adventures in the library underbelly

[orangerful]

First things first - for my fellow Joss fans, the letter that was included in the UK Angel : The Complete Series boxed set. I adore that man's sense of humor.

The WoW servers were down last night, it was very sad. We were looking forward to adventuring with simontrueheart and running into destertale in her horde form. But instead, we ended up playing Tales of Symphonia. Well, "playing" is a loose term there, as it took us about 30 minutes to figure out how the heck to get the controls to work. Then after that I was getting sleepy so I didn't last too much longer. But it was fun once we got the hang of it.

We finished watching House of Flying Daggers last night. That was very pretty. The story is very simple and sort of...well, you pretty much know whats going to happen as soon as you get the basic plot. But it really isn't about the story, it's about the presentation. It's about people jumping on top of trees and flying around and dodging insane amounts of bamboo shoots.

Speaking of bamboo, if you're looking for an amusing read, let me reccomend Kitchen Confidential. I'm halfway thru it now and it's just so amusing. It's about the seedy underbelly of the culinary world. Anthony Bourdain is (as Beth warned me) a total elitist and kind of a jerk, BUT he is also a very good writer.

Episode III came out on DVD today and I'm not sure it the Burger King by us has started the new toy promotions. Someone on the collector board said their BK started today but I didn't think it was actually scheduled until next week. I also got my hands on the Clone Battlepack but I'm torn about whether or not I should take them out of the box. I'm an opener by nature but they look so damn cool in the box! what to do what to DO!

Uuuuuuh, I think I had something else to say...OH! Bill alerted me to the next craze in online comics - or maybe not, but it's HIGHLY amusing: Dr. MrNinja.

Also - because it is slow at work and I'm a comments whore - a commenting meme!!! Participation is mandatory! Except that it's not. But it would make these last few hours go by faster. So pretty please?

btw - this was totally gakked from gypsyjr

*squee* Snowbunny Padme! Ooh I definitely need to keep my eyes peeled for that one.. I didn't even know about the Tatooine and Wedding Padmes from Episode II until last year, but luckily my dad knows how much I love Padme, so he had picked them up. I didn't know he had bought them until I was stealing Geonosis Padme to use as a costume reference--I absolutely freaked out. :)

wait, Tatooine Padme? Which one is that?

I have the wedding Padme. She's on my bookshelf holding her little bouquet.

[jellibean.livejournal.com]

This one.
With Cloak on..

Yay for wedding Padme! The only thing I don't like about the Padme figures is that they look a lot like Paris from Gilmore Girls...

OMG WHY DON'T I HAVE THAT!!!!! I think I miss that one :( I swear, the later Padme's were really hard to find. I remember searching all over for the wedding one. Wow. I am teh jealous.

The only padme I have that I consider hard to find was from Episode I in her senate gown...I had a friend from Ohio send that to me. Never did see her around here.

We never got Senate Gown Padme.. I never liked that outfit, and my dad only gets the random Padmes because of me. I'm mad they only had one Padme for ROTS... they should make a Sleepless Knights Padme (the lavendar nightgown) that cries. Poor Padme. Reduced to a teary-eyed preggers Senator, and for what? To be Force-choked by her ingrateful (and whiny and abusive but really hot) husband. Tsk tsk.

yeah, I'm miffed there is only one Padme in the new 2006 line. ANd only one Leia too! I mean, wtf, how many freakin' Anakin's and Luke's do we need? They never change outfits!!! It's so very frustrating.

hahahaha, I can see the box now for PJ Padme - now with REAL TEARS! Sqeeze her legs and let the hormones RAGE! hahahaha. Comes with a cloth so you can shine her face up for your own balcony scene.
