Nicked from  goddessdsterThe rules are easy, just post 10 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 10 people and force them to post this meme on their LJs. Because it is good. Everyone needs a little happiness once in a while. 1. Frame clearance at Shopko. 2. Called electric company, got an actual human on the phone. With luck they will come trim my trees, so the trees won't (a) rip out the power cables and (b) scrape on the roof and scare the hell out of me at 3 a.m. 3. Got my Paranoia Agent bag fixed so I don't have to carry a Meijers bag to work. 4. Nearing bottom of laundry pile. 5. That dog that drives by the house twice a day, yelping, with doppler effect. 6. Spore 7. "Well hi there kittyOH MY GOD YOU'RE A POSSUM OH JESUS!" 8. Brass Eye and, consequently, my region-free DVD player. 9. Waving hello to the Asians next door. We have no language in common, so we wave and say HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! As you do. I hope they aren't serial killers. 10. Mashed potatoes. OM NOM NOM. Not tagging because.

Had all of two trick-or-treaters. One was tiny boy from next door, dressed in full-body Satan costume and perfectly adorable. He got the Batman action figure: Tiny Boy: What's he say? His Mom: I don't know. Ann: He says, Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na, Batman! Tiny Boy: [stares] The other was a Grim Reaper, with latex mask and improvised garbage-bag cloak. He wasn't much for small talk. "Thag you. I gan't breathe." So by 7:00 I got all depressed and went to the bookstore and the video store. The Christmas shit is out at the bookstore, and looks dire. Video store had the new Phoenix anime, which went tapockata tapockata in my machine, so I watched part of Hot Fuzz in French instead. L'Inspecteur Frank Butterman, he aime le Far-West, yup. My French is really sad. So now I've got a giant basket of chocolate and Happy Meal toys, and a video I have to return. Tags: anime, candy, dvd, halloween, hot fuzz

Watched Flash Gordon while eating jaffa cakes. Life is good. Just now: Sharon (pointing at my Paranoia Agent man-bag with the scary-ass pink dog on it): Aw, that's cute! Me: Actually it comes to life and torments its creator. Sharon: Paranoia Agent. That's cute. I like that. Tags: anime, be@rbrick/japanese toys, dvd, movies

My poor alarm clock -- the one that made bird noises and got in the fight with the cardinal that time -- committed suicide rather than continue to live with me. Okay, it didn't. But the turn-the-alarm-off switch won't turn off anymore, and that's, like, one of yer key switches in an alarm clock. So it got a dignified burial at sea. If the kitchen wastebasket counts as the sea. For small electronics funereal purposes, it does. So I got the other one out of the other bedroom. It's a sort of round boombox thingie, like Jigglypuff crossed with the Death Star. Very fancy, but very cheap because it was a floor model off a Target end cap. With no manual. And a lot of buttons and functions: Alarm A, Alarm B, nap alarm, set the time, set the alarm time, set the other alarm time, tune the radio, turn up the volume, pick the CD track, pause, beverage warmer, lotion dispenser, and dimensional portal interface. There's also a bizarre little umbilical noodle that I think is the radio antenna. I hope it's the radio antenna. If not, when I come home tonight, the reading lamp will be pregnant. On the other hand, we need the bulbs. What the hell was I talking about? Oh. Well, I figured out how to set the alarm to work the CD player, and popped in the Noir soundtrack. And never thought about the necessity of checking the volume setting. I am really, really awake now. Here's the song, as seen on TV: Tags: anime, it burns jim, noir

Still working on the Black Dolls, and photographing them as I go along in hopes of making some sort of tutorial or, more likely, chronicle of Nixonian failure. For example, I laid the patterns out on the fabric exactly 90 degrees in the wrong direction, so that the stretchousness (technical term) is sideways rather than uppy-downy (stop me if my terminology gets too arcane here), and Fran and Manny are currently bald little soft-sculpture hammers with eyes. Easy enough to adjust on Fran by padding her hair. But Manny...I really wish he wore more hats. Then he could be Manny from That Episode Where He Wore the Hat. Bernard looks like a very angry starfish, so he's coming along fine. Meanwhile, the new issue of Newtype has a DVD with the first episodes of Peach Girl and Le Chevalier d'Eon. Peach Girl is a faithful (so far) adaptation of the manga, so if you like one you'll probably like the other. Le Chevalier d'Eon seems to start with the second or third episode, but both disc label and episode credits swear it's episode 1. But if you don't mind the choppy storytelling and aren't a historical purist (d'Eon was a real guy, but his genderfuckery was, as near as anyone can tell, due to personal preference rather than supernatural hi-jinks), the animation is gorgeous and the story compelling. If you dig that whole BeruBara/Utena scene, this may be your bag, man. Tags: anime, black books, dvd, i got a camera, instructional video, manga, plushies, television, toys

Been watching Angelic Layer. Much hilarity, since it starts out as a sell-you-stuff anime (like Yu-Gi-Oh! or Pokemon), but since it's entirely fictional, you can't buy any of it. Angelic Layer a fighting game, played by elaborate, customizable (and, one assumes, hideously expensive) cybernetic dolls. Sort of like Asian BJD fandom, but with (more) hitting. One imagines that there are Angelic Layer early adopters who spend a lot of time on the Internet bitching about how it isn't as cool as it was, since all these damn n00bs have shown up. And arguments over unsanctioned parts -- one character outfits her doll with illegal electrified whips, and picks on newbies who don't know enough to call her on it in order to rack up wins. Surely there must be AL porn sites and naughty doujinshi as well. My point being, I want a customized robot doll that hits stuff. Tags: anime, dvd, goddamn stupid doll, manga
