines and Gundams had fallen off of the shelves. Some parts were just loosed by the fall, but some had actually snapped and broken pieces. I got to see the damage when I got home and in the end was just too tired and distraught to put them back together. So for now I put them back in their respective boxes for a "reconstruction day".

Nerd Builds: HG GM Sniper K9

Time for another Nerd Builds~! Praise the Lord that I have a new build to share with everyone once a week. Also thanks to Tamo and my friends at Robot4Less in Fullerton, CA. Today's model is the Renato Brothers custom 1:144 high grade GM Sniper K9 from the Gundam Build Fighters series. With this series quickly coming to a close (I guess they're doing something unusual and finishing the series out at 25 episodes) there will be many new Build Fighters models coming out in the upcoming months. But the GM Sniper K9 was loads of fun because of it's sheer uniqueness. Let's get into it.

How much is that doggy in the window? The one with the gigantic sniper rifle for the head?
