packages have been mailed for you, my dear, and you, my ruffled kitten.

naina, i realized i don't know how many tapes i owe you, which stopped my efforts to package them up and send them. one? two? three? i'd send you the whole package, but these are my mom's tapes we're discussing here and not mine, so. where have you been, anyway?

[edit: holls: check out squirrelmir's icons.]

a nice little old gentleman at the post office picked up my packing slip when i dropped it, and when she saw the customs form for wax's package the postal clerk said, "oh, collectible stones? where did you get them?" and was overall very pleasant. of course i wrote "stones" because i'm not positive, but there may be some sort of law about where one can mail native fossils. i mean, i know you can mail them, but perhaps they have to be insured or something, so i sidestepped the issue. she was very nice, though, and she had the cutest little glamour girl hairdo.

speaking of which, kk, what sort of thing would you like written on your icon?

here you are, kmazzy

--and i'm going to make some more, because i'm crazy. so, you know, if that one's too porny for you (ha. ha. haha.), just wait.

new lj-cut tag

someone tell me how to do the new closed lj-cut tag? i'm stupid, i freely admit.

edit: thanks very much.

alright, more icons!

kk, there's the one i already made you two entries down and then i made you this too:

( for kk )

and then, i made a bunch more, ( for anyone who wants one )

the ones with blank spaces are obviously intended to be tagged, but i didn't have any particular inspiration for them, so.

maybe i need to take a nap--it must be a bad sign when i'm too tired to be patient when my daddy wants to tell me cute stories about my sister. admittedly the story was not actually that cute, but one shouldn't discourage parents from thinking their children are cute.

i get so stuck on leaving
and i think i'll go
cause they don't want me around here
no more

oh, and gip. isn't she gorgeous?

we went to a wedding--one of my mom's closest friends from grad school, who is a lot younger than she is because he went after college and she waited until my sister was born. when i was in eighth grade and he was a dorky bachelor he used to come over every friday to watch xena and hercules with us. his house was decorated with babylon 5 action figures still in the packages.

our house is largely decorated with his woodblocks--well, no, largely with my mom's, but we've got two big ones of his i can think of (one of the tolkien dwarves from the hobbit and one of menolly from mccafrey's dragonsong), plus a two-panel (diptych?) piece in black on cream that's a giant montage of characters from greek mythology, in a gold frame, which is absolutely gorgeous and the focal point of our living room. something else he and my mom have in common is that they're both printmakers.

anyway, the wedding was nice-ish, though the bridesmaids' dresses had those silly little sleeves and weren't very flattering. his wife seems nice, although i have heard that she doesn't like dragons o.O O.o o.O.
