A shirt for all of my writer friends

here ....and you know who you are. *cough*

The way woot works: it's only $10 today (no shipping), but they will make it available in a week for $15.  They put up a new shirt every day, and they hold themed contests.

I'm wearing this shirt today. It was one of the finalists in the Fake Band competition.

I managed to get out of the house this morning without my bookbag. I was up too late again last night; my contract with the website people ended and they wanted me to work on a last few articles. Then I had to go meet the people whom I'm dogsitting for next week (Sam is a huge Great Dane, very sweet), and send another book out via Amazon Marketplace. I did get to watch some of the All Star Game, which was nice.

While I was grocery shopping, a funny happened: I was picking up my bags and I heard the cashier giggle; a woman's voice replied, "It's not what it looks like!". I turned, and coming down the little conveyor belt: whipped cream, strawberries, and a coil of rope.  :-D

I will be in Killeen Fri-Sun (yay) for a little anime con. It's juuuust close enough that I'm driving back and forth every day. Hopefully I will sell many shirts.

Ha!

My favoritest quote re: writer's block comes from an old web comic (that I wish I could locate). The guy is sitting there, musing on how he can't write. It's like there's this . . . block. A writer's block! And it's keeping him from writing! But maybe if he turns that writer's block on its side and slides it in just so with all the other blocks, he'll have a tetris and clear four lines in a row.

Of course, he thinks, that would only work if it was a long, skinny writer's block. Knowing his luck, it's one of those weird bendy ones. . . .

Waffles = yay. I do not subscribe to this Adkins madness.

I know, I could obviously never even SAY the word "waffle" to Mr. Pegasus.

Did I tell you about my Fanime strategy of actively and obviously ignoring him when he starts blathering? It's almost a little bit effective...certainly fun in a juvenile kind of way, at least (not quite hands-over-ears LALALA but almost, ahaha)
