A Winnar Is Me
Dec. 10th, 2009 10:38 pmI decided to go ahead and bid on that Victor doll I mentioned earlier -- the damn things are so rare, it's best to take the opportunity to get them when you can. (Though it still bugs me the manufacturer would sell the toy with a bit of the metal skeleton exposed. Seriously, there was no way around that?) Anyway, I turned out to be the only bidder, so he's mine, all mine -- him and his puzzle Scraps! :D Just have to pay for him, and he'll be on his way.
-TTV: *looks dubious about all this*-
What? You should be happy I'm buying more merchandise from your canon.
-TTV: Yes, but those toys rather -- creep me out. The little McFarlane ones are bad enough -- how big is this?-
15 inches. And, uh, Jun Planning's apparently really good at getting movie-accurate.
-TTV: Good Lord.-
It's not like the toys are going to eat you in your sleep, you know.
-TTV: Say that when you have your own action figure with a perfect representation of your face.-
-VD: In more mundane matters, where on earth are you going to put it? You're the one who said she has no more self space.-
I'll find room. Maybe he can live on the hat with Johannes, Diego, Ice-Bat, Batkinz, and The Pink Thing.
Yes, I'm fully aware that sounded mildly insane.
-VD2: Everything about you is mildly insane. Why should this be any different?-
Why pot, you're looking quite black today!
-VD2: Oh hush.-
:p Anyway, not much else happening -- cold's slowly getting better. Almost done with another workweek, planning on seeing what I can do about Mom and Dad's Christmas presents this weekend. Our tree will also be going up -- Mom's making a cardboard one this year, and spray-painting it.
-TD: Have you ever had a normal tree?-
-D: Great Scott, it's been years since we had genuine once-living greenery in this house.-
*chuckles* Yeah, not since our first, maybe second Christmas here. We're rather nontraditional in that respect. I'll probably also have an Inkwell post where they decorate the place for Christmas, just to get everybody out and about. (Still waiting for replies for the Nexus Advent -- I swear, the event's cursed.)
-OD: How's the writing coming along?-
Eh -- "Solicitor's Ward" is doing fine on paper. Just finished the altered wedding rehearsal, so we'll be moving onto Wonderland soon. The Tale's Christmas Special is doing fine too. But I'm a little stuck in "The Tale" itself.
-DW: What's the matter? I thought you knew what was going to happen next.-
I do -- Doc shows up Forrester with another invention, and we proceed from there. Problem is, I can't come up with what the next invention should BE. I covered some of the others back when we first met Doc, and I don't want to repeat myself. And the invention has to be portable, as he's been working on these things when they make camp at night.
Aaand I just had an idea -- figures, huh?
-RPD: I guess you just needed to talk out the problem. Helps us sometimes.-
Yeah, maybe. . . *goes to make notes in the document*
