orangerful: (book abby reading)
This was on my desk today, wrapped up with my name on it! I love being first in queue for kids books LOL.

MLP chapter books are the best, can't wait to read this one! #books #mlp #mylittlepony


I may be far too excited to read this book. I mean, the fact that John "Q" De Lancie is the voice of Discord so I will be hearing his voice in my head as I read amuses me no end.

This series is really good though, especially for a kids chapter book. I think the writing is surprisingly solid, considering the age range.

Right, off to do more librarian work, like making a poster for my Angry Birds program next week.

I'm almost done with the Fluttershy book (sometimes speed reading through a children's book makes you feel like a reading god) but I'm a bit terrified about Red Dragon...am I brave enough to read it?? Will I be able to enjoy it after watching 'Hannibal'?

Meep.

Okay, time to start shutting down the library.

I blame [livejournal.com profile] sabrinanymph for reminding me I even had these action figures anymore. They were in a box of X-Files stuff, banished to the back of my closet. But if you want to get a buzz from "likes" on Instagram or "reblogs" on Tumblr, you could do worse than Mulder and Scully...

@sabrinanymph look who I found! #xfiles #actionfigures #Scully #Mulder You know you'd watch this #doctorwho #xfiles #actionfigures #crossover This show, on the other hand, would have more of a niche audience. #xfiles #mlp #brony #crossover

'Equestria Girls', a My Little Pony offshoot, will have a movie-length premiere'

WTF is that.

Seriously, I'm not sure what they are supposed to be. I guess they are half pony/half human but they look there is a bit of feline in there as well.

When fans say they try to figure out which pony they are most like, they are not imagining the ponies in a human form, but in the ADORABLE PONY FORM!

This is some kind of abomination.

(Also, should we even start in on the super-tiny wastes and the fact that this form makes them easier to sexualize? Yeah, let's just not go there right now).

And what is Hasbro thinking in terms of marketing? Are these going to be creepy Barbie doll style toys? Do they really think teens will watch this? Who is the market? This is not for the "Bronies" or the "Pegasisters".

**sigh** someone at Hasbro clearly does not understand the appeal of MLP:FiM. It's adorable and cute and they are ponies in adventures. I do not understand this current TV trope of aging up the characters into tween/teen form. It just creeps me out.

I hope this bombs and I hope it bombs hard.

First bit of awesome coming out of Comic-Con today -- Doctor Who Sonic Screwdrive Universal Remote. Oh yeah, I'd buy that! Wonder how ridiculous the price will be...I don't really care though. I MUST HAVE IT! Seriously, between this and the Kinect, I will not be living in a Sci-Fi universe in my home! Waving my arms, talking to the screen. GEEK!JOY!

Speaking of Geek!Joy, I haven't read any Star Wars comic books since probably the 1990s, but this announcement that Brian Wood (DMZ, Local) is going to do a run makes me go HM?????? I may have to check in to these. OMG!

This is just making me more excited for Dragon*Con. I think I might attempt to throw together a Leela outfit since [livejournal.com profile] maybedeadcat sorta has a basic Fry outfit. (I'm probably spelling those names wrong...I'm very new to Futurama). I'd love to have a Dr. Girlfriend outfit, I've watched more Venture Bros. than Futurama, but I doubt I can throw hers together from a single trip to Kohls.

Just saw this AWESOME Rainbow Dash hoodie on ThinkGeek. She's not my favorite but...OMFG IT HAS WINGS!!!!!!

Was on hold with my cable company so I could get my promotional rate renewed and the message kept saying "Please hold the line". "Hold the line?" Isn't that what they say in military shows when the enemy army is attacking? I kept having these weird flashes of Band of Brothers type guys yelling "HOLD THE LINE!"

okay, I need to eat something before I go to work. We've got the magician summer show today (I so want to ask him if he does tricks or ILLUSIONS!) which means it will be hella crazy with kids when I get there. Going to need food in my belly if I'm going to face the crowds.

[livejournal.com profile] faeriesfolly came over tonight and after we ate her delicious chicken salad for dinner and babbled for a few hours, I finally watched my first episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

LOVED IT!!!!!!!!

So, yeah, [livejournal.com profile] faeriesfolly is totally Pinkie, [livejournal.com profile] jellibean truly is Twilight Sparkle...which pony am I?????

So sleepy...but tomorrow I go in search of more screencaps. Anyone know a good site besides the MLP:FIM wiki for episode screencaps? I was coming up empty :(

She can see!

Finally gave the girl some eyes! And I did the most ghetto hair coloring ever - I colored it with a black sharpie. Actually doesn't look too horrible considering the sharpie was out of ink. I might go buy a new one and try again. I have no desire to tear her apart to get her hair out an then sew it back in. I enjoy crafts but not that much haha.

Still need to do her "ass-tat", which will take some skillz since I'm going to try to do the Mini logo...

Put the first coat of paint on my Starbuck pony too, but she's just creepy looking (all flesh tone, all the time) so I didn't take her picture.

My Little Pony - phase 2

Added the racing stripes to my Mini Cooper Pony. I also painted her ears white because I have the white side-view mirror caps.

Need to finish painting in her eyes and decide what I want to do with her hooves (should I just do them black or add some white, since I have the white hubcaps on my car?) Also need to decide what should go on her rear end - Mini logo? ORNGRFL, like my license plate? Or...?

My Little Pony phase 1

Our internet went out this morning so I finally painted my first My Little Pony. She turned out really orange! haha! So I'm thinking I'm going to model her after my Mini Cooper.

Next up, I need to raid my mom's paint supply and get some additional colors!

Now, what should I do with the other two? I'm thinking a Starbuck pony maybe in her Viper pilot uniform with the Viper logo on her bum. I could probably handle that.

I know, baby steps!
