Restart?

I haven't been doing a great job of updating my blogs lately. I think it is not so much that my life is busier than usual. Rather it is because my computer has become a mess. It's so full of pictures, I have nearly no memory left! I bought an external hard drive ages ago, and I finally have it all formatted (typically for me, that was a process...) and am copying pictures onto it. But me being me, I'm having trouble with the concept of actually *deleting* things. So where other people would go Step 1: Copy files to external drive. Step 2: Erase files from computer. Step 3: Enjoy all your new space! For me, it is a much more labored process. So my computer time is actually tending to be devoted to dealing with that, or to keeping my flickr account organized. Because, as much as I have clearly flooded my computer with photos, I can't. stop. taking. them. ARRGHH!!!
I also realize that I tend to treat flickr as a blog already, so it is hard to know exactly how to make the content here unique. I'm still working on figuring out an answer to that dilemma... In the meantime, here's some slightly repetitive content. ;)

I've been going slightly crazy with taking photos in stores. It's my method of saving money! XD If I photo it, I don't *have* to buy it. So here's my little report on Barbie furniture and clothing at Toys R Us. I did it comics style to make up for the fact that the photos are kind of lousy. Some of the photos are of pages in this little catalog of Barbie items that I grabbed at the store...

This last one is not in comics form because I started editing it in Photoshop before I realized that Comiclife would make more sense to do what I wanted. I ran out of time and energy, however, before I could redo it. But I just wanted to show a (unfortunately bad) picture of Holiday Barbie because I really like her. I am worried I'm going to accidentally become a Barbie collector at this rate. I want to buy her for the dress, but it's like the Sanrio Barbies - the Barbie herself is kind of cool, and I really like the package! For the Sanrio ones, I like the package so much I still haven't ever taken them out of the box to use the clothes... ^^;

I never got around to showing a picture, but I was able to get My Melody Barbie for a really good price. (Now if I could just get the My Melody Pullip too, I'd feel all set...) It's so tempting to leave her in the box, but the clothes are just too adorable to *never* use. The shoes are esp. cute!
