"I go barefoot, barefoot, barefoot!"

(as the hen says in The Tale of Mrs Tiggywinkle) And my dolls shall continue to walk, or take the sheep when they want to go anywhere. Well, except for Barbarian Raider Barbie, who has a war pony.

I spent a while yesterday searching for an appropriate jeep for PskBarbie to use as her command vehicle in the takeover of Cuba. (ok, I admit, she's been slacking off on this campaign recently, but a couple of accessories could be just what she needs to get back on track) And all the Barbie-brand jeeps are too girly and round of corners and don't look the least bit durable. GI Joe ones come out in the large size about once a decade, and thus are difficult to come by, and the cool remote control ones tend to have far larger tires and are probably quite incapable of drinking coffee.

(speaking of which, I looked up the official mp3 discs of the original HHGuide radioplays, and they are back out of print again. And admittedly, I have most of them. Just in the second half bits start going missing/corrupted-- there's a whole track missing where Jeltz wipes out half is fleet in fit the about ninth, and then most of the bits with Lintilla have weird and unacceptable static in them. And the last two episodes have about half of my favorite parts! It is very sad.)

Um. And then there's this motorcycle on the doll forum. Which Waif totally doesn't need at all, and most likely wouldn't know what to do with. But it's red, and shiny. And cheap... (except for shipping...)

---and no, I haven't done any writing since last we spoke.
