owlbeerOverall, it's been a good day, bar the 4 hours I spent at work. It was all going swimmingly until I hit a big snag and I'm going to have to go back tomorrow. *sigh*
But apart from that, good! I went for a walk to get coffee (so many stories start this way with me) and wandered into the comic store (as is my wont) and well, damn you James Jean and Mark Buckingham and your pretty Fables art, as I walked away with the latest trade, as I am way behind from when I used to buy it regularly, and well, pretty, like I said.
I also really need to finish Y: The Last Man. I should reserve them from the library, though I imagine I will eventually buy them.
I then wandered into what I refer to as the Action Figure Store, but is in reality the Card Stone with lots of guys playing various geeky card games in. Anyway, I go in there every now and then to see if maybe, just this once, there will be a John Sheppard action figure (there never is, if I really want one I should probably just order it), but then I spied, well this:
Keith!
Yeah, so it's not a perfect likeness, and very much 70's Keith (which to be honest, is my favourite) but that guitar and the outfit is pretty awesome. Perhaps not looking quite as drug fucked as you'd imagine, but then I guess there's only so much you can do with a figurine. ;)
And uh, yeah, that's a picture of it on my bedroom floor (on my BSG DVDs to be exact) because I bought it. *sheepish look*
It's not just me and he really does have a Morpheus from Sandman thing going on there, doesn't he?
Elsewhere in the Action Figure store (apologies for the crappy camera phone shots, but I didn't buy these):
Mick! Looking well, actually it's a pretty good likeness for 1970's Mick.
Jareth! The picture doesn't quite do it justice but that is quite a scary face he has going on there.
I also looked very hard at a Batgirl action figure, but decided that could wait for another day. Seriously.
(Why oh why did I not notice the Insert Image on the Post page till now? That was so much easier).
So, um, yeah, geek shopping for the win? It's funny how fast fandoms come back in those moments.
I also went with my recently returned friend to Let the Right One In (which come to think of it is an awesome title), which is well, a Swedish vampire movie, but definitely not your typical vampire movie and very hard to put in a genre box. Well worth seeing though, and gave us a lot to talk about on the car ride back.
Also,I am pointedly, and with some difficulty, ignoring the BSG related posts as spoiler free is serving me well, and despite some of the Dollhouse ones I did read, I'm going to give it a look.
Quite a few RL people have tagged me in that 25 Things Facebook meme now, I might do it before bed, or at some point anyway, but it's very like many LJ memes before it. ;)
Oh, knew there was one other thing. The Kills and Amanda Palmer are going to be playing in Wellington in March! Must go to at least one! (And I'm still on the fence about Of Montreal, which is quite soon).
