Dolls, Baby!

Yay! We went and saw a house today that's managed by our current real estate agent. Looks less than impressive from the outside, but inside is b--i--g. Just what we need. We tend to spread out a bit as anyone who's been to my house can attest. So now it's all abut the packing and finding a removalist and all that fun stuff.

In between house hunting, I managed to buy a new shirt for Jericho ^__^ I got it from talithax and she sent it with one of her cute little bracelets. Not only that, but it was delivered today, in between rain storms. Thanks talithax's parents!

Meanwhile, I still have an exam on Tuesday, so it's back to reading about how Rule 8 replaces and extends Rule 9.5 of the original Professional Conduct Rules. Fun stuff, I tell ya!

Our new house. If that doesn't really count, then my mum's. It was a catch-up visit with her after she got back from spending a few days down south visiting with one of my sisters.

So now I'm wasting time browsing eBay because my favourite sellers have new stock and what better way to waste time when I'm supposed to be studying? Winter's coming and my boys need shoes, dammit.

Meanwhile, a week or so ago, Lucah was the first to meet Jericho. I had thought that Lucah, being Lucah, wouldn't take to the little guy, but they seemed to get on quite well. However, I think Lucah was up to mischief, and making a start on his plan to lead Jericho astray. Just a feeling I have.

( Lucah and Jericho under the cut )

I love Marvin - such a fun guy...er, robot, whatever.

Anyway, this week I received something in the mail. Not the usual happy surprises. This was a "WTF!" surprise. A Notice to Terminate from the landlord ;_; Yes. We have to move. I *hate* moving. I can't begin to describe just how much I hate it. But if, like me, you don't actually own the house you live in, you get to do a lot of moving. Life sucks.

Also, I had to get my eyes tested and get new glasses, so that's cost me quite a bit *sob* That money could have bought me my DOB and two faceups and clothes! But at least I'll be able to see clearly @_@

TAFE starts again next week and first night back I have an exam! Lucky me.

This weekend will be study, assignment I still have to finish, house-hunting, study, and more study. I know you're all jealous - hahahahaha!!

PS: Anyone else having trouble with DOA tonight?

I swear my Ryu is jinxed. First of all it took me forever to get his (and his brother's) face painted, then his stringing came undone and I had to re-string him, now one of his eyelashes has fallen off ;_; The eyelashes I sent for the faceup were freakin' HUGE! More like lashes for people. I think that may be the problem. Anyway, right now he's missing some lashes. I don't know if I should just rip the other one off, too, or try and re-apply them. I really *do* like lashes on a doll, so maybe I'll try to put them back on.

Meanwhile, updated pics of Seth (MD Ryu) and Rue (MD Miho).

This is Seth (although maybe I should call him Jinx!):


and this is Rue:


I finally friended asliceoflove - I thought I'd already done that, and I was wondering why she never posted - d'oh!

Oh yeah - Lucah and Raidan are totally pissed that their wigs have been stolen by the new kids!

Yes, the heads arrived back early last week, and I was so anxious to connect them to their long-waiting bodies, I decided to make a start straight away - when I should have been studying. Anyway, when I was taking the little donut-y thing off the first body, I slipped a chopstick in under the elastics to hold them in place when I took of the S-hook. Except I didn't put the chopstick in correctly, and the damned elastic shot straight down the body. Eeek! Poor boy's chest and tummy fell off and so did his right lower leg and his foot! I didn't have time to mess around with a falling-apart doll's body, so I managed to fix his leg and foot, and left him like that until last night. Now he's all fixed - yay! It's marvellous what determination and a pair of pliers can do ^_~

So they're both complete now, except poor Ryu doesn't have his proper eyes or wig ;_; and one of the eyes I did put in isn't straight, so there aren't any pics of him. But the Miho turned out very well indeed, so there are a couple of pics of him and - because his brother couldn't be in the pics, we got a stand-in ^__^

Clicking on this pic will take you to the album:

I hope to have pics of my other Migi boy tomorrow.

I love surprise packages - except when I can't get to them right away! I got a call on Friday to say a box had arrived for me from Ian. That could only mean one thing - my Mo had arrived! Bummer, though. I had a work function after work, and I wasn't going to get home until after 11pm!

I did open the box when I got home, and was surprised how colourful his face was! His lips are painted a little weirdly, and they are hard to photograph, but he's grogeous and I love him.

Tomorrow, I have to study for another exam - boo! - so I've been playing a bit with Jericho today. Here's a little piccie of my new boy. Clicking on the pic will take you to my Picasa album where there's more Jericho pics:

I'll also have my two MD heads home next week! I can't wait ^__^

I took my MD heads to the Post Office during the week and the guy behind the counter asked why I'd written "With Care Please" on the box. I said it was because the contents were fragile. His response? We don't handle fragile goods. Oh, right, then. Well, give me the package back and I'll fly to New South Wales and deliver it in person, shall I? Moron. Anyway, the heads were sent, and later I realised I'd forgotten to include the eyelashes. Back to the post office. No problems this time.

I'm wondering just how much more longer I have to wait for my Mo to arrive. Meanwhile, DOD have made a bold attempt to hijack my savings by bringing out their DOB line. I do love Pisce, but before I decide anything I'd like to know how big they'll be. I'm hoping 30cm or thereabouts and maybe around $200-$250. I may be kidding myself, but all will be revealed on the 1st April.

From me and the crew (the ones with heads, at least!)

( Easter wishes under the cut )

I hope those of you who celebrate Easter have a wonderful time, and hooray for an extra long weekend!

Wow! That exam was hard >.< Harder than I thought it would be and harder than the lecturer said it would be, and harder than the sample exams were! To make thing worse, I'd just gotten into the lift after the exam and remembered I'd forgotten to finish one question - wah!

Guess I'll have to wait for the results. All high hopes have gone out the window and now I'm just hoping for a pass.

But at least the weather's cooled down - yay! No more fear of resin melt ^__^

Last Sunday I finally put some clothes on my FDoll bodies (who are waiting for their MD heads). Until then they'd been lying around the house naked, except for some conveniently placed toilet paper. Why toilet paper? It was part of their packing materials, so I just placed it across their private doll parts so no one need be confronted with nekkid resin boybits.

So now, they're dressed - headless, but dressed - so why are they ( freakier than before? )

Has anyone else put their dollie on the cover of a mag? I found this at DoA in the BJD Games section. T'is fun! ( Lucah loved it )

In other news - it's still too hot!

Yes, it is. Not fun at all.

I doubt I'll get much dollie stuff done this weekend, apart from finishing off cleaning my MD heads to send for faceups. I have an exam on Tuesday - yikes! Closed book, too - boo! I have to study. I'd rather be doing dollie stuff, but I guess the boys are happy not to have me man-handling them in this heat.

Yay! Visitors today. Two humans and several dolls - not to mention many heads! Even Ticoh put in an appearance and let me hold him while "the strangers" patted him. Yeah, my shoulder should heal up just fine!

Anyway, despite the heat it was cool inside, and much fun and many photos were taken. Here's a couple.

Two lil cuties:


Raidan:


Rook and Lucah:


The rest are here

That's life at the moment. I have new pics but haven't had a chance to upload. Speaking of dolls, I'm over waiting for my Mo - when will he get here? All I can do is comfort myself with the thought he's closer to arriving than he was this time last week. I'm hoping I'm not disappointed that he's msd sized. Because I have big dolls, I have to keep reminding myself, Mo is a smaller boy. But I'm sure once he arrives, I'll be over the moon with him.

Meanwhile, here's a dodgy b&w pic of the lovebirds, who've finally made up after Lucah's misbehaviour a couple of weeks ago.

If you want something to happen, complain about it not happening on LJ.

In other words, my second lace shirt turned up today, along with the pants I ordered and a bonus pair of pants that Raidan has declared he wouldn't be seen dead in and Lucah is gushing all over. In fact, Lucah is gushing over *both* pairs and they'd both suit him. Been rather busy today, so I haven't had a chance to try them on any of my boys, but I'll do it on the weekend - great chance to try out David's new/secondhand camera ^__^

I think I must be jinxed when it comes to lace tops. I ordered a lace top and some pants from a seller on DOA before Xmas. There was a problem with customs forms and the parcel never showed up. Back in January he said he'd send the items again, and they're still not here.

I won an auction for a lace top on eBay a little while ago. Guess what? Yep, it's not here, either.

Yet the zebra top and black pants I ordered on the 6 Feb arrived on Thursday 14 Feb. See? No lace involved. I suspect there's a postie out there with a lace fetish!

Was great fun although the fall-out is still being felt here at home. Lucah has been banished to the far corner of the display unit (still with a smug smile on his face!) while Raidan is brooding in the other corner, and Rook is sitting between the two hugging his alien squishie and pretty much oblivious to the tension. I love Rook - he's so hassle-free.

Lucah was lucky to get new clothes before we went out to the meet.

Lots of pics were taken, e.g:


Lucah - before his hands wandered and the trouble started


One of the dorries - whose name I didn't catch - his bravery in tackling the Travolta outfit will be long remembered, however!

Cute as ever!

Another cutie, whose name I forgot - sorry!

Because flckr is being an arse, the actual pics are in photobucket.


And because Photobucket is wasting too much of my time with pics disappearing, then reappearing, I can't point directly to the Meet album.

My wig and eyelashes arrived from Cool Cats today - yay! Very nice white wig that's meant for one of my severed heads, but it does look very nice on Lucah. My poor heads! I really need to either knuckle down and finish their faces, or give up and send them to someone else.

I got a notification from eBay that I'd won an item that I'd forgotten I'd bid on! It was a black lace shirt, that will fit er...someone. It's all paid for now and the seller will send it out tomorrow.

The pants and shirt I ordered through a seller on DOA still haven't turned up even though I was told they'd been sent again. How long does it take for things to get here from America? Not usually this long, I think.

I'll be looking closely at my finances this week and I'm very hopeful I'll be able to pay off my Mo ^__^

Yes, I managed to fit in a photo-shoot today and Rook wasn't in any of the pics. Nope, it was all about Lucah today. He's had a change of clothes and wig. Sadly, the new clothes I've ordered still haven't shown up, so he's wearing general-use stuff.

The rest are on my flickr account.

Not so long ago I was looking at some pics of a DZ Hid and thought what an unattractive dorrie it was. Last night I was looking at Moggies' site for clothes and shoes and guess what? I decided I *must* have Hid! How does this happen? How can my tastes change so much in a few months? Of course, I'm still paying for my Mo-2 but dammit! now I want Hid and Fei. I shouldn't be allowed near a computer! My bank account! My poor, poor (literally!) bank account!
