I should be doing French homework, but the assignment is so ridiculous I refuse to even try to do it. (She wants us to prepare three five minute presentations and then she'll pick one for us to do. With no notes. And because my last name starts with an A, I basically had a week to prepare this in. Fuck no, I'd rather learn one presentation and do it well than be half-ready to do one of three mediocre ones. So that's what I'm doing, and I'm going to learn to say "I couldn't do the full assignment and I feel like it was an unreasonable amount of work to expect from us" in French first.)

So um instead here are some ( Hallowe'en pictures! )

Yesterday colonize had the BEST ADVENTURE. My mom works at a daycare, so she has a membership at a local toystore, where we've been saving up points for basically the last twenty years. We cashed those points in for $75 in store credit, which for some reason you had to spend all in one go. .....So I now have $75 worth of Playmobil that I hadn't had before! Including Evil Mermaid Queen (who is for some reason making the 4chan logo face) and her Purple Barbarian Soldiers (seriously they were exactly the same colour as the Queen, it was sort of perfect). They were engaged in a bitter feud with King Culturally-Confused his champion, Sir Glowing Chainsaw-Gun-Lance, and their allies, Barbarians who carry enough weapons for their wolves to be armed too.

...I FUCKING LOVE PLAYMOBIL, THE END. (There is a point to buying these, I promise, there are Things that will come of it at some point. Possiblymaybe.)

ALSO! Yesterday NEW BIRDS OF PREY CAME OUT, have I mentioned that they are my FAVOURITE? I just. HOW SO AWESOME? Here, I'll just link to the last time I gushed about BoP. I'm tempted to do a page-by-page review at some point, inspired by nevermore999's Super Mega Batgirl Reviews.

But I can't do that now, or this weekend. Because! This weekend! My mom and lufwood_emilius and I are going to the STEAMPUNK WORLD FAIR. WE LEAVE TOMORROW MORNING. THIS IS GONNA BE SO AWESOME :D. Expect pictures!

For my own reference, behind the cut is a collection of Steam-y stuff that I am considering buying and/or wishing I could afford. From Etsy and Clockwork Couture, images are also links.
