should be in bed
Guess they've rescued the first of the miners down in Chile! That is so awesome! Yay!
Mom was in town today giving me grief about the place (I've been working a bunch of 8-9 hour days and now with being sick, I've just been too exhausted to keep it looking decent), but she did also help me tidy it up a little, so, not too terrible. Then she basically told me to shut up later over AIM as I attempted to express my confusion over Thanksgiving suddenly being some holy family-time, since, in our house, it has never been as such. I mean, I was doing a poor job of explaining that, since with the topic at hand, there wasn't really a way to do it that didn't sound like I was whining, but ... I dunno, I'm feeling like crap physically and emotionally, so I took it harder than I should have. Emo. Emoooo.
And now I'm sitting on the floor trying to rearrange my Transformers figures. Or, at least, I'm pulling them out and trying to put them all into vehicle form, because they pack up better that way, but instead mostly find myself getting distracted playing with them and/or losing the fight to get them back into their alternate modes. Animated, for example. I love the cartoon, and I love how the toys look, but about half of the figures I own have troubles lining up properly. I actually gave up on Starscream (which is embarrassing, because he's got that morphing feature that does most of the work for you, but he wouldn't stay together), and Prowl's still not quite right, either, but I couldn't bring myself to care anymore. And the movie toys, argh. Fiddly. The ones that are well done are amazing, but the rest of them...
And maybe I need to trim my collection down some. Hurg. Especially with Generations coming out and me wanting to own almost every figure announced for it so far...
So I guess mostly I've been fussing about with instructions and trying to force parts and stopping on occasion to grab air because my lungs have decided that breathing is for chumps. Only I've just looked at the time and I need to be at work in less than nine hours, so I guess I need to get to bed now.

You sound like me with the toys, heehhee. 8D. Only most of mine are away, because a certain four footed anon things they make great know overs. :|

Oh, man, I would be so sad if I couldn't have the things around my room (what is that "being an adult" thing they speak of, anyway?), even if half of them do make me want to hurl them against the wall sometimes.

And the movie toys, most of them, are just GAH. Well, the little ones aren't so bad, but the deluxes I've got are a nightmare. D:

How did they manage to botch almost an entire line, you really have to wonder... (I think it's Voyager Ironhide that I've never even transformed because I got halfway there and realised if I continued on I would never be able to get him back into vehicle mode. That's just wrong!)

You should play with them forever.
This was a lame comment. :(
