this is spinal snap!
Woke up this morning to laundry room floor with a quarter-inch or so more water on it than I generally prefer. Cleared space. Re-sorted laundry. Hoping to find a cause at some point. Also hope rain will stop so I can take soaking braided rug outside to dry, or at least decompose in the outdoors.
Car has thrown shoe. More precisely, thrown an axle boot. I have no idea what that is, but it is being fixed, along with the dead headlamp. I only took it in for an oil change. God thinks he's funny.
Watched most of Millennium Season 2 over the weekend. That, my friends, is some damn good TV. You get Charles Nelson Reilly as José Chung vs. a cult that's nothing like Scientology, Darren McGavin as Frank Black's dad, Mary Magdalene in junior high, assorted demons and devils, an angel or two, flesh-eating bacteria, the earwormiest pop music accompanying wonderful torture and murders, and a really crappy painting by Hitler. Best Buy's got it for $19.99 right now, and it's well worth having. (The only disappointment is the godawful extras and commentaries. A Morgan and Wong show, but no Morgans or Wong at the party, not that one can blame them.)
Made Tommy a strange hat, and finished her Comet the Wonder Horse sweater. Alas, last week I heard the dreaded Obitsu Snap!, and had to send off for a new part to fix her. She keeps giving me the whole "Oh God...I can't feel my legs..." thing, then acts all pissy when I point out her lack of a nervous system. Disassembling her and doing a spinal transplant should be fun. For me at least.

The eyes look much bigger with the glass eyes put in than without glass eyes -- how odd.
Some other reference I came across on Google showed a different brand of body with thighs that were hollowed out in the back to allow for Japanese-style kneeling, and the buyer was psyched because she could stand the doll on one foot unaided.

I went for this mold because it's got the smallest eyes of any of the 60cm Obitsus. Gretel and the other one have these HUGE eyes, and they come out all Streisand-tarantula hybrid unless you really know what you're doing.
I've also seen dolls w/double knee joints that can kneel.
Tommy can stand on one foot if I use her magnetic base. But I don't think she likes it.
