Hamstringed

I was looking at my bank account, and figuring in what I'll be earning the rest of the month from work...and counting other expenses (church, Mom's birthday, automatic savings) I realized I'm unable to make any personal purchases until early to mid June. Well, if I want to keep my bank account from looking totally anemic. *sigh*

I probably shouldn't have bought that casual Darcy on impulse on eBay, but she was such a good price I just couldn't pass her up! Or that Casual Mattel Layla - I only need Musa to complete that set now. Except the only one I found was, like, 60 euros from Germany so I think I'll just wait until something better comes along. :D

Foreign toys, you are killing me.

But speaking of foreign toys, my first Taeyang Jade arrived yesterday! I was shocked by how big they are. Somehow, I never imagined them to be that size. XD
I'll hopefully snap a few pictures tomorrow and post them up. But suffice to say, I totally love Taeyangs now, and can't wait for Shade and Clarity to arrive later this month (another giant expense, lol).

So come June, I'm going to order either some of the new Winx Italians or the Mattel Star Trek dolls. I was originally going to order another Pullip (Veritas or Prunella), but the expense would really be out of my range at that point in time. Plus, I want to see how I bond with the other three. Eheh...and since they're bigger than expected, I need to figure out somewhere to put them!

And speaking of Star Trek, I am still on Cloud Nine after seeing it last Saturday night. Seriously, one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Of course, it helps that I'm kind of a Trekkie. :) If you're still on the fence about seeing it, don't be! Go see it!

I've been watching the subs of Winx Season 4, too, and just finished episode 9. It was probably my favorite so far. The writing was better, and it was cool to see King Erendor again (looking totally out of place on Earth). The couples came off nicely as well. And Bloom talked with Helia. And Nabu. By herself. I don't know if this has ever happened before in the history of Winx! Plus, there was the awesome "Nabu eats a cookie with magic" bit that was just great. And it looks like my faves Stella and Brandon are getting back together. :) Makes me want to do episode reviews with my Stell and Brandon Italians and screencaps!

Star Trek was amaaaaaaaaazing. I expected to not like it very much, but I loved it.

Yeah, we're in the same boat almost. I totally shouldn't have bought those concert dolls, but dude, how long have we been waiting? It seems like forever, even though I know it hasn't been. I think a lot of us are in kind of a Winx frenzy right now.

But I'm happy I got them because they give me something to look forward to. I have a few things incoming that I'd bought long before, so they'll help me get through this lull.

Oh man, I so want more Winx dolls. I'm happy my birthday is coming up to hopefully get some more, but I just seriously want a Roxy doll.

Season 4 has been the best. It especially helps that the animation isn't so stiff, but really spot on this time around.
