I Ain't Got No Body

I saw this action figure head on eBay and I could not pass it up.


Unfortunately I do not have a body for this great head. The bodies that I have are either too light or too dark. Hopefully the Hot Toys Truetype Slim AA body will be a close enough match. If the body matches, I will pick up a couple of these and transfer this head to one of the bodies. Hopefully it will be released soon!

Temporal Anomaly

While on a mission, Captain Sisko encountered a temporal anomaly which caused him to travel back through time to certain periods in Earth history. He was very careful not to disrupt history, but photographic evidence of his presence remains.

Calista’s Diary Entry – Time Alone

Dear Diary,

Today I gave Bob a note that said “Meet me at the playhouse after school”. The playhouse is still under construction so I figured we would have a little privacy there. So I went there after school and Bob was not there. I was so nervous and my heart was beating fast and I wondered if he would show up. After a while he showed up! I saw that he had changed clothes and I wished that I had changed clothes too.

We talked for a while – maybe 30 minutes or more. He told me that I look so pretty with and without my glasses. <3>


The Homecoming dance is in 6 weeks. I think that he will ask me to go with him. I hope that he asks me! This will be my first formal dance. I wonder if my parents will let me go with Bob?????? He needs to ask me soon so that I have time to pick out the perfect dress!

Calista's Diary Entry - Crush Alert

Dear Diary,

I begged my mom and dad for a cell phone for over a week. I said “Mom, Dad may I please please please have a cell phone.” They said “NO Calista.” I said “But I need it for emergencies like to contact someone when I’m at Spirit Squad practice. EVERYONE has a cell phone but me!”


Finally they said “Ok Calista.” YES! The next day, they gave me my cell phone. I was shocked. I said “What this old thing? You have to be kidding!” They said “You said you wanted a phone so here you go. It serves the purposes that you mentioned.” They may think that I did not notice, but I saw the smirks on their faces.


At school…

Me: “Hey Bob.”
Bob: “Hey Calista.”

I can’t show him my phone, I’ll be laughed at.

Me: “Bob call me on your cell phone ok.”
Bob: “I dont have a cell phone.”
Me: “Oh.”

Aw man I begged all that time for nothing. But I had an idea. I asked Mr. Smith if I could move to the empty chair next to Bob and he said yes. That ought to make it easier to pass notes. **Tee hee hee**

The other dancers are happy to have her.

And here comes the rest of the welcome wagon.

She Got Game

Basketball is my favorite sport. I love the way they dribble up and down the court.

Calista's Diary Entry - Passing Notes

Dear Diary,

Today in class Bob passed me a note that said "I like you, do you like me?" and it had checkboxes for "Yes" and "No".

I thought it was so cute and so corny that I giggled out loud a little. I was just about to check the "Yes" box when I saw the teacher Mr. Smith looking at me. :( He said in his booming voice "Calista, would you like to share with the class what you find so humorous?". I said "No, sir." He told me to bring my notes to him at the front of the classroom. I looked down as I walked, but I still saw Bob covering his face with his hands and I knew that he was just as embarrassed as I was. As I walked, I kept saying over and over in my head "Please don't read the note out loud! Please don't read the note out loud!" Well Mr. Smith read the note out loud. Then he explained to the class that we are not to pass notes to one another while class is in session.


I walked back to my seat as my classmates giggled. Needless to say, I was teased all day, mainly by Kana and Briana Joy. They kept telling me that I need a cell phone, and I agree! If I had a cell, then Bob would've been able to text me and this never would have happened! I'm going to beg my parents for a cell until they finally see things my way.

TTL Height Comparison

Here is the TTL body with a Power Team figure, G.I. Joe, an Ultimate Soldier, and a DiD body (different head). The TTL body is taller than G.I. Joe and the Ultimate Soldier, shorter than the Power Team figure, and about the same height as the DiD body.

Here is the TTL figure with my tall guys - Scottie Pippen, Triad Omega, and Darius Reid.

New TTL Brown Body

My new TTL action figure body arrived today. I ordered the brown body (the choices were light, brown, and black). It is short compared to other male action figure bodies, but I am pleased with the articulation and the ability to hold poses.


The only bothersome flaw that I see is a small crack above the left ankle cup. I will be sealing it promptly!


My DiD Barack Obama thinks that this would be a good replacement body if he ever decides that he wants to wear short-sleeved shirts.


Vincent and William are having a discussion about which one of them will get the new body. I think it's gonna be Vincent.

I'm going to order more of these in black!
