Hurrah! :D

Amazon has disabled the "pay-through-your-bank-account" option, and I'm trying not to put any more on the credit cards, so it may take a week or two for you to get your stuff, but now that I'm making the bigger bucks, there actually will BE stuff this year. :D I'll mail the check tomorrow. ♥

Apparently there are no full-blooded Maoris left. I don't know if my source is correct on that, but she was Maori, so she should know. This makes me sad.

DO THEY ACCEPT WEE-BOMBS IN QUARANTINE???

That is sad; I want to chuck a fit and say I don't believe her, but knowing the drift of history, it's probably true. :( Also, there are only 4 Shakers left in the US, which is also cause for sadness.

I DON'T KNOW. THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT!

Four? That's sad :(

I THINK YOU SHOULD EMAIL THEM!

They've made provisions for the land on which their current quarters are built so that it will be a wildlife preserve with a museum and the cemetery will be kept up, in the event that the sect dies out and is not renewed, and no developers will ever get their shitty mitts on it. So that's yay, although I'm sorry the sect is almost dead. (One of the Shakers said he wasn't worried; if God has been calling people to their lifestyle in the past, He can do it again, was the gist.) :)

I WAS THINKING MORE LIKE TRYING TO SNEAK CALLICE PAST CUSTOMS AND SEEING WHAT HAPPENS, BUT PERHAPS E-MAILING IS THE WAY TO GO.

Dear NZ Customs ( ... )

Thank GOD your paychecks were recovered. Eeesh. I have done that once or twice myself, albeit with bills that were meant to be mailed rather than with paychecks, and all I can say is Thank Goodness for Kindly Librarians!

Also, thanks for the wish of luck. I am SERIOUSLY going to need it.

YA is sadly the joy of my hack reading life.

Kindly librarians are like the kindly shepherds who always show up in Greek mythology when our hero is about to be exposed on a hillside. They're always saving somebody's ass. Srsly, I could have kissed the woman. XD

YA is a perfectly acceptable form of entertainment. :D

Oh my goodness gracious, that's not wrong! That's wonderful, that's what that is! **bookmarks, keeps browsing** When Mom hands over my you-don't-have-a-job-yet-you-sucker money, I know exactly where I'm going; this is, like, adorable hair accessory central. And there's Hello Kitty! Oohh, thank you! :DDDDD

♥♥♥♥♥, Lee.

Question: what is "The Last Legion"? Is it a new movie in theatres, or is it a documentary or other film to which I probably don't have access? I'm intrigued now.

And it's all so cheap, too. Why, at those low low prices, ukelettes can hardly resist buying anything! (I figured Hello Kitty would just be the clincher. ^_-) Judging by your reaction, I suspect that you may be the previously undocumented squeehorse rather than a seahorse proper. ^_-

Also of interest: Cute Salad. Also also, I followed a link in Rose's journal and found seahorse-shaped cookie cutters, and it took all my willpower to not acquire them on the spot. I figured that eating sweet, delicious seahorse cookies might be a bit weird for you.

Answer: The Last Legion is a new film now in theatres (presumably), which is ostensibly about the reign of Romulus Augustulus, who is the last emperor of Rome in the traditional decline-and-fall narrative. My covenant with faggotry requires that I see it and then complain about anything it may have gotten wrong, because ancient history is SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS.

♥♥♥♥♥♥ and more ♥, Talyn. ^______^
