Ow. Back pain of doom. But I was ridiculously productive yesterday; after a marathon session of miniature painting I got two gargoyles done, one pirate-ish, and one fairy princess. The which sculpt is nowhere near as nice, painted, as it looks unpainted. And I apologize for that, to you and her, I'll find a better one when I go back today. But today The Box (or is that Son Of Box? Is it determined by which way it goes or do we just start from the first Box? These are the things that keep me up mornings) is going out, and then soon there will be gargoyles. And I got one test gargoyle last night, and thereby confirmed my suspicion that all coats below drybrushing must be dark. Drybrushing must be light on dark. It works best that way.

For all those of you who paint minis and knew this and could have told me if I'd just asked, shaddup. I am notoriously stubborn about learning things on my own.

Anyway. As soon as the boyfriend gets off the phone with whoever we're making plans with today I will pack up The Box/Son of Box, get some jeans on, tie back my hair with one of my new hair ties (yay!) and head out to purchase more going out of stock gargoyles. I am justifying this purchase by the fact that Reaper isn't going to make these anymore.

Hey! lilithraevyn... if you want some of the Reaper Miniatures gargoyles they're hitting the boneyard. Get 'em while they're still there.

No, I will not buy unicorns or pegasi. They are not going into the boneyard. And I do not need more than six frogmen. I will be telling myself this all the way to Nord's.

Still have a pierced ear. My ear has not yet turned green and fallen off. Go me.

Happy Birthday almightyhat!!!!!

Look. Five.






No, you won't get it unless you read Terry Pratchett.

Gods, I'm tired. So very, very tired. Should work on the Joey-Fantine scene of Jezebel (that's the next chapter of my Riddick fic for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about) but I'm too tired. Will probably end up priming my gargoyles and then napping.

I have gargoyles. I now have about ten gargoyles in two different styles. I could probably even dig up pictures if people are really inclined to see them. Unpainted, because I just bought the bulk of them today. I saved 30$, which means I still spent far more than I should have, but all the minis I bought are being discontinued, dammit! So they needed buying. Including some weirdass wolves that I thought were normal at first and then on the drive home I realized they had three legs. What's up with that?

Oh well. I can practice my drybrush technique.

Which looks really well on gargoyles. I want to paint my gargoyles. I want to paint them all NOW. But I'm so tired, so I also want to sleep. So... yeah. Probably will end up priming, then sleeping. With primer fumes up my nose. Fun. Going to Wal-Mart tomorrow. Must exercise willpower.

Things I am permitted to buy:
1. X-acto knife/knife set
2. Black primer, assuming they have the good kind
3. Brushes, to replace the ones currently being destroyed by drybrush
4. Toolbox for paint and/or carrying case for minis. Or both, which would be eminently cool.
5. Peter Pan and Emperor's New Groove on DVD (added ENG because Disney has the annoying habit of yanking their movies after a certain period of time and not releasing them till 20 years later, by which time I have forgotten that they are, in fact, hilarious.)
6. Belated birthday present for the boyfriend since I have no idea what he wants, and may be told upon entering Wal-Mart

Things I am not allowed to buy:
1. Gel pens
2. Toys
3. Books (possibly including the Pitch Black book)
4. Movies (except Peter Pan and Emperor's New Groove)
5. Music
6. Clothes
7. Arts and crafts things I will never ever use
8. Arts and crafts things I will use once and then forget about
9. FABRIC! Unless I try the box lining experiment and, god forbid, it works. And then I may only buy box lining.
10. ANYTHING NOT ON THE LIST OF THINGS I MAY BUY.

The end.
