Don't Blink!
Tonight, I went with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
theuberbob to an event at the Alamo Drafthouse sponsored by the local Doctor Who fan club. They did a showing of "Girl in the Fireplace" and "Blink", and we went to represent the store and to sell DW toys from our vast inventory of same. We sold a bunch of toys, got to see the two episodes on the big screen, then sold a bunch more toys and went home. I was very pleased that someone was very excited to buy the Donna Noble toy. We also sold quite a few Tens, some Daleks, both sonic screwdrivers we brought and the Weeping Angel figures. All in all, I think it went well, and it was fun to see the two cute girls who cosplayed as Rose and Donna. (There was also a guy dressed as Ten and one dressed as Three, with the TARDIS key around his neck and everything.) No pictures from me, unfortunately, but Bob had his camera so maybe he will post them at some point.
In other things, here is what I do: WORK. If I am not working at the store, I am working on keeping abreast on Radio stuff, and if I am not doing that, I am usually eating (during which I poke at a video game or watch something) or sleeping. It makes me a dull girl. We are working on Furrlough #186 at present (which reminds me that I need to poke people about that) as well as a couple other upcoming books, since we're trying to get ahead. I also need to update the online store again soon.
I got into the WoW Beta, but have barely touched it. I tried out the barber shop and was disappointed in the lack of hairstyle diversity, tested the vanity pets features, looked at some Tuskarr and made a gnome Death Knight named Teenytoes.willworks has actually played her more than I have, since I would log in to try it out, then get tired and go to sleep (while still logged in on my computer...). Apparently, it's very fun, though I don't know if I like all the rampant civilian killing and general evil-ness. I mean, I play Horde mostly, but that doesn't mean I like killing innocent critters and townspeople. Ugh. Running the gauntlet to profess your loyalty to the king in the capitol city when you get to the end of the Death Knight quests is pretty hilarious though- the townspeople scream, insult you, spit at you, and pelt you with rotting fruit and garbage. That cracked me up.
Finished reading The Forest House by Marion Zimmer Bradley recently; also finished reading Kushiel's Justice by Jacqueline Carey recently. Comics-wise, I recently read NaNa Vol. 12, the new Love & Rockets, some random volumes of Genshiken and my Moomin comics. Oh, and I am working my way through the three issues of Yen Plus magazine. (I usually read during my lunch break at work...) So far, my favorites in that are Soul Eater (of course), Pig Bride and some sketchy little Korean comic in there about a dog, a cat and a mouse who live together. (I forgot what it was called, but it is really adorable.)densetsujin brought over The Girl Who Leapt Through Time the other day, and it was really very good. Recommended if you like Ghibli. Also, Xam'd: Lost Memories continues to be amazingly good. I also updated my Sims2 journal.
That's about it. Aside from the reading and occasional show-watching/game-playing, my life is now pretty much all work, all the time.
