Fandoms:
From the Star Wars franchise, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. Disparity in height is due to different manufacturers. (A certain Jedi made me say that.)
From the Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter and Dobby.
From the Twilight franchise, Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.
From Becky’s “Adventures of Katnip” blog series, Twilight’s Edward Cullen appearing as Star Bunni Keri’s “Lil Eddy” and The Hunger Games’s Katniss Everdeen appearing as Katnip.
That time I wanted to convert an action figure to The Vampire Chronicles’ “Lestat,” but when the action figure Angelica from Pirates of the Caribbean was a little too busty, I chose Twilight’s Victoria to become my Lestat.

I have another action figure never removed from the box, and that’s where it will remain.
I still frown at that Luke Skywalker one; It doesn’t look right, not just because of the size difference with Han! I like all of the superhero ones, too. Just last weekend in my A-Z live or soundtrack albums of the week for laundry, it was The Jimmy Hendrix Experience – Live at the Hollywood Bowl. Since mine are sorted by first name, I’m on J, and next are John Williams like Close Encounters, star wars, and a Boston Pops Out of this World compilation. Then, it will be Judy Garland’s live at Carnegie double record album.
I don’t remember when I started this little game, but live albums have made laundry a bit more enjoyable. Action figures too.
ANYthing that makes laundry more enjoyable is a good thing! (In my case, it’s Tom who does the laundry, because Sunday is laundry day, and it’s his big TV-watching day. When we moved to the Hall, it was the first time our washer and dryer weren’t in the garage, so I offered to start doing laundry and he was all, “NO. Laundry day is MY day!” (I think because he can watch as many hours of TV as he wants, because he HAS to do laundry.) Naturally, I did not fight him on this! =)
Apartment living since I started Virginia Tech through this very day has very nearly always had laundry on Sunday. There’s no rest for the wicked, but that usually means the apartment building’s coin-ops weren’t being used by anyone else in the building after whatever happened on a Saturday night.
lt’s also true in the hot season in this desert when it’s cooler (90 degrees?) first thing in the morning and the iWash card-op machines are all available. They have the water cooler on for evaporative cooling, but at the time, it didn’t do well in the hot 100’s-120 with dryers on, yes we do use dryers in the hot season! That’s mainly because the wind blowing dirt around kind-of-sort-of-maybe-perhaps totally defeats the very idea of washing clothes in the first place. But they dry faster and dirtier when on the line than any commercial gas cooking dryer.
So, TV or music, the building knows when I do laundry like we all know what happened on a Saturday night.
What happens in the laundry room stays in the laundry room. 😉
Wow. The Spy vs Spy duo take me back! You must have hundreds of dolls and figurines.
I wonder when the US will be ready for a female political leader? It’s got to happen some day.
We’ve missed two potential women in that role who would both have been more than able to handle it. Right now, even though their guy won, people are behaving horribly toward women. The stories I’m hearing and reading are disturbing. But there is a lot of denial among Trump voters that this is happening. I guess until it affects someone in their family or from among their friends, it’s not real. And people question why I don’t leave my property very often.
