picked a handful of violets in my name

Wyrding Studios is celebrating its fourth anniversary. A large update went live earlier this evening, featuring new pieces from older series and some completely new stuff, and older stock is on sale.

I bought Toad Lily #7 for myself and Depths of Winter: red and black for Gwyneira - I mean, I will be the one wearing it, since she is fictional. But still.

Ooh, this is live already!

Today I helped people process materials in Spanish and Chinese. Which would be totally cool if I actually knew either of those languages. >.<

Also, meet my new tag for archives-related stuff: the basement - pretty cold actually. Now I just need an icon, lol.


Our mice have a personal grudge against me. Or an epic sweet tooth. They ignore any other food product in favor of chocolate, little furry bastards. >.<


Anybody know of something like LJlogin which is compatible with Dreamwidth? Or a way to modify LJlogin so it'll support DW? (This question brought to you by lissa_and_kitty and brother_marcus. Warning: no content yet.)

I bought 30 blank CDs to give my mom some new music, and I have used. Them. All. And I still have stuff I need to burn. *facepalm*

I'm doing well with my writing, at least. And we've been having some good family times, even though Dad has had a fair bit of work. I have a new pair of glasses, and I got new lenses in my old frames.

I think we're going to Rock n Bowl tonight. :D

Also, bandombigbang_feed to keep up with BBB posting if you're reading primarily on Dreamwidth.

Also also, does anyone have a good Trans 101 to recommend? Like, really entry-level stuff, defining terms, etc.
