why hello live journal, haven't seen you in a while. and of course i only turn to you now for selfishly motivated reasons, but being so acknowledged i will get right to it. (did that sentence make sense?)

i propose a book exchange. this may be actual (physical or otherwise) or virtual. meaning: i give you a book or the title of a book, and you promise to read it within 30 days. in exchange you give me a book or the title of a book and i promise to read it within 30 days.

discussion may or may not ensue. you may choose a book you enjoy, or a book you think i will enjoy, or any book at random, and i may do the same. but we must read each other's books, be they good, bad or indifferent.

if you are game, comment with the book title and whether or not you own/will provide said book. i will reply to your comment with my book title.

note: to keep me from being overwhelmed with books to read, i have turned on the comment screening. if i cannot participate with you right away, i will email in response to your comment and let you know.

ok, i'm a little over 2/3 of the way through a storm of swords and i just have to say...the fuck? why are all of my favorite characters getting it up the arse?

peppers do not come off the [tree/vine] already pickled, so how did peter piper PICK a peck of pickled peppers? wouldn't he have had to pickle a peck of picked peppers instead?

click here to contribute to my bail. read on to find out what in the world i am talking about.

hello all, many of you will be getting an email about this from me in the near future (if you haven't received one already), but in case i don't have your email address and you are interested, i wanted to put the information here, too.

i have agreed to be locked up for charity. on 11/4 i will be "arrested" for the muscular dystrophy association and i need you all to help me raise my "bail." so, if you have the ability and inclination, please click here and contribute to help me get out of jail. unfortunately, i don't get out of jail free...kind of like my clients. ;)

( pic behind the cut )

looks very blue, instead of the actual intense green of the iridescence, but i'm pretty pleased with the results, both in person and in the pic.

oh and, for those who keep track of such things, this is one coat of funky dunkey (which is a decent creme purple on its own) with two coats of significant other color over top, both by OPI.

seriously, my id is on overdrive! they come in a more purpley edition as well, but those do not seem to be available in my size. sad.

they killed my cooter!

our kittens are now about 13 weeks old, that means they are adoptable. i also means they are not teeny-tinies any more, which means i is time or a photo update. behind a cut in deference to bandwidth.

( cuteness ahoy! )
