cornerofmadness

so yesterday I called original mattress factory to tell them that I don't know where the end plates are for my bed rails so please give me a set of rails for 50$ more. Today, OMF calls and says do you want TWO sets of rails??? No, just one, my salesperson said they don't come with the bed (for me spending that kind of dough on bed and mattress they should be free) He's like yes they do. Well go tell the salesclerk who worked with ME!

Otherwise it's been a great day mail wise. I got a belated B-day gift from

silvrethorn. Some beads, including Asian styled black cinnabar beads from the same company that I have the SAME beads from in red so now I can look all coordinated and stuff (and no, she didn't know I had those I don't think). She also got me a Monkey King Voo Doo baby. He's so cute.
here he is complete with diadem and nyoi-bo. (apropos of nothing i have earrings that look just like this without the needles)

I also got ebay stuff from Japan and China, both Minekura art books. If you want to read about the artbooks and the latest boatlod of manga I've read head here

and for some art samples (forgive the crookedness, it's a hard cover book that I'm trying hard NOT to bust the spine of getting it onto the scanner)

crooked Gojyo
even more crooked Goku

Goku and his favorite thing

this is just pretty

and random anger...i was raised Catholic. I faded from the church and the religion a good while back and there are times I'm reminded why. Leading European priests are having a meltdown because Pavrotti's hometown allowed him a church funeral because a) he's divorced b) he has an illegitimate child. The callousness of this is just stunning. The little girl is only four and she'll grow up knowing the Catholic church wanted to shove her father in the ground without ceremony because of her. How does that make a person feel? And then the church wonders why people are leaving it in droves? Maybe because they're looking for humanity in their religious leaders.
