One Dozen Things I Love Today
Sep. 2nd, 2023 12:19 am1. Sailor Moon
As of this very moment, I can say that if I suddenly became rich the first big toy purchase I'd make would be at least one FiguArts version of every character other than Jupiter, who I already have because she's my favorite. I think I want them in this order: Venus, Mars, Mercury, Moon, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Pluto, ChibiMoon. I would also get the Zoisite Fake Sailor Moon figure, of course.
2. Charmed
Speaking of expensive action figures I would buy right away if I suddenly had a lot of disposable income! Words cannot express how much I fucking love the fact that Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Belthazor all come with interlocking playsets!
Actually, this line has at least a few variant figures. For example, Phoebe has one in red who I would absolutely purchase instead of the "normal" Phoebe, who wears the exact same outfit in less memorable colors. Paige has at least three variants - pink shirt with white skirt, pink shirt with black shirt, green shirt with pink skirt - and I love Paige so much that I might get all three. Piper is available in either a white shirt or a red shirt, and I suppose I would go with the white, since Phoebe wears so much red. Heck, I could get two in the white shirt and send one off to some artist I find online to re-paint her shirt any color I want.
3. Toys I Already Have
Since yesterday, I have opened Q Posket Terra, Punk Storm, and four sets of Doorables. Today or tomorrow, I may open another action figure or three, as well as more Doorables . . .
4. Sparkling Ice
I fucking swear to fuck, the sensation of drinking one of these after it has been in the freezer for a bit feels much better than almost anything else I can think of.
5. Vodka
It's been at least a few months since the last time I had any, but yesterday I was discussing it with my sister because of its appearance in a Yellowjackets scene, and I keep thinking about how pleasant it could be, with some orange juice or pineapple juice or both.
6. Schitt's Creek
I could take a break from Yellowjackets and watch a few episodes of this instead.
7. Chicken
Specifically, the spicy chicken from Teriyaki Madness in Seattle. If I could have some sort of job that allowed me to work from home and afford an apartment within walking distance of this place, I would move back tomorrow. Even though they stopped serving their delicious cucumber salad circa 2019 and replaced it with a considerably less appetizing bit of greens with carrot shavings and ranch dressing. I know that sounds bitter, but the cucumber salad was so damn tasty. Like, if they still made it, in addition to getting it as a side with my spicy chicken, I would gladly pay for a much bigger portion of just cucumber salad on its own. And I would never leave it in my fridge long enough to worry about it turning into pickles. Heh.
8. Biscuit Bitch
Speaking of places I would eat at again if I was lucky enough to live in Seattle. Although I would unfortunately eat here less often, since in this fantasy my apartment must be less than ten blocks away from Teriyaki Madness, meaning I would have to either take a bus or walk approximately an hour to get to Biscuit Bitch. Which would be worth it, I'm just saying I would probably do it less often. Although, actually, maybe I would hack my brain to run there and back, and then get stoned and eat my unhealthy food because running.
9. Movies
Another fun "speaking of Seattle" thing is that downtown has a Regal and an AMC within a few blocks of each other.
Obviously I haven't gone to theaters nearly as often since Covid Times, BUT these are some movies I might watch at home sometime soonish:
Midsommar
Hereditary
Knives Out
Glass Onion
Moana
And Moana is the only one of those I've seen before! Although, you know, if I'm gonna let myself watch that, I might as well also watch The Emperor's New Groove.
10. Witchcraft
One thing I can't help but notice about Yellowjackets is that Misty's Trapper Keeper of shrooms & other herbs, that she hides in a tree, is one of the witchiest things I have ever observed on a progrum which is not explicitly about witches.
To clarify, I am not saying that Misty is a witch. Just this one specific thing she does is witchy.
Also, I might be feeling an itch to read the Circle of Three books again. Which, when you think about it, is a witchy itch.
11. Key Lime Pie
I currently have one in my freezer, which makes me happy even though life sucks.
12. Nachos
Oh yes, I have plans to celebrate the weekend by combining one jar of salsa con queso and one jar of medium salsa!
