While it's a little odd to see "Wonder Woman" with violet eyes, I like the fact that the Polly Pocket three-pack DC 75th Anniversary set is clearly Polly and friends playing dress-up as Batgirl, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman, not Polly Pocket interpretations of the characters, if that makes any sense.

First day back, playing massive catch-up, AND  ( Read more... )

I have been crazed with Comic-Con prep, and all the journaling I have considered doing about lizards and bugs and dogs and rain hasn't happened. Mostly because of the last... just when I think I'm caught up, something happens, either a monsoon or just a thunderstorm, and poof! goes the internet.

See y'all on the far side!

Recently celebrated my birthday in a low key way with the boys. It fell on a school day, but there were presents and cupcakes and love, and really, what more could a girl want?

Because I have the Best Husband and Best Boy Ever, I received a pair of "Liz Lemon" (as in "30 Rock")  cupcake pajamas, a purple sandwich knife that goes great with my bright ( Read more... )

Sign of true love #1: When one's hubby lets one spend all of the joint gift certificates on the complete Powerpuff Girls DVD collection, even though he's not a fan.

Sign of true love #2: When one watches part of a Three Stooges marathon AND part of a W.C. Fields marathon with the hubby within the span of a week...

YMMV..

Anyone on the flist watching the SyFy Channel's "Alice"?
We haven't been, but now I'm wondering if I should try to catch it in reruns, if only because I heard from a friend that the Queen of Hearts is named "Mary(E)lizabeth Constance H(e)art."
And, ya know, there aren't a lot of Maryelizabeth C. Harts running around out there, fictional or

On Saturday, as well as Spamalot, I went to the movies while David was at the Homecoming Dance. Saw "Jennifer's Body," which was pretty worthwhile. Not sure it matched Time's description of "Heathers with teeth" (or words to that effect), but it had some interesting expressions of what it's like when one's high school BFF becomes evil. "Not high ( Read more... )

But I am confused by Black Canary Barbie being a "black label" Adult Collectors Only item...

But Harley-Davidson Barbie, who frankly looks much more like trollop Barbie to me, is "pink label" for all ages.

Can't tell if I'm pleased or dismayed to have discovered in Netflix's feedback choices (you know, the ones that let the Neflix robot always recommend one watch Elvis movies, no matter what the data is...), there's a story line category choice of: Monkey.

Huh...

I spend the day at MG, working on processing Comic-Con sales and catching up on various office tasks from the past week. Go to Sipz for lunch with my girlfriend Sharon, which is great, since we only saw each other for like 18 seconds at Comic-Con, since she was working the booth and I was mostly elsewhere.

Jeff and David run ( Read more... )

Astonishingly, despite all that’s already taken place, the convention’s only about half over!

Saturday starts later for me than some days, so I’m actually able to have breakfast in the hotel with David. Jeff’s off having breakfast with some fellow authors. We almost don’t make it to breakfast when the elevator we’re in stops ( Read more... )
