work; shopping

[amezri]

Work was lame. Someone put in their two week notice and I'm annoyed because that really cuts the average intelligence down once he leaves. (Yeah, I'm talking to you.)

After work, I headed to Crossgates to see if I couldn't use up the FYE gift card I'd gotten for Christmas as well as the 10% off Best Buy coupon I'd gotten.

Well. After over half an hour putzing around FYE, I thought I picked up the proper combination of items: the Poison Ivy Hush figure (always wanted it), The Cutting Edge Special Edition (how did I not have this?), and three bags of candy. Yeah... I was $8 shy of spending the car din full because, apparently, the Hush figure was not $10.99 as marked, ut on sale for $3 XD So that meants I need to go back. Arrrgh.

At Best Buy, I picked up a copy of The Island... there wasn't really anything else I wanted.

Am home now and have.... erm... purchased sonic screwdrivers. Yes, plural. Because punslingerr and sweetwildandmad want one as well and we figured we'd save on shipping. They were $12.50 a piece beacuse the boxes are slightly damaged and not mint, but who cares? I'm totally cracking that baby open! Whilst at that site, I saw they had a little Ten figure, so I snagged one of those too. Woohoo!

I am a dork, and thus I use my shiny new specs!Tennant icon. Yes.

Now I'm off to eat dinner and watch Casanova.

"Toepick!"

Heee!

That is one of my favorite movies *ever*. It's just so perfect. I love how much of a bitch she is, and he can't quite figure her out past the 'I want the Gold Medal and I want it now!' attitude.

*nodnod* I loooooove that movie and had the biggest crush on D.B. Sweeney at the time XD

[veracity]

See, I alternated between D.B. and Moira. Seriously, just they were so cool.

Damn. I want one of those sonic screwdrivers as well.

[amezri.livejournal.com]

You should get one then! :D

[calhoun24.livejournal.com]

I will. Those things do look cool.

And why not? I have two phasers and one of those guns from Men in Black.

You know, when you sent me the link and I saw the other Who toys, I couldn't help but wonder if you were going to get the Tennant figure too. :)

Now every time one of the 'rents has a computer problem, I'll just walk in, aim the SS at it for 5 seconds, say "There, done" and walk out...

[amezri.livejournal.com]

LOL! You think that'll really fix the problem?

[punslingerr.livejournal.com]

Well, it depends which problem you mean, as there are two.
The first one, is the computer problem itself.
The second one, is that I'm being asked to fix it.

I'm hoping it will fix the 2nd problem, which is usually some kind of user error. Installing things that shouldn't have been installed, trying to run two or three firewalls at the same time, asking me for the 19th time "How do I attach a picture to this email?", etc...

I got a sonic screwdriver last spring as a little souvenir of my trip to the UK -- made a friend take the goddes and I to Argos to get it because Forbidden Planet wound up not having it, and then ripped it out of the packaging that night and stuck the batteries in. I got on eBay a day or two back hunting just to see if there were any made like the old school version (because I had a vague memory of having seen same at one point and could use one for my Romana costume for Dragon*Con since she had one of her own) but I was so swamped with new-school models that I quit hunting.
