Bits and bobs

Dear chin, why are you breaking out like crazy? Seriously, when I went to sleep there was one tiny issue and now it's like you're trying to kill me. Please relax.

I finally, finally got around to reading the first Star Darlings book. I'd meant to ages ago and then every time I went to buy it, I either had no money/it was out of stock/or I'd remember when I first tried to read it and got a huuuuuuuuuge migraine and I just kept putting it off. To be fair, I think that was during one of it's earliest incarnations and also it's not like I'm going to go back and try finding the exact version that caused me pain just to see if it was really the book or just a coincidence. Eventually I decided I'd wait for Paperbackswap to get it in and then go from there. Behold, PBS delivered on that front. Meanwhile, I keep getting requests that get cancelled just as I go to print out the wrapper. Wtf.

Definitely cute and I don't get how or why Disney dropped the ball in every other part of this franchise? This should have been a slam dunk for them and instead the webisodes are just bad filler (pretty though) and the dolls were just a non-starter, possibly due to how they priced/distributed them. The story is solid enough that if they'd just built on that they should have been fine. I don't get it.

I should hit the hay before work. Also before I murder the dog because she won't shut up. But oooh, Sephora Play box!
