did you know that dolphins are just gay sharks?

Yo, question to anyone who has bought things from the FBR store before?

For instance, I buy a girly large tshirt from threadless. Looking at the sizing charts for both places, that looks like a adult small from FBR. Which is the size tshirt I'm supposed to get with my Panic stuff, but god knows when that'll get here to try it on, and there's a sale on now. And should I go for a small or medium hoodie? And why doesn't the TAI Heavy Heart long sleeve tshirt come in adult sizes - I suspect trying to squeeze my tits into a girls large would be inadvisable.

Really, I should hide my wallet from myself when I'm in this kind of mood, but c'mon, enable me ;)

not_nele wanted to see my new chucks, but I was too lazy to put on both pairs of shoes. Click for a bit bigger version.

It appears that my Panic deluxe edition has shipped from FBR (was I supposed to get an email notification?), yay! But the tracking number doesn't work yet, I want to be able to track it's movements obsessively.

Why hasn't a release date been announced for MCR's dvd? I covet it ::grabby hands::

I deleted a comment to my SOMH (Melbourne) video on youtube from bambistarlight. If you're reading this, sorry, but didn't want people to come looking for my lj. Sure, the usernames are the same, I'm not exactly hiding, but it just made me uncomfortable.

The Waratahs somehow managed to beat the Brumbies last night. I was at the game, and I'm still not sure how. Fortunately our seats are undercover, because it was raining for a lot of the game, including ABSOLUTELY POURING during the last part.

When I was in Melbourne last weekend, we went to to Minotaur (books/comics/dvds/geeky pop culture store). And I came home with this guy.


( who could it be? )

Back from the first day of post-Christmas sales in the city. We only did David Jones (plus a shoe store - where I got a pair, sadly not reduced), but this still meant about a dozen bags in two hours. We did well! My sister bought me two handbags (one black, one brown) for a Christmas present.

I hope everyone had a lovely December 25th (and/or 24th, for those whom the Eve is the big day), whether that meant Christmas or whatever :) We had my uncle and brother and sister-in-law over during the morning, then it was just the four of us for lunch (at about 3pm). The bbq marinated lamb with herb sauce was just delicious, with salads and a very nice Tyrrells semillon. Dessert didn't happen til after 6pm, as mum had a nap and dad, my sister and I watched White Christmas (which I then spent a while recasting with bandom people [1]). Mmmm, chocolate mousse. iibnf wandered over in the evening for a while. All in all, a very relaxing day.

::is impatient:: NEED DR WHO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL DOWNLOAD.

Apart from waiting for that, got nothing else planned today. Maybe I'll dive into the pop secret santa, or poke around Yuletide some more...

And thank you again to _lolapalooza for the christmasified icons that I've been using for the past couple of weeks :D

[1] C'mon, just picture Gerard and Mikey doing the Sisters routine - even funnier than Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye's performance ;) So Way Brothers instead of Haines sisters, but I kept getting stuck on the Bing and Danny roles - I was going with Ray and Frank, but I think brash, annoying writer Pete saving musician Patrick's life during the war and guilting him into a partnership works even better (and leads to Patrick/Gerard and Pete/Mikey).

Got the car washed and polished today. Don't do that often, but occasionally, you just need to treat the car good :) While they were doing that, I wandered off to K-Mart and got the "Gone Clubbin'/Girlfriend" remix single, and the "Singing in the Rain" dvd. The dvd didn't want to come out of the anti-theft case. The clerk had to pry it open with a chisel. At least this distracted him from asking about my choices in entertainment *g*. Can't wait to have time to listen to the commentary - Stanley Donlen, Donald O'Conner, Debbie Reynold, Cyd Charisse, Baz Luhrman (oddly, but intriguing) and many others. While I was looking at the cds, found a Soul Decision one. I think I may have giggled out loud. Hopefully "let's go back and bribe them Soul Decision boys", with a bad canadian accent, wasn't out loud *g*.

Have burnt a heap of new sparkly footage to cd and am watching it on mum's laptop. Yay for finally being able to enjoy some of the OLFC stuff that coreopsis has posted. It just isn't the same without sound :)

Those in the family that are foolish enough to be venturing to the snow (including me) are off at 5am tomorrow, until Friday.

Which means no livejournal until Friday, unless I end up using one of the net booths down at the Centre. We'll see *g*. Be well, and don't have any fun while I'm gone! ;p

Happy Birthday out_there!

I feel the need for more fannish tshirts, especially with the con coming up.

There's a place a few blocks from here that does printing onto shirts for $16, so I must ask the girl who does the South Park-esque SV cartoons if I can put one on a tshirt. Maybe with a "Every story has a beginning" caption...or an appropriate Omar-ism.

I'd also love a Pervy Elf Fancier or Pervy Hobbit Fancier shirt :)

Embroided ones...still like a FKA and maybe a trickyfish one too. Oooh, mustn't forget the "Joss + Tim 4 eva!!!" *g*.

Must pop down to places like Target and see what I can get by way of inexpensive tshirts and tops to play with :)

Over the past week during random reading, I've noticed a lot of heartwarming (or something) posts in people's ljs about their Christmas traditions. I guess we have some (e.g. I love my Disney sings Christmas Carols record), but probably the biggest is - post Christmas sales.

Mum is a sales junkie, and still drags us out to them. It's good, but fucking tiring. Was in the city yesterday morning for the first day of sales there, and was in Chatswood today for the first day of sales there. Both times, we were at DJ's when they opened the doors (but only just, very good timing *g*). Got quite a bit of stuff, especially today, but oh, my aching feet :)

*sigh*

Thought I'd bought a nice inexpensive pair of dark green pants the other day. Turned out they are only green under fluorescent lights, and anywhere but department stores and my bathroom, they are olive-brown. Can't be bothered to return them probably, they were only $24, and will still be useful, but dammit, I like the green better *pout*
