qoop

My qoop order came today. Very pleased. Though it probably shouldn't have it has inspired me to make my second Etsy name, rjax into a shop. I admit to being an amateur, maybe I shouldn't. I admit to having an extremely fickle camera, though, again maybe I shouldn't. I don't think of them as 'fine' art. But if you like them, I'm happy.

It's an experiment. I can be a little more lax with this shop. (it hasn't officially opened yet. Play around more. There will be other paper goods, too. Maybe I'll get a gocco. My hobby is creating, just like my business is.

TV Aside- 5.30

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!


So I watch Lost like some millions of others. Yesterday was the finale of Season 4 here in the US. I think it was the best 2 hours of Lost ever. Not the best two of television ever, or the best two hours of drama-related programming...just the best two hours of Lost.

I'm not a 'Lostie' or whatever the uber-fans of the show call themselves. I don't read forums or spend hours thinking about the missing clues. I take it as its written, interpretation was never my forte, and am slowly becoming convinced that this show may go down as a media farce along the line of Y2K...only worse. But they redeemed themselves for a few minutes when they reunited Desmond and Penny in what might be the most anticipated moment in TV history. We only waited four years. It was cheer-worthy.

There was an exceptional fight scene, too. Best I've seen on TV or the movies in my opinion. Bro2 agreed with me...or I agreed with him. And of course there were loose ends galore and whatnot. Death, sacrifice, lapses in judgement, not many answers. But for that brief moment, it was good...very good. Thank you, writers!

Feature 5.28- thetinies

A dearly beloved Etsyan has started a new shop called thetinies. It's almost sinful how cute they are. I can't wait to see what other ones she makes. I also can't wait to get my pair, the ones in the picture. I could have faved them. But it seems when I fave things they sell quicker and I wanted them for my own, my precious. (Just watched LOTR last night)

I think this is only my second feature. You can check my click the 'feature' label at the bottom of this post. But I felt I had to. They're just too delectably cute. But you'll have to get your own.

Post Picture: MINE! Soon anyway. Photo credit thetinies.

Lethargy

I'm not sure why, but I'm dead tired when I wake up. It's like I didn't sleep at all. Very odd.

We're going to the movies today. A theater that closed and then re-opened has a 'matinee-price-all-day' thing on Tuesdays. The choice is between Iron Man and the new Narnia. I think we're leaning Iron Man.

I've done some offloading on eBay. Searched for supplies and didn't get the D-SLR that I thought would be mine. Not that I actually tried...just admired from a far. It was a nice camera, for what I know of them. One day...

Got my Metalliferous order, too. Chain tags and earwires. I hope they put all their stuff in their online store. It's so easy. I could get addicted to buying online.

Now 5.26

Where have all the blog commenters gone? Perhaps it's selfish to ask. But I used to get about 2 comments a day and don't get any now, so I'm just wondering...

I try to reserve 'Now' for big revelations or milestones, at least I shall from now on.

I found out an old classmate of mine is pregnant. We've lived in the same town for the last 15 years so we run into acquaintances from times gone by occasionally. We (Mom Bro2 and I) ran into the father of that classmate today. It threw me. Not in a judging way, I don't think. I just didn't think she would, now. Younger girls get pregnant, I know. It's just...I don't know. At it brings back the fact that we aren't kids anymore...that we've grown up. I couldn't imagine myself with a baby...maybe because I'm so unbelievably single. Ha!

I'm not sure I should bring my eBay 'life' into my elpy 'life' but I have 5 watchers on the fondue fountain. I'm very excited about this. I've tried selling it more than once since we got it. Don't give someone a fondue fountain unless you know they like/want one. C'mon. A toaster anyone can use...unless you're on a low-carb thing I guess. But if it's an oven...anyway, a fondue fountain has only one purpose. Thanks, anyway. :) (Do I sound ungrateful? I'm not really...I loved the thought behind it.)
