[livejournal.com profile] monooka got her present so now I can tell y'all what it was. I got her a peanut butter and jelly charm from Pancake Meow. Because like I said inside the box, room service may have excellent peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but now M will always have one. As I mentioned, it's a reminder of a most excellent night. Excellent? Yeah, excellent.

I was very pleased with Leslie's work. I've been a fan of it for a while but I'd never actually ordered from her and it was amazing. She hand makes all those charms from clay and the detail is astounding--the little holes in the sandwich's bread were just...wow. She's gotten mentions on Daily Candy and such, which raised demand so now she typically just does preorders for just a few charms at a time but if you want a cute little present that someone's not likely to have, I highly recommend it. There are other people who do food replica jewelry but I haven't seen anyone that does as realistic work as she does.

And of course, I ordered a charm for her to honor my best friend, the other half of my brain, whom I love like lightning, rainbows and springtime. In a Neanderthal sort of way.
*You know what I love about the Neanderthals? Well, lots of things. But in this specific instance, how we react to having a boyfriend the same way someone else would react to "You have cooties" or "You just sat in it."

*Also, I like coming up with Neanderthal crew-related catchphrases for my signature on a forum. I should have really kept count. I think my favorite so far was, "I'll call M [[livejournal.com profile] monooka] on the phone!" but I was also fond of "D's [[livejournal.com profile] princessdidi] aura is purple!" Right now, it's "Drop a heart, break a name." Some newbie there accusing me of name-dropping the other day. Yes, mentioning someone's name on their band's forum is totally name-dropping.

*The other day, I noticed a couch cushion looked like it was turned the wrong way, so I went to adjust it. I pulled it off the couch and I found my headband and an imp of BPAL Hellcat, which I haven't seen since probably January 2006. I didn't care for it too much when I got it (it was a freebie extra) but the aging has turned it into an incredible scent. From no good to so good!

*I got caught up on the last two episodes of Ugly Betty last night and I know that America gets the bulk of the attention for that show, for good reason, but...Michael Urie is so good. Clips of him being hilarious are a dime-a-dozen on the internets but here's the one that'll break your heart. Spoilery if you didn't see last Thursday's episode.

*The CGI is unfinished but here is the first footage from The Golden Compass, aka the His Dark Materials movie, aka OMGOMGOMG. Again, unfinished CGI but that Iorek roar made me very gleeful.

*Paolo Nutini is making me want to go to Bonnaroo and seriously, nuclear fallout couldn't make me want to go to Bonnaroo.

*I am finally reviewing Creepy, the last to go in my loooong overdue BPAL reviews. Hooray!
