Yay for Nice Days
May. 17th, 2008 11:15 pm74 F today here, people! And they said it was going to be rainy and miserable half the day!
-VD: It's about time!-
Yeah, I know. Though tomorrow it's supposed to get rainy again. :( More motivation for me to vacuum, I suppose.
Got outside twice today -- walked up to the local CVS to pick up lunch (they have a Subway inside, you see), then up to our local minimall to hit the Toy Vault. I stopped by Waldenbooks first to see if there was anything I wanted there -- got myself a new Dilbert collection.
-VD2: Should you really be getting new books when you have old ones you have yet to finish?-
I know, I know, my poor neglected Discworld! My problem is I mainly want to read about Rincewind at the moment. Damn you, Pratchett, for making me like him so much. (Does he show up in "Equal Rites" at all? Might help me get back to reading.)
Anyway, after that, it was over to the Toy Vault -- and guess what? They had the latest set of Minimates! I planned to buy them from BTTF.com, but the lure of being able to play with them right away was too much to resist. So home they came with me. :D Besides, I can always cave and buy a flux capacitor from Stephen.
-TD: Surprised you haven't caved yet.-
It's 200+ dollars, and I'm still not sure if it lights up the correct color. *anal*
-TD: Fair enough there, I suppose. How are the minimates?-
Great! Eastwood-Marty's head was turned all the way around in the package, which puzzled me -- when I got him out, I found out that the head wasn't on! Oddly amusing.
-Martys: *rub necks worriedly*-
LoL, no worries -- the heads are supposed to pop off. He's all fixed up. And, of course, I have picspam:
( The Power of Minimates )
-OD: You really love those things, don't you?-
-DW: She's still got that "Irregular Future" comic idea.-
Yeah, just gotta learn how to manipulate the photos and such.
I also took my pin collection off my old, doesn't-fit-me-anymore striped hat and put it on my new Panama Jack hat and keys laynard:
( MORE Picspam )
Whew. All that picspam tired me out. Still, gotta see about writing. "From the Ashes Reborn" actually needs a bit of bulking up.
-HD: Does it?-
Yeah, I'm actually adding a chapter, so. . . . First, I'll go downstairs and see if Wolverine is there. Damn it. . . .
