He says one of his favorites is his Nick Cave Doll.

We are dollied. redcountess and arkady's doll bodies arrived yesterday, giving Liz's doll Ren (whose face Arkady will be redoing) and Arkady's doll Eric bodies, not just floating heads. They spent all yesterday afternoon and evening playing with them, while I did Wikipedia stuff. Polyamory tip: get your loved ones a new common interest, then you can get on with important geeking. redcountess.co.uk is on We-Fix Tech as well, so we can easily set up Gallery for her there for doll photos.

Djarum Reds are crap and I'm back on the Blacks, which just leave my mouth tasting like an ashtray, even to me. Mykretek.com didn't even take my money. Huh? They apparently didn't take valkyriekaren's, either. Tips on Gudang outlets who will actually sell you the damn things would be most welcomed.

Tonight is date night with Arkady. Neither of us have been to Synthetic Culture as yet, though Arkady is really not in the mood for a bleepy club, so it'll probably be the Dev again. Anyone else going?

Bongwater - Nick Cave Doll

(I love this song - I used to have an MP3 of it after it being referenced in a short story I read once, but I lost it somewhere)

"And I thought wow, that's sad.
and then I thought, they have Nick Cave dolls now? I waaaaaant one!"

I should be in London tomorrow in the day time, assuming I wake up early enough to get a decent time train down. As I'll be visiting a friend in hospital.

If you're up for it/able to etc give us a shout and maybe we can meet up or sommat.

I have to be home in time for Sainsbury delivery at five ... but will see what can be done.

[ickle-yuki.livejournal.com]

I need to check what the visiting times are etc first. But I'll probably be about somewhere.

Only problem being I've currently got no mobile phone!

SC wasn't that great last month - am giving it a miss tonight. Might slime tomorrow night though (although have a date on Sunday, so might not be sensible to do so).

Am I the only person who finds those dolls rather creepy?

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

No, I do too. Uncanny valley.

[reddragdiva]

They hit many people right in the uncally valley. Since I will talk about the dolls a lot, but have several readers who don't like the things at all, I try to make it reasonably clear from context what's likely to be a doll link (as above).

they don't creep me out, but i also really don't see the point of them. i mean, they're dolls...

[arkady.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you probably have an interest or two that most doll people would also find pointless.

[siani-hedgehog.livejournal.com]

yep. at least they don't give me the screaming heebie jeebies. :)

[ejde.livejournal.com]

Me too.

[arkady.livejournal.com]

Then don't look at them. No-one's forcing you to click the links.

[ejde.livejournal.com]

I don't click anymore...I was just sharing that they are not to my tastes. Which why it's great that they are hidden behind links.

[arkady.livejournal.com]

If you don't like them, don't look. It's not as if anyone's exactly forcing you to look at the pictures, after all - only your own curiosity.
