the last week has been pretty exciting for me. substantial progress has been made on the doll sales i only really started Thursday. of all the stuff listed only three things have yet to be paid for, and two of them are being held. it's gone so well that i ordered and paid in full for the Adamelli twin girls that i'll be splitting with my friend Krista. the plans for the girls changed a few times, but Saturday when i showed her pictures she melted and decided to split off the unicorn one, which works fine for me since the one i really want is the human version (but with the tiny wings on her head). Krista wants ours to look like the display ones, but we're gonna make slight changes. we're ordering similar (but much cheaper) wigs and eyes. i'm actually gonna use the Cass eyes since the size is perfect, and i've picked a few different pupil-less designs for her to look at for hers, either in pastel shades, or glittery to go with mine. there's still time for her to decide and for us to order, so it's not something she'll have to rush or anything. xD i'll be doing their faceups, and the minor cosmetic modding to disguise the magnet-holes in the calf of the hoof-legs. since the wings will be part of my girl, it's only right that i hide the open wounds where they could attach to the legs. i'm very excited about the project though! so far as dressing them goes, their dimensions are almost identical to the Bory girl i still haven't sold, so i can use her to make some stuff while i wait for them. yay! xD

Saturday other strides were made in alternate hobby areas. about half the Warhammer group (the good half: me & Kyu, James, Alex & Krista, and Gami) are looking into starting to play Pathfinder as an alternative to Warhammer. not all the time, but to change things up sometimes since the same thing all the time gets boring. as of this last weekend, we've pretty much all picked our initial race and class and decided that Kyu will be our GM. we're a while from playing still, but it should be fun. depending on when we manage to start, (Blind!)Justin may also join us, but since he's moving back home this summer, we're not centering our plans around him. and complete tangent, but you haven't seen dedicated hobbying until you've watched a blind guy table someone at a visually-based miniatures strategy game. xD

Sunday was Justin's celebratory "hooray i finally graduated college!" dinner at Chili's and there was a pretty huge crowd there, it was fun. while there was guy-on-guy flirting, good natured teasing about molesting the blind guy (and how he'd never see it coming), things being lit on fire, and condiments being dumped on the table to doodle in, none of it was Kyu's doing! i was a little amazed. xD granted none of those are habits or set-in-stone behaviors, but he's done each of them at some point in the past. admittedly, his condiment, toothpick & cherry tomato art installation piece was a few years ago at Wendy's and entirely on the disposable paper tray liner. less obnoxious to clean up after for sure than directly on a table.

sometime this week i hope to (finally) see Thor. i'm looking forward to it, and everyone ever has said it's good. this means there's a 45% chance i'll be in that minority that absolutely loathes it (like Dark Knight- i'm the token hater in pretty much any group talking about Heath Ledger's Joker) but i think i should be okay with this one since i don't have any rabid Thor fanaticism to color my opinion of it. xD yay doll stuff and nerdy comic book movies!
