Poor Moé, I hope she can survive being steeped with the same ease she survives being blasted off...
5 July – Pony Angels Doll at Family Dollar Store
Equestria Girls knock-off, I guess?
No, I did not buy her, although I like the cute character illustration on the carton.
That's a fantastic Equestria Girls knock-off. And nice that they included a pony too
The Pinky St group was fun, and I liked that you have done a whole sereis of them over the years.
The box art really is cute! Too bad the doll looks nothing like it...
6 July – Bedtime Reading – Surefire Cure for Insomnia: Trying to Read The Lord of the Rings
Seriously, how do people get through this thing? It's boring, it's still boring, they sing a song, then they stop to take a nap every few paragraphs.
Each time they mention taking a nap or resting, I feel like taking a nap.
Thus, it is taking me, and Clawdeen,
months to slog through this book.
I actually love LOTR. Clawdeen and her skullette cushions are adorable!
Maybe you should start with the movies? Although the story's been a bit Hollywoodized, they are pretty good. I found
The Hobbit a lot slower... LOTR is as much about world-building and Tolkien giving you a tour of his world, as the story, I think. I liked it too and have read it twice.
Cute photo; I like the posing and lighting.
ohmmy lord that clawdeen picture!! poor girl, she needs that rest ;__;
I really like the lates incarnation of Bratz. My collection would have been bigger if they were available in Europe...
at the pic of Clawdeen sleeping on the book.
I've got a book that I've got less than 100 pages to go on, and I've been reading it for about 6 years now. It's travelled around Italy, England, New Zealand & finally up to Port Douglas this year, while I've tried to read it. And I don't know what it is about this particular book. I like the author & subject (it's historical fiction), but I just can't with the actual reading of the book.

I managed to get through over a thousand pages of Thomas Pynchon's
Against the Day, but somehow set it aside for almost two years with only a hundred or so pages to go. When I finally got around to finishing it, which I eventually did, I found the ending to be rushed and unsatisfying and perhaps a bit stupid. I think I would have been less disappointed if I had not bothered to finish it.
Reading
LOTR has been on my "to do" list for practically ever. I'm down to the last half of the last book, so I can't stop now. But like Clawdeen, I keep wanting to set it aside and go to sleep.
And now for today's special horror:
8 July – Dumpster Diver Barbie Meets Her Demise
I tried, I really tried, but I couldn't rescue Dumpster Diver Barbie!
I spotted her while I was dropping off trash at the refuse transfer site (
aka the dump) today. She is pinned beneath the entire weight of one of the huge steel dumpsters. How she ended up
under the dumpster I don't know.
Oh, how sad!
Maybe you could rescue her
head?

Oh! That would have been a good idea!
