Friday was beginning to worry!

Left: Sunday, Middle: Janie, Right: Monday

Sunday: Hey guys, Friday's penpal finally got one of her letters.

Monday: Bout friggin time... if I had to listen to Friday moan about letters not arriving, one more time... well, let's just say someone was going to get her eyebrows plucked in her sleep.

Janie: Oh my! You wouldn't really... would you?

Sunday: You better believe she would... I'm going to go tell Friday about the letter.

Janie: 0_0

Sunday: *wanders over to where Friday is* Friday! There's a blog post you should read.

Friday: I doubt that. You have terrible taste in Internet humor.

Sunday: Wha?! No, you idiot, your penpal finally got one of your crappy letters. SHEESH.

 Please go HERE to check out Christie getting her letter!

(She's pretty darn funny!)

 

Friday: Ooooh! Christie hangs out with some hot mermen!

Friday: WOOHOO!!! *jettisons from chair* It made it, it made it, finally one of my letters made it! *dances around like a maniac*

Sunday: Hmm, do penpals really bring such joy? Maybe I should get one?

Janie: Oh my, this seems like an inappropriate amount of celebration! Simply too much noise!

Monday: If I kill her now, would anyone really blame me?

Tuesday: *sitting off to the side* They're all idiots, Danbo... all of them.

BONUS SHOT:

Janie: I feel like someone's watching me...

What are you doing?!

 Me: Oh, hi Tiny Evil, what are you up to?

Tiny Evil: Nuffin.

 Me: You don't look like you're up to "nuffin"...

Tiny Evil: *dives to the corner of the keyboard* EEEEHEHEHEHEHEHE!

 Me: Tiny Evil, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

A wonderful post from My Plastic Fantasy

I just found this blog this morning,

and other than being all-around entertaining...

it also has this post about taking your dolls out in public.

(click link below)

My Plastic Fantasy: Getting Your Doll Out In Public!

I think she has some great advice!

I take my dolls out in public all the time...

but then, I was an art major...

and My Plastic Fantasy is 100% right that having a camera

justifies a LOT of weird behavior to people!! LOL!

Here are a few of my "out in public" doll shots!

This one was at our local bookstore!

At the Post Office!

At the park!

And finally...

At Acen, a huge anime con in Chicago.

For the record, I don't know these girls...

at all!

But they were dressed up as Madoka characters so
I asked them if they would mind posing for a pic
with my doll, Madoka!

They were happy too, so long as they didn't
have to stand up!

(They were so tired!)

My advice for people who are really scared to take their dolls out in public is this:
Tell strangers you're working on an art project.

It's like a free pass to be a total weirdo.
Seriously.

Friday Funnies #2: Is Someone There?

In today's comic... Anna is still stuck with the sneaking suspicion that this place,

The Majokko Shop,

is really, really weird... but there's work to be done,
so she can't really linger on the feeling.

Plush Product Review: Lurky the Murloc

Today is something a little different...

a plush toy review.

I would like you all to meet Lurky, the Murloc!

I have wanted one of these ever since I saw one in person last year at Gencon...

(ok, I wanted them before that...
but seeing it up close and personal just made me want one even more.)

So, when it was time to register for Gencon again this year,
I was also re-struck with the desire to own one of these
cute little baby murloc!

I tried to order one straight from Blizzard's site, but they were sold out,
so I ended up buying him from Ebay.

I'm pretty sure he's not a knock-off...

but if he is... he's the best made knock-off I've ever seen!

He is SO soft!

And his hands, feet and bum are weighted down with pellets, so he sits wonderfully and  has a great weight to him.

He also came with this nifty bag:

Which I love... and need to figure out a use for, other than carrying Lurky.

One of my favorite parts is his hang tag:

If you play Warcraft, you know that once you "right click" on this, it becomes one of your companion pets.... so yeah... I've added Lurky to my personal inventory list, LOL.

He's soulbound to me now, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

He also came with this... and I've no idea what it is...

so if any WoW nerds out there do know, I would love it if you'd clue me in!

So, if anyone was ever pondering getting a Murloc of their own,

I HIGHLY recommend it!

It's a Penpal kinda week!

This seems to be the week filled with a flurry of penpal activity!

Anna also got to join in the fun, getting a package in the mail from her beloved cousin, Chou.

Please check out Chou's world here:

12 Mariposa Alley

Anna: I can't wait, I'm opening it!

Lookit the squishy purple stingray!!!

*happy squealing commences as she rips through the package*

Anna: Lookit this stuff! Puppies and kitties and froggies and bunnies!

A Stingray and butterflies.... and LOOK AT THESE SHOES!

Me: That sounds a little too much like Alna for my taste -_-

Anna: HOW DID SHE KNOW?? How did she know I've been walking around barefoot for the last few weeks??? Chou is amazing!

She wrote me a lovely long letter too... you'll have to put this card on the penpal tree!

Me: Yeah, this stuff is all pretty neat.... but...

Me: I think you might want to question why Chou is sending you butterfly poops...

Me: and power hungry Domos intent on world domination!

Anna: Ooooh... oh my!

(I busted out laughing when I saw the PWPS sticker on the butterfly bag... it was fantastic!)

Penpals, Penpals, Everywhere!

The girls here at the Majokko Shop are so pleased,

it seems more and more of their letters are arriving at their destinations!

Alisa was recently VERY excited to find that her penpal, the ever adorable Melany, got both a letter and a postcard from her!
