Here's my magical album cover!
Advance Wingcommander: False Colors tickets on sale through Ticketmaster. And avoid libel suits, the cleaning bills are horrendous!

Here's the rules if any of you want to play:

1. Click on this link. The title of the page is the name of your band.

2. Click on this link. The last four words of the final quotation on the page are the title of your album.

3. Click on this link this link. The third picture is your album cover.

C'mon mammy, throw me that yammy!


Confession the first:
The meme below was clear about tagging fellow bloggers by blog. I didn't. I emailed them. So, here I confess to either failing to read directions or taking the easier path. Or both. In fact, I was feeling too rushed to add links to blogs I mentioned and I've tried to cover that up by adding links after the fact. Bad.

Confession the second:
When it came time for the Softie Awards, with the category "picnic foods," I lied. I entered Yammy as a Cool Ranch Dorito.
Sorry, B52s. Sorry, Yammy.


Next knitting project: a Spirit of the Shamed Blogger Doll.

Meme one, purl two, meme one, purl two

Awwww... someone missed me! George has memed me as part of a cluster of underperforming bloggers. Now, if I can respond before Amy [with her secret double-blogging-life!] does...

Here are the rules:
A) The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
B) Each player answers the questions about himself or herself.
C) At the end of the post, the player then tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1) Ten years ago I was...

Probably standing in a trade show booth, selling high capacity scaleable routers. So sexy!

2) Five things on today's to-do list:

Edit a really bad translation of a really good writer.
Have lunch with my pal Dave.
Ride home on my pretty blue bike.
Feed the dogs and chickens.
Make yet another round of changes to my poetry manuscript.


3) Things I'd do if I were a billionaire:

Edit a really bad translation of a really good writer.
Have lunch with my pal Dave.
Ride home on my pretty blue bike.
Feed the dogs and chickens.
Make yet another round of changes to my poetry manuscript.
Buy a house by the lake near my sister.

4) Three bad habits:

Whining (and not in the good way, like George does).
Napping when I could be blogging.
Blogging when I should be working.


5) Five places I've lived:

San Diego.
Quincy, CA.
San Diego.
Santa Barbara.

(even with repeats, can't stretch it to five...)

6) Six jobs I've had in my life:

Cook. Book seller. Dog trainer. Parrot tamer. Editor.


And now to choose five people: I'll smack Dave, Noelle Aguayo, Roy, Marty, and a mystery memer! (when I think of one)
