Tunes and Deals and Plans



The phrase "I can't even" sometimes gets on my nerves, and sometimes feels just right for the topic at hand, depending on my mood. Whenever Floor Jansen is concerned, it's spot-on. (Also, I really want that black and red outfit she's got in the video. It's fabulous. :D)



And I managed not to overspend during said shopping. (It's incredible how much self-control you can exert a few weeks after your dad gets laid off. It would be awesome, if it didn't suck.) Looky what I found!

Finding all of these excited me a lot (HIGH DEF PRINCE NUADA? YES!), but Bunraku really amused me, considering that I just watched a library copy of it last night. :) Now I just need to find Moon Child somewhere for $3, and I'll be all set, preciousss! (BTW, I forgot just how adorable G's Yoshi is. Dawwww.) I've never seen The Edge of Love, but that's no matter. It's got Cillian Murphy, and therefore must be nabbed for screencapping purposes.

Also, I'm determined to go ahead with my ideas for selling stuff on Etsy and eBay. For a while, I'd been seriously considering it, but felt I wouldn't have the time/resources to pull it off any time soon. But now my second job is going to have very slim part-time hours over the summer. So I've decided I'm going to brush up on my research, buy a nice printer for printing shipping labels, and devote summer to that. It's worth a shot. Worst case scenario, we'll have that new printer my Mom's been wanting for years. :)

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry about your dad!! :( That's so hard. Was he the main source of your family's income?

Anyway, squee about the fandom-y stuff! I admit I am guilty of using "I can't even!" waaay too much, but it's just so perfect! ;)

That sounds like a really great idea about starting your own online store. Best of luck with that! And totally let me know when you do so I can buy all your stuff! ^_^

Yeah, my Dad is pretty much our only source of income. Me and my brother work, but we're saving the money we make for starting our own futures. Mom's been a stay-at-home mom since she had me. My Dad's got a six-month severance package, so we'll have something for a while. He should find something before then. Normally, this whole fiasco would make me react with a lot more fear--but I'm oddly calm. Not comfy, but still calm. I know that's God's doing, because it sure isn't due to anything else! (I don't like to talk about dependence on God much, because the way I hear it phrased sounds more like a bid for attention than anything else, but here, I think it's humble enough.)

Yes, even I have to admit that when words fail, that phrase fits. :D

Thank you! But you must promise me to leave some things for other potential buyers. ;) (And also so I don't feel guilty. LOL!)

I'm so glad you feel collected and calm about it all! It must be scary, but I know God is with you in all of it!! I will be praying for you and your family, let me know how things go if you don't mind sharing! <3


Aww, ok... ;)

I like all her outfits.

I'm surprised you found a copy of Bunraku in the stores, I haven't even seen it at the stores. Great find!

They're definitely fun outfits. :)

I was surprised, too. Last thing I would have expected.
