ladybug_archiveCurrently the mouse count is five caught, with at least one still running loose. I don't know how we're going to get it; it's one of those smart-alecks that grabs the bait and runs. Two were caught in the computer room downstairs (I am sooo glad my laptop is not kept down there). But I cringe to think of going down there and scanning stuff as long as mice are still loose. **headdesk.** And I'll have to, because I have a mountain of stuff to scan for the girls' church activity tomorrow! **cries.** I hate mice.... I do not want them running over my feet. Or over the scanner.
At Wal-Mart on Monday, that Twilight with the upswept hair is still there, on clearance. But then I saw my first in-person glimpse of one of the naturally human Twilight dolls. Gah. Now I'm torn between getting her or getting the one in the two-pack. I like the glasses better on the two-pack one, but I liked this other one so much more in person than I thought I would. I really only plan to get one naturally human Twilight, and I should probably forget about getting another Pony Twilight turned human, although I still really do like the upswept hair doll.
And oh wow, Hasbro is improving so much! Finally, the proportions are more logical! The naturally human Twilight has thicker arms and she looks sooo good!
And I saw something I honestly never thought I would see: season 1 of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. for sale! SQUEEEE! I thought Warner was so greedy that they would just keep insisting on making people buy the whole series or nothing at all. I'm hoping this means the other seasons will get re-releases too! And I'm honestly wondering if I should pick season 1 up. My copy is made up of Netflix surplus. Who knows how long they'll work, or if some of them even do. I haven't tried all the discs yet.
I also have two Amazon gift cards earned from surveys, and I am ready to splurge on things! Of course, deciding what to buy is always a puzzle. One possible line-up is getting most of the Perry sets I'm missing plus the elusive Octavia doll. Octavia will be part of the order no matter what else I get, unless I call Toys R Us and they actually have her, which is slightly possible since someone found her at one recently. But she'd probably be more expensive there, so I'd probably better just hope Amazon will do it right this time and not send me an opened box and marked-up doll.
Another possibility is getting The Loretta Young Show set, which is way down to $37. There are two H.M. Wynant episodes I've been dying to see for years. And Mom says she likes the show in general, so that could be a good investment buy.
A third possibility is ... well, The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. is down in price and I'm actually considering it. Maybe if I approach it like Get Smart and don't take it seriously, I'd like it? I really want to see the episode that Christopher is in. I read over an episode guide and alternately scoffed at and was amused by the plots described.
Also, the Vega$ set I've wanted is way down in price right now and I don't like to pass that up. There's a really good Joseph episode and I'm hoping that Christopher has some more screentime than he does in the cut-up television copy I saw.
So many choices.... As usual, it will probably take a little while to decide. But I'd better not wait too long; prices can change overnight at Amazon!
