The Massive Lalaloopsy Dollbox Update Noone Asked For

By the time this post comes up, I'll have yet another brand-new batch of Mini Lalaloopsy girls in need of doll housing. Seriously, MGAE, I have to echo the sentiments of every Lalaloopsy fan over the age of ten here: you're releasing too many of these things for mere mortals to keep up!

Not that I'm complaining. It gives me an excuse to let my not-so-inner child run amok and take pictures of toys, after all.

The Word "Futurism"

Five years from now, we will talk on phones shaped like squirming tadpole men

For a moment there I misread that headline as "... we will talk about phones shaped like squirming tadpole men."



Futurism is a loaded word. I get that now, especially after getting mildly bombarded the moment I opened Wikipedia's comprehensive disambiguation page for the word "futurism." There's an art movement, a slightly unrelated social movement, a scientific line of thought, and the odd inevitable pretentiously-titled rock album. You'd imagine that any artist would love to corner the market on the use of the word "futurism." Or "future," for that matter.

Yes, I realize I've used this image before. What can I say? I remain a closet fan.
