Second dose of the COVID vaccine was obtained today. Nearly eight hours later my arm is sore at the injection site, I'm a little achy, my throat's a little scratchy, my nose is a little stuffy, and my eyes hurt like they're tired. At this point work tomorrow is debatable.

Got my tax refund and my third stimulus deposits at around the same time, allowing me to pay off my car five months early. Then I decided to treat myself to an early birthday present and bought a Nintendo Switch Lite :)

And finally, I have come to the conclusion that Launchpad is the Nostradamus "Bull" Shannon of the Ducktales reboot universe.

I think it's safe to say that, after tonight's episode, we have witnessed the slaughtering of the Old Guard.

In light of LJ's latest assfuckery, I've decided to dust off this old account (not that I used either of them very much in the last few years, but I digress). Haven't decided yet whether I'll just let my LJ account sit and not crosspost/update it anymore, or if I'll delete it. My LJ RP accounts I'll probably just let go when the next purge comes around; the ones I really want to save have already been imported over to Dreamwidth anyway.

So, I'm back. In case, you know, anyone wants to say hi.

No, no it makes perfect sense. The Cubs are winning, therefore they have to send in Marmol - who's not even the closing pitcher anymore! - to fuck it all up.


EDIT: Holy shit, they actually won despite Marmol.

As if I didn't have enough things that all require my money this month, my brain has now decided that I need to upgrade my current iPod nano to the new iPod nano. As if my new iPhone wasn't enough. Thank you, brain.

Maybe I'll put it on my Christmas list for this year...

My BJD family has grown quite a bit since I last posted about them. I got my dark tan Bei and my light tan Isabella. And recently I've fallen in love with Fairyland Dolls; I've already added two Pukifees and one Littlefee to my group.

Here are the hoodlums in question:



The one kneeling beside the suitcase is my Littlefee Ante, Poppy. The smaller one looking at the camera is my Pukifee Zoe Peony. And the one headfirst in the suitcase is Daisy, my Pukifee Flora. Next time I'll post a picture where you can actually see her face instead of her feet.

So, I've been trying to read fic on FF.Net this afternoon but every time I click on a story I get "This is a fraudulent website" notices from my Norton Anti-Virus; doesn't matter what fandom or what story I click on. Is anyone else having this problem?

In other news, I'm fairly certain that the auction house ripped off my grandfather. Now that one of my cousins is renting his house from my uncle, a lot of Grandpa's stuff was put up for auction; there wasn't enough for an individual auction, so Grandpa's stuff was put in with another person's estate. For years there's been an Oriental rug rolled up under Mom and Dad's bed; since there's absolutely no chance of that rug being used Mom decided to put it in with Grandpa's things for the auction and take out whatever profit the rug made from the money Grandpa's stuff made.

The auction was last weekend, and let's just say that Grandpa didn't make as much as Mom hoped. We got the check today and Mom's profit from the rug makes up a good portion of the total money made from the auction. Needless to say Mom's pretty upset, because the money from the auction was supposed to go toward Grandpa's care in the nursing home.

And how convenient it is that my uncle and his family have been on vacation in California for the past week, and so missed the auction. I can't help but wonder if Grandpa might have gotten more money from the auction house if my uncle had been in town.

Hello, my name is Kim and I'm a BJD addict.

(Hi, Kim.)

Seriously, I had no idea how addicting this hobby could be when I first started out on it. I started out back in February with a BBB Isabella. Now I'm up to six dolls with a seventh on the way. Last month I special ordered a dark tan Resinsoul Bei from the Bobobie website (I'm planning on doing her up as Rue from The Hunger Games), and earlier this week I received the BBB March that I had ordered through Denver Doll Emporium.

And now I'm considering putting another doll on layaway through DDE, another Isabella in light tan.

So while I'm working that little conundrum out, have some more spam of my girls. First up a picture of Viola (formerly Rue). She's definitely the sophisticated older sister of my group.

Next up, Posy.

Prim:

And last but not least here's the newest member of my group: Lily, a BBB March.

And here's a group photo of all of my girls. From left to right - Lily, Alba, Posy (and dolly), Prim and Viola.

On a related note, it's funny to have the camera ask if anyone blinked after taking a picture of one of the girls.

I had no idea that Storage Wars could be so addicting. Damn you, A&E... Must be because of my love for antique stores and flea markets.

"1985's calling, and it wants it's couch back." *snerk*

Speaking of flea markets, the Pec thing is in a week, and I've managed to get the day off of work so Mom and I can go. Can't wait.

And for a little change of pace, how about some BJD mini-spam? Allow me to introduce the newest member of my little family.



This is Posy, my Resinsoul Yu. I've had her for about a couple weeks, but refrained from posting any pictures for her because I had absolutely no clothes for her. I bought a couple Barbie Kelly outfits off of eBay but they were way too small. All I had were some extra Moondreamers and Strawberry Shortcake dresses but those were short enough to be barely too short.

Know how addicting this hobby is? My little "family" has increased by two.

First, here are a couple pictures of Rue.

Up next is the first of my new girls, Alba. She is a white Resinsoul Bei I purchased secondhand off of eBay. Alba actually arrived at my house the day of my grandmother's funeral.

Just to prove that I have no self-control when it comes to BJDs, about a week after I got Alba I bought Prim, a Resinsoul Ni, from Junkyspot.

Now I'm debating about the next addition to my little family, either a Bobobie March or a smaller Resinsoul Yu. And that's not including the dark tan Bei I'm trying to special order from the RS website (if I ever hear back from them).
