Awaiting Stuff

[roguederek]

► While my nerves aren't that bad now, I'm still feeling as "off" as I did yesterday. The "drained exhaustion" sensation is still lingering. Struggling to get any sleep hasn't helped matters. Hopefully I'll get some sleep tonight, since Dad's picking me up tomorrow.

► Baring any foolish splurges, I now have just four packages I'm awaiting:► Hawkwoman by Darryl Banks commission sketch. My friend John mailed it last Friday so I might get it by next Friday if I'm lucky.

► Custom door poster of Playboy Playmate Miss May 1979 Michele Drake. A friend had linked me to the custom poster auctions of a Hong Kong seller on Ebay last week, and after I found a massively high resolution copy of Michele Drake's centerfold [NSFW] online, I cropped it down to the same proportions as the poster size and requested it. I went with the 24" x 72" poster size so Michele should be roughly life size, which is awesome. The poster was mailed a week ago, but since it's coming from Hong Kong it's anyone's guess when I'll get it. For the record, considering the price and size of the poster, I'm not expecting it to be very good quality. If it's halfway decent I'll be happy.

► [NSFW] Talk Dirty to Me: Sasha Grey replacement CD from Adam & Eve. I just checked the website and it says that the CD (replacing the damaged one I received on Monday) shipped today.

► Batgirl by Leo drawing. While the seller ComiConArt hasn't listed the drawing as shipped they never did that for the drawings I had won/bought in the past so it has probably been mailed by now.
Of the four items, the Hawkwoman drawing should arrive by next Friday, neither the Sasha Grey CD nor the Batgirl drawing should be here for another two weeks, and the Michele Drake poster could be here as soon as next Friday, or take another month. No idea with stuff coming from Asia.

► Tested: The Comic-Con 2012 Cosplay Gallery - Female Commander Data - No word on whether she's "fully functional" or not.



► EW Inside TV: 'Family Guy': Ryan Reynolds to cameo as the original son of God -- EXCLUSIVE - Golly, I wonder if this is going to cause some controversy.

► People: Fred Willard Fired by PBS After Lewd-Conduct Arrest - It was in a porn theater, what do they expect to happen? Also, I didn't think porn theaters were still around so that's a bit of a surprise.

► 9gag: Ultimate dog! - A truly beautiful and amazing dog. As an aside, for some reason as much as I always feel proud and impressed by service dogs, I also always feel a little bit sad for them. I think it's the notion that they have so much responsibility and seemingly little to no time to "be a dog". But then I suppose it's not much different from working dogs.

► 9gag: The 24 Most Ridiculous Wikipedia Picture Captions - At least one obviously had the photo changed after the caption was written. As for the rest, I've been bewildered and confused by more than a few strange photo captions on Wikipedia.

► 9gag: Tug Toner is definitely better than Shakeweight - Oh, it's funny, but I still think Shake Weight is funnier.

► Cinema Blend: 21 Jump Street Sequel To Begin Shooting Later This Year - The movie was just in theatres 4 months ago and they're going to start filming the sequel in just a few months? I can't remember the last time a sequel was pumped out that fast. It's like 1940s studio system Hollywood!

► MTV Geek: Grand Moff Tarkin 'Star Wars' Bust Looks Incredibly Real! - This is so like like it's actually unsettling and creepy. I have to say, if I was going to get a bust of Peter Cushing I'd want one of him as either Victor Frankenstein of Van Helsing, but that's just me.

► Our Valued Customers: To his friend... - This is true. I'd also say the reverse is true too.
