eBay

Have I ever mentioned that I really love eBay. Well today was a perfect example because it was a personal record day for me in terms of my bidding activity. There were 10 items that I was interested in and they all ended throughout the day. Half of them I bid on while I was at work (don't tell) and the rest I was able to bid on when I got home.  I did win 8 of the 9 auctions that I bid on. The 10th item I bought with the "Buy Now" option. Most of the items I won were back issues of the magazine "Imagine FX", a few "Kittie" CDs, and two used cell phones for spare parts.

The Lost & Found

There is so much to do with so little time. Who am I kidding, I have all of the time in the world, I just like to mast, I mean procrastinate (I'm an "artist", its what we do). I got 3 DVD reviews I need to finish, but most of my time has been spent on my V-Day Cards, which I want to finish by next Monday. Artistically I have the concepts I like down, now I just need to get there emotionally which means a lot of Alice In Chains playing in the background and reliving all the fond memories of all those bitches who broke my heart. Hopefully the cards won't suck too bad that I'll decide to share them with you. I really do want the world to see them, but the one thing about me that I'd really hate to admit is that I am very, very protective of my artwork, almost to a fault. I set my standards way too high which is why I hardly ever like the way they turn out and I never feel it's truly finished and is the main reason why I have not shared any of them to date.

On a side note, I got a nice surprise today. I'll start this tale by telling you that had I originally bought this item (Ignis) on ebay well over a month ago. After 2 weeks of waiting the figure never shows up. So I finally contacted the seller and he told me he mailed it the day after I had paid for it so the item was apparently lost in transit. Thankfully it was no big deal, he just cancelled the ebay sale and gave me a full refund. Now fast forward to last Sunday, I get an email from him saying it was back on its way, re-opened the transaction on ebay (even gave me positve feedback) but never mentioned that I needed to pay for it a second time, all of which seemed a bit odd. To my disbelief, this afternoon it shows up on my doorstep. In the end I thought it was really cool of the seller to go out of his way to see that I got my toy Limited Edition Collectible.

Charmain 1959

So far the new year is starting out pretty good for me. The Cowboys are in the Playoffs (even though they have lost their last few games, I still believe they can win it all) and The Mavs are on a 10 game win streak going into Seattle tonight.  For the non sports fans out there, here is a nice treat for ya. Take a look at the Sexy Artwork for January from my new "07 Elvgren Pin-Up Calender".

 And finally I got a call today from my employer to come back and do some work for them. Which will be a nice change of pace for me because I'll actually be getting paid to sit in front of a computer in Dallas instead of sitting at home on my computer all day spending money on eBay, which is what I have been doing lately.

Radiohead – “Just”

This "Radiohead" Song (and video) is dedicated to all those (suckers) who waited in those insane PS3 lines and/or went on Ebay and bought one for a ridiculous amount of money. Why did you guys do that? And also to those who are in the Wii lines tonight, which does not look to be as bad as the PS3 scene. I stopped by my local "Target" tonight (they are supposed to get 60 units) and so far there were only 2 boys in line. I thought about joining them in line and getting one, but I didn't want to have to put a big "L" on my forehead. And I really want the Black colored Wii (to match the the rest of my junk), but the thing is I don't know when those are going to be released.

Who knows though, I may just change my mind in the middle of the night and decide to get one.

PLAY LOUD!
