soc_puppet*stares at friends page* ...Oh, goodie. Only have to go back 75 entries this time. *mutters unkind things about her little brother*
Anyway, the real reason for this post is as follows. Yesterday, I did what is becoming my traditional Sunday thing, and went out with friends (Chris, Pat, and Thalia this time - we missed you, Joan!) to a movie - Pan's Laberynth, as previously mentioned, which was good if more than a little freaky - and then to a bookstore and a cloth store. We rounded it off with Taco John's (thank you for the name correction, Pat ^^a), which was tastier than I expected. While at the bookstore and the cloth store, I spent more money than I expected (the expected amount being, well, no money what so ever). And then today I went out to K-mart, because I figured that as long as I was going nuts, I may as well go really nuts. The two days together helped to prove something I had already suspected:
Nickelodeon has my number. And I'll bet they have it on speed dial, too.
Featured here are: my Aang and Rokku action figures, a $3.00 box of Avatar 'holo-foil' valentines from K-mart, an Avatar-flavored(?!) AirHeads candy and the "flip book" stickers I got with it, and the four books I got at the store yesterday. They were $5.00 each, and I might have been able to resist if it had been just a novelized version of the show and not, you know, packed with little tiny details about the individual cultures of the various nations. (And then it turned out to be "Buy Four, Get The Fifth Book (Of Equal or Lesser Price) Free!" for the category the books were in, so I had to scramble for something that didn't cost more than they did. Ended up getting a small packet of MadLibs.) Also pictured is the half-yard of cloth I broke down and bought while at the cloth store that I will be using with my Katara costume - just as soon as I finish making the rassa-frassa water pouch.
So yes, Nickelodeon well and truly has my number, and it has it but good.
Edit: I'm still debating whether or not to scan the books in question for the masses, as they have tasty extra info and are also cheap as all hell. By which I mean "not the best made in the entire world."
Edit 2: ...God help me, I'm attempting to convince Mal (Firefly) that coconuts are imported to England by swallows. ...And that, to the best of my knowledge, is my only interaction with him to date.

Date: 2007-02-05 10:26 pm (UTC)At K-mart, yep :3 with the K-mart logo on 'em and everything. I haven't actually opened them yet, but there were some samples on the back, mostly with the kind of bad puns and jokes you come to expect from cheap-oh kids valentines. My favorite, and possibly the only one I actually liked instead of just thinking it was lame beyond words, would have to be the one that said "We make a great Team Valentine" on it.
