I am a little tired right now.

@cleolinda: I did not sleep at all last night. Just lay there hoping Bad Cat was making That Rustling Sound.

@SuperCricket: @cleolinda and that's how Cleolinda found out she had a heffalump infestation.

Speaking of Twitter: please do not contact me there if you currently are or are pretending to be on hard drugs. Thank you.

@NASA_Hubble: Helium walks into a bar. Bartender says "We don't take kindly to Noble Gasses here." Helium doesn't react.

You know, as Mark gets ever further into Harry Potter, I began to wonder why I never did Order of the Phoenix in Fifteen Minutes. What the hell was going on at the time? So I went back and checked some dates. MARK DON'T READ THIS THERE ARE SPOILERS. DON'T READ THE COMMENTS EITHER )

Speaking of which: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Behind the Scenes Photos. More linkspam )

<---- New Secret Life of Dolls thataway.

(Okay, twelve hours later, and I am still GLEEFULLY proud that I scored something rare-ish on eBay for half the usual price. Number of dolls I am keeping secret from you guys: back up to 2.)

First off: Happy holidays if you celebrate them!

Secondly: I just wanted to reassure people that lurking is totally okay. I know that for a lot of "personal" journals, lurking can be kind of creepy, but I really think of this as sort of a hybrid journal/media blog, and I generally don't post anything I wouldn't want repeated (very much keeping the "open universe" concept in mind). So linking to an entry here is okay, and quietly reading without saying anything is completely fine. Based on my site stats, the majority of people don't say anything, in fact. (And since I have anonymous commenting turned off for the sake of my own sanity, I imagine that a number of them can't.) I like chatting with people when I can, but you're not under any pressure or obligation, and I don't think it's weird if you stay in read-only mode.

Thirdly: Since I was discussing the imminent release of the NECA Bella figure in the comments, and a few people raised concerns that having a Bella around would suck, let me ask you this: would you have believed me if I'd told you two months ago that you would love The Littlest Edward? (I mean, not all of you do, I guess, but he's pretty popular now.) Keep in mind how crazy Bella drives me in the books. And that I know y'all are concerned about this. And that I know that reenacting Twilight unironically would be super lame besides, I don't have a truck or bad vampires. And also, that TLE still has My Little Ponies to take care of. And also-also, that Anna still hates him. I'm just saying, there's lots of places we could go with The Littlest Bella, and even I haven't decided what all they could be. So, you know. No worries.

And we haven't even opened The Package yet, and no matter who's in there (uh. Creepy choice of words, sorry), it will obviously affect the entire Shelf. But I promise you, we have gotten through everything we need to get through--or we will have, after the conclusion to yesterday's cliffhanger, which I might be able to post tonight, I don't know. Depending on how long it takes me to write, we could have The Reveal by Monday or Tuesday.

Fourthly (are we on four now?): I got a couple of related-to-doll stories recs. From [livejournal.com profile] melayka, [livejournal.com profile] abe_kroenen, a multi-fandom Hellboy-centered photo comic (hey, is that an Elrond?), and--help, I've lost the comment! Who recommended Kimono's Townhouse, the one with the My Little Ponies? ETA: It was [livejournal.com profile] dakiwiboid, thanks!

Fifthly, the doll food in the previous entry was from Pancake Meow, although the milk was real, and if you look closely, you'll see two tiny doll "aspirin" (it's the little touches that mean so much).

Sixthly, the Aromaleigh samples really are very becoming.

You know, it's really productive to have a gigantic head/jawache from stress right when you need to work on something that would earn some money and thereby alleviate the source of the stress.

So... let's go to another happy jewelry place! I bring you--via [livejournal.com profile] elisa0984--georgianjewelry.com. (Favorite pieces: the man in the moon earrings; the moonstone double heart ring; the moonstone heart pendant; the scalloped piqué hoops; the pearl heart pendant; the French locket. But then, I think I'm a sucker for the sun/moon/stars motif in general. And also, moonstones.)

Okay, so, first of all, I've found a hard round lump under my chin, back near my throat--the middle of my chin, so it's not a lymph node--that's about the size of a dime. It's under a layer of skin and fat, shut up so I can't see it, but it's obviously pretty deep, so it's not some kind of blemish. It didn't hurt until I started prodding at it, at which point it started to get a little surly. Someone suggested it might be a cyst, which I like better than my instantaneous self-diagnosis of Fatal Chin Cancer, although no one suggested this until after I'd lost a night of sleep worrying about it. So. Short of running to a doctor (and we all know how often I manage that) and demanding that s/he examine and/or remove my Chin Cancer NOW, how can I figure out what it is and what, if anything, can or should be done about it? Like, is it likely to be a cyst? Will it go away by itself? Can I stop writing out my last will and testament?

(You laugh, but after Dooce's experiences with cancerous growths, I'm not trifling with this shit. I'd rather run to a doctor and get it removed now than get told a year from now, "Well, you have two weeks to live, but if we'd caught it sooner...")

Second of all: What ever happened to diarist.net? I get faithful solicitations from their mailing list as to whether I would like to unsubscribe or not, but I don't think the site itself has updated in three years.

Happy belated Fourth of July, y'all. We spent it eating barbecue and multiple chocolate-based desserts, while my stepfather played drums (in Revolutionary costume, no less) down at the American Village. The pups got neutered yesterday and came home this afternoon as frisky as ever, so that's safely been accomplished. And I was all like, "With everyone else home to watch the dogs, I'll really be able to get some work done!" Yeah... not so much with that. It's been a lot more eating and shopping and movie-watching and dozing. However, we do have tickets for Midnight Harry Potter, which is at least something

I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK )
