Boot Whore!

Posted in cake, random, shoes | 12 Comments
I caved this week and bought this awesome pair of boots from New Rock. They come from Spain. They are awesome. And I took a big chance on them, because you can’t return them – even if you buy the wrong size. I’m normally about a 7.5, (which can really go either way depending on the brand of shoe). All they had was a 7 or 8, and it’s a damn good thing I went with the 8. They fit like a glove. Now I originally bought them as part of my super-duper SteamPunk costume thing I’m putting together. (And awesomely enough, the designer has sent me the corset mockup – I need to get laced into it and take pictures to send her…I’ll probably post a few here as well, but it’s coming along very nicely. 🙂 You know – here we are again. I’ll admit I just put… Read more

The Logic of a Labor of Love?

Posted in editing, random, updates | 4 Comments
Okay – the picture has nothing to do with anything, except it struck me terribly funny. At least for about ten seconds. Subsequent viewings continue to make me laugh, so I’m posting it. Anyway, my edits are due in five days. Five. I’ve found myself panicking at the edge of the wee hours as I continue to rework the end. There are a number of gaps that I didn’t mesh together quite right when I rewrote a large chunk of the story. Things that made sense before are either no longer needed or get explained elsewhere…or, as I discovered the other night, no longer make any sense at all. It’s put in me in a bit of bind, since I’m basically out of time. I did spend a fair amount of time going over it last night, and jabbering away at Jeffe around midnight. I was just on the edge… Read more

Vintage Ad WTFkery

Posted in wtf | 2 Comments
Because this way you can be skinny *and* have a clean house. You know. Useful and decorative, the way a woman should be. Did people really think this way? *Really??* How about I cook you up a nice shit sandwich? And I do like shoes. But I’m not *really* sure that’s what they’re selling here. Obviously this isn’t vintage. But it’s PETA, and that’s nearly as bad. For some reason the towel offends me. Revenge? Eh. Not really. But way to sell your condoms.… Read more

Change of Venue

Posted in metaphoric crap that is supposed to mean something deep but probably doesn't, pigs | 4 Comments
Last year when we went strawberry picking, I bought a winged pig made of metal and put it on the front porch. At the time, the writing thing was still a pipe dream. I’d finished my first real draft, I’d pitched (and been rejected), but I was still full of hope. This year, I decided to keep up with the pig theme and bought something called a Sproutlet – which is really just a glorified chia pet for kids. (Or for dorks like me, apparently.) But the theory is that you can cut their “hair” or put it in pony tails or whatever. So last Wednesday I decided to give it a shot and watered it up real nice and put it in my cube. After all, the directions did say something about indirect sunlight, and my place of employment keeps making this stink about how “green” this building is. Alas,… Read more
