Head hurts a very lot. I am considering taking one of the monster-sized Motrin and laying down, even though I am not tired and had hoped to do things today. Nothing major, really, just Borders and then maybe swing by Panera on the way home, but my head is very much not happy, and I’m just sitting here in the quiet. Actual activities with light and noise will only incur further wrath.

Samantha’s Dolls sent me an email with a code for a special sale, and I made the mistake of going to see if the Tonner Supergirl would be eligible, and she is, and wah. Wah, because it would be the best price for her ever, but I have not money, and I cannot ask for her to be purchased and kept for Christmas, as we have decided to do one big joint house gift this year. I will not check and see if Vasilisa would be eligible, because if she was, I would probably cry, and my head really couldn’t take that right now.

I think perhaps I will take the monster-Motrin and lay down, after all. If I wake at a good time and feel up to going out, then fine. If I don’t, then we can just do it some other day.

Do I annoy anyone else when I’m reasonable? No? Just me, then? Awesome.

So, um. New look. It, um. It probably only looks good on Dean. But y’know, three years, dQ needed a change, and it’ll probably only last until Michi’s new album comes out. Probably.

Also? Its my house, and I can. Neener.

I nearly cracked my head open four times just trying to get dry after my shower. Either I’ve somehow gotten stuck in one of the Final Destination movies, or god’s trying to tell me that this is not a good day for me to do anything.

Now that I think about it, the two are not mutually exclusive.

So, taking a hint, I am going to sit here and enjoy a soda and a couple cookies, and oogle awsumgal’s blog. Its always nice to find a new (talented!) repaint artist, even if they do choose a moniker that makes my soul cry.

YOU GUUUUUUUUUUUUUYS. Youguysyouguysyouguys! Tonner’s doing Hawkwoman. LOOK AT HER WINGS, Y’ALL. So. Awesome.

The outfit’s totally unfortunate, but its also totally accurate. Shayera needs a make-over like, twenty years ago. Put in a call in to Supergirl’s people, hon, they can hook a superheroine up.

And her face! It…um…kind of looks like Carrie Fisher, actually. Not in a bad way, but c’mon, imagine her with brown hair and a white outfit, and doesn’t she totally remind you of Medal Ceremony Leia? SHE DOES, YOU KNOW SHE DOES. Which is cool, ’cause that’s my favorite Leia. Totally makes up for the wonk-eye the prototype’s sporting.

Really, the only downside is her lack of weapon, but Tonner skips those a lot of the time, and dude, I’m pretty sure she wields a mace. Of the hammerly, I-will-bludgeon-you-into-next-week variety, not the chain-with-a-handle-and-spiky-ball variety. I could MAKE that shit. I…I do not need my Tonner wishlist to be growing. Sideshow is enough of a problem. Just…go do a line I’m not interested in for a while, would you? Fuckers.

So apparently not only is our local T.G.I.Friday’s not equipped to accept the company’s “Give Me More Stripes” cards, but their receipts don’t even print with the required information for you to go online and get your points that way. I’m so glad I signed up now. *twitch*

I need to wash my hair. But I’m having a tired-and-blue day, so guess what’s not getting done.

….I have a whole list of things that aren’t getting done, actually.

Saw a picture of Dakota Fanning as Jane for…whichever Twi-movie it is that has the Volturi. Volturri? Vol–look, I don’t know, okay, the books aren’t good enough for me to care about the crazy defacto vamp leader sect. All I know is she’s playing the scary girl who can hurt people with her mind, and that is a really really good thing that I don’t have that power, because there would be a whole lot of hurt in the world. Also, she seems to be growing out of the creepy cartoon girl look pretty well. And I’m sure she’ll do a fine job, because the Fannings can Act (which will probably make her stick out like a sore thumb, but whatever, like anyone’s watching that shit for the acting), but um…wasn’t Jane supposed to be like, 9? Or is Stephenie Meyer so bad that she somehow gives the impression of characters being younger than they are? And I wouldn’t even care, except Bella’s creeped out by Jane from first sight. I remember that much. And if Jane’s suddenly 15, then…how exactly is gothy sophomore — which, I’m sorry, is totally how the promo image feels — going to be creepy to a girl who’s in love with the stalkery undead and best buddies with the newly furry?

The worst part is, my pondering makes it sound like I’m a fan or something. Not so much. I don’t hate it, but then I only read the first two books. And Cleo’s recaps, which are both hysterical and horrifying.

Actually, y’know what, I’m wrong, The worst part is that I know that unless Tonner completely fucks him up, when they finally do Jacob, I’m gonna be wanting that like cake. Red velvet cake with chocolate ice cream and strawberries, even.

Christian Kane. And Noa Tishby. Fighting. In undershirts. Wet. UNF.

Oh, my god, I love Leverage. *slides out of chair onto floor* More, please.

Just how much stupid is required to ask about the nature and state of an item the day after winning it on eBay? I’d calculate it myself, but it broke my stupid-meter.

My Tonner arrived yesterday! Yay! She’s Wardrobe Susan, from the Narnia movies. She’s prettier than she looks in the official site pictures, I swear. I also got her nude, because…ew, that outfit. And because it was like, half the price. And because the outfit that I really want for her is actually from Prince Caspian, not The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and, um. Tonner doesn’t make anything from the second movie. I don’t know, man, I don’t work there, I don’t know why they do anything. Or don’t do as the case may be.

So, yeah, I will be making her clothes eventually, but until then she is staying in her box, because She is Naked and There are Boys Here. I don’t know what the hell I’m gonna do for shoes, Tonner shoes for 17″ femmes are nearly all high-heeled, and nobody seems to want to sell shoes for the males, who would at least be flat-footed. I had at one time thought maybe I could wrangle her into some 1:6 scale boots, because I got it into my head that she was only 14″ tall. Yeah, no. Lucy is 14″ tall. Susan is 17″. *headdesk*

This also puts a crimp in my plans to get that 1:6 gift set of Susan’s weapons. I took a pic of her holding Kokoum’s crappy Disney bow just to demonstrate:

Yeah. I think the “You have got to be kidding me” eye-roll she seems to be doing sums it up nicely.

As of yesterday afternoon, my package had been processed through a sort facility in NJ. It could actually arrive today. I hope it does. I want to seeeeeeeeee her. There were pictures with the listing, but I want to see her in person. Dammit.

Rumor has it Joanna Krupa has been paired with Derek for Dancing. Mreh. Don’t get me wrong, Derek’s not bad or anything, but…Tony! Tony is awesome and a really good teacher now that he’s a dad and has relaxed his sphincter. Also, I just don’t like Derek’s head. DO NOT RUIN JOANNA FOR ME, BOY, I WILL CUT YOU.

And hey, if one of these years we could get Adrianne Curry on, I will take her dancing with anyone. Even Corky. And I hate Corky.

There is the possibility that I will be getting a new phone today. I was going to transcribe my saved messages into private LJ entries so that I don’t lose them because sometimes I really need to be reminded someone cares and they mean a lot to me and I don’t want to lose them, but I did one and my brain was all, “I can’t do this today. It will turn me to pudding. Do something else. ANYTHING ELSE.” So…I guess if I get the phone today, I’ll just wait a day or two to activate it? I dunno. Its 7:40 in the morning, and I’m in the basement with no pants on, and I’m warm. This is not conductive to thinking, and does not bode well for today’s weather.

Also, I think my headache is coming back. Fucker.

I like this a very lot. Someone should get it for me. No one will, but someone totally should. ¬_¬

I’m trying to come up with a new WoW character to try out the inscription profession with. It would probably make more sense to just switch the profession of someone I’ve already established, but I’ve been futzing on the bestest’s realm lately, and I just feel like staying there for now, which leaves me with my Undead Rogue, or my Human Paladin, but they’re both working with the professions I think are best for their class, so. I’m half tempted to do a Tauren shaman, but I’ll be honest, I already have one Tauren on another realm that I almost never play because they run so fucking slowly that I want to peel the skin from my face just to make the time go faster. But — Shaman! I totally love the Draenei shaman I have! And okay, I had an orc shaman once that I just couldn’t get into, but I think that was more of an orc thing, and also the fact that I mildly hate their start zone. So…I think I’ll try it. I’ll play till level 5 or something, and see how I feel, and either keep her or delete her and try something else.

Got nothing else to do this morning, anyway.

So! My Tonner has shipped. I am way too excited about her impending arrival and seeing her in person. Part of me is all, “You have paid for her and she is shipped! She is yours! Surely her identity can be revealed, now!” And then the paranoid part of me just howls back, “She is not ours until she is our hands! Her name must not be spoken!”

I, um. I’m kind of siding with my paranoid parts. *shifty, nervous eyes* For the most part I’m really not superstitious, but once I decide on a doll to get, I just go totally psycho and vague. Its like that Chinese thing where you pretend the baby’s ugly and give boy babies girl nicknames so that the assholes of the spirit world don’t get interested and fuck things up for you. Only, y’know. High-end dolls instead of babies.

Oh, shut up, its cheaper and cleaner and you have the option of selling it later. Collecting dolls > having kids. Lamer, but greater.
