on thursday i received a slip from the parcel carrier which claimed that my doll could be picked up from the post office on friday after 11 a.m. so on friday i left work early and rushed to the post office. the line was from hell. total dmv sort of freak show feeling. after about 25 minutes they called everyone up who need to pick up packages. after about 5 agonizing minutes they called me up to say that my package wasn't there. because it was sent express, the driver has to attempt to deliver it to me again. the tone of the woman was sort of insulting. i pointed out what is written on the form, but she said it was wrong. i asked her if there was any way i could get my package that evening. she told me to go to the annex on 16th and bryant when the drivers returned. pissed. after a few hours pass i went to 16 and bryant and got there about 5 minutes before they closed. the woman behind the counter told me that the driver probably still has it in his truck. she informed me to go to the regular post office on saturday to get it. so saturday morning i set the alarm for 7 a.m. and got to the post office when they opened. the woman behind the counter searched for it, but couldn't find it. she called the 16th and bryant place, but they didn't have it. she told me that the driver still probably had it in his truck. she said don't waste your day waiting for the mail, just come back monday and it will be here. i explained to her that she didn't understand. i'm pretty much a mail man stalker. i know their routes. i hunt them down on the street. they know me. i'm "one of those." i left upset, knowing that i'd have to wait for the mail once again. i had loads of work to do yesterday, but couldn't concentrate because i was looking for the white mail delivery truck. three times i ran out to accost men in postal uniforms. two of them weren't delivering parcels. the other was delivering parcels, but not mine. :( after 3:00 i gave up and went downtown for retail therapy.
so w.t.f. is my parcel driver just cruising around with my doll? why? what horrible things have i done to deserve this?
to top it off, on monday i have to sit in a meeting and will not be able to go to the post office at all. or i could reschedule and go to the meeting on tuesday so that i could make the post office on monday. until i get my hands on that doll i'm going to feel like a prisoner in my own brain. seriously. i don't know how many other people totally freak the fuck out over the mail. i have a disorder. |

she finally showed up today! i couldn't concentrate at work today because i knew that she was going to arrive, and raced home to find the pick up slip in my mailbox. after going to two wrong post offices (not worth explaining) i finally made it to the right location to pick her up.
while driving home i was half steering and half trying to pry her box open with my dangling keys. poor bicyclists.. i was anxious to get the box open cause she's a really weird looking girl and i wanted to be sure that she lived up to my expectations.
after experimenting with her eyes, wigs, and clothing, i thought i had a definite look for her. but now that i play with her more, i realize that i love all of her wigs. actually they are more like hats. but once they're placed on correctly and properly fluffed, they are all pretty stylin.
i took some quick photos today while there was a bit of light, but will definately have to do more tomorrow. i can't put her down. anyway, you should check her out. i think she's an aquired taste.

do you ever have those times when you can't keep up with all of the packages you are expecting? so you make a list of what's supposed to show up and estimate when you think it'll show, and everyday is a mad rush to get home from work to see what the mailman brought. that has been my life lately- and i love it. for months and months and months i was in a dolly coma and i feel like i've finally come out of it. and so many new dolls. today my first dal (drta) arrived. i wasn't too impressed with the dals when i first saw them, but after spending too much time on flickr, i'm madly in love with drta- despite her embarassing stock outfit. and frara is next on my list. my aubrey blythe also showed today, and i'm in the process of getting her fringe situation worked out. my moof doll (lino) should be coming any day, and lati (lea) is expected to be sent out at the end of the month. many photo shoots in the near future!

with this weekend's sunny weather, boris wolf has been itching to get outside. so i did my best to make a spring-ish dress for her today, using fabric that i bought in tokyo last year. and she snagged the re-ment bunny that i got in berkeley yesterday at a very disppointing re-ment "event." perhaps i'm spoiled by spending too much time in tokyo toystores, but the set up was very uninpressive.

tax refunds are always a reason to shop! shop! shop! not to mention lino's nasty nest of blonde hair. perhaps i'll name her aquanetta?!? or is that too abusive? |

hello dolly friends... i've neglected you. failed to post entries, take photos, make comments. i've been bad. so what is my excuse? well, there really is no excuse for neglect. but i did move and start a new job and have been working like a fiend. despite what some may say, teachers do really work very hard. but i just wanted to let y'all know that you are rad. and i love the phots you take and the shit you make. it inspires me. and i promise i'll change. i really do promise. you can break up with me if i lie to you.
xoxo

moving sucks. today my goldie arrived and i can't play with her because i have to go through all of my crap. (ever since i sold my goldie, i've really regretted it and had to buy her again. i'm lame.)
her name is styx. (styx just happened to be blaring when the postwoman came knocking on the door.)
once i'm in san francisco things will get better. i'm just a little bitchy right now. |

When I was in Japan in april, one of the most memorable tv characters was "Hard Gay." So excited to find him on youtube!
Apparently, the Japanese love him! I totally understand. |

i went to my mom's yesterday, to enjoy her new pool and hospitality, but went home with her vintage twiggy doll. (had my choice between the franklin mint girl or the vintage model. like that's a choice.) it's great having a doll collector for a mother. she neglects some of her girls, and lets me adopt them. now i have to find some serious mod threads for her. anyone have any ideas? i think she fits in francie clothing.
i just love her expression. she makes me happy. and those legs!

minnie cup's pigtailed twin arrived today. rather than telling me her name, she is bonding with boris's bear. perhaps she hasn't learned english yet. she did just get in from japan. unfortunately minnie is no help, because she is korean. maybe i should practice my japanese on her a bit later. (wish i weren't so damn busy)

minnie has been asking for a sister, because the lati girls snub her. so, i finally caved in and decided to adopt a pig tailed yoko.

since i've been back from tokyo, things have been hectic. since i'm moving to san francisco in the next couple of months, i need a job. today i had a interview in front of a panel of seven people. seven. then i went home to take a nap, during which i received a phone call for another interview at a different place. i should be happy about this, but it's all too overwhelming. i just want to work at the school at which i interviewed this morning. but ten people are interviewing for two spots. i was told that they will phone me by monday, and let me know. monday feels far away. and my skin is itchy.
on a happier note, i bought this cute girl in the most amazing mall in tokyo.
it was full of antique toys and dolls. i saw different shops selling lati dolls. one was a special coco. and the other was a special miel. i also say a pocket fairy for sale. a 1972 blythe. i had the potential to spend a LOT of money, but was disciplined in retrospect. i did buy two osyalle dolls. but they are relatively cheap. so i was able to get a ton of other cute things. i'll have to post photos as soon i have a chance to sort through them. which will probably be when i finally get a JOB! someone, please, hire me. |
