Behold, FedEx is speedy with their delivery and thus Felicity and the chocolate glasses arrived yesterday. :D
These are not the best of photos. They were mostly taken for someone who is checking her email on a phone so... yeah.
( Meet Felicity )

Maybe in the future you're gonna come back

( hey, slow it down )
The Last Unicorn may have followed me home when I was out this afternoon. *whistles innocently*
For whatever reason, I actually love the hell out of this song. Go figure. Usually I don't give much of a damn about any given A.I. winner/runner-up, but hey. There are exceptions, usually on a song-by-song basis.
Rude. I had no intention of watching Parenthood until Lauren Graham joined the cast. Then I find out that Mae Whitman will be her daughter on the show and dude, I'm sold right there. Because what I needed was another TV show. :P

I have survived another Thursday at work. I hate Thursdays when it's truck and cigs. It's just too much. This should be the last week of that setup for awhile. Next week will apparently be cigs, early breaks, and truck unloading. Bother. BOTHER.
Ah well. Ticked off to hear that apparently at least some jackass at work believes the overnight shift does nothing. That really did hurt my feelings and make me want to kick someone in the goddamned kneecaps. Reason prevailed and pointed out that if big boss-man doesn't agree, that's pretty much all that matters. So. Breathe again, self. Breathe.
A whole ton of new AG stuff was released. 21 "new" or revised dolls. Not a single red or orangish red in the bunch. Fuck your strawberry blonde. I wants red that a toddler can point to and say, "Red!" Not a red that would make said toddler cry because why would you ask a question to which there was no answer? Who would do that crap?
Anyway. I love at least the idea of a couple of them, but I'm all full up on crazy at the moment, so I can eye clothes and shtuff. Of which much of the new stuffs does nothing for me. Yay?
Random things that annoy me:
- White women telling everyone else on the planet that they're being racially insensitive. This doesn't bother me all the time, but pretty much anytime lately I see it online, I want to smack someone even if I do agree with everything else they might say/how they said it. [Which is to say, I agree with everything but the fact that their paler than moi face is staring at me from their av/icon/sig/whatever.] It brings the rage and I don't know why other than... it does.
- I lied. I know exactly why it bothers me. Because in person, I can actually hear the logic and not just hear this patronizing voice in my head basically trying to spell things out in words of the largest size they can possibly think of and still not be called on trying too damn hard, all while telling someone else that their actions are wrong/perceived as being wrong, and will always be wrong. Even if this doesn't happen to be the case. Which happens a fair bit, actually.
- People who waltz around saying things like, "OMG! I totally knew this... but couldn't tell you guys cuz..." Because then some other jackass will come in and say they totally knew, too and at the end of the day it's just annoying as fuck.
Now. We return to things that make me happy.
( toys. )
Hmm. I have nails. Alert the media!

Oct. 7th, 2008 06:33 amThis is not my week and it's only, barely, Tuesday. I get back into AG and what do they do? "Archive" Sam and Nellie. So. Hmm. I'm torn. I could, in theory I suppose, return Ruthie and snag a Nellie or Sam's stuff if they'd let me.
Or I can just hope that my itty bit of OT this week will allow me to snag anything I want.
Or suck it up and move on.
OR beg shamelessly for mismas presents from people.
I need to go see if Widge is awake.

So. I waffle on my AG love depending on that time of year, the position of the moon and stars, and how often they randomly send me a catalog. Whenever Mattel took over, they decided to stop sending them at regular intervals, and I can't say I blame them as I'll go years without buying anything, and the only time I ever went slightly crazy in terms of buying was when I bought my Girl of Today, her bed, and assorted outfits, and even that had problems. This is not the time for that story, however.
Anyway, when Cass presented her roadtrip idea, I was all set to tell her the same thing I always tell them. "No." Particularly with her leading with her Cabbage Patch idea. But then she said Atlanta [I was still saying no] and the AG store. To which I had to reconsider. Realistically, I have very little desire to return to NYC to hit their store, and Chicago will forever be tainted by that news story I read about the family who went to the store only to come home on the wrong train and it was this horribly gruesome account of the aftermath, and yet all I could think was, "Dude, what a way to ruin your kid's trip to the AG store. That place must be jinxed." And I've no desire to hit the LA store. Just... no.
Obviously, I went on the trip. This... is that story. Muhahaha!
( Not Dial-up Friendly, even though I am dialup. Whee! )
That's just the AG section. Other pictures to come as I get less twitchy.
