Ahhh, yes. L and his oral fixation...

Just got finished replying to my Yahoo! mail. Mostly I use it for my fandom related stuff, but it's also where I receive my LJ replies. I had 21 this time, which I like. It takes time to reply back to them, but I don't really mind...

Today I go over and help my aunt with the pricing and stuff of grandma's things. I know nothing of how to judge the value of stuff, so hopefully I'll be able to do OK. This is what's really going to take a lot of time since there's quite a bit to go through.

Mom wants me to pick her up a little early since she wants to go and get her haircut. I need to call and see if my hairdresser is back from maternity leave and what her hours are, because my hair needs cut too. I was going to color it, but I think I'll wait a while for that. The haircut is more important. It's starting to annoy me.

I've been watching the special on VH-1 called "I Love Toys" and I tell ya, they're really bringing me back. I'm familiar with a lot of the toys they've been showing on there. I had a lot of them, too. I don't know why I like the nostalgia shows like I do. It's just fun I guess. And that's the point. To be entertained.

I've got a few more icon ideas brewing around, but I don't know when I'll be able to get them done. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I went and got 'Howl's Moving Castle' yesterday. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but hopefully soon. I also got 'Bambi II' and I was able to watch it. It was pretty cute!

I was able to spot Takada in DN 4 (with some help from [livejournal.com profile] flamika. Thank you). And she looks relatively normal when we first see her. Just a normal college co-ed who's pretty and popular. Fast forward to most recently when she's a member of Light's Legion of Doom... and pays the price for it. Mikami interests me though, I mean, from the scant images I've seen, he's pretty hot. A little warped maybe, but hot none the less...

Trivia of the day: The Hope diamond was acquired by King Louis XIV in 1668. It was worn 120 years later by Marie Antoinette and it now resides in the Smithsonian Institution. This beautiful natural blue diamond weighs 44.5 carats today. <-- I've actually been to the Smithsonian and seen it!

I got Bambi 2 recently as well, and I also enjoyed it. It was nice to see that the Great Prince also felt loss. And Bambi's dream...that made me cry... ^_^; I still need to see Howl's Moving Castle though.

Hehe, I hope you don't mind that I added you. You have a degree in psychology? Awesomeness. Then you'll find this interesting, hehe. I actually initially made this lj for a persona I developed, which I have a compulsion to do occaisionally, but the persona is successfully merging so I'm gonna keep this as my creative journal. Y'know, to put creative stuffs on. I actually was gonna add you as [livejournal.com profile] pathseeker and I probably still will, b/c I don't think I'd mind so much if most people know that I am pathseeker. Oh, and btw, I found you through [livejournal.com profile] zelaminomiko

I went and got Howl's Moving Castle as well!! It was between that and Harry Potter, and I chose HMC because I saw it almost a year ago this summer and loved it so much that I've been looking for it ever since! Have you read the book as well?

"I love toys" is awesome!!! Good good memories. Ah I love the erector set bit they did with Golbert Godfrey (sp?) It was classic.

Funny looking back on the toys that they had compared to what's available now...not that I've been looking at the toy aisle lately or anything lol =P

I can't price a thing, I'm hopeless at it. ^^;;

Lord, I love nostalgia stuff like that. I found this awesome site for it, too. www.retrojunk.com All sorts of TV series openings, commercials, and random crap. ^^
