random, because my mood is BAD.
I'm gonna kill this laptop, it doesn't stop whirring and muttering. *kicks* had to fix the case with some cyanoacrilate because I inadvertently drop it on the floor. Uh. Eh. Shit happens.

I was going to photograph my beautiful Starbucks' mug (♥) but then I realized IT'S NO DOLL. Ah, the horror. I guess it will serve as backdrop in one of the next photoshoots anyway. ;'D *laughs* Oh, how I love Starbucks. I wonder why they don't open a shop here in Italy. *Java chip frappuccino addicted*

Today's been quite a crappy day, I hope things will clear tomorrow. I'm a bit tired because I haven't moved my eyes from the monitor since 9:30 am and I didn't really sleep well yesterday night, but tomorrow's Friday and the weekend's coming, so I can't really complain.

I should be in bed, dammit. Not surfing for dolls. Ach. :P

Comeback.
What a boring morning. I'm at work with little to do... luckily, I can surf the net in the meanwhile.

Istanbul was nice and hot, I almost had a Re-entry shock when I came back (it's snowing here ;__;) and I feel veeeeery lazy and weak, as usual. I guess nothing really changed from the past year, uh? *laughs*

Dollies news: I was able to get those two lovely repaints, which should get here in a few days, customs permitting. I just discovered the artist's website and there's plenty of nice dolls to see! I'm in love with a custom Twiggy he made out of a Poppy Parker doll, which looks incredible. I think I'll add him to my 'fav sellers' list on eBay... *evil glare* :'D

ETA: Ach, I knew! One of my all-time fav custom has been painted by Park! Awww. I want one like that!

Now I need two nice korean names for them! I was checking manhwa and tv dramas to find some inspirations (because they really seem the kind of couple you could find in a shojo), but I had no luck. :P Suggestions, anyone?


Speaking of repaints, I suddenly realized I put aside the whole "let's send some little people to Amanda for a new faceup" thing... whoops. Sorry Amanda! You were so kind, I just had some other non-dollies things that cluttered my mind in the meanwhile. >__>; *coughcoughsoundslikeanexcusecough* (and I still have to figure out how to send things to Alaska, by the way. Err. >__>; <- feels guilty)

Late Christmas wish...
I've just found two lovely repaints on evilBay - oh please please PLEASE let them be mine! >__<
(I have only 300$ left on my credit card, can't use the dang BIN option... and there are 3 days left. I just hope the whole fandom is broke and/or too busy with Christmas dinners and the like to pay attention to those auctions...)

Bambola da duecentocinquanta soldi bloccata in dogana, come d'uopo.
Presa dalla disperazione, a mezzogiorno spedisco una mail con tutto l'occorrente al signor Stefano, impiegato in quel di Lonate Pozzolo [*] (che penso mi odi) e MAGICAMENTE il mio pacco risulta sdoganato alle quattro di pomeriggio.
O c'ho culo io (ma non credo, visti i tempi soliti) o il signor Stefano ha fatto il miracolo.

Grazie, signor Stefano.

E domani, cento e passa soldi di pizzo alle poste demmèrda! Li spendessero in Imodium, almeno. :/

[*] che è dietro al mio ufficio. Se andavo a piedi io, facevo prima.

Yeah, I only talk about dolls, sickness and, uhm, dolls?
I'm eating popsicles, in November, because that's the only way to keep my aching throat quiet. I'm not even sure if these 'remnants' are edible anymore. Whatever.
Allan arrived - quite a surprise, Dad didn't tell me there was a parcel waiting for me - and he's so unbelievably gorgeous I could cry. Seriously, he's in MINT shape, dressed in an original - albeit not complete - Army & Air Force outfit and I paid none for him. I wanted an Allan for so long, and he's a rare find. ;___;

(I hope Ricky and the two Skooters are in mint shape, too. *crossing fingers*)

That said, that damned expensive Unoa boy is currently blocked at the customs. I can feel a huge ransom incoming. :/

I'm totally devastated by this flu. This morning wasn't so bad but it got worse as hours go by. I told my colleagues that I'd have been back in the office by Wednesday, but at this point I'm not sure I'll be able to. I'm wondering if I need to contact the doctor and ask for a sick note (even if I don't legally need to show it) just to have something more powerful than my words to prove the situation.

Agh. my brain's goig to explode. >__>;
