Unceremonious opening ceremonies

[cleolinda]

God, I need to get the next Katrina entry finished up.

Anyhoo, I'm gonna go ahead and open up the Katrina store on the strict understanding that it is not finished and that new designs and products and things will be added, and on a daily basis if possible, so there will be more stuff. Eventually. But I have to read for class and I'm about a month behind on poem(s) for my writing group and I have Lost recaps to catch up on and it just takes time to change a design from one set of dimensions to another, you know? So the store's still rough, and not all the descriptions are finished, but, you know, pardon our progress and all that.

(Sorry, I'm a little frazzled today.)

Again: I am not keeping any of the profits. CafePress keeps the base price, and I have added $1 to that on every single product, which means that the number of products you buy affects how much goes to charity, not the total cost; it's a setup that encourages people to buy a lot of smaller items, basically, and while I'll put up anything anyone asks for, I'm definitely going to try to focus on buttons, magnets, mugs, that kind of thing, in addition to the ubiquitous t-shirt. Animal designs will benefit the Humane Society; all other proceeds will be split between Habitat for Humanity and Second Harvest.

I don't know if I'm working on a Lost recap or more designs tonight, but that's basically my plan for the evening. And maybe watching the Goblet of Fire trailer again.

EEEE! Store!

Doesn't the Goblet of Fire trailer rock?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Is it wrong that I keep looking at Ralphdemort and thinking about how hot he is underneath all the scary makeup?

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

I adore the "Heroine Addict" designs!


...very BPALesque...

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

BPAL has t-shirts?

[fateorlate.livejournal.com]

Yay for OMGWTFPOLARBEAR tshirts. I am so getting one or I'll cry.

[fateorlate.livejournal.com]

P.S: How are customs with things like this? Because I'm so toally buying one but I live in Canada, so it's gonna be wacky customs fun.

The polar bear teddy bear is the funniest thing ever!

[mandy0x.livejournal.com]

I still can't believe I was able to make it through the summer without new episodes of Lost.

[mandy0x.livejournal.com]

They screened the season premiere of Lost last night in Hawaii and there's a post at [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] of what's in the hatch. It's weird.
The little clues you see are from Kristin at Ask Kristin on eonline.com. The spoilers are from someone who saw the premiere.

God, that's a great icon. *g* It hits both the LOL and UNH buttons.

*suffers*

[spooke.livejournal.com]

ARGH SEASON 2 OF LOST IS PREMIERING THIS MONTH AND WE WON'T GET IT HERE UNTIL NEXT YEAR AAAAARGH THE PAIN

Re: *suffers*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Dude, where are you? Can you get the DVDs?

[punkiejeannien.livejournal.com]

where is the polar bear stuff from?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Lost recaps.

[mybelle1975.livejournal.com]

I haven't checked the store lately to see what's up, but personally I think a coffe mug with the phrase "Can I borrow a cup of sex?" (from King Arthur in 15 mins) would be funny.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Dude, I totally need to do that.

[wendywoowho.livejournal.com]

Thank you for doing this, beautiful.

[riverchild.livejournal.com]

Brilliance! I'm waiting for more buttons and magnets, and then I'm going to get buttons and magnets of every damn thing!

How difficult is it, btw, to resize the button design for mini-buttons? I just prefer those for size, so I'd be dancing on the chair if you could make some more of them when you have a chance. :)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Not too hard, I don't think--I think "Cousins" may already have a mini-button. It just depends on how well the button image resizes on the product creator software itself; if it doesn't look good, I have to go do it myself with a photo editor and upload a new image, but resizing/dimensions are more of an issue when moving from button to, say, bumper sticker, you know?

Anything in particular you wanted, btw?

[takarakanashi.livejournal.com]

You are NOT going to believe this. I can't even believe it.

I'm a member of hpkatrinarelief and some arse keeps posting stupid shite about the people affected by Katrina.

laeth_maclaurie posted:

Anyone who, given 48 hours to evacuate, cannot manage to get themselves out of the path of a hurricane, is a terminally stupid genetic defective. These people literally had the time to WALK out of harm's way, if they had shown the personal initiative and survival instinct of even the lowliest cockroach.

So, before you throw away money helping the "victims" of Katrina, keep in mind that these are people that, in nature, would already have been removed by natural selection. They are the dumbest of the dumb, the most useless, the most violent, the most disruptive, the very dregs of society. Let them starve. Let them die of disease. Hell, if you stumble on one, put a bullet right between his beady eyes or a shotgun blast between her fat lips. This is an opportunity to remove the weak and the worthless from the gene pool. Do not waste it!

I am so infuriated right now that I'm actually shaking. How could someone say something like this?!

Scathingly Brilliant Idea?

[captainsblog.livejournal.com]

Over on the m15m faqs, maam, you said, and I quote, fancy bolding and everything:

Will you sign my book?
Hon, I'll sign anything you put in front of me. Now, how we get your book to me is something I haven't figured out yet, because it seems like mailing them to me and me mailing them back is kind of expensive. I'm looking into something involving bookplate stickers, so if anyone knows of other writers who've done that, let me know; it might help.

I would donate good money for one of them thar bookplates. So, I suspect, would a lot of people. Sounds like a low-overhead, high-charity-percentage way to get some support just when people want you (NOT THAT WAY. SHUP, PERV) and you have something to ask of them in return.

Re: Scathingly Brilliant Idea?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

[lilgoala.livejournal.com]

Squee! You did the "Honor Student at the Harajuku Temple" bumper sticker!

[ter369.livejournal.com]

The shop looks lovely and the idea of "Heroine Addict" on a coffee mug is one whose time has come!

Thanks also for having the Hunger Site button on your posts. I have a link, but your posts make sure I click daily.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hell, if nothing else, it helps *me* to remember to click.

[arielchan.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Now where's my Sue buttons?

[royalsongstress.livejournal.com]

Those Heroine Addict things look wicked! I want THEM ALL. Especially a mug. They look wicked on the mugs.

That 'It's okay! I'm part mermaid!' line reminds me of the Christmas play my friend and I wrote for the drama club a few years back. We were trying to pick a Christmas story to mess around with and I trivaed that in Russia they do 'Swan Lake' at Christmas instead of 'The Nutcracker'. Which spawned 'Nutcracker Lake', a combination of the two. Our heroine, Claudette (Clara + Odette) was a swan during the day because of a mis-cast spell from her Uncle Drosselmeyer, spawning the frequently repeated line of 'Good thing I'm part swan!'. Ah, good times.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee!

(You might want to hold off on the mug-buying--I just put the sticker designs on mugs for the moment, but I'm working on a more horizontal design that'll go all the way around the mug.)

Yay!

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

*pimps in own LJ*

Re: Yay!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Eeee! Thx muchly. : )

[amberkb.livejournal.com]

They all look awesome!!!!

And don't forget that the season premiere of Lost starts next week! (as if you didn't already know. :))

[cattikins.livejournal.com]

Sweet action! I'm considering the "OMGWTFPOLARBEAR" wall clock...Because really, that just needs to be on a clock. And the Heroine Addict mugs are wickedly awesome.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee! I just noticed that it fit oddly well on the clock.

Hey, what were your MySpace names again? I tried to search for the band, and it went all stupid on me. And I think I tried searching for "xsincerityx," too, and it didn't like that either. Woe.

[prncssaurora.livejournal.com]

Heyyy, this is random, but I just opened up a MySpace account, so I added you, hope that's okay. I'm the redhead with the microphone. ;)

Random linkage

[twigsandgrace.livejournal.com]

I don't know if you've seen this (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=16131459&method=full&siteid=94762&headline=my-fear-of-hermione-nightmare--name_page.html), but I thought it might be interesting.
And, she swears. Anything with swearing is always good. It's like, a rule, or something.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

If you need help with the graphs stuff, I'd be happy to help. I have PhotoShop and enough skills for resizing and stuff. (Unless, of course, you prefer to keep control of these things youself, like I would, heh.)

[butterflysteel.livejournal.com]

telesilla said I should come here and ask you for a pink tee shirt that says "I think I saw a porno like that once," please. In the largest size possible.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes--I think I can manage that. The next time I add products (hopefully today), I'll post them here in the journal. : )

[sapphires13.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, how about some numbers of doom stickers or something? With the numbers, and either "OMGWTFNUMBERS", or just "Numbers of DOOOM!"
