A while back I was playing around with some glow-in-the-dark clay and made a little pumpkin charm. Well, a tourist saw it where I had it displayed at the pizza shop at work and not only bought it, she commissioned a set of earrings & a necklace with the same glow-in-the-dark pumpkins and also ghosts. Now, Hubby & I don't celebrate Halloween but ( Read more... )

So, in the midst of our move across town, I also decided it was time to rearrange my office at work. Halfway through dragging my desk to the other side of the room and getting my computer all hooked up again, I somehow managed to knock the cheap plastic clock off the wall. The battery pack fell off the back, thereby setting the hour/minute/second ( Read more... )

Buying a car has got to be one of the most torturous, stressful, terrifying acts on the planet... Last night was my 3rd purchase ever and I'm still trying to ignore the huge sick feeling in my stomach even though we got exactly what we were looking for, at the price we wanted. *sigh* I think the problem is we felt pressured and rushed - even though ( Read more... )

The only thing I wasn't expecting is I am getting a strong vibe that in this version Kyoya is going to be a secondary otp? In episode 5 during the trip to the beach, he jumped in ( Read more... )

After endless research I have finally decided which ereader I want. The decision was recently made much easier due to the horrible closing of Borders, but that's me taking store loyalty a bit too far, I suppose ( Read more... )

I watched the first episide of the live jdrama version of Ouran High School ( Read more... )

 Is it bizarre to be utterly devastated that Borders is closing forever?

Where the heck am I going to browse books? Actually pick up the volumes, flip the pages, skim here and there, read the last page (I swear I only very rarely do that, honest!)??!!  Walmart? Target?  Pfht!! The tiny mom&pop shop that's super overpriced for the tourists?  My ( Read more... )

 Just finished the first episode of Mike He & Cyndi Wang's new drama "Love Keeps Going" and it is utter adorableness. The music is Cyndi's usual cuteness and the characters, while not very developed yet, are interesting.  It's going to be fun watching Cyndi's character develop a mind of her own - and Mike's just the one to draw it out of her - he's ( Read more... )
