Pity, that you put it in front of a shining monitor for the photos.

Silly otaku, I dunno. :P
Herp derp, I was supposed to reply to this post on the same day you wrote this, but then the connection died and I forgot and stuff. :doh:
Let's try it again this time..

I don't know much of DN, since I haven't seen it. It's maybe a bit too popular for me, and I wouldn't really like the theme of it either. But Lucky Star... YESSSS! A great choice. It was one of the first series' when I started to watch anime more, and I still rate it as one of the best. I actually finished today the second round of it. And then I will watch it again the next summer. K-ON is well worth watching, if you like the humor of Lucky Star. And maybe Renkin San Kyu Magical Pokaan.

I'm currently watching 10 series', of which one is "old" and other ones are currently airing.
The series':
Comedy - Seitokai Yakuindomo, Minami-ke, Kaicho wa Maid-sama! (Super hilarious, everyone should definitely watch this one!), K-On Season 2, Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi, Mitsudomoe
Fanservice (AKA, have to get the DVDs of these to see some more...) - Asobi ni Iku Yo, High School of the death, Strike Witches Season 2(So cute)
Romance - Amagami SS

I also checked the series' that will start in autumn and... There were 9 series'... And I think atleast Strike Witches and maybe Asobi ni Iku Yo, HOTD and Ookami-san might continue for 13 extra episodes, so this might mean 13 series to watch. Well, atleast I have something to do when I'm bored. :P

Funny, I have never watched any anime, but LS somehow attracted me. I've watched first episode, but surely will check the others .It's so random, but probably that's the spirit of this series.
I think, that I'll become Izumi fan, though I'm not otaku.

You've shown this list before, that's for sure. And in what format do you have these movies? VHS/DVD or in .wmv/etc? How did you collect them?

@edit
Ah, just now I saw this "size" column :doh:
Do you lend these movies or something?

They were all in DVD form, but I 'edited' them back to MPG files. Much more convenient.

I record them myself, download them or trade them by post :)

I have a mid/end 90s Jaguar D-Type which, according to a website I checked years and years ago, is worth $80 :D

Special rims or something like that.

I also have a japanese box Mini Cooper, an SUV (forgot the name) that has one wheel that is black (it was like it when i unpacked it) and a wrongly painted Mach 5 (it isn't the desert version because it came in a normal Mach 5 box) that is sprayed brown everywhere, even the tyre treads.

My other main hobby, the collecting and running of various model trains. Therapeutic, if you think about it (as long as your bloody loco works when it's meant to. :rolf: )

More pics here.

Although I have a few Hot Wheels stashed away, it's not exactly a memorable or extensive collection.

Fantastic, that's my favourite bit of the movie actually. :D Some days when it's not working like it should, you just feel like blowing them up in a similar fashion. ;)

Dave has a case of the "not a happy bunny syndrome". Remember the Mustang from earlier? The paint chipped and got ruined, so it got stripped back and redone into a more tasteful black with silver stripes. But, two weeks into the new paint scheme (and already having won a race with it), the end result of collecting the beanbag at the end of the track...

Dave is f... erm, vexed, to say the least.

Ouch, those look nasty. Looks like you'll need to try a different type of paint which won't crack that easily...

Easier said than done. A lot of the US built cars tend to have resin bodies and many of them seem to survive alright paint wise.
