stuff and things

song+ Everything Is Awesome! -the Lego Movie
book+ nothing
quest+ things and stuff
upper+ feeling happyish
downer+ losing lots of time
attire+ black pants and my batgirl tee
drink+ pineapple soda


so this week hasn't amounted to much productivity wise. really i kept spacing and losing huge chunks of time all at once. in theory i'm still working on the same projects, but really i've been glued to my computer wishing i could afford the egregiously expensive EAH SDCC exclusive doll, Cerise Wolf. she's GORGEOUS, but i don't have 120+shipping, which was the best price i saw on ebay for her. urgh. so much want though.

i could sing this song for hours!

song+ Everything Is Awesome! -the Lego Movie
book+ nothing
quest+ painting my collected Warhammer junk
upper+ great dolly week!
downer+ it rained so much i made no progress painting
attire+ black pants and a blue and red polo tee
drink+ pineapple soda


the money i brought in between my Lone Star transaction and the sale to HPB bought me another 10 MH/EAH dolls and several outfits. i'm pleased. they take up way less space than the stuff i sold, and i'm really enjoying myself playing with them.

today is a doll meet i'm actually attending, but when i get home i'll see what i can manage so far as decent photographs of my growing collection. the last of them arrived about an hour ago so i need to shuffle things a bit for a better overall fit. so for now this is is, post to come later with collection pictures.

next day edit: pictures!

i've got troubled thoughts and the self-esteem to match

song+ What A Catch, Donnie -Fall Out Boy -Infinity On High
book+ nothing
quest+ clearing out my collected Warhammer junk
upper+ i've got most of it assembled
downer+ very little is painted
attire+ tights, jean shorts, and a black shirt
drink+ water


the box of books made it to Half-Price Books on Tuesday, thanks to mom. my comics made it to Lone Star on Thursday and my payment should be ready Monday at some point.

i spent a good chunk of my day yesterday going through my huge bucket of cast aside Warhammer pieces and assembling them. i ran out of table space before i could finish so the next step is to get my smaller collection (the Dark Elves) painted so i can put them away and finish assembling the larger collection (my Tomb Kings). fully assembled i'll know what i actually have so i can tell a friend and he can list it for sale. painted i'll get more for it. so assembling and painting are my to-do list for the foreseeable future.

i did manage to make it back up to Wild West to take pictures of the plush i made for Kim (since it was still there and i completely forgot to last week) so here's mugshots of her Bulbasaur. she's happy with it, so i am too. but yeah, this is what i did last Sunday. today's just a journal and music day.

it's not the hand you've got but how you play it

song+ Password -Kylie Minogue -Light Years
book+ nothing
quest+ finishing more half-done projects
upper+ had a great holiday weekend
downer+ slight allergic reaction
attire+ black tights, khaki shorts, and a teal/brown sheer blouse over a black tank
drink+ water


the fourth was great, Kyu got to do the cookout that fell apart last year, he really likes cooking for people but doesn't get many chances really. the day after was the quilt class, at which i did kinda ingest some kind of nut, but thanks to a drink to flush it out and plenty of sleep last night i feel mostly fine today. i'm a little achey, but nowhere near incapacitated by violent sickness which is my standard reaction to most nuts. the worst thing yesterday in the think of it was cottonmouth and all-over itchiness, so i'm gonna guess it was walnut, which is my mildest nut allergy.

anyhow, today being Sunday, we're about to head up to Wild West for game day. i've packed the stuff to (hopefully) get a pokemon plush finished for an employee that's leaving later this month.her last day is the 25th, but since i'm working on clearing out incomplete projects anyway it really makes sense to push this one to the head of the queue.

i did get all the single issue comics i spent days organizing listed for sale, and i gathered another box that'll head to Half-Price Books in the next week or so. it feels good actually making so much visible progress through the goals i've set for myself, mostly because so many of my recent goals have been intangible things. mostly related to mental/emotional recovery. talking to strangers, maintaining eye contact, getting out of bed and going to sleep on a regular schedule. those aren't things i can slap a gold star on for other people to see and congratulate my progress, you know? xD
