valis2I spent a LOT less time than usual on the internet in the past two weeks. (Sorry to all of my regular chat partners!) In this time, as I've mentioned, I put up a new desk just for eBay stuff and cleaned and organized some areas of the apartment.
I also spent a LOT of time working on new eBay things to list. I really poured a lot of energy into it. It paid off. I wasn't certain what would happen, but the week before Labor Day I thought, I'll list a ton of items. Either a) everyone will be consumed with kids and back-to-school stuff and there will be nothing; or b) everyone will be online as the weather changes.
Apparently it was b, and I'm thrilled. The last few sets of listings have drawn a lot more attention than they normally do. This week was the best week ever. So I've been spending more time than ever printing things out and boxing things and hanging out at the post office.
I'm going to be home a lot this fall, which is good, because this is when the dayjob pretty much shifts into overdrive and heaps all of the work on me.
I'm still riding out the motivated tidal wave. I've even pulled out all of the empty frames I've purchased over the years, and I'm actually doing something.
You see, the normal formula runs something like this:
a) I decide to do some large project.
b) I bring it all together.
c) I think about it.
d) I decide I'm missing some vital component, which will take a trip to the store, or contacting someone, etc.
e) Project gets put back into the storage closet.
So I'm ecstatic that my usual "block" isn't working with the photos.
Plus, I'm going to put the two incredible drawings![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snapesforte made for me into frames. I'm finally just going to bite the bullet and start working on my "fandom corner", which is where the computer sits. If I'm going to sit here all the damn time, I might as well make it fun to look at as well.
The flist is picking up, I see. For a few weeks it seemed like nothing was going on, but this morning I was at skip 90 after only twelve hours, so it's getting to the busy winter season. I don't know if I can keep up. I think I have to do a defriending, or at least a decomming (I have to say goodbye topottersues, and, unfortunately, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hires_hunks.)

Date: 2006-09-15 06:42 pm (UTC)The Illyria figures rock. I have some photos with her and Snape at the convention last year I must put up! She's wonderfully rendered, and Lian gave me the rare one with her in her outfit just after Fred died and became her. *note, must get a Fred figure*
Naughty Snape is still there...but he's having a hard time keeping all these Doctors in line! Poor Snape. *pets* Illyria isn't helping much, though he finds her tight red outfit entertaining. *snicker*
The Tom Baker pic is framed with some other pics (a kind of montage thing) and was a gift from my dad who knows my obessions far too well. I have a signed Peter Davison picture too somewhere and the poster on the wall is of Slyvester McCoy and Paul McGann (and signed by PM...woot!).
Oh and I forgot my sonic screwdriver! That's also on my desk. *snicker*
I also have my geek shelves...home to my Snape wand...

Sonic screwdriver?! HAHAHA! That rocks. Utterly. I'm all jealous now!

Date: 2006-09-15 07:26 pm (UTC)LOL! Well, it makes noise too and lights up! You can get them on ebay (though you'll pay more) and in comic/scifi shops in the UK.
Here are some pictures!
Here is the current sonic screwdriver with
Barty Crouch Jr.the Tenth Doctor on the box:Here is the one I have with the Ninth Doctor on the box (though mine is out of the box and played with):
And here is one out of the box...
It's like have a wand with a blue light and little wizzy sounds!
And now I've done spamming you with that...you must take pictures as I'd love to see these pictures! *nods* Is the picture Acid did for you going up too? Wait that was done on the computer...gah...so confused!

Date: 2006-09-15 08:40 pm (UTC)Now I'm utterly jealous that we don't live in the UK! Waaah!
Barty looks awesome! Argh! I'm so totally behind in my Whoing.
I'm definitely putting up a printout of Ac1d's incredible art! Time to put the photo printer to good use, lol.
*hugs*

Date: 2006-09-15 08:52 pm (UTC)Do you get the SciFi channel?
Barty'sThe Tenth Doctor's run starts on Sept 29th at 8:00. And they're doing a huge marathon of some of the Ninth Doctor's episodes that morning from 8am-3pm that will lead you up to they start at 8. :DThere...no excuses...cuz there's always ze internets.
You can get the sonic screwdriver on ebay, but I recommend going through an American distribution place. I know one or two shops that sell Who stuff over here if you're interested. That or
beg your friends that live over there shamelessly like I didask nicely people you know over in that part of the world to pick you up one.Ooooo, home time in 10 mins...yay!
