This month, a show from my childhood started a campaign to come back. After 1 month of news, promises, rewards, celebrities, and even a telethon, they did it!

Mystery Science Theater 3000 is a fun show where a guy and 2 robots are in space. They are forced to watch bad movies but they comment on it and make lots of jokes. You can see episodes of it on youtube still, and I still watch MST3K in my spare time. The show has brought my friends and I so much joy, and helped me make new friends online. They riffed (made fun of) many kinds of movies, including Gozilla!

The campaign relied on fans of the show to donate money. I donated too! And we went over the 2million dollars mark early! It was so exciting! We learned about who the new stars of the show would be, and we were promised rewards like T-shirts, mugs, keychains, posters, and autographs. I donated on behalf of my friend, for his birthday, and promised him the rewards. This campaign style called Kickstarter, uses the money of the fans to make the TV show, so the fans are updated where the money is going. There is no cable or TV executives around to make changes so the creator can do whatever he wants. He's promised to listen to what we want!

We made enough money to make 14 episodes of MST3K next year, and I'm thrilled!  

I really enjoy strolling around hardware stores. One of my favorites is Nishimura Joy. It's so big and has lots of unique stuff, stuff that Daiki doesn't have. I've purchased a lot of stuff from there and made it into various things such as tables, shelves, and a dragon. Well, as I was wandering throughout the store I found this big chair. Now I want to build one just like it. But how many should I build... Hmm.

  

This past weekend a bunch of my friends had an end-of-the-year party, which they invited me to. We ended up going to Reoma World, staying the night in the hotel. It was my first time going. It was quite interesting.
We spent most of the day at the amusement park, walking around and trying out rides and such. I personally am not fond of amusement parks (mainly because I am too chicken to go on most of the rides, haha). But since I was with everyone, I was able to try a few of the attractions. I went on the mini roller coaster (I think meant for kids) and screamed my head off because I could barely handle it, ha ha ha. I also went through a haunted house. You can only go in groups of four, and I ended up with three girls in our group. I tried to be scared, but I was laughing too much from how scared the rest were going through.
At night. the entire park was lit up. It was that time of year, and it was quite nice to look at. I got separated from everyone else, so I ended up enjoying it all by myself. There was also a (very) short fireworks display. It was pretty, but it ended before I could find a comfortable spot to watch from.
The rest of the night was spent with everyone playing games in our rooms, such as Waruhige and Twister. It made for an interesting night, to say the least.

I was really glad I could take part in it. I know I have another end-of-the-year party to go to next week. I hope it turns out to be just as fun!
