I've often thought that this Batmobile was the prettiest. All those movie versions are just plain ugly. There, I said it. And I'm sticking to it.
I was digging through some papers the other day and found an Amazon gift card I'd forgotten about. And voila! I now own a Batmobile!
Warning - there will be more pictures to come.

Well, that's it. Good Luck for those who enter!
What a lovely relaxed work day compared to the rest of the week, and the past few weeks. I still did loads, and still have lots to do, but had no meetings, and finally felt like I was starting to get on top of things.
Broke off from work around 4pm and walked up to the pond with Tim (his first time outside in ages, as he's still been feeling unwell) - and saw lots of tiny little ducklings! They must be very, very new, as there was no sign of them yesterday. They were so cute - and quick, darting about all over the place, but I managed to get a few sharp shots.
One year today since we implemented our new CRM system at work. I sent a message to my colleague Jack this evening to wish him a happy CRM-iversary, and he responded by sending me a ridiculously generous gift (an Amazon gift card for a huge amount), to thank me for my work over the past year. I honestly was not fishing for any sort of praise or reward, I was just congratulating/commiserating on our mutual survival of the past year! Gave him a call this evening to thank him (after he'd made it very clear I could only accept the gift).
Friday night :) Watched the penultimate episode of Years and Years with Tim. It's so good!
I took this with the Sigma 105 mm lens I returned to Amazon. No, I didn't dislike it. It's a very nice lens. I had taken part of my tax refund and had Turbotax give it to me as an Amazon gift card (to which they added 10% ... nice). I meant to purchase the lens against that card, but instead they charged my credit card. They wouldn't change it, so I returned it. My replacement (the same lens) is coming tomorrow ... Can't wait :) ...
Shopping is all done. Thank you Amazon. Gift wrapping is 95% done. And now we just wait. Impatiently. :)
So, my contest is done! I've hit 250 followers and am now announcing the winners.
First off, I'd like to say thank you all for entering, everyone had great entries. One imparticular, done by Rongzero, nearly got third place, but just lost it, so shouts to him.
Anyhow, in third place we have Superior Idiot. What really got him here was Doom, being super spectacular, along with his Hulk and Jean. He'll be getting a shout-out post.
In second place we have Killer Moth with, Killer Moth, Kite Man, and Firefly. Not only are the figures really well done, but the backstories he gave are great. I'll be writing a One-Shot of your choice! You can message me on discord or in the comments on what you want the One-Shot to be about.
And... Regretfully, WildeMikey is in first. His Carnage and Captain America both were absolutely fantastic, as well as a very good Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Doom. sigh And yes, you get a Amazon gift card, fuck you. I'll send you the stuff on discord as soon as I get it.
So once again thank you everyone who entered and congrats to all the winners!

PERSONAL FUN FACT: I had no idea that a special holiday Bratz doll would be released for the 20 Yearz line. I was stalking the re-release of Sweetheart Meygan on Amazon when I first learned of this Felicia doll's existence. At the time, Felicia was sold out via Amazon, but other sellers had her for $75 plus. I wasn't sure what she retailed for (although I did figure that this price was somewhat inflated). But I knew I did not want to fork over that much dough for her. I was hoping I'd be able to get my hands on this doll, since my collection lacks any Felicia, except my Big Babyz doll. My Big Babyz Felicia doesn't have her original outfit and was damaged badly when I got her back in 2013. People ALWAYS question whether or not she is actually Felicia, since her skin is much lighter than Felicia's signature super dark tone. Turns out there are two variations of Big Babyz Felicia, each sporting different skin shades (I thought my doll was a Sasha when I bought her, and was shocked to identify her as Felicia). Anyways, after a few months of admiring this doll online (while checking for Sweetheart Meygan daily to see if anyone returned her and she was substantially cheaper), I began to fall madly in love with Felicia. Her caramel highlighted tresses, ornate yellow ball gown, and sultry classic Bratz facial screening were irresistible. I didn't want to have to pay the $55 for her (as it turns out is her normal price point). One day, Colleen came home with a Teacher's Appreciation gift from her work. Included in the gift basket, among some hand washes and a towel, was a $10 Amazon gift card. She eagerly presented it to me in the Jeep and said, "This is perfect! We can put this toward one of the new Bratz dolls you've been wanting!" I guess the new Bratz were also on her brain! Not long after, I noticed that a Felicia doll turned up in the Amazon Warehouse section for $10 off. This was the opportune moment to act--between the $10 discount because she was returned, plus the $10 gift card, I was able to save $20 altogether on Felicia. I always try to find loopholes to save money on newly released dolls, so I can buy more than just one thing (this way, if I did have to get Sweet Heart Meygan, Rock Angelz Sasha, or Rock Angelz Roxxi for full price later I didn't have to feel as guilty). Felicia had to journey across the entire country from the warehouse she was stored at. She arrived home on a Friday, in a battered box. It looked like her previous "owner" (more like purchaser) started to open the package but then was put off by something. I figured it wasn't the banged up box itself, because clearly they were going to open this doll anyways. Then I noticed she had a few dots of pink paint outside her lips. This small blemish didn't bother me in the slightest, especially since it procured me her for $10 cheaper. What was noticeably bothersome was Felicia's insane tresses. She's supposed to have kinky curls like 2003 Style It! Sasha. Sometimes dolls with this hair texture are perfect for display right out of the package (in this case I skip the routine washing just to prevent messing up the temperamental curls). I expected this would probably be the case with Felicia, given that she was a collector doll. I did NOT anticipate that she would have random clumps of hair product caked into her mane, along with a huge wad of hair balled up on the underside of her head. Plus, there were some curls that were super frizzy and undefined. I tried my best to salvage the curls. Usually a wash, combined with gentle detangling with loads of conditioner and a wide tooth comb, finished with a super hot boil wash do the trick at restoring this hair type. I've had several secondhand dolls in worse shape that cleaned up with this technique. But as I wet Felicia's hair, I knew I was in trouble. The wad I mentioned earlier was a random clump of unattached hair....it must have broken off during the styling or rooting process. Her hair was surprisingly easy to detangle, although it did shed as expected (not badly though). I boil washed her twice with a personal bowl and water heated in my kettle (better for dolls with especially gnarly tresses). The curls deflated a bit, as I knew they would (it made her hair a little longer, but she still had kinky curls). But after she dried, there were quite a a few coils that were frizzy and split looking. The only way to address this was to flat iron those pieces and then curl them with straws. Even so, the long nature of her hair (which is nylon by the way, so in curly mode it's annoying to deal with) would prove to be a hindrance. I imagined Felicia's hair getting caught up in Winter Ball Beauty Cloe's hands (her shelf mate). I could see the weight of her kinky curls causing her to topple over, taking anyone near her out too, because her hair would sweep them in like a tornado's vortex. And then there would be future deep cleaning to consider. When the day came she needed a bath for extra dust removal, I would once again have to tame the beast. So I came up with a plan B: I would flat iron ALL her hair and see where that put me. Since her mane retained some slight flips at the end, I thought I'd stop here (rather than crimp her which had been a potential idea of mine). I styled some of her front pieces in twists to keep them out of her face. I then added a handmade headband to make her look extra ornate (and because I felt like using my yellow ribbon and fabric roses). I even glued a few little rhinestones on each rose to pick up the shimmery designs from her ensemble. Yes, it would have been easier if I could have kept her hair in its original style (I did very much love the kinky curls). But I had fun personalizing her a bit for display safety reasons (the aforementioned Cloe I imagined her taking out), and for hygiene reasons (future deep cleans and routine dustings). I never had a traditional Bratz Felicia doll, and I must say I'm so grateful that this amazing treasure was my first. She's the apple of my eye, and she's a lovely addition to the family.
During the Jazz Age:
After freshening her red lipstick and being sure her sparkling dotted gown is in place, LaVern La Rue reflects:
"There's so much turmoil going on in some of my friends' lives that I like to convey a little optimism to my audiences, many of whom are dealing with their own troubles. I like to sing torch songs, of course, but people also need a shot in the arm when they're being entertained. That's why I like to sing that song "If You Want the Rainbow You Must Have the Rain":
"What does it matter if rain comes your way
and raindrops patter along?
The rain descending should not make you blue
The happy ending is waiting for you
...Sadness ends in gladness, showers are not in vain
If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain.
...Pull yourself together, whistle a happy strain
If you want the rainbow then you must have the rain.
So if your lucky star deserts you, and if shadows fall
Even though it hurts you, laugh through it all
Be a cheerful loser, you have the world to gain
If you want the rainbow, you just must have the rain."
"If You Want the Rainbow (You Must Have the Rain)" (1928); music by Oscar Levant; lyrics by Mort Dixon and Billy Rose
***LaVern is wearing a dress with sparkly dots that I made for her out of a gift bag. I also freshened up her lipstick (it took a while to get it like I wanted).

BOX DATE: 2021
MANUFACTURER: M.G.A.
RELEASES: 2003 Sweet Heart; 2021 Sweet Heart
BODY TYPE: 2001; 57851; pink painted lace panties; articulated elbows & wrists; bend & snap legs
HEAD MOLD: 2001; closed lips; pierced ears
IMPORTANT NOTES: As mentioned above, this Meygan was originally sold in 2003. Based on comparisons I could make online, it appears that the outfits and accessories from the 2021 doll are identical. The doll herself has the same hairstyle and facial screening as the original 2003 version. However, she has added articulation at the elbows and wrists. She also features pink painted lace panties, and a code (578581) stamped on her back.
PERSONAL FUN FACT: I desperately wanted this Meygan doll as far back as 2003 when she came out. At the time, I was just a kid so I could only acquire dolls my dad approved of buying. I admit that my father was ALWAYS willing to buy me a Bratz doll. He got a kick out of their silly, oversized heads and provocative clothes. Not to mention they made me so incredibly happy and I was constantly playing with them. I guess I felt shy when it came to these collector Bratz though. I knew that Bratz in general were more expensive than the average Barbie (thus the superior quality). I figured that the collector dolls would be outrageously pricey...not the kind of thing to bother Dad with. That's why as an adult collector I made a point of stalking some of the other dolls from the early 2000s collector series. Meygan proved to be quite elusive. For YEARS I only had her plastic angel purse...a misplaced item that came in a Lil' Bratz eBay lot. I mostly focused on purchasing Bratz on eBay in 2012-2014. Since they made a huge comeback in 2015, instead I hunted for them in stores. That meant I wasn't focusing on out of date, secondhand dolls. Let's fast forward to late 2021. I was browsing Amazon one morning, in pursuit of the "1st Edition" re-released Bratz. I was trying to corner Sasha and Jade...the only ones from the series I could justify buying. I noticed that there was a Sweet Heart Meygan for $40 at the top of the results. "That's odd," I thought to myself, "that's kind of cheap for her right now." Given that Bratz were back in "vogue" I knew that secondhand prices were extremely ridiculous. Then it occurred to me...maybe she was a re-release. I cautiously clicked on Meygan, trying not to get my hopes up. As it turns out, MGA HAD reissued her! The most notable difference was the heart shape of her package. Meygan also had articulated arms for some reason. Other than that, she was identical to the 2003 dolly I coveted for so many years. It became my life's mission to hunt this doll down for an even better deal. I was hoping she'd get listed via the Amazon Warehouse for around $25. I can be quite cheap when it comes to paying full price for things...the more bargains I get, the more dolls I can buy! It took MONTHS for me to corner a Meygan. I relentlessly checked for her daily on Amazon, as well as other store websites. One evening in late June of 2022, my friend, Lisa, asked if I could order her something from Amazon. Lisa and her parents don't feel comfortable online shopping. So whenever they need to buy items via the internet, Colleen and I do it for them and they pay us back. Since Lisa's request was only $12, I checked Bratz dolls for myself (that way we'd qualify for free shipping...win win for everyone). I didn't expect Meygan would be marked down...but she was! Granted, she was around $34...only a few dollars off. BUT, I had a ten dollar Amazon gift card that was waiting for her. Yes, I literally set aside the gift card just for Meygan...plotting to use it in addition to an Amazon Warehouse discount. Meygan arrived a few days later, sometime before dinner. It had been a hectic day...what with getting my Jeep windshield replaced that morning. I was a tad nervous opening Meygan up, given that my two most recent Amazon Warehouse experiences had been disastrous (see O.M.G. Lonestar for more details). Luckily, Meygan was still fully sealed, with only a large dent on the outer part of her box. I always thought Sweet Heart was one of the most unique Meygan dolls of her time. Her hair color almost looks pink...perfectly suited for the Valentine's theme. Plus, she sports these extra wide, angelic eyes (similar to the Strut It! line). I'm laid back when it comes to wonky dolls with facial defects/errors. But I can ALWAYS appreciate a perfectly screened dolly. This Meygan has just that...a flawlessly symmetrical face. Gazing into those baby blues transports me back twenty years ago, when I'd admire her in Kmart's Bratz aisle! Sweet Heart Meygan was without a doubt the re-released Bratz doll I most looked forward to...and boy did she exceed my expectations!

DOLLS IN LINE: Cloe; Yasmin; Sasha; Jade; Dana
RELEASES: 2004 Girls Nite Out!; 2022 21st Birthday Edition
BODY TYPE: 2001; painted shimmer panties; bend & snap legs; glittery body
HEAD MOLD: 2001; parted lips; rooted eyelashes; pierced ears
IMPORTANT NOTES: The 2022 21st Birthday Edition doll is identical, but has a code (584728) on her back and is packaged with less accessories/clothes (see outfit photo for more details).
***The doll on the left is 2004 Girls Nite Out!; the doll on the right is 2022 21st Birthday Edition Yasmin.
PERSONAL FUN FACT: Girls Nite Out! Yasmin was by far one of the most tragic flea market rescues in all my doll collecting years! When I found Yasmin (doll on left) in the spring of 2017, on a table at my local flea market, she was a mortifying sight. Yasmin was on a torso, which had no legs, and only one arm. It's not all that common for me to find broken Bratz dolls during my secondhand doll hunts. It's even stranger/more bizarre for me to find a doll that is missing so many limbs. What was most heartbreaking about Yasmin's state was the fact that this damage did not look accidental. Due to the clean looking removal of the limbs, I'd gander that she was taken apart as some sort of sadistic experiment. Typically, if a doll broke from play, there would be broken parts. Another indicator of this was the fact that little Yasmin was in beautiful shape otherwise. Her hair was only slightly messy, but was still styled in it's original do. Her eyelashes were all intact, and brand new looking. Most heavily played with dolls who have rooted lashes aren't so lucky. And to top it off, Yasmin's face paint was flawless--a doll that had lost two legs and an arm from aggressive play would more than likely have some rubs and chips in her face paint. This is a sad reality that is not all that uncommon when purchasing secondhand dolls. Many children, when they start to get bored of their dolls, turn to mutilation and destruction of the dollies as a way to pass the time, and to win the approval of their peers. Looking at this Yasmin doll reminds me of those "destroy Barbie" parties that kids at my sister's school hosted when we were little girls. At least Yasmin's hair wasn't cut, nor was she drawn on, which are also common forms of doll torture. I understand growing out of something, and that this change of interest can often lead to neglected, and unloved dolls. But I can never fathom why anyone would ever take pride and joy out of something so mean spirited, like ruining a doll purely for fun. It's not only cruel, but also wasteful, and my heart goes out to all those dolls that could have gone on to live better lives with people who loved/appreciated them, but instead were massacred to the point of no return, and ended up in a landfill somewhere. That is why I took it upon myself to rescue Yasmin when I found her at the flea market. Like one of my Kissing Barbies, she too had been intentionally harmed, and may have ended up in a landfill somewhere down the line, had I not brought her back to life. Seeing how perfect and mint looking she is now, compared to the doll I first met, makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. What a true shame and waste it would have been for this doll to have been thrown out or destroyed further! She is easily the prettiest of all my Girls Nite Out! Bratz, and in a short time, she came to be my most special too! I hope that she never has to suffer in this life the way she did in her previous one. I know that as long as I own her, she will be loved, appreciated, and respected every day!
I loved my first Girls Nite Out Yasmin so much, that the idea of getting another for the outfits was greatly appealing. I was ecstatic when I learned that MGA was re-releasing the Girls Nite Out ladies in late 2022. Of course, at $37 each, it's not like I could buy them all, and I had to wait for sales. Since I had Yasmin and Dana themselves, but none of their fixings, they were priority to me. On the other hand, I had ALL of Jade and Cloe's stuff, but not the dolls...weird how that works out. As for Sasha, I've had the doll and the majority of her fixings for years (so she was ranked as last priority). I stalked Amazon regularly hoping for some of the dolls to get marked down via the Warehouse returns. I've acquired many dolls this way, and have saved a small fortune doing so. One day, a Girls Nite Out Yasmin was listed for around $10 off, in February of 2023. We had an Amazon gift card too, that would more than cover the cost of her. After some contemplation, I decided to pull the trigger. That's how my lady on the right became part of the collection. I was nervous about the condition she'd arrive in . Someone had bought my 20 Yearz Rock Angelz Sasha, stolen the accessories their original doll was missing, and then returned her. I wondered if this Yasmin would have the same problem. If it were just tiny plastic accessories, I could live with that. But I NEEDED the extra outfit for my old Yasmin. Funnily enough, I'm more inclined to buy a duplicated doll if she can provide for my original. When Yasmin arrived, all her stuff was floating around the tray of her box. But every single item was intact, which was a huge relief. I know I didn't pay anything for her (given the gift card), but it was comforting knowing someone else hadn't cheated the system and stolen doll stuff. I can guess exactly why this doll was returned. HOLY EYELASHES BATMAN!!! It looks like she has two black crows flying out of her eyeballs. These are way too thick and long for Yasmin's face. Personally, this "flaw" makes me laugh and I think it gives her personality. Although I can see why someone would be disappointed if say they'd always wanted a Girls Nite Out Yasmin...and they were greeted with these lashes.

searching for my remote!!! i didn't find it. thank god my dad gave me an amazon gift card awhile ago...
I used some Amazon gift card birthday money to get myself this camera. It's really rather bizarre. It's labeled Aviva, but it's made by Great Wall--you can see "Great Wall" on the lens. Rebranded Aviva for some reason.
It's a replica of a Fujica ST-F, which I've never heard of.
It's all made out of cheap plastic. But it has an actual viewfinder (it's an SLR) and a light meter. It's like a toy camera, complete with vignetting, but you can tell if it's in focus and exposing correctly!
Frozen stickers and peel and stick wall decals (still in their original boxes) and Frozen 2014 Calendar. Also a snow flake shaped tin for an Amazon gift card (Christmas bonus from work). I've already used a couple of the stickers from the small assorted wall decal package, and the one for Elsa is awesome looking with silver glitter embellishments on her outfit and some of the snowflakes in the background.

Die Danbos waren so gespannt auf diesen Abend. All die Geschenke. Und manche hatten Schilderchen, auf denen stand "Für die Danbos". Also haben sie alles so schnell wie möglich ausgepackt. Sie waren so glücklich. Sie haben sogar gefragt, wie lang es bis nächste Weihnachten dauert.
The Danbos were so excited about this evening. All that gifts. And some of them had a sticker on them which read "For the Danbos". So they unwrapped everything as fast as possible. And they were so happy. They even asked how long it will take until next christmas.
I understand the confusion. Christmas it has become a big market to drink without moderation, finally paganism has come back in force, this version seems too old for you? We display one from Jesus to be colored.....There are very few of us priest wives out there, and even fewer have small children. Most Catholics have no idea there are any married priests in the world at all. My husband and I have been married for 33 years. For 33 years I've supported his shitty gifts and Christmas carols
He was an ordained Episcopal priest for about 11 years before following a call to leave the Episcopal church and come home to the Catholic Church. Finally he ended up as Santa Claus at Macy's because it was more sincere than the mass in wool coats and well waxed shoes.
We came into full communion with the Catholic Church last year through the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, in accordance with Pope Benedict XVI’s “Anglicanorum Coetibus”. Fr. Jonathan Erdman is a priest in charge of a community in formation, the Catholic Community of Our Lady and St. John in Louisville, Kentucky. Fr. Jonathan and I have four delightful children together, and one more on the way. All this to tell you how much we are confused in the mass, the Mass of Christ, it is Christmas for merchants
***
I can say wholeheartedly that few people are more difficult to shop for than the man who appears to have everything he needs and wants – your parish priest. It's amazing, there are people who still order gifts, yet they know that Santa Claus was invented by Coca to increase the consumption of his divine elixir of eternal youth, Coca has reinvented the Holy Grail.
The energetic priest is appears to be a bottomless well of living water, never drying up. The experienced priest may appear tired and run low on that energy. Yet, neither priest seems to need or want anything, though they give everything they have to the church and to God. For both types of priests, Christmas is an opportunity to build him up as he lays down the challenges of the past year at the foot of a manger, and to prepare for the challenges to come in the next.
Gratitude often comes in many forms at Christmas time, and gestures of love are the very best gifts of all. It’s true that any gift given with a heart of love will be received with sincere joy.
If you’re like me, you would like an insider’s point of view of the best and worst gifts to give a priest for Christmas. I can help with a few of my own observations.
Food
My husband and I are both foodies. We love food, and put it to good use! We also have a lot of kids who gleefully consume baked treats of all kinds. Most priests are not married with large families, though, and the amount of treats they are given this time of year is staggering. They cannot possibly eat it all! Furthermore, I know many priests on strict diets due to medical reasons – heart conditions, diabetes, or allergies to nuts, dairy, or gluten. We love our priests, so please don’t kill them.
Maybe you are thinking turkey, ham, or a roast. That’s wonderful, if the priest knows what to do with one and can store it properly. I know one priest who was given four turkeys by four separate parishioners one year. He was in a real bind because his freezer was small, and with no roasting pan, no meat thermometer, and no idea how to cook a turkey. Many priests of today were once young men fresh out of high school when they attended seminary. They became priests knowing perhaps how to cook for themselves, but not necessarily a big group of people. A big roast is a very thoughtful gift, but can be a big problem for a single guy.
Religious objects and art
If your priest is a collector, a small religious statue, cross, rosary, or Bible will be treasured for a lifetime. Most priests I know have them in abundance. That being said, my husband and I love beautifully crafted religious art given from the heart.
Beware the mounted sequined cross one priest I know received for Christmas. He may be inspired to break into retro disco liturgical dance.
Cash
Most priests I know do not have extensive budgets. It’s true, piety is a gift that invites the soul to reach for God, our greatest spiritual treasure. This year, our family experienced the profound humility of not being able to afford to buy Christmas gifts for the first time. We were in the financial position that we had given everything we had to feed ourselves and follow Christ. It was the first time I truly had to pray and trust that God would provide. Through our prayers, God answered in abundance! Friends and church members took a collection that more than provided for our feast, our children’s wish lists, and share with people who had even less than we did.
Gift cards
If you are concerned that cash may be a bit impersonal, consider gift cards. We get pretty excited this time of year when we open Christmas greeting cards and find a Starbucks card, very good for the priest who spent Saturday night until the morning with a dying man and must preach at three services Sunday morning. Also, restaurant gift cards are great for dinner or lunch, a primary method to exercise pastoral care or evangelism. Bookstore gift cards are wonderful for the reading priest – most priests are extensive readers. Amazon gift cards are great for almost any need he may have.
Wine and whiskey
Several priests I know prefer a nice bottle of wine or bourbon. I know my husband and several priest friends love these gifts. We often keep these gifts to celebrate feasts, share with others for evangelism, or just to relax after a long day. Take care to know if your priest struggles with alcoholism, though, as the stress of ministry sometimes takes its toll on even the best priests.
What are favorite gifts?
The best gifts for a priest may surprise you. When I asked other priest wives, they most often said “a vacation”. Once in a while, a friend offers their home for a special time away for rest and prayer. What a gift! Other people offer their air miles as a gift so their priest can visit family far away. If you can find a way to give your priest a special getaway, do it!
When I ask priests themselves what gifts they love the most, I hear a different answer. Most often, they love to receive a letter of support or encouragement. Priests never really know if they’ve made a difference, and Christmas is a wonderful time to tell them how you feel. Your letter will be kept in a special place for years, read over and over in times of trial when they need support the most. They also need your prayers. Remember that prayer for your priest always the greatest gift you could give, and the most often overlooked. Make a regular time to offer specific prayer for your priest, and the blessings of his life in ministry will overflow.
The best gift for one priest may be the worst for another priest. My advice: do some investigative work. If you are stuck, ask the priest secretary, staff, or member of the parish council. These are people closest to your priest, and will know which gifts would be most appreciated. Or ask his wife if he has one. (Ha!)

The 1st place prize for Identify the artist X will be a $75.00 Amazon gift card. Second place will be a $50.00 Amazon gift card.
In addition, a mailed Art postcard (my choice) acknowledging their participation. Third through Fifth place will also receive an Art postcard.
The Rules of the Game:
Posting of a detail fragment of a work of art will take place sometime after 8:00 PM EST, five days a week (Sunday; Monday; Tuesday; Wednesday; Thursday. There are no IDs on Friday or Saturday)
Correct answers are allotted points in the following manner:
First correct respondent receives 6 points
Second: 5 points
third: 4 points
fourth: 3 points
fifth: 2 points
Each respondent after that receives 1 point, whether the artist named is correct or not.. 2 points will be awarded if there were not 5 awards.
Incorrect responses will be awarded at least one point (there is no penalty for guessing...actually encouraged). The opportunity to accrue points can only happen within a maximum of 24 hours. Once the full photograph of the work of Art is elevated and the artist identified, no additional scoring (for that work can occur). (In other words, regardless of pleas, points will not be awarded for a comment/ID made days after the posting) ( Also, 15 guesses does not generate 15 points...only 1 point )
A favorite of the photograph will also garnish 1 point ( only if nothing else is ventured by the participant,…1 point is not added to any other points awarded ).
A summary of scores for the top five positions will be published each Sunday, at the beginning of each set of five photographs.
Caveats / Understanding:
Postings may be held up due to circumstances beyond my control.
Delays in posting may occur each evening. ( sorry, no guarantee on 8:00 EST, I’m a working stiff in the finance industry and there are late nights at times. – usually month end btw ).
In addition, as most of you are aware, part of the clues for each identity is a “presence/absence” notation about whether the artist has been in a prior Identity Set. Because flickr’s new format doesn’t facilitate the reading of a long list of names in a “Set’s” overview/description, those lists are also available on request. If you send me an email address that can receive attachments, I will transmit an Windows based Excel sheet with the names of the artists and the number of their paintings/objects. ( Be sure to specify which format you would like: xlsx; xls; csv; txt – tab delimited – if you don’t specify the default is xlsx MS Office-10). ( non-windows participants should request txt).
Also, sorry for the bias the timing provides those in the Americas but no matter how I thought about it… I couldn’t come up with a plan to assist Europe and Asia.
I spent most of my life thinking I would spend my entire life tearing through several books a week.
Then last fall happened. I got busy, and I've stayed busy, and I've turned into that saddest of souls: a person with no time to read. I felt the loss as soon as it happened, and in my mind, at least, I quit buying books, knowing that any I brought home would go unread.
So how then has this stack grown atop my dresser? Maybe they came from the same place that disappeared socks go? No, wait, in my house, disappeared socks go into my cat's fetish stash, so that can't be right...

1st day of Spring!
I just received my new HD Pentax-DA 55-300mm F4-5.8 ED WR lens thanks to the Xmas Amazon gift cards from the in-laws.
This is a shot taken on my 1st time out with the lens on the 1st day of Spring. Its very cool outside, grey and overcast day so the lighting isn't very awesome at all. Not many birds out except a few Cardinals. I heard this guy singing close by and was able to track his location within a few minutes. He was about 45ft from me give or take a few.
This is now the longest lens I own and think I'll be very happy with it if this picture is any indication.
A sword I bought with Amazon gift certificates given to me for my birthday. It's a replica of the Sephiroth masamune, Advent Children style. It's ridiculously long, but it's pretty, and fun to (try to) swing it around. :K) The blade is about 50" long.

Our family has a whole bunch of birthdays in June, so we always get together in June, usually for a barbecue, but this time for pizza at Pizza Orgasmica. For my birthday/fathers Day, one of our sons gave me a few Amazon gift cards and a See's Candy card, and he gave them to me in a rather unusual way:
✔ One of the cards was attached to a jar of strawberry jam.
✔ Another was attached to a can of New England Clam Chowder.
✔ Another was attached to a can of sauerkraut.
✔ And another was attached to a can of Spam.
Yes, we do have a fun family...
I'm sure it's been at least 70 years since I've eaten any Spam, probably sometime during World War II, and the same is true for my wife Sammy, but she suggested, just for the fun of it, that I cook up a meal of spam, sauerkraut and boiled potatoes, which actually sounded pretty good to me.
So, I did.
And, it was really quite good.
In fact, it was surprisingly good.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I may actually buy more spam and experiment with various ways of fixing the stuff. Considering the loads of fat, calories, sodium and cholesterol contained in Spam, it won't be a common item on our menu, but a few times a year, just for fun, why not?...

Got my Kindle 2 today! Amazon gift certificates, I love you.
I bought a couple Jane Austen books- Emma and Persuasion, since I haven't read those yet and J.A. is super cheap on the Kindle. Both books were under $3.
The set up was very easy- I just had to charge it (for two agonizing hours!) and then I bought a book. Very intuitive.
I really want to sew a slim case for it but I was a little overwhelmed by the prospect tonight since I am such a sewing newbie.
I will read it before bed and let you guys know what I think!
