Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
This is a HUGE FAIL on the part of Sharpie. Can you imagine how much money they're throwing away by not having their product available in time for back-to-school shopping?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And by making it available for review well before you can buy it in stores seems like a mistake, too.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Polish box is here, Suzi, thanks! Whoever wrapped the bottles individually and packed them in small packets is a GEENyus. It's like Christmas morning and none of the presents are labeled. "This one's--okay, that's not mine. Ooh, this is mine, this, and THIS! Not this. Oh, definitely not mine. Pretty, but I'd never wear it. Okay, MINE," and etc.
The first culling is done, swatching tomorrow, and then comparisons with close dupes, decisions and final packing to send on. Fun!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I want one. But I dunno if I want it enough to order from Amazon. I may never get over my Amazon bias. It's such an old geek bias and that water is not just under the bridge, but it's explored the entire water table and has retired as a glacier somewhere. I was going to get over it for the Kindle, but then there was the Orwellian fiasco.
Maybe I'll see if my local art & office supply store can order it for me. I have to go in to town today anyway.
But then, surfing that review site also makes me want the awesome self-sharpening mechanical pencil too. So.

Congrats, Gris!

Yay! I love that the polish box is still successfully making the rounds. It is the little box of joy.
I have drugstore polish on today, but I worked really hard at the application and I'm getting better! I watched youtube videos. I feel pleased with myself.

Ah, late summer in Utah, and the mountains are burning.
Weirdly reddish-orange sunlight for the next few days, and lungs that really don't want to work.
