Vegas was great

The break was even better

37 feels the same as 36, of course

pics to share and stories to tell - hopefully over the weekend

I was cruising the Astro Dispatch and came across this article about Mercury Retrograde (which we just entered.)

What popped out at me was this phrase

The key issue is FOCUS

I'm getting a tattoo tomorrow - two, actually.  The one on my left wrist will read, simply

FOCUS

How cool is that?!

To quote the lovely and talented Smarticus


I have posted my friend Sadie's drawings on here many times, because they are funny and oof! so poignant, also.  She has made her own website, in anticipation of writing a whole entire book of drawings and musings.  I would really like it if you could link this amazing woman's works far and wide, thus hastening the day when she sleeps on a bed of money and has furniture made of gold bars.

her website is called "Small Peculiar", which is a line from Paradise Lost.  Sadie is pretty smart, pretty literate, and pretty.

I've seen this one floating around, and I figured hey why not? I am, after all, crafty.

The first five people to respond to this post will get something handmade by me.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations so please read the following Terms & Conditions carefully:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make.
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It'll be done this year (2009).
4. You will have no clue what it's going to be.
5. It will be something made in the real world and not something over the internet.

Here's the fine print:
In return, all you need to do is post this text into a blog of your own and make 5 things for 5 others. No cheating; if you want something from me you have to post this on your site and follow through. You do not have to be particularly artsy-fartsy to do this. Really. Just be creative.

Internet out.  After much craziness with PacBell techs, it has been determined the problem is between the building tap and my apartment.

Which means it's my responsibility.

And they need someone home to get a tech out, regardless of if I hire my own electrician or if I have their techs out.

To speakeasy's credit, they did tell me it would be cheaper to hire my own tech.

Just to add to the madness, my house is in deep chaos right now.  I'm having issues with that.

sigh

I would ask for help but who would I ask?

Yeah, it's like that.

Back when I can.
