*Yes, barks. Thundercat’s not quite able to go “Woof,” but she tries.
**I haven’t given her a name in the years she’s been in my head—nothing seems to fit. For now, the Princess suffices.
- Charlie the Putty Tat is slowly getting used to my having moved her room downstairs. She’s back on the foot of
myher bed, and hardly ever runs for her life when the air conditioner comes on anymore. - Sadly, the room used to belong to her sister, Fern, who is much less polite—and a lot filthier, even with the recent bath. Ol’ Thundercat has tried sleeping on my bed, in my hamper, in the dolls’ bed, and on top of my shoes, and she knocks things over and barks a lot,* so I now have a closed-door policy.
- In a somewhat related story, the allergies are restless. My eyes are leaky and sore, and my nose is starting to follow suit. So are the knees, which seem to be the congregation point for whatever crud I get.
- Doll Stuff of course, remains entertaining. I’m working on clothes, including Kyouko’s school uniform and costumes for this year’s upcoming Halloween epic photostory. The costume I made ultimately went ker-fail, but I know why and will kick its ASS next time around. I’m also making Summer’s new hearing aid.
- Got some beadwork stuff to play with, including warm-tone wires like brass and copper. Silver’s nice, but give me orange, red, and yellow any day.
- Been eyeing a stack of T-shirts and fabric paint I’ve had sitting around. I’m trying to work out a really fancy design for a shirt with multiple conscripts on it, see.
- Dweiji ran into the Princess** in the Chop Shop and, to my surprise, took an instant liking to her. The two are now a Mismatched Pair.
- Loke and Ghil are on the road to reconciliation as they explore the intricacies of interspecies betrayals, redemption, blame, and courtesy, by which I mean they get to watch a mob tear somebody’s head off. Naturally, there is healing all around.
- Triskale has just explained his credo—an exciting presentation on why he felt it obligatory to become a serial killer. The speech could have been enhanced by Powerpoint, but hey, you work with what you’ve got.

I knew pretty much nothing about it (other than a general buzz saying it's great, which is true), and by the power of Greyskull, I was blown away! And I've only a casual interest in SF movies, so for me to fall completely in love with one is pretty big.
Also, I only know two people who have seen it (random strangers on Twitter doesn't count), I need more people to gush with! XD

Date: 2009-09-09 09:49 am (UTC)Y'know, if I included everything that was REALLY happening, my Christmas letter would be SO BIZARRE. "What a busy year it's been! Amelia has a new job at the library, the brother will be graduating, the sister has mastered the art of Gun. Oh and the giant omnipresent alien species known throughout The Galaxy as The Hive has decided to take some time off, tying up spaceships near and far in a mass exodus back to its home planet. How are you?"

The screen remains resolutely blue.
"Oh, for ... hang on a second. Have I got the input on the ... No, that's not the problem ...
The fumbling continues for fifteen minutes, after which he calls the A/V guys only to find out they won't be in till next Monday. Luke and Vader have been making halfhearted suggestions but are hoping they can adjourn till Monday--and this dawning hope causes the projector to inexplicably start working.
"Oh, there we go. And NOW, young Skywalker ..."
On the screen a header appears. In Papyrus. "Why Join The Dark Side?" An inappropriate bit of a cartoony grinning guy in a Jedi robe holding a coffee cup appears, followed by bullets:
-Your faith in your friends is your weakness
-If you do this you can save them
-Striking me down is what you want
-Ruling the galaxy
-You have a twin sister who may become evil if you don't
-Your feelings betray you
-I have foreseen it
-Fringe benefits (black robe, cool red lightsaber)
-Cookies
"Now then, we'll take these one at a time in the following presentation. Please refer to the handout containing screencaps of all the slides to follow along."
