Daddy Daughter Days: Can I Have Smore Pretzel Bites?

 

You'd be just as surprised as I was with how much you get in one serving

Boy were they good though. Messy, but good.

Kudos to my aunt for capturing my genuine shock before I dove in.

Daddy Daughter Days: Let It Snow!

 Our first snow of the season has finally arrived. My aunt is supposed to be flying in today and will be staying until Tuesday. Right now I'm still figuring things out with something dad helped me out with last night (I've got the basics down right now and have been adding some of my online friends).

KOMANEKO TIME!

Don't know the dinner plans right now. Will keep you posted, dad. 

Here's the reference for the next panel!

Daddy Daughter Days: Important Milestones

 Well first off, I'm no longer considered a "teen." Because of that, there's another milestone that I've been waiting a long time to accomplish. Just reminding SOMEBODY here to help me with it later. Remember dad? We had a deal? 

Deal executed. Happy Birthday!

Also, I found THIS on marketplace today. Sounds like the whole Rick and Morty sauce situation ALL OVER AGAIN.... 

Dad. I know you liked that "mambo sauce" but there's no way in hell you'd like it THAT much!

Daddy Daughter Days: Dawn of the Critters

 Found two Calico Critters in a go-bag at Goodwill. One of them was really beaten up and looked like it had been teethed on by somebody's pet. So I took some scrap fabric and nail polish and put together an "outfit" for him (if you can call it that.)

Might see if I can buy myself a hot glue gun to secure the casts and finish the eyepatch. 

Here's the other critter I got.

I checked their height by comparing them to my other critters and both are the size of an adult critter. So they're likely parents. Thinkin about making the kangaroo a sidekick of sorts to another critter I'm getting my hands on soon. Bruce Husky. 

Bruce is a Japan exclusive. Luckily, there's a seller in the US who has him for $30

I will not rest until the husky family is complete. 

Daddy Daughter Days: Is The Day Over Yet?

 Long workday combined with an intense shutdown prompted us going to Dairy Queen. Missed out on a ton of work because of said shutdown, but one chicken finger basket and heath brownie cupfection later, I'm SOMEWHAT better. Albeit a bit mentally drained. So I cheered myself up with Camp Camp (specifically the episode "Gwen Gets A Job" because that's one of my comfort episodes next to Party Pooper) and Kevin Spencer. 

So tomorrow I'm gonna shop till I DROP! Followed by our new favorite Greek restaurant that dad will be trying for the first time. That means I can have my cannoli french toast again.

Daddy Daughter Days: Utter Heartbreak

 

Oh well. I'm sure a lootcrate like this will show up again someday.

Anyways now I'm gonna contemplate making a video essay on a bit of a pet peeve I have with the Camp Camp fandom. 

Daddy Daughter Days: Too Good To Not Take a Photo Of

 I was gonna type a brief musing about asking my dad the all important question of "Is the concertina a real instrument?" Yesterday. But just as I was getting ready to type, I discovered that my dad's friend left his half full beer bottle inside Brittany's room... 

Don't worry, none of the Chipettes bothered to drink any...

And my old man thought the days of "I saw it on TV" questions were over. Don't get me started on the day I got to see COMMERCIALS for the first time! 6 year old Mariel's mind was blown.

Daddy Daughter Days: No Thoughts, Just Max.

 

And since today is Thanksgiving, might I redirect you to me and my dad's Thanksgiving special we made back in the traumatic days of 2020!

One of these days I will fixate on HMR again so my one friend won't stop bugging me...

Daddy Daughter Days: The REAL Pilot

 

Apparently THIS was meant to be the Kevin Spencer pilot

OOF! Not cool, Kevin! 😠

Flashback!

Daddy Daughter Days: Weird Turns

 This new Scott Pilgrim series is taking so many weird turns compared to the movie, but I like it! And I've gotta say episode 3 is probably the best one so far (no I'm not just saying that because of how much screen time Kim got).

Anyways, gonna get back to work while I have some Camp Camp playing in the background. See you tonight for- 

Scott Pilgrim is certainly taking some interesting zigs and zags! I think we missed out on Kevin Spencer last night. We'll have to make up for tonight. Maybe a double-dose..?

And in the meantime.... I'll just listen to my favorite Camp Camp episode:

NOTE: This photo was taken 2 months ago after Rooster Teeth took Camp Camp off YouTube

Not like Party Pooper was on their channel to begin with. I just watched it off Freevee until I downloaded Tubi because the former doesn't allow you to take screenshots. 

A.I. generated meme!

Daddy Daughter Days: 8 Days Left

 Gotta buckle down and get to work today. I already finished 2 scenes and have 3+ left to make. 

The frame for the scene I'm doing right now.

Relatable?

It's coming along! We're about to enter another montage scene real soon.

As Gwen once said: "This is my life now: WORK!"

And once I have a goal set for myself, I work my damn hardest to achieve it. Even if I need to combat sensory overload to get there...

3 years ago!

Daddy Daughter Days: Wild Turkey Chase

 My job gave us a free turkey for Thanksgiving. And my original plan was I was gonna give it to a friend of mine because his family has been dealing with some financial problems and Thanksgiving turkeys are NOT CHEAP (plus we already had a turkey stored at my grandma's house because we didn't have any room in the freezer at our place). 

So we went to my grandma's house to pick up the original turkey, only to find out my mom had texted her saying my friend's mom had texted saying they actually DON'T need a turkey. So now we're stuck with two and plan on giving the original one to a neighbor or something... 

Meanwhile: A CALICO CRITTERS MOVIE??????? 

Daddy Daughter Days: Let The Fight Begin

 "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off" premiered yesterday and we finally got around to watching the first episode this morning. My first thoughts are, well... Obviously, I'm really pleased with how the final product turned out. Though it would have been pretty cool to see more side gags from the movie adapted into the anime (like the Pac-Man joke which was replaced with Sonic, Crash and the Boys having been wiped out of the Rockit scene, and dad's favorite Scott Pilgrim song "Garbage Truck" not being brought back). Otherwise I like the anime so far! Will try to tune into episode 2 tomorrow since we've still got TONS of Kevin Spencer to go through... 

Daddy Daughter Days: Stuck In Canada

 Man, it seems like we've submerged ourselves into a Canadian content rabbit hole. First there was Crash Canyon, now we're currently on Kevin Spencer, and today we have the SCOTT PILGRIM ANIME!!!

Let's finish episode 9 tonight before we return to see Sex Bob-Omb.

Another one of those early Kevin Spencer shorts

A blast from the past!

New bed for Muack. Will make some room for it eventually.

Thought it would be a nice addition to the "blast from the past" discussion.

Daddy Daughter Days: A Kevin Spencer Christmas

Season 1 Episode 8 of Kevin Spencer, titled "The New Mr. Franklin." Is probably the BEST episode so far! This episode got so many laughs out of us compared to Crash Canyon and I told dad we should re-watch it next month during Christmas time (because there's a Christmas flashback\story in the episode). 

Wonder what will happen in episode 9...? 

Sounds like the Teletubbies are finally getting a new home. Mom is sad to see them go. But at least I'll be getting $10 out of it! :D Runny waaaayyyy!

Customer is coming by at 5:00.

Daddy Daughter Days: Anything Good on Netflix?

 

Thinking of 11/17/23

On 11\17 of this year, there will FINALLY be something good on Netflix besides stand up sets and MAYBE the occasional movie here and there. Just two more days... 

Until then, we'll see what Kevin Spencer is up to in tonight's episode. Last night's ended with a choir performance if you can believe that. 

Meanwhile: Working with a customer on marketplace who's going on vacation today, so they can't do pickup. But I put the item on hold for them until they get back. If the deal follows through on an eventual pickup date, I should be making about $30. 

Just a brief warning, dad... You're gonna be in for a earfull at dinner tonight. Mom had quite the afternoon...

Daddy Daughter Days: A Quick Errand

 Just got home and was gonna listen to some music while texting friends, but my earbuds broke. Do you think we could stop at the FD to get me a new pair this evening? I've got money.

We can do that! Great!

Meanwhile, Muack has made herself RIGHT at home...

Cornbread thief!!!

Daddy Daughter Days: Another Day For The Fandom's History Books

 Fenton is supposed to be delivered any time now. Who knows? Maybe this will motivate me to get back into the fandom.

GWEN Camp Camp Sticker!

CAN YOU PUT IN ON A T-SHIRT?!

YES!

FENTON!!!!!

Muack also arrived. She's on my lap as I'm typing this. Good times :) 

Daddy Daughter Days: Smooth Sailing From Here.

 Looks like Fenton arrived at the distribution center for our neck of the woods last night. He should be here right on ti- I mean, right quick. Hopefully Muack will also be here on the same day as well. 

It also appears that someone on marketplace messaged me about some plushies again. I've already got someone coming by tomorrow afternoon to pick up some Paw Patrol plushies, if they show up, I should get about $12.

Tonight, we go back to Canada and see our favorite chain smoking, alcoholic, sociopath. 

And yes, dad. I DID see the little caption you added this morning. 

Daddy Daughter Days: Same Day Delivery!

 I guess Fenton AND Muack are arriving on the same day apparently. Fenton is currently in transit and will be arriving on the 13th. (Hey, at least it's not on a Friday...)

Here's one of those earlier Kevin Spencer shorts before it got picked up as its own show. 

A laugh track?!?

Daddy Daughter Days: Life Gave Me Energy Today

 I didn't sleep too good last night for unknown reasons. I fell asleep at one point and woke up at 8 something. But despite my lack of sleep, I have the energy to continue plugging away at my work. 

Also, Fenton is supposed to get here on Monday. All birthday and Christmas savings will go towards Clarice. And while SHE'S being made, I'll be setting my allowances aside for my first (and the most expensive) non-Home Movies character yet. 

The Quartermaster!

There is a bootleg Pokemon figure advent calendar on marketplace right now!!!! 

Daddy Daughter Days: Plushies, Plushies, PLUSHIES!!!!

 Fenton is being shipped out today

Muack was ordered this morning

WHAT'S NEXT?! (I'm not complainin')

Anyways, now that Fenton is on his way, it's about time we start saving for the cherry on top. 

We've got Duane and Jimmy. All we're missing is Lil Mama.

And yes, I genuinely have been wanting to order Clarice as a plushie, I'm not just doing this out of obligation. Her ref sheet was completed months ago and I'll order her once I've got the $150 cash in hand. 

Speaking of rock stars...

Listen Here

Daddy Daughter Days: Yes? No? Maaaaaaybe?

 Got a customer who's interested in my Disney loungefly bag. Last night they asked what material it was made out of and I just heard back saying they wouldn't wanna pay what I originally put it for sale as (I was asking like $40). And I told them to make me an offer (because honestly, I just want the thing outta here). Still waiting on a response. 

Offer made - check fb!

Luckily I only have ONE errand to run today compared to yesterday. Tomorrow though. I'll be ordering Muack. 

Customer is coming by at 4:45pm. Will be getting $25 if this follows through. I'll have more than enough Muack money by then. (That or I might put it aside for Calico Critters or my last remaining Home Movies character I have to commission before I save up for that 30 inch Gwen budsie.) You could say I hope to seal this deal "right quick" huh?

Oh no! I'll have a Bluey Christmas without you...

Customer just left a few minutes ago! Gonna list a few more items on the shop that may grab people's attention (I hope). 

Daddy Daughter Days: On A Trip

 Going to visit a relative today. Luckily this visit won't be as hectic as last time... That one caused sensory overload and a car ride so tense you could cut the feeling with a knife. Unlike yesterday, no orders have come in *YET* but mom says I'll probably get more with the holiday season coming up.

By the way, I need to email my birthday list to some family members later. Do you think you can help me with that tonight dad? You and mom are in charge of the most important gift: I put it at the top of the list. I must see this list to refresh my memory.

One of many things that got me famous in the Home Movies fandom.

I'll be getting another Home Movies cake for my next birthday. Now...Who should be the face of my cake this year dad? (Don't. Say. Mr. Delicious.) Not Kevin Spencer?!?

Daddy Daughter Days: A Couple Little Nibbles

 I guess this Littlest Pet Shop house I'm selling is gonna be like the Teletubbies (which haven't sold yet) all over again! Fingers crossed I get a bite! If all goes well, I'll be getting $25. 

They wanted to make sure the house came with this fish-tank

Sounds like we're possibly doing a pickup today. Hope all goes well. 

UPDATE: They're buying THIS and the Calico Critters stuff for $40. CHA-CHING!

UPDATE OF AN UPDATE: Customer arrived on time and picked up the items. Turns out she was doing a little Christmas shopping today and her entire truck was FULL of toys! Guess I'll be buying that Muack plush on Thursday after all!

Daddy Daughter Days: A Thing Only Me And My Dad Will Understand

 

CAMPE DIEM!

The dress still fits me somewhat, I'm gonna get one more use out of it for the Ren and Stimpy movie my friends and I are filming. 

Daddy Daughter Days: Shoes N Strings

 Dad bought shoes, I bought a Max lanyard. 

This will be the second piece of Camp Camp merch I own

Anyways, I'll be off to a party in a few hours. In the meantime, I'll start sorting out Calico Village. I'm also selling two of my houses out of preference for certain models. 

Well that got dark rather quickly...

I plan to retire next year. Just sayin'.

Daddy Daughter Days: All In The Name of "Magic"

 Since there's no turnaround sheet for some of the side characters (at least... None that have been shared publicly), we'll take things into our own hands. We'll have to find some side & back views from the videos!

This weekend's drawing session will be focused on Harrison! 

t'da!

UPDATE: So much for a "relaxing Friday..." Thank God I have my friend's party tomorrow. That should make up for the sheer misery that has gone down today. I'm coming home early to address some of the misery. (Is there more I don't know about?) Other than Mimi giving me a headache from screaming around the basement, no... 

On the bright side... 

They were RIGHT where I left them, behind a couple shelves.

All I need to look for is a missing husky that Mimi probably got her fluffy little paws on. If I don't find it, I'll probably just go to Raff and Friends and pick up a new set and re-sell any extra pieces to make a quick buck. As my grandpa always said "You gotta have a backup, kid."

Daddy Daughter Days: Some Say I'm An "Agent of Chaos"

 Here's last night's progress of me rearranging my filming station. 

My one writer friend was impressed by the film collection in the back. 

Cool!

We really have to get rid of that unusable treadmill, though...

I agree. Right now I just finished moving a shelf and will be restocking my Barbie dolls shortly. I also found a bin of just random toys that I may put by for a free "curb alert" sorta thing to go with the treadmill.

I also found an unfinished project I may pick back up soon!

She had a (poorly hand sewn) jacket, but I took it off. Still gotta sew up the skirt.

I also have some brown faux fur I was gonna use for her hair, but I just never got around to actually sewing it onto her. Maybe I will eventually. 

Uh-Oh!

Saw that on Ebay last night. Might actually buy it for my mixed media shrine despite all the DVDS being unwatchable (for us at least). *god dammit now I wanna watch Cyberchase* 

Basement update

Gotta look for my Calico Critters furniture now. I stored everything in a big ziplock bag and stored it lord knows where. But I can tackle that once I've finished positioning my dreamhouse. For the record: I've already checked all the boxes on the shelf pictured. And now that you think about it, there's a toy store in the exact soon-to-be "LiFeStYlE CeNtEr" my antique stores USED to be that sell Calico Critters. Am thinking about maybe taking a trip over there in a weekend or two.

"We shall see..."

Daddy Daughter Days: The Time Has Come

Do you like listen to top 40 pop songs like I do? You do?! Well imagine our delight when you turn on that dial and CHRISTMAS MUSIC starts playing when you wanted to listen to your favorite artists. Yeah. I'm peeved too... 

I was kind of hoping the station change would've meant they'd NOT do this. Some "traditions" need to die.

Seriously, why do people find it SO important to play Christmas music a MONTH EARLY! It's NOVEMBER! We're supposed to worry about preparing Thanksgiving dinner and watching my favorite Peanuts special! Not listening to Mariah Carey! (Though, admittedly I do enjoy "All I Want For Christmas Is You.")

Maybe we could write our OWN Thanksgiving special! 

If they can have Halloween and Christmas in the middle of summer, surely we can squeeze in Thanksgiving.

Oh who are we kidding... David would probably be in on the "Christmas in November" festivities while Gwen is trying to smash the radio with a hammer. 

Me: I'm gonna finish the next episode of my animated project!

Also me: *is fixated on Calico Critters again and decides to rearrange my Ty Beanie Babies sets so I can have room for the critters*

TLDR: Basically I'm tidying up my "for sale" area so my chipmunks can still live freely in their dreamhouses. (this includes a dreamhouse I have yet to fully use as a hotel). 

I had to move some stuff last night so I could run a movie...
