"An urgent message for the cabin crew. Sleepy, Dopey, Happy, Grumpy, Sneezy, Bashful, Doc."
Oh what a day, I recieved all the orders I did in July. Which is weird, because they're from different sites, on different dates, and one of them was even supposed to be a birthday gift for myself (so, you know, next month), but apparently the stars are in position or whatever, because my room looks like Santa Claus just paid me a visit. \o/
First, the birthday gift. It's an amazing Avengers skirt I bought on Etsy. It's custom-made, so I had to give them my measurements, and I thought it would take them a lot longer to make it and ship it. And yet, here it is. The quality is great, better than I hoped. It's very soft, comfy, and the red ribbon is actually a belt, so it fits perfectly. And the best part is that with the appropriate stockings I can wear it in the winter too!
Then, the other two packages. My new S.H.I.E.L.D. bag from Etsy (the same seller who did the I Am Sherlocked minibag, she's so talented), The Art Of Marvel artbooks (a note on artbooks: when we first got into the anime/manga fandom, Mom and I started collecting every artbook we could get our hands on. We bought the first one two days before my first surgery, that was painful as hell but went fine, so we had this inside joke that artbooks brought us good luck. Plus we loved them. So now that I found out there are artbooks of Marvel movies, I wanted to buy them all, but they were quite pricey. Then a fanfic writer I follow on tumblr told me there was this special edition, which costed one third of the collective price for all four artbooks, and I obviously got it straight away), the Kingdom Hearts 3D official guide (which looks exactly like the first Kingdom Hearts guide, cue trip down Memory Lane), the second Cabin Pressure boxset (YYEEESSSSS! Best summer ever!), Carry The Fire by Delta Rae and Rock Swings by Paul Anka.
The artbooks came with a poster. An amazing, gigantic poster that made me squee in delight and do a little dance all around. I have a couple of ideas about where to hang it, although I'm an older and wiser Emperor now (and if you got that reference, I must hug you), and I'm going to put it in a frame first. I have two other things I have to frame before hanging them on the walls, and I'm waiting for the end of the summer to do it. That's because the shop is on the other side of town, I'd have to go there on foot carrying a bag with precious, fragile prints, and I'm too lazy to do it in this heat.
You can also see the S.H.I.E.L.D. necklace I bought along with the bag, it has the acronym on one side, the logo on the other.
Close-up of the Cabin Pressure boxset. I'm worried as it doesn't have the Christmas special, it ends with Limerick. I wonder if they're going to put it in the third boxset, although it wouldn't make much sense. I just hope they didn't cut it out entirely, because it's one of my favourites. Crossing my fingers here. This time the booklet is written by Douglas, we have the Hey Chief notes, a few lists (dwarves, sins, etc), a few phone numbers from various women, a Hangman game that looks suspiciusly like a grumpy Martin, and pictures of cheeses.
And yesterday I had an amazing night of sleep. I was wearing ear plugs, as the neighbour upstairs is very noisy when getting ready for bed, and has an annoying smoker cough, but the other times I used them I woke up around 1 am and took them off. This time I fell into a deep sleep, and woke up all nice and cozy just before the alarm went off, and it was so refreshing. Hurrah for ear plugs and for my uncle who told me to buy them! *_______*

I got Cabin Pressure Series One and Two in the mail as well, so YAY!!! Can't wait to get Season Three in September. Lovely, lovely series. I never have enough.

Sono preoccupata per l'assenza di Molokai, ma a parte questo super felice dell'arrivo del secondo cofanetto! E ho appena scoperto che la quinta puntata di Souvenir Programme andrà in onda il 22 agosto, molto prima di quanto sperassi! Meno male, perchè gli altri quattro episodi li ho ascoltati fino al vomito, e ho bisogno della mia dose giornaliera di John Finnemore!
no subject
Souvenir Programme è uno di quei programmi che avrei sempre voluto ascoltare, ma non ho mai trovato in giro. Sai dove lo posso recuperare? Mi va bene anche acquistarlo online, ovviamente. The more John Finnemore I get, the better!!!
P.S. - come mi piacerebbe un giorno incontrarti e fare la 'total fangirl' assieme a te! Parlerei di Cabin Pressure per ore ed ore senza mai stancarmi... e se mi ci metto, sono più logorroica di Cumberbatch, LOL!!! ^^;

Ecco qui un comodo link per scaricare tutte e quattro le puntate di Souvenir Programme -> http://www.mediafire.com/?xh57yzpggp7s2
Se hai problemi con mediafire, è disponibile anche su YouTube -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO1xDq2IU04
Tienti pronta perchè sono da spisciarsi dal ridere! :D
PS -> anche a me piacerebbe tantissimo fangirlare assieme! Il 2/10 sarò a Milano con un'amica per vedere Frankenstein al cinema, se vuoi ci si potrebbe vedere in quell'occasione, sempre se ti viene comodo/riesci a liberarti col lavoro/etc etc. ♥
no subject
Per il 02/10 ti saprò dire un po' più sotto data: io abito a Varese e per arrivare a Milano mi ci vuole un'ora di treno. Inoltre, dovrei trovare qualcuno che mi vada a prendere la figlia a scuola nel pomeriggio per poter restare in giro senza patemi d'animo. Se ci riesco, vengo volentieri! :)
P.S. - I need more Cabin Pressure icons!!!
no subject
Tranquilla, non c'è mica fretta per il 2/10, sono io che mi prendo sempre in super anticipo su tutto. ^^"
Se ti piacciono le icons che ho fatto io, serviti pure! Potessi farei icons da ogni singola battuta, e quando sono costretta a scegliere finisco sempre con battute di Douglas. Li amo tutti, ma l'umorismo di Douglas somiglia troppo al mio, quindi mi rappresenta meglio. :D
no subject
Dove trovo le tue iconcine? Mi piacerebbe tanto usarne qualcuna (with credit, of course) e ampliare la mia gamma di icone. Ho deciso di cancellare un po' di icone che non uso mai e caricarne di nuove, quindi ho una buona occasione per aggiungere un po' di CP alla mia vita da fangirl! :)
no subject
Le icons sono qui, mischiate alle altre -> http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=nausicaa83
Produco e uploado, insomma. Non ho mai fatto un post a tema perchè non penso mai che possano interessare ad altri. ^^"
no subject
Se davvero non ti dispiace, ti 'rubo' le icons con le quotes di CP, che sono bellissime! Grazie, cara! *hugs*
no subject
Prendi pure tutte le icons che vuoi! Sono felicissima che ti piacciano! *_______*

Adooooooorooooooo John Finnemore! ♥

Ti sei scelta un ottimo regalo di compleanno. <3

La gonna è stata un successone! E' comoda e fresca, e così colorata che mette un'allegria enorme! Alla mia terapista è piaciuta tantissimo! *__________*
