Ken Month!

February is Ken Month, because Ken and Kolin's birthday is (of all days) Valentine's Day. I know you may suggest making February Kolin Month, especially because of her Ada Wong costume in Street Fighter 5 - but some peeps said to keep it as Ken Month, because of my late Grandpa Ken (whose birthday was in Balrog Bashing Month, specifically the Resident Evil 2 day September 29). Inevitably, my dad is a Ken main - and so was Donut Lord actually, but I think he just picked him like out of random?


Nothing major this month, among other things Pancake Day this year is on (of all days) Chun Li's birthday instead of in Ken Month - but I can tell you, my new Ryu face mask arrived just now! Let's hope I can wear it soon...

Have a good Ken month everyone

Awwww, thanks Biyomon 0:-)


And mom says, yes we will do Easter this year. I know it's a couple of months away, but I do like to plan ahead - and being an auntie, well obviously that now includes introducing my little niece Murphy to the celebration, no?

Have you started wearing the Ryu mask when you go outside.

Congratulations on that Ryu mask arriving

Not yet. It's a Street Fighter face mask, so we all know when it's for :jay:

And I had my recurring nightmare last night, about... a bad ending to the dramatic 'jettison tube' scene of Bucky O'Hare fame. Ugh, no :-(

You've had many fears and complaints about that nightmare

Yep, that one again. Sick, I know!


For those who don't get it, I have a recurring nightmare, about a bad ending to a rather dramatic scene from this episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPN2TsQJW5g of my favourite cartoon Bucky O'Hare, the scene begins at about 8:57 into this video;
also, the scene appears in issue 13 of the comics. I'm sure we're all relieved, how it turns out all right in the end;
and yes, I realise the point of it being a hostage crisis should be a little Damme familiar to us all - but my nightmare is just sick!

I actually first had the nightmare during the NES War - indeed adding to the agony of the situation... and my resolve to win, as I wouldn't let peeps beat me into submission especially after I had such a painful nightmare, which yes I realise could have implied about this lethal missile playing on my mind. Thankfully I won - and would chalk up many wins one way or another, whatever missile anyone threw at me, shockingly including how the nightmare turned out to be recurring. But when I found out about Raul Julia... well, 'nuff said!

I hate nightmares. The sandman must be turned to stone for causing nightmares

Thanks Kisara, but my nightmares aren't THAT dangerous. I usually try and think of a comforting story as I hit the sack, but Gran said something about nightmares being because X negative real life experience plays on Y person's mind - which, again, could explain why I first had the jettison tube nightmare during the NES War. Hell, certain hater attacks here led to me having nightmares - including one person on my ignore list actually wishing for me to have the jettison tube nightmare, and shockingly the wish came true...


Additionally, there is a Native American ornament called a dreamcatcher, which is said to catch bad dreams in its web. I have two of these.

Me too especially when it affects traveling and it is too heavy to shovel

and I think either last night's storm caused a power cut, or maybe Sky was updating their systems? I turned my TV on this morning, and it instantly showed the Sky intro thing...

Weather is really bad every where this year

Is it because of that storm, which has been in the news lately?

I don't know what Lemmy might think of this, but a hacker named Gary Bowser -who has been hacking/pirating Nintendo games- has been sentenced to jail time. And yes, there are memes about it.

I am sure things will get better after a week or two. Weather wise

I hope so. We had rain today... and mom hopes it will go, so she can make her bee hotels in the garden.

Ken's birthday today

And Kolin's, too!


I do have some good news, for fans of Kolin's Ada Wong costume in Street Fighter 5: I am getting the Ada Wong rubber duck, as an Easter present! I might as well, with Resident Evil 2 being as good as ripe for my next airing celebration.

Ada was my first choice for wave 2 of the Resident Evil rubber ducks, both because she's the only female in wave 2 and, yes, because of Kolin's Ada costume - but I had the Nemesis first, because Halloween was drawing near and, well, he's a zombie. However, the Nemesis duck is still yet to make his Halloween debut, because there were no airings at that time.


Now, I know some of you may ask about me having the Jill Valentine duck, yes because of Cammy's Jill costume - well yes, I already have that one (she was actually one of my purchases, on my first shopping trip since the initial lockdown);
and yes I plan to use her for all baths I take during my next airing celebration, again in contribution to getting revenge for Kylie. No promises, though, if the Ada duck can immediately make her bath time debut - but we shall see...
