American Girl is "retiring" the Felicity doll!
First they retire Kirsten, now the spunky colonial redhead? But we can have that stupid hippie chick and call it history? (For the record - the eagles haven't done anything for me lately).
I'm actually pretty upset about this - I have the Kirsten doll (got it for Christmas when I was ten), but I've always wanted the Felicity doll too. You know, without Felicity's time period, there wouldn't be an "American" Girl dolls collection. It'd be the British Commonwealth States of something-something... who the heck knows. But this is ridiculous. If you're going to scrap the historical dolls in favor of the present-day large-format Barbie dolls, do it all in one fell swoop - stop this stupid whittling-it-down-one-piece-at-a-time crap.
This is not the American Girl of my childhood. I rue the day that Pleasant Company sold out to Mattel.

You Sunk It!
Oy - I've been working on my final interview project for my 802 class all morning (except a quick lunch break). I finally decided to take a breather and watch my DVR'd "Big Bang Theory." Spoilers (and a few mentions of last night's "24").
***SPOILERS FOR LAST NIGHT'S "THE BIG BANG THEORY***
Last night was not a good night in the shipping department. First, Jack/Renee falls victim to the "Jack needs motivation for the next six hours" ploy and now Leonard/Penny is heading toward the iceberg. I am very sad and upset and I need ice cream now...
I could almost forgive Wil Wheaton for tricking Sheldon in the whatever-card-tournament the last time he came around, but now I think that Wil Wheaton is the biggest douche - EVAR!! I've never watched "Star Trek: TNG" (or much else relating to the franchise), but I hate Wil Wheaton for breaking up the cutest little couple on TV - all for a stupid bowling tournament! And making my Lenny-pie cry. NOT FUNNY!!!
And we never got to see Penny bowl. :*(
(My DVR cuts off the very, very beginning of the show, so I don't even know what Penny quoted Yoda as saying that prompted this whole thing - I assume Leonard just thought it was endearing that Penny was giving out Yoda-wisdom and said what he'd been thinking for all those years. Good grief... There had better be a cheerful resolution on the way. Or at least one I can live with)
Back to the homework grind, I suppose... (after I go curl up in the corner and weep).
