2025 was so fast, yet so slow. So good, yet so bad. The times you reached out and almost had them, then you slip and get hurt. The times everyone left you, then they won't come back. The parent you hate, did so much damage, won't be forgiven. The one you love, you almost had, but you slip on your own words. 2025 was a wave reaching for the shore. A hand wanting to be held. A year that proved to us all we can be so much more. No matter what tries to ruin us, a parent, arthritis, surgery, it can't truly take away our courage in our hearts. I'm going to try to be happier and let her go. I'm also looking forward to Masters of the Universe, Avengers: Doomsday, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Dune: Messiah, and The next Doctor Who Christmas Special. All of those coming this year. Just look on the brightside, and things will get better. 

2025 was fabulous. I'm hoping the same for 2026. I just want to get past my partial knee replacement surgery, scheduled for eleven days from now.  I'm a tough old warrior so I think I'll be just fine. 

2025 was probably one of the worst and best years of my life. Health issues were not being solved, other personal matters taking up all the time. I did however gain a grandchild. She came in November of 2024. I found a counsellor that I connect with, and she knows who the heck He-Man and She-Ra is. Both my Masterverse and Origins collections sky-rocketed. 

I hope in 2026 that I finally get an answer to my heart issues. I am tired of nothing helping. I am having to cut back on the collecting until money stabilizes again. I blew my Jan budget for figures on Boxing Week sales. Mattel Creations had too good of a deal on a second 40th anniversary She-Ra and Swift Wind, Despara and Sharella. BBTS had sales and I ended up getting two of the TMNT Skeletor by mistake, Shredder Deluxe, a 3rd Skelcon, Reptilax, Nero-Conda. I used some Canadian sites for Masterverse Mantenna, Anti-Eternia He-Man, Keldor, and Dragstor, New Etheria Despara I had to get off US Amazon. For Origins I ordered 200X He-Man, Beast Man, Stratos, Tri-Klops, Evil-Lyn, Man-At-Arms, Moss Man. I also picked up a bunch of cheap CD's, the Tomb Raider edition Evercade handheld, and a collectors edition of Shantae and the Seven Sirens for the Switch. 

I am looking forward to Spider-Man Brand New Day, Supergirl, Super Mario Galaxy, Mortal Kombat II, and of course Masters of the Universe. 

I hope you get better, friend.

Yeah, 2025 could have been better. Was hoping I could land a somewhat better job. Unfortunately, it did not happen. On the plus side, I've managed to track down a few potential leads these last few weeks. Here's hoping 🤞.

One the plus side, several video games I'm looking forward to are coming out early this year:

Crisol: Theatre of Idols

Mouse PI for Hire

Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls

Invincible VS

Mario Tennis Fever

I have another hospital appointment tomorrow. I am hoping it will just be a routine check-up and I won't have to be hospitalised for any reason. I am so glad it is now Autumn. I just bought the new Disney Twisted Tales novel No One Gets Left Behind (based on Lilo & Stitch) by Keala Kendall and I am excited for Amy Grant's new album The Me That Remains in May, and I am counting down the days until the new Masters Of The Universe movie is released in June. Best Wishes my new and always fabulous friends. 😍 

Great news!!!   

I recently had another hospital appointment and apparently my wounds on my feet are not only free of infection at present but they are decreasing in size. I don't need appointments as regularly and I'm off the antibiotics for the time being. This week I am treating myself to the next Disney Twisted Tales novel Adventure Is Out There by Liz Braswell (based on the movie Up) and Amy Grant's new album The Me That Remains. I am also excited to be seeing the new Masters Of The Universe movie in early June.

Glad to hear you're doing better. 🙂 

Only a few more weeks until Masters Of The Universe comes to cinemas, I am getting increasingly more excited. i love the new photos of The Sorceress and the first image of Moss-Man (Guardian Of Nature). Every update is better than the last. I am most excited to see Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn. I missed Magic Faraway Tree because of illness (I'll have to wait for the DVD) but I am NOT missing Masters. I also bought the Official MOTU & Princess Of Power Anniversary Colouring Book (I am naturally splurging on new MOTU merchandise in the coming months) and I bought Amy Grant's new album The Me That Remains. Despite her spiritual roots, Amy is decidedly liberal in her views which is why I love her.😍

2026 has kinda sucked so far in the world. But let's not let that break our spirits 

Yeah, it hasn't been a great year for me so far but I am hoping things will change for the better soon.

As much as I desperately want to see the new Masters Of The Universe movie in the cinemas (which opens today), I've discovered I have another hospital appointment tomorrow and I won't be fully content and able to give my whole heart to the movie until that appointment is over.

Hospital appointments, even just check-ups, make me nervous (I don't want anymore surgeries).

So if all goes well, I plan to see this beloved movie on Saturday!❤️

Love Masters Of The Universe - and my feet are continuing to heal. 😀
