New News!
Just realized I haven't written anything since November 1st so, erm, yeah... news!
- Maybe it's because last fall was particularly sunny, but nothing could dampen my Christmas spirit this year! I cleaned up our apartment till it was almost tidy, decorated for the Holidays and invited my family over for a cute little supper, which was awesome. I dressed up the whole gang for the occasion and made a bunch of seasonal jewelry for them. There are still colorful lights hanging in the kitchen window and I can't help turning them on every night 'cause they make me feel all mushy inside...
Azrai enjoys winter too:
- New Year's Eve was spent with friends drinking good wine and playing out enthralling post-apocalyptic stories. A great beginning for 2010! Tonight we also organized a cheese-themed party to celebrate my favorite mouse's birthday. <3 It doesn't even stop there...
- Dolkot had this great promotion during the Holidays... if you'd buy any of their 1/3 or 1 /4 figures, they'd send a special limited 1 /4 BJD along with your package. Thing is, I've had a crush on Kiss for a little more than 4 years now. At first, I didn't like his body that much and Dolkot didn't sell heads separately. Then they started offering heads, but changed their resin color to something that couldn't match anything. More recently, they switched their bodies to a model I really like... but their price tags were a bit high for me. I was really looking forward to their Holiday special, but wasn't too keen on bringing yet another resinous wonder home (didn't even wanna think about 2!). I was thus a little relieved when I finally saw pictures of Chris, the Christmas boy, 'cause I didn't feel this irrepressible urge to mash the 'buy' button on Dolkot's web page. I still thought I'd offer a friend of mine to do a split, in case she was looking for a cute mini, but I was almost sure she'd decline...
Well guess what? She didn't!
It's quite incredible to finally have this guy with me at home... I feel like I already know his face by heart since I've been ogling pictures of Kiss for so long... yet I keep on discovering new angles. Being himself and all, he's also quite different (to me at least) from all the others who share his mold.
Meet Commander Dilandau Albatou:
He's still missing his proper wig, some eyelashes, his tiara and more pictures, but he's already my favorite pyromaniac. For those who may wonder: yeah... he's based off a villain from the Escaflowne series. I'd say he's no doubt more badass than the original anime version and potentially nicer, but he's still somewhat vain and his preferred problem-solving methods usually include kicking someone's ass, burning down a building or slapping an associate behind the head. I love him~!
- In other news: if you have a look at my Photobucket, you'll notice I had way too much time on my hands some week-end 'cause not only did I upload tons of new pics, but I also found different backgrounds for the albums of all the members of my gang... I'm rather proud. ^_^;
- Last but not least, the position I've been pining for at work has finally been opened! The Program is recruiting now and I've been officially invited to email a 'motivation letter'. If this works out, I should never complain again about needing more time for my Love and my artsy projects! Muhahahahaha! Oh~ I have so much hope!!!! I learned about this near the end of last week and composed the letter yesterday. I can't wait!!! But if my plan fails, no worries: as any evil genius should, I have other plans... Still, I so hope plan A comes to fruition! That would be perfect. Absolutely PERFECT!!!
