ladybug_archiveFirst, yay, it's Richard Anderson's birthday today!
So the elusive Pony plushies that were supposed to come out around April have finally made their appearance here!
... Right when season 7 of The Virginian has at long last lowered in price.
It's so frustrating when everything suddenly becomes available at once and there's not enough money to go around. Things are still very slow with work.
But I bought both Octavia and Applejack last week and I don't regret it, especially since they've already vanished from the local Wal-Mart this week. Eeep. That is exactly what I was afraid would happen and why I felt I needed to grab them up the moment I found them.
All the Apples at my Wal-Mart were floppy, as though they hadn't been packed properly, so I bought Octavia by herself and endeavored to find Apple at a different one, since I knew I was going to have a big day-trip on Saturday. I managed to find a nice, firm Apple at another Wal-Mart that day, but I didn't notice until we got home that she's lop-eared. The machine was sloppy and sewed her right ear lower than her left ear. **headdesk.** I had thought it was just the weight of the tag pulling her ear back, until I got it off and had a closer look.
I wondered a little bit whether to take her back and try again, but I don't think I will. If I had noticed the flaw at the time, I'm not sure it would have stopped me from buying her. And after having her around these days, I'm rather attached to her. And while I know of course it isn't true, I can't keep myself from imagining her feeling sad if I took her back.
Ah, Toy Story, how you encourage the already overly sentimental in their thoughts.
I also finally got around to watching the interview with James Drury on The Virginian season 1 half-set. It was very enlightening and interesting and enjoyable! I was very excited by it. I love reading and watching the thoughts of people from earlier generations, celebrities and average Joes alike. I love that Japanese saying about a room with an elderly person holding a treasure.
