So I really really REALLY want some stuff from the BPAL Halloween line-don't I always want something from the BPAL Halloween line? But I'm being good this year, I only want the Pumpkin Patch and a couple of loose bottles-and I am consequentially preparing for a post-book release art sale. I have a bunch of dead girls and some comic strips that ( Read more... )

Dear inner magpie;

While I appreciate that you have always felt free to spread your wings and become an outer magpie when the urge struck you, I wish to draw your attention to the fact that you're entering convention season, you're in the middle of a large framing project, and you're about to get a kitten. Bearing all of these things in mind, I ( Read more... )

So vixyish -- cunning, clever, wonderful vixyish -- decided to get me a belated birthday gift this year, and bought me some of the Halloween BPAL that I'd been lusting after. Have I mentioned recently that I love her like whoa? I keep meaning to do a proper review, but I realized that a) it's never going to happen at my current rate (I still owe people reviews ( Read more... )

As I study my shelves, I realize that I have a great deal of BPAL that's never actually been reviewed. This needs to be corrected, if only so that I will know which of the many, many imps currently cluttering my BPAL collection are safe to get rid of. And some of them need to go. They're threatening to overflow the bowl I store them in. Review ( Read more... )

The BPAL Halloween Update has gone live. Behold my whimpering and lusting, for this is what seems to happen this time every year. I'm not quite as consumed by lust as I have been some years, but looking over the list, I find myself with a deep and abiding yearning for ( Read more... )

So I wear a lot of BPAL, but I keep forgetting to do reviews, largely, I think, because space cadet cat is currently orbiting one of Jupiter's moons. The San Diego Comicon this year boasted a BPAL exclusive, however, and being me, I was forced to beg and plead for it to come to my house and have a party. Well, it did, and now I will rejoice.

1) BPAL is weird. This month's Lunacy (the monthly scent based on the moon doing moon-type things, moonishly) is called 'Sturgeon Moon.' Yes, even the fish get their own month around these parts ( Read more... )

So I got home Saturday night to find two packages waiting on my doorstep, both for me. Score! I love getting mail. There's almost nothing better in the world than getting mail (that isn't bills or just random trash). So I squealed, did a little dance step, grabbed my surprise goodies, and retreated into the house to make with the opening ( Read more... )

Just the other day, I was thinking 'hmmmmm...perhaps I have sufficient BPAL to keep me occupied for, say, the rest of recorded time.'

And now? Now, they've released their BPAL Steamworks collection, which is, I swear, the first General Catalog collection that I've looked at and thought 'yeah, all right, I'll just take that, then, shan't I?' ( Read more... )

Morning spent...

...writing. My world is consumed by continuity changes, textual corrections, and trying to remember to format my damn ellipses the right way. (Hint: the way I use them in this journal is not actually the right way. Just so, y'know, you know ( Read more... )
