got the wood in!! wonder how long it'll take to sink lol. I'm hoping to attach plants all along it- the body of the branch is shaped like a nike swoosh and all those little skinny branches will poke up out of the water, so I can grow not-fully-immersed plants as well!!

tell me more abt your sword. where did you get it

christmas sword!! had a big swords/knives phase when i was like sixteen because i just thought they were neat. wanted a sword for christmas. received a sword. it's not sharp and is essentially a prop but it looks cool and it's got a good amount of weight to it. could be a recreation for a movie? i just think it's neat.

Thoughts on TV show "Those about to die"? I'm on episode 3 so far. I kinda love that they seem to be bringing peplum movies back.

just having some thoughts about the disney dolls.

while the disney ag stuff is pretty cute (if a bit lacking in quality for the price - especially the extra outfits), i am continually disappointed that they haven’t made the main outfits for the dolls available separately. I’m sorry, but I’m not spending upwards of $100 just because i want a cute rapunzel dress for one of my dolls to wear on halloween 😅

i know that not having the outfits available is likely part of the marketing strategy. lots of parents would think the same thing: “why should i buy another doll when i can get this outfit for the doll my kid already has?” as a result, ag has an incentive to not let it be that easy. if people can take the cheap way out, they will.

however, there is a huge market for princess outfits for existing dolls. i got all of mine from amazon, and there is a shockingly wide selection. unfortunately, most princesses do not have a nice quality version available from any seller - there are a handful of really nice ones for around $25 (there are some frozen ones and a tiana dress that are truly stellar), but god forbid you want a merida dress that looks half decent or a mulan outfit that isn’t a fancy dress she would hate. it’s clearly a thing that people want! heck, i want it! idk.

i’m sure they make more money this way, which means that it’s never, ever going to change, but I don’t like it lol.

i would forgive all of this, however, if only ag would give me my hearts desire: a set of armor for mulan as an extra outfit. i would HAPPILY pay the $70 that most “extra fancy” ag outfits are for that. honestly, i would probably pay even more. because NO ONE is making it. i would happily pay an independent artist on etsy upwards of a hundred buckaroos for such a thing, as i know it would be insanely complicated. however, no one has taken on the task. because its insanely complicated.

anyway. this is a bit of a ramble. i really just want to dress up my dolls in cool armor. someone please make armor for my dolls.

HPB haul 11/20/23 and other books

I ordered books online through Amazon today (Yeah, I know. I know. Bezos sucks), but then I went to Half Price Books looking for some things I was hoping to find locally and for less $.

So... I got this stuff today at HPB.

A Flame Tree edition of Don Quixote, more Flame Tree collection books, a reproduction of the original A Christmas Carol, American Gods, and a book-theme jigsaw 🧩 puzzle 🧩 that's just as shiny as the Flame Tree books.

I noticed that the really nice edition of Don Quixote was abridged, which I find silly, but I still wanted it... so I also bought a really cheap old copy that's unabridged. Also got some journals, Bukowski's Notes of a Dirty Old Man, Jane Austen's Persuasion, Sword Catcher, The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, and Curious Tides. I'm not familiar with those last three new works, but they look fun, and the wizard one was apparently a very well-funded kickstarter project.

Then I went to the back of the store to look at the old, fine binding books and had to slap myself to put some of them back on the shelf. But I allowed myself one title, for now: Gargantua and Pantagruel, by Rabelais.... Yes, the likely origin of "Do what thou wilt".

Lots of books to post later, when they arrive.

Oh, and I recently bought a cute little TST book from their own website: Goodnight Baphomet and it's freaking precious. It just teaches the 7 tenets of TST in a simple way, through rhyme and cute illustrations.

FYI, a guy at HPB told me about an app that lets you keep track of books (really any collection item that has an isbn#). Because I told him I ended up with two copies of the same edition of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall...

...and I'd started using pics of book purchases to help me avoid extra copies. It'll let you create collection titles then let you add items within each collection. It has categories for books, video games, music, and movies, but I made a collection called "Jigsaw puzzles" and just scanned them in as if they were books. The app can be found in the App Store as "libib".

Collections I've created, so far. I've barely started scanning things in. I'm not sure what to do about the occasional book so old it lacks an isbn.... 🤔

Edit: the manual entry option lets you enter title, author, description, etc., even if you don't have an isbn or upc.
