So, I just made the super-intelligent decision to put pre-orders on the Hot Toys figures for Black Widow and Coulson and a wait list for Hawkeye ( Read more... )

Working for ten hours and forty-five minutes on Black Friday was underwhelming, as it turned out. Maybe the crazy went away before I got there? The store opened at midnight, but I came in at 11 AM, so presumably that was the case. Things were busy, but not hugely so, and I think it was actually less unpleasant than some of my eight-hour days have ( Read more... )

Today I finally got the joy of going shopping for respectable work clothes for my job (I have never had a real dress code before in my life, it is weird), which meant using my employee discount, because hey, department stores aren’t super-fancy, an employee discount alone should be enough to ensure a reasonable total cost, right ( Read more... )

Today I did a group interview at the mall Disney Store, because they were hiring and I passed the application test (are you familiar with the concept of retail? are you stupid enough to say that you're not available to work holidays?). Before it started, when we were milling around inside the store looking at stuff, one of them pointed to a ( Read more... )

So! Went to Comicon. Took a bunch of pictures. On my cellphone, because my camera broke. Now I do not know how to get the pictures off my cellphone. I can use a USB to plug it into my computer but all it wants to do is sync music and I didn't even know I had music on there and...anyway, my point is, pictures later (or not); here is a post about ( Read more... )

Things that make me want to get back more actively into the T&B fandom: The upcoming release of two little figures of Kotestu and Barnaby in black formal wear, both of which, though sold separately, are clearly in the position for a fistbump.

how does Sunrise know all of my weaknesses

Best part of my day: going to the mall to buy stuff and discovering that they have a Pokemon vending machine and immediately buying an Oshawott plush pretty much just because I was ridiculously excited by the concept of a Pokemon vending machine, and then coming home and discovering it is one of the only four in the entire US. So. Uh. I guess a mid ( Read more... )

MOM, upon seeing the Hungary figure I ordered way back in spring and only just got: Is the frying pan for pancakes?
ME: No, for hitting people.
MOM: Oh. That's nice.

That is all.

Man I had kind of forgotten how good it is to be productive! Today I worked on both the help_haiti pieces (writing the characters that I am writing is so much fun, you guys, and the art involves poses that are not generic-standing-up and clothes that are not t-shirts and pants and things that are not people, probably it is all very educational), continued to ( Read more... )

As an early birthday present, my parents got me a Sebastian Nendoroid.

He has a pose where he is holding a (removable) cat.

I already have a tiny Ciel figure.

I think you can see where this is going.

Honestly I do my best to promote the non-skeevy aspects of the series because when it is non-skeevy or cracky it is actually really interesting, but. ( Read more... )
