song+ Just Dance- Lady GaGa- the Fame
book+ Wonder Woman trades
scent+ mdog fur and dust
quest+ cleaning up and packing
upper+ we have the new apartment reserved for us!
downer+ we have to get all our stuff packed up soon. i hate packing
attire+ semi-respectable jeans and a tee
drink+ water.
okay, so most of you (probably?) know when kyu and i moved where we live now (last October) we'd hoped for a 2 bedroom but there weren't any available. we took a one bedroom and an empty promise we had first dibs on any openings for an upgrade at the one year point. it hasn't been a year yet, but we have a new manager, and a lot of people have moved out. last weekend we went to see the new manager to see what it'd take to upgrade. he told us that there's plenty of empty 2 bedrooms now, what people really want are the one-bedrooms. he offered to let us upgrade and waive all the fees and such that should go with it since we've been awesome residents while we've been here. he just didn't know which units specifically were available. xD to be fair, he was dealing with gas leaks and the whole complex losing their hot water..
today we went and talked to him again. he gave us the key to a recently-vacated apartment and asked us to look through and see if we liked it. we do! he said he'd have all the between-tenant maintenance stuff done this week and we can aim for moving in by Sept 1st. that gives us 2 weeks to pack all our stuff (and probably get rid of some of it) and clean the current place top-to-bottom, and get everything moved in, unpacked and finished. xD we started the cleaning here last night (because kyu's fried Nate is visiting this weekend) so keeping it going shouldn't be too hard. Tusday i'm gonna try to bring boxes home from work so we can get to packing. i'm taking charge this time, so it should go MUCH smoother. everything will be neatly packed and every box WILL be labelled with what's inside it and what room it goes into. this time no pushy (but well-meaning) neighbors are going to tell me what would work better, no one will overrule my directions by deciding the priority is swiftness over organization. last time we ended up with everything shoved in the living room with no room to maneuver, then our volunteers went home since everything was moved. >_> it's MY home, so my word will be law. i want to move all the boxes first, putting them in the closets of the room they belong in. then people will be asked to help with the big stuff. the upstairs rooms first so we don't have to lug things past already-placed furniture.
i'm actually excited about this now that it's real. xD we've been officially noted as the new residents of apt 255. next weekend we'll fill out the paperwork and possibly start moving the first packed boxes. Sept 1st is our goal date, but i'd like to have it DONE by Aug 29th so i have the 30th to relax and settle all-the-way in.

bring your goat-boy to work day!
song+ Everyday- HSM2
book+ JSA trades vol 1-4
scent+ melty ice cream
quest+ buying Soom Vesuvia
upper+ i rembered i had ice cream in the freezer!
downer+ Vesuvia costs an arm and a leg X.x
attire+ pajamas
drink+ milk
so as my oh-so-clever title suggests, i took Nicolai in to work today to show him off. he was in his goaty bits since a) they're awesome, and b) i have no shoes for his human feet. xD i have pictiures! not a ton, but enough to show how i did him up. also, photobucket is being spazzy. if the pictures are sideways, just tilt your head 45 degrees? xD
before having the hooves attached this morning, he was snuggling his big sister. even with the flash dimmed, you can see he's WHITE! he makes super pale (but normal skinned for a DoD) Annie look almost tan. xD
when i got to work, i took a pic of the whole ensemble. the magnet came out of one horn during my walk, so that horn is just kinda perched on top of his head. xD i blended the blushing better than it looks like in this pic too, it looks so dark under the knee due to a bad angle on my part. i was being rushed..
..not so rushed i couldn't do a jazz-hands Fosse! type pose though. xD his glittery hooves make me think of a goat doing tap-dance on Broadway. you can see here that it does blend from calf to knee to thigh though.
i also took a snap of how i painted up the wings: the "evil" left side white with white glitter (which did NOT play nicely with the flash) and the "good" right hand side black with black glitter. the wings are for Momo, but she hasn't shipped yet, so Nicolai is borrowing them until she does.
the last pic was from lunchtime. trying to drink my soda at Subway. xD just too too cute!
i didn't really feel like he was home until this morning when i woke up and saw his option parts all done up and completed. now that the things he'll almost never use look totally awesome, it seems like he's finally really here. xD

no pics yet BUT..
Nicolai's goaty parts have been re-blushed and painted. xD
i am much happer this time. his hooves and horns and wings are GLITTERY! xD it looks like a broadway costume designer was sick all over, spewing glitter everywhere. it's black glitter though, so it's not too femmy for a boy doll. xD i plan to use this same glitter for Cuprit's horns, so it's good i figured it out now with the smaller pieces.
i'll take pictures tomorrow when the glue has (hopefully correctly) dried on the magnet-y bits. i'm letting it sit overnight this time. hopefully it'll play nice. xD

the cuteness! it's overpowering! xD
song+ Benny & the Jets- Elton John
book+ the Pokemon Platinum strategy guide xD
scent+ paint and sealant
quest+ buying Soom Vesuvia
upper+ my Gosty baby is home!
downer+ Vesuvia costs an arm and a leg X.x
attire+ going-on-a-date clothes xD
drink+ milk
i spent about 10 minutes of my box opening spazzing and snuggling and going "ooooooh! cuuuuuuuuute!". xD also, the SOOM cream white is WHITE! xD it's way paler than i was expecting! i feel bad for poor Nicolai, he looks like a ghost next to Annie- and she's a vampire xD
now he's sitting about in his human bits enjoying his reunion with his sister. it's been a long time coming. he'll only be a goaty boy when the mood strikes him.. after i manage to get his magnets to stay glued in.. -_- i'm apparently a remedial magnet-gluer. *sigh* the outfit is really lovely, both of them are, but i'll have to make him some decently masculine clothes before too long. xD a skirt and bloomers isn't his look of choice, even with a spiffy cape.
from playing with him today i've gotta say, he's a bit top-heavy with the human legs on, but he stands very solidly. i can't get him to sit up or do any interesting poses (with either set of legs!) like other people seem to be managing though. xD i figure i'll get better as i play with him more.
i need to order a better wig and some eyes for him. the ones i have are just a smidgen too big, so he looks a little shocked and his hair slides around on his head. xD it can wait a few weeks though, there are more immediate bills i need to pay off in the next 2 weeks. when i do order him some hair and eyes, i think i'll get him some shoes too. the hooves theoretically bypass that, but he's only a recreational hoofy, so shoes will be needed before long.
but yeah, i'm totally thrilled to have my little boy home, and it makes me even more excited about the other SOOM MDs i have on the way (eventually) they're so much fun to play with! i love my little frowny boy! xD
box!
with two boxes inside!
Glati (Nicolai) i'm keeping him.
Glot - i'm selling her and her parts, but keeping the outfit. <3
Nicolai with eyes, hair and a faceup (in an enormously oversized MSD tee shirt tucked into the bloomers)
and in his fullset getup until i can make him clothes that fit and work for everyday wear. xD
there aren't any hoofy pics because i need to re-paint them (they chipped and smudged while i was fighting the magnets) and try to conquer the magnets once again.. i bought better supplies while i was out today, so hopefully attempt #2 will go much better.
