Having problems publishing my blog. Not sure why, although its definitely at Blogger’s end, since my FTP program uses the same info, and it connects just fine. Bleh. Stupid blog.

So, got the beheaded doll mostly-probably fixed. I managed to get the knob out enough to temporarily wedge it back into her neck, and once there, it was simple enough to get her head off the prongs, so I could glue the seams of her neck shut without also gluing her head into one position. Or, at least, I think the seams of her neck are glues back together. Its hard to get them apart without the knob sitting exactly in the opening, holding them open, and I didn’t want to do that for fear of of it falling out and being lost. So mostly I just used a bamboo skewer to try and apply the glue between the seams, and then rubberbanded it all shut while it dried. There may also have been a lot of hoping involved.

Of course, now I’m at a loss as to what to do with the head. She’s actually kind of pretty, in my opinion, but her hair is trashed, and part of her upper lip has been rubbed off or…something. Normally I’d just consign her to a redesign, but like I said, I like her face aside from the lip, and — even bigger problem — she has rooted eyelashes. I’m convinced that if I try to reroot, I’ll accidentally pull out the eyelashes along with the rest of the hair, and I have NO IDEA HOW TO DO EYELASHES AAUUGGHHH. I may dig out my DVD to check, but I’m pretty sure they didn’t address that on there.

And if I don’t reroot…what? Sure, I can set it into a new style, but that’s gonna need a lot of brushing before anything else, and there comes a point where brushing ceases to help, and instead just means losing hair, and the increasing frizzing of whatever doesn’t come out in the brush. So. Yeah, back at “omgwhatabouttheeyelashes?!”

*sighs* Remind me why I do this shit, again?
