Current Mood : Slightly image-nervous.
Got kinda
bored today, with the dishes done and floors swept, so Dearest Son and I hit
the local Mal-Wart, to get out of the house and walk around. Plus, I was
feeling a bit down about missing the San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) – like I’ll
ever get to go ! – and hearing all about the endless fun of the National Barbie
convention, so sitting around at home, no matter how nice and clean it is, was
just not enough.
Although I
did get a laugh from Kevin Smith’s tweets of the event. He posted a photo of an
endless line circled back on itself, reading ‘For those of you bummed about missing
Comic con this year, this is the line to get into Hall H at 6:30 this morning’.
Whew. Somehow that, and the Mattel booth selling out of exclusive dolls ten
minutes after opening, never makes it to the official ‘We had sooooooooo much
fun !’ posts.
Here’s the
second SDCC reveal, Target-exclusive PolterGhoul (Spectra) and WonderWolf
(Clawdeen). Sorry to rename them, but I honestly thought PolterGhoul was just
an upgraded ‘Ghost Girl’ Create A Monster, the first time I saw her.
Yesterday, it
was announced that last year’s runner-up Headless Headmistress Bloodgood will be
released – as a TRU exclusive – early next year. Some are flustered, thinking
she’ll be part of a $$$ school bundle, but I think she’s more likely to be
paired with her horse Nightmare instead. Besides, if there’s one thing I’ve
learned – no matter how exclusive anything is, it’ll end up on eBay sooner or
later. It’s up to each person who wants to decide what their limit is on what
they wanna pay for it. I kinda want the Cleo from the Target-exclusive Skull
Shores five-pack, but not enough to pay $50.+ for the set. She’ll show up on
eBay sooner or later. Maybe even when I have money !
For now, I
spent all I had on a power strip, a new pillow, and some lightbulbs. Oh, and a
bag of mixed fruit, I’ve missed having fresh fruit every day. Aldi’s has been
fruit-poor this summer. Now I’ve gotta break out the sewing machine – I need a
new pillowcase ! And I can finally scan the new pattern. All I have to do is
get off my butt…
Or out of the
pool. We’re goin’ floatin’ again tonight ! Wheee !
