I finished with the book orders! Life was bad, but now it's good! Forever!
Seriously, though, I hope this is the last book order I do -- more and more I want to move on... I need to send out my Boston applications and get out of here for a while. At the very least I need a vacation. And not a vacation where I have to think about stuff and do things like going to DragonCon... a vacation where I can sit on the couch and watch MASH all day.
Random nostalgia: when I went to elementary school the playground had one of
these. How strange is that description? It's like a personal ad. The paint on ours had worn off... and it's probably been since declared a death trap and destroyed. I'll have to ask my sister.
Anyway, it seems I've gotten so caught up in all the glitz and glamor of making fun of LeHah that I've forgotten why I started this thing: to rant about collecting Wing Commander stuff. So, on that note...
I GOT MY SPACE LIGHT! I was *so* sure the German guy was screwing me over... but it's just that packages take about a month to get from there to here. It happened once before with Amazon.de, which I should have thought about while fretting. He also sent me two (!) copies of German WC3 (the deluxe and the regular). I'd best pay him back somehow.
The light itself is super nifty keen... it's much bigger than it looked in the picture and it doesn't seem to be hand made. It's got copywrite information and everything. My best guess would be that it was part of a store display for the original WC, all those years back...
