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: MG Sword Impulse Gundam

Happy Martin Luther King Day Nerds! Let's remember the importance of civil rights and fighting with love for the cause of social justice became something we Americans can appreciate thanks to this man. Today's Nerd Build features only my second master grade build, and my new favorite looking Gundam. This master grade Sword Impulse Gundam from the Gundam Seed Destiny series is an absolute gangster (Even if the main character who pilots it is the most detestable Gundam pilot ever)! The colors are so vivid, and the sword silhouette flyer is awesome. Anyways, let the pictures speak for themselves…and the captions also.

The box art which is actually cooler than the angle of the picture that I took of it.
