Would it be worth the paper it was printed on?
I mean this question literally.
This book, formatted for the appropriate size, is 600 pages. According to Lulu's estimates, Devourer on the cheap paper would cost $15 per unit to print. (This, friends, is what we get for not buying in bulk.) They recommend a retail price of $30. I myself would be perfectly happy at negligible profit margins, since I ( Read more... ) -
Where I am instead
Okay, just so nobody gets nervous about not hearing from me: this month I've got a baptism, a friend <3 to help move here from another state, Thanksgiving, and NaNo. So if I'm scarce online, one or more of those is why. -
I has a bicycle!
And I would totally show you if my phone uploading album would just cooperate for a minute. Pft. Here's a rough idea:

Like that, only blue. With a rack and saddlebags. She's just an entry-level, but I love her. :D

Random facts of the day
I need to keep some kind of planner. Seriously. Paper or computer, I wonder.
As of today Flame is already totally caught up in trig and halfway there in English. He's going to need to pick up an extra elective if he keeps this up! Sure, it's only been two days, but still, I'm pleasantly shocked at how good he's being about sitting down and doing ( Read more... ) -
By the Bi
So: it's Bisexual Visibility Day. http://september23.bi.org/
For those of you who might have managed to miss it, I'm bisexual. I'm not straight; I'm not gay; I'm not transsexual or transgendered; I'm not a rampaging sex fiend monster with no brakes (so no, if you're wondering whether I was hitting on you and you're not sure, I probably wasn't).

As traditional, I am grateful for Flame, who turned 16 today. We get along well enough (in a similarly quirky enough way) to be regularly mistaken for siblings. He's funny and smart and a good person, and I really like how he's turning out.
(In related news, he's also decided at the last second that he will be taking German instead of Japanese.) -

So let me tell you a thing about Flame's new online school: he will be doing Rosetta Stone Japanese. For free. BOOYEAH.
(And also trig. English class is reading "The Crucible." All good stuff.) -
Gratitude journal
Today I'm, ah. Grateful to be moving forward on Flame's school transfer, and for the amount of energy I do have for getting through what looks to be a busy week on, and for my beloved twist_shimmy , who so seldom fails to be online to write and vent with.
Bright side, bright side. ;D

Whew! The party was beautiful and fun, everything went smoothly, everyone seemed to have a good time, the new friends got along with the old friends, all the presents and cards were lovely and I didn't have to feign enthusiasm for any of them. ;D And we looked fabulous.
And today I'm grateful that enough cleanup and borrowed-stuff-returning has ( Read more... ) -

I am grateful for the hard-won understanding that it is not my responsibility to flawlessly engage in logical debate, even when I have the knowledge to do so, if I am not enjoying doing so. Especially when I am in my own space rather than public space. Huzzah self-care!
