Today I got my Robot Santa and Bender as Santa figures. They are as awesome as I thought they would be!!
I am also waiting for some old Moore figures (Leela, Fry and variant Chef Bender) to arrive. There are a few more new toys from Toynami, to be released soon, that I am going to get. Looks like my collection will be growing .

This one is yesterday’s photo. Gardiner was closed so, apart from spending more than 3 hours in hellish traffic, I took this photo. I did not have a UV filter for this particular lens, but it looks OK (more or less). I was hoping for someone to walk down the road but the workers only drive on yellow trucks these days.
It is such an unusual view in Toronto. I have seen this highway empty before, but every time it feels like I am in a haunted town. Suddenly the whole world is lost.
I never thought I would need to see cars on the highway in order to remember that my overpopulated metropolis is still there, living, breathing, swearing at other drivers.

Second day! Still going strong!
This time I decided to record my first trip to Silver Snail (definitely not the last one). I went to look around and check out the type of toys they sell and left with three figures that I was not looking for.
I got Cartman as Ming Lee because that’s my favorite episode of South Park. I got Tom & Jerry because they remind me of my childhood. And I got Kidrobot Simpsons toy (Marge) because they are nice!
The store only had about three Futurama figures in total: one Leela and two Kifs, so they probably won’t have any new figures any time soon. I have seen a few nice Star Trek collectibles, all available on eBay as well. There is a ton of Star Wars stuff, really nice miniature figures.
It is a nice store. But I will have to visit it a few more times to make sure I saw all the stuff they have (and pick up some unexpected treats)!

Well, I decided to start a 365 project. I am not certain if I will manage to keep it up, but I will certainly try.
This is my first day and I already did not have time to look for anything interesting. Instead, I took a photo of my notebooks and folders to document that I was taking care of my studies today.
Not a perfect beginning but it will have to do.
