mmmm...drive slower, you should

I definatley must have one fo the Star Wars Dashboard Drivers. Obviously, I should get Yoda. I wonder how they work...yes, *adds to shopping list*

Got my credit card bill for the month, did quite a bit of damage, what with starting the billing period off with a concert, buying a new stereo, and having to fix my car's AC and a flat tire. Yowza. But, hey, it's summer! I'll go back to my more thrifty self once fall rolls around and I can use that "well, xmas is soon, so I'll wait" excuse...which never works but still!

Serenity won the Hugo award for best drama ("long form" hehe). Joss couldn't make it but Morena Baccarin was there and apparently she brought Joss' speech with her.

In other Joss related news, we finally saw the episode of Veronica Mars that Joss guest starred in! His acting was Kevin Smith-esque.

jimithingy showed me today that Jay Clifford, lead singer of Jump (Little Children) has got new tunes up on his MySpace! I really like his voice, and I was so bummed when Jump stopped touring last year, so this makes me so very happy. Though I'm a bit miffed Maryland/Virginia/Pennsylvania got NO LOVE on the tour. :( The closest show is NYC and that's a nice 5 hour drive. Blah.

4 things meme (serious business)

Here are Four Things about me some of you may not have known:

Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. library page
2. radio "voice personality" (DJ)
3. Drum Major (it kept me busy enough to be a job!)
4. retail sales (at The Limited)

( oh you want more? )

random side note - snarkel made awesome icons, snaggage has insued. I suggest you do the same.

you will forget everything I told you

So...remember how in my last post I said I'd hold back from spending because summer was over...yeah...well...I double checked the calendar, summer is not officially over yet...

See, I got my hair cut today (FINALLY!). I am really REALLY happy with it. I went for Kristen Bell's haircut from Teen People (oct 2004) only shorter, because I wanted a cut. It turned out really well, it was very slow at the Hair Cuttery so the the stylist took her time showing me how to style it. Then, as I was getting ready to leave, I realized I owned absolutely know hair-doing supplies, so I asked her what she used to make my hair look as cute as it did at that moment. So she gave me the two items (a gel and a spray) and then I sheepishly admitted I probably needed to buy a hairdryer. (the hairdryer I have I stole from my mom, and I'm pretty sure it's from the 1970s, the thing is LOUD and HOT and HUGE). So that knocked my simple haircut pricetag up to $76. Plus tip. So much for cutting back.

But, does this make me think I should behave myself the rest of the month? Not really. One of my DCSWCC friends alerted me to a sale at AFK on Buffy figures. Check it out - I get the Buffy and Dawn figures PLUS Cheerleader buffy for $30 PLUS for $15 more I can get You're Welcome Cordelia and School Hard Spike. Now, I really don't need a Dawn figure, but of all the dawn figures, this one looked the best to me. Chosen Buffy I need because she has the Slayer Sythe! I need that. Cheerleader Buffy? She might not be the best mold ever but she's cheerleader buffy!!! The "You're Welcome" Cordelia is probably the best Cordy mold out there (the other one I want is "The Wish", but that's Buffy Cordy, and this will be Angel Cordy...) and School Hard Spike looks fantastic! And I do not have a Spike (apart from Chosen "freebie yellow" Spike) or a Cordelia! How could I let this fantastic offer pass me by!!??

To just add to that, the same DCSWCC member who showed me the sale has offered to sell me some of his old Buffy figures that he's trying to clear out (they're expecting their first child so he's trying to clear at a room). So, hopefully, I'll be getting two Oz figures (normal Oz and Werewolf Oz) along with Dopplegangland Willow, Anyanka and Vamp Dru at the October meeting (can't make the september meeting due to a play).

I still need to get the Sunnydale library playset...that's totally going on my christmas list.

best part of any Emmy presentation

I totally flaked on the Emmys (because the emmys usually flake on my favorite shows) but I found the opener YouTube and it made me giggle.

(though the cutest thing was the fact that jimithingy watched it from across the room until the bit from 'The Office' started, then he ran over to see Jim. haha. He's so cute. (jimithingy, that is. Well, Jim is cute too, but jimithingy pwns him for dashing over to see him haha)).

long overdue icon post

lots of LIMS entries and other random fandom stuff. And one banner that I couldn't remember if I posted or not :D

I'm trying to get into a groove for making graphics again. Right now, Monday night is raid night on WoW, so I'm thinking Wednesdays will be grahpics night! :) We'll see what happens. I missed messing with photoshop.
