actually cool stuff

stuff i actually bought

very cool shirt :3

got this awesome The Dog (tm) plush for TWO (!!!!) dollars a while back. i love him so much bro

this pochacco has a wonderful story behind him. i found him on the bottom shelf of the plush section at my favorite thrift store, next to another build a bear in nearly perfect condition. i've been keeping my eye out for the sanrio BABs for a while so i was super excited! i grabbed the pair for further inspection and to my absolute delight, i felt that familiar little hard plastic in pochacco's paw - i knew i was in for a treat. you see, build a bears come with the option of recording a little message for a soundbox that is then put into the plush (most often in the chest or paw). and chat, when i say i hit the jackpot that day, i hit the goddamn jackpot. BOTH of the build a bears i had picked up had the same man's voice recording two different, yet similar messages: "i love you baby, i always will," and "love ya babes, always and forever." well. it appears forever is shorter than we initially anticipated. anyways, i took pochacco home with his full get-up (the very nice cashier even knocked his price down from $5 to $3!) and i destuffed him in an effort to exorcise the demon of a failed relationship from the poor fella. he cleaned up great, and now i have no goddamn clue what to do with that voice box.

things i wish i bought

i really wish i had bought this goose, she's so beautiful..... my cookies would taste so much sweeter coming from her decapitated head...

oh my goodness look at this fella. i love his bright yellow material and his little party hat!!!! definitely wish i had picked him up.

initially, i thought it would be really weird to buy a pre-written post card, but honestly this is such a cool little piece of history. it would go great in one of my scrapbooks ngl. i might go back to this shop the next time i'm in the area and grab one, i'm sure they're not flying off the shelves lol.
