Hooray for Friday!

* Ha ha! Where else would you want to keep your dice than in a d20? Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories even give you step-by-step details!

A quick browse around shows they know how to make their own geeky fun - like Crunchy Frogs (with poprocks), a cardboard cat chaise lounge, and LED garden lights (hmm, add some black paper and colored tissue and they could be creepy faces for Oct 31! )

* I finally gave in and joined Facebook. That thing is not made for ease of use, or I'm getting old, cause I have to click around forever to find what I'm looking for.

* So Glen, what do you think about a ceremony based on your favorite game? :snicker:

* Current time-waster: Awful Library Books. My local library is sadly filled with these sorts of out-of-date, no longer correct books. But maybe if I keep visiting the Friends of the Library store I can walk away with a gem like this one:

But he isn't wearing his heels!

What a coincidence! Right after discussion of Eddie in the comments, I see that according to The Sun, Eddie Izzard will run 1,000 around the UK in 7 weeks to raise money for a sports charity.


Been having a bit of a bad day, so cake, especially in Lego, will cheer me right up!

I confess

* Hi, my name is K0dama and I'm addicted to Halloween decor. And Target. And when they combine, I can't stop!
So of course I've been lurking at their website for a sneak peek and was rewarded today. Waaay in the back, on the last pages of a search for "Halloween decor", items marked "new" but also "not in stock." Like this guy, Zen the bobblehead! Or a spooky cute advent calendar!

* I'm also feeling crafty, wanting to do something with all the lovely scrapbook papers that I get on clearance because they are just too pretty to pass up! Maybe start making my own cards - I've done that in the past and they seem to be well received. Creative and economical!

* But I'm determined to save money for The Big Move. I'm in the process of tidying and cleaning all rooms and closets, so what better time to cull what I don't need (and don't feel like toting to the Great North)? 3 bedrooms full of stuff will take some time :)

Aaaaaand ...

now it's fixed! I suspect that Firefox was the problem - I'm having other issues as well.

Yay!

Blogger issues continue

weird - I can see my blog as a guest, I can post, but I can't see my blog as the owner!

thinking ahead

* Glen has returned to Canadia :( but we have plans to meet up again in September!

* And other plans as well, after talking to the realtor. Time to start packing up my household! I know it's better for showing and selling, but I hate having to remove all the stuff that makes my house MINE: monkey mats masked, horror statues hidden and candles canned, Ganesha gone. I'll have to make a secret display in a closet ;)
When I think about everything that needs doing I get overwhelmed, but one small step at a time isn't so bad. I'm taking tomorrow off so work starts Sunday!

* So, last Tuesday Glen and I watched Unidentified Flying Oddball; I had fond memories of the novelization I had as a kid, but boy oh boy the best part of the movie is the title. Seriously. It was bad enough to erase any nostalgia I had. I may have to rethink watching The North Avenue Irregulars, although any flick with Cloris Leachman can't be all bad. Shoot, she even looks good dressed in cabbage!

* The outside may be 87 (feels like 95) but it is freezing in the office. Sigh, I can't wait for fall and cooler weather. And Halloween! I found what may be a sneak peak at Target's 2009 Halloween goodies, yay for purple cats!

* Waaaaaaant! No need or reason except it's wicked cool!

* Woo hoo, got my first stranger follower! Er, I mean follower who is a stranger to me, that I don't have a connection to ... Their website has some rockin' gravestones (look at the middle photo - CAKE OR DEATH!), and they even teach classes on how to make them! Welcome, Frog on the Pumpkin!

Feeling crafty

* Hi! Glen suggested that I start sharing some of my burgeoning craftiness here, so I'll start with my favorite of the bunch:

The border is from Charted Folk Designs for Cross-Stitch Embroidery and the typeface is from In Stitches From A to Z. The chainsaw is my own after looking at several photos and drawings of Ash. And I'm sure you know that the quote is from Army of Darkness. It was made as a belated birthday present for a fellow Bruce Campbell fan. She LOVES it and has it displayed at work, right next to her Ash in S-Mart action figure.

I've already started on my next work, and the clue is Cthulhu.
