So I did not find the Sunset Shimmer plush, as I was hoping to. The waiting gap for the Applejack and Octavia plushies two years ago was March to the end of July, and that's been about the same timeframe here; I think it was March when I first knew the plushie had been released somewhere in the nation. So I hoped for another end of July find here. ( Read more... )

I've gotta say, as much as I love the squee when Leia finally acknowledges she loves Han, I feel sad to think of all that wonderful banter ceasing. They have so many classic exchanges in the first two films. I was laughing and laughing when seeing those films again this past week. One of my favorite lines, when the Millennium Falcon just won't ( Read more... )

Been enjoying the first season Batman DVD set. I've been enjoying it so much, I'm not sure how I'll stand to wait for the next release in February. I'm wondering if sellers will start breaking up complete sets of the series and selling the seasons individually. I guess it's awful, but I'm kind of hoping for that.... I just couldn't afford the ( Read more... )

Went to Wal-Mart this past evening due to Dad not feeling well. He still wasn't, but we were so badly in need of stuff that we really couldn't postpone it another day. So he gave me some money and I bought the stuff while he waited and rested in the car (and in Wal-Mart, after it got too cold in the car ( Read more... )

Still doing the Once post-season 3A vignette series on 31_days. I did manage to get one done that was Thanksgiving-themed. And I have a plan for the next one. Not sure whether I'll write it tonight or save it for sometime this week, though ( Read more... )

I'm still torn between the two DVD sets.... My money will hopefully be available on Monday, and both sets will hopefully still be available then, too. I have established that our local Wal-Mart carries them. But Sailor Moon is selling so quickly that there might not be any by Monday. And I really wanted the Batman set first and wait to get the ( Read more... )

Finished the first draft of the fic! I'll re-read the whole thing before I post the epilogue, just to make sure I've tied up all loose ends. I include the proposed teaser at the end, with Dr. Portman and Scarecrow laughing about their plans for Gotham. I describe Scarecrow as having dark hair, as that's what I remember from the movie, but it looks ( Read more... )

Note the icon of my beloved, serious, Marilyn Manson Riddler from The Batman. When I talk about The Riddler, unless otherwise specified, this is the one I mean ( Read more... )

Halloween was so much fun. I ended up going to the Trunk or Treat my church always has, and it didn't last as long as I thought, so I was also able to answer the door. I saw more kids at the Trunk or Treat than at the door. But it was fun times. It was awesome to see a lot of costumed kids again, after seeing hardly any for years. And I really ( Read more... )

- Frank Gorshin would have made an awesome Joker with that laugh. But all Riddler fans have gotta love him, whether they enjoy the over-the-top portrayal or not; he made the previously minor character popular ( Read more... )
