Maybe I'll try for $1,000,000 on RF3.

I hear you get a statue.

I swear to god if this necklace breaks this weekend I going to rage-smash everything and everyone in sight. Stupid thing broke three times on me while i was trying to figure out how to get it sewn in place. Also my kirtle is rather strange and I think I'm going to have to safety-pin overdose to keep...

My mom is even telling me to make my own and sell. But what she doesn't understand is that I need inspiration to write. I hear you. I fucking love writing fanfiction, but you can't sell that. You can't even really show that to people -- not that I'm inclined to tell my parents/friends "Oh, hey...

@Maxine Hmmm... I think I will talk to you about fuel efficiency! I just checked fueleconomy.gov and assuming we're talking a 80s era big-box van -- yeah, you got me beat for shittiness by a degree of like 3mpg for city driving -- but the minivan's about par for course... except I get way, way bette...

@Nessy Was it daal baht? which, incidentally, was another thing I really enjoyed about reading the book: the Nepalese culture.

I did just want to pop in and tell Maxine that the paperback edition is due out December 27th (price: $14.99) and will no doubt have the same pictures as the hardcover. Also, one funny thing I noticed: mine's a signed copy because it's on ...

Soooo many pictures shall be taken, have no fear! I need to photograph the mask extensively for my friend who made it; she does masks professionally and I told her she could use this in her portfolio. I also plan to hand out her business cards at the con. Currently typing this while wearing the fur ...

OH MY GOD SO MUCH FUR I'm sitting here frantically sewing and sewing all this wolf fur for my Princess Mononoke costume. I have all the pieces and am just assembling them tonight. I debated making either her knife or spear, but I'd have to carry it the whole con, so I decided against it. Also didn't...

Yes, there are photos! There's a great one of a mother holding the picture of her son -- the exact photo that Conor later shows that son, Anish, I think; one of the Little Princes. There are photos of Amita, who is adorable, as well as the other children, even the littlest of the seven, the one they...

Who could have guessed that being unprepared for more snowfall than is usual for your region causes discomfort and confusion?

this logic is sound

Wait, what?

I'd call that a snowstorm.
