You know, playing Dress-Up is more tiring than it used to be...

I was in the middle of typing up some random fannish stuff last night when the daily lightning storm (it's not funny any more, God, so knock it the hell off) forced me to put that on hold 'til today. Or so I thought. Until I spent the day in the hands of the bridal-industrial complex, trying on bridesmaid gowns, that is. Not even evil magenta foofs, nice gowns, and I still feel like I've gone ten rounds with a giant squid. I want sleeeeep... I hate weddings with a blazing passion, but I love Dearest Friend J., and while I would wear an evil magenta foof for her, thankfully I won't have to. Um, maybe. Probably. Well, if I did, I'd do it with a smile and then get my revenge by giving her future children drums and kazoos and indelible markers and tubes of glitter for their birthdays. Mwa ha ha!

Other than that, the day was uneventful. And expensive. I bought Season 4 of Xena at last, and grinned at the happy fangirl waltzing in the aisles with her copy of La Femme Nikita Season 2. Aw. Also got some Tim Tams for roughly the cost of two kidneys and a lung. Maybe I should go into the cookie-importing business. Wasn't able to get any of the new series of Playmobil Specials yet, despite their supposed July arrival. Where are my nuns, people? I want my nuns!

Please, world, no lightning tomorrow. I need to thin the herd of "post about this" Post-Its before they unionize. It's the only way for me to remember anything for longer than five minutes, but right now the Treasure of the Sierra Madre could be buried on my desk and I'd never know it. Ah well. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...

We've had a lot of storms recently as well, so I feel your pain. I'll keep my fingers crossed for less rain and bearable bridesmaid dresses ;)

I still feel like I've gone ten rounds with a giant squid

Squid! *ahem* Sorry, there :)

Dude, Playmobil nuns. Though, that habit looks less like a habit and more like Darth Vader's helmet. Hee.

I have mucho love for your kraken icon. It's squidtastic! Hee! Really, though, I like the colors. And the drawing itself. Purty. *g*

No one has the Darth Vader nuns for me! It's terribly unfair. Looks like I'll have to break down and order them directly from Playmobil. I think six will be a good sized convent, assuming I can get them some sort of building. Maybe they'll end up living in the saloon...

Thanks! When I came across the pic, I just knew I had to iconize it. I'm really happy with how it turned out *hugs the kraken*

No one carries your nuns? Stupid stores. Perhaps you can build them a mini-convent out of Lego pieces. Barring that, the saloon would make a fine home :)

I so told you about those bridesmaids dresses, didn't I? Everybody thinks they're so harmless, and that it's okay to laugh at their overall hideous nature. But then they allllll get together in one location. And it's goodnight shopper, they've eaten your brain. I told you, too. Just remember that.

I will never doubt you again.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!

(Okay, but in this one case you were right.)

really wished I had DVR-ed Teen Titans for you this evening. It was something else. and it's not even repeated tomorrow, so I'll have to keep my eyes open. I think you'd like it. Except for the guy with a giant spider for a head. I don't think you'd like that very much.....

Re: btw....

Spider! For a head! And not a hat! Wrong like a wrong wrong thing.

Have I mentioned how cute your icon is? And how is it you figured out how to make icons in, like, a minute, and I've been on LJ for over a year now and still have no clue? Hmph. *g*
