cleolindaGUESS WHO STILL HAS A LEAK IN THE ROOF? Yeah, this is after our roof was tarped three times over, or so the contractor claims. Anyhoo, I ended up putting a tupperware bowl (inside a garbage bag [inside a box lid] ) under the leak to make sure that all the scattershot dripping would be caught and not end up, you know, in another box of Nancy Drew books, and that seems to have worked pretty well.
Meanwhile, I spent the morning being unusually productive--not writing-wise, sadly, but in terms of random errands. Much of the morning was given over to decanting my BPAL oils into vials to resell, which means that I'm now sitting in an atmospheric miasma of oils I didn't like enough to keep in the first place--man-musk and pine needles and cinnamon wheat and angry pastry. I did discover, however, that a simple blank mailing label makes an excellent self-adhesive imp label. And I promise this time that the oils can go out much faster, because 1) I know what I'm doing this time and 2) I actually have the padded envelopes on hand.
Current Nancy Drew: Well, I just finished The Clue of the Leaning Chimney last night and I'm about to start on The Secret of the Wooden Lady; I haven't done any reading today so far.
Tomorrow, I'm going out to lunch with my grandmother and... I'm doing something else. I forget what else.
Beautiful weather, by the way, and we got a bit of the fresh March chill back.

Date: 2006-03-14 11:51 pm (UTC)Good luck with roofing. I got a bunch of stuff fixed around here today when my landlord and his brother-in-law came down to handle a couple of projects (and I inadverdently pissed off my landlord, but that's something else again).

Date: 2006-03-15 01:10 am (UTC)Notes I like: Sandalwood, patchouli, frankincense, jasmine, musk--incensey, resiny stuff. I like citrus but it floats away on me. Hell, if you're tossing any Lupercalia stuff (Smut, Red Lantern, whatever), that would be fine.

Date: 2006-03-15 12:06 am (UTC)I don't remember being impressed with The Secret of the Wooden Lady but then I only read it for the promise of Beth and George. The one where they go to New Orleans was my favorite.

The campaign against him is going wonderfully, but it might help if you put it in linkspam, eventually, too. *begs*

They are actively recruiting.
We'll all be at San Diego Con, trying to hire people, but it seems stupid to me to not give the offer to you now, since you're reading Nancy Drew and all.

Are your sure you don't want to start watching TV?
Date: 2006-03-15 07:45 pm (UTC)And then you could BPAL ads in there. Ooooo the possibilities.
I for one would definitely be a subscriber.

Date: 2006-03-16 12:08 am (UTC)I volunteered to beg for swag for LilBro's upcoming Rock Lottery (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=55635719) (now expended to 3 nights!), but I'm not quite sure where to go for the begging. My Rolodex is more film-oriented than record label-oriented. Is there a place like IMDb Pro but for music? And, if I'm going to contact the labels "cold turkey", what's the best way to approach them? Rock Lottery (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=55635719) proceeds go to charity while the swag will be used for door prizes. Last year, the first annual Rock Lottery (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=55635719), featured door prizes of...t-shirts and hats from LilBro's beer vendors. We'd like to get some good stuff this year.
(See how I make it a little easier out here for a pimp? ;) )
