What the shit, Hemet? The Walden Books in the mall is closing. That was one of the last places still worth visiting in that glorified hallway. Since they're going to be the only game in town soon, I hit up Cameron Books the other day. I was going to ask if they had any copies of The Little Prince in and before the words were out of my mouth I saw it right up front on the counter. I'll buy it up when I come back to order a Spanish language version, too. They couldn't order one for me at the time for some reason.
I picked up a copy of VMan, because I can't say no to glossies! No, I bought an issue last year because it had some cool, and wearable fashion crap inside that I wanted to try and draw so I could learn to do clothes better. I'd show you some of those drawings but I don't want to. And I can't find them.
Needless to say, this is a very gay magazine. Still, when I got home I was surprised to find this in it:
Golly!
But more importantly, I also found this in it.
This is the Blackbird Fly camera.
Holy damn, I must buy one of these cameras by the end of the year. I've come to terms with the fact that I will probably never have the privilege of owning a Diana. This is all for the best, I suppose. I don't care what happens to me between now and 2011. I really do want one of these cameras. And I was totally willing to settle for red until I saw this thing came in orange. Clearly, it was meant to be. I will be filling this LJ up with all kinds of images from my various travels/tales of derring-do. Hey! Let's start now!
Because two images just isn't enough for this entry, anyone know where I can buy film for this?
Sweet, figure skating was on last weekend. I told mom it was on and her shit came running into my room because I guess there was nothing on any of the Spanish channels. So I was treated to mom telling me how pretty all the boys were and what cute little bodies they have.
Oh, but the fun doesn't stop there! She went on to say that I should have been a figure skater. I'm not joking. She said I could have had a cute little body just like those boys did. But then she was all, "Oh, but I guess you wouldn't want to dress like that, would you?"
I said it was her fault for not starting me out young if she wanted me doing that. But when I told her I would have preferred speed skating over figure skating she rolls her eyes at me and says, "You don't know what you want."
What could have been, friends. I could have had a cute little body! And sequins, too, I guess.
Has anyone seen those Super Special Show ads for Del Taco? I fucking love those. Especially that part where the guy hops out of his transforming trash can costume. I giggle and clap every single time like the mentally defficient. I also really want one of those suits. I would be so totally ninja with that shit. Though I guess it would only work if I were at Del Taco at the time.
Whoa! The other day I saw a Star Trek doll. At first I thought it was like a special edition G.I. Joe or some shit except that it was pretty. Granted, Chris Pine is a very pretty man but it still didn't make sense to me. I took a closer look at it and saw it was a Ken doll "as Captain Kirk." and my shit just about died. I absolutely must have this doll because it is the greatest thing ever. I'd put it right next to my ginormous FFXII Balthier action figure and it would rock.
I don't know why Mattel making Star Trek Barbies is more of a mindfuck than when they made Rebelde dolls.
Which brings me to some kinda-sorta-Rebelde-related stuff.
Anahi's CD seems to be doing A-ok! I did not give a shit about this until they mentioned her single was co-written by Gil Cerezo, lead vocalist for Kinky (and also a very pretty man). He collaborated with her on most of the CD and that has gotten me interested enough to give it a chance.
Also! Christian Chavez's solo CD comes out (haw) soon, too. I guess one song is about him breaking up with his Canadian hubby whose name I can never remember because no one in Mexico knows how to pronounce it.
And while this isn't exactly new news, I feel I should mention it for Lor's sake. I thiiiiiink Dulce is currently dating Pedro Damian? I think she is, yeah. If that's true then that shit is kinda creepy to me.
To put it in terms you can understand, it would be like finding out John Hughes was schtupping Molly Ringwald.
So, hey, I got to hang out with my brother a little bit this past week and I have to say I've enjoyed it. This whole having a girlfriend situation is doing wonders for him.
No, really, Becky's cool. I went over there last Sunday and the three of us played Scrabble and Beatles Monopoly. How embarrassing, I finished third. I would have won if I could have spelled Zebu. Then we watched The Hangover and had a Zebu-riffic meal of pork chops, mashed taters and some kind of pasta that ends with a-roni.
On Friday we hung out again and mostly just played Playstation. We played Hockey and Baldur's Gate and tore shit up old school. It was a time. Also, Fred gave me some new pins for my collection. Score!
Oh! Speaking of pins, I finally got one of those giant I <3 Joe pins. The FYE in town is also closing so I paid a whole 24 cents for it. I also picked up Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Are a Drag for four bucks. Hell yes. I've hung the pin up on my wall in all its pinny glory. It's in a place of honor above my Watchmen and Nightmare Before Christmas pin sets. Actually, it's not really a place of honor so much as I don't have any other push pins.
How funny that I should need more pins so I can hang up my other pins.
¡Pásatelas super duuuper!
Check it out! It's a meat cookie!
Bore de force
