I'd actually written up a couple of extensive LJ postings over the past few days, only to decide not to post them because they were too depressive or potentially contiversial. I've been doing that a lot on FA too- writing up fairly extensive comments, only to decide not to post them. While the new FA layout worked fine for me for a couple days, now it looks comepletely fucked up. Dunno what's up with that.
I'm trying to list some higher-end MTG cards, and have been wrestling with EBay's weird policy on postal insurance. Because some of the cards are European (French, German, Italian) I wanted overseas buyers to be able to bid on them. However, I can't risk the clusterfuck that happened a while ago, with someone claiming he 'never got' the item. The only way to avoid that with overseas buyers is to send it International Priority Mail and insure the package. However, that raises the price of postage to about $40, even if you're just mailing a single card! I've already gotten queries about wether I can send the cards 1st class international (which is about $6.00.) It's terrible that one or two dishonest buyers have to ruin it for everyone else.
I've also begun the layouts for Ice #8 and am busy beating my head against the wall over those. It's really no fun to be working on something you continually think looks awful.
Looking on Lulu.com for some EBooks. Pretty much everything I saw there looked really crappy. Does Amazon Kindle just attract a higher-end author? There was one or two books on Lulu I may get, but I'll need to figure out how to load and read PDF format on the Kindle.
It's starting to look like I may not be able to get to CaliFur. I have no way of getting there; I won't have acess to the car Saturday or Sunday, and even if I wanted to do something crazy like take the train down, I have no way of getting to or from the station. Which is a drag, because I have stuiff I need to pick u p and drop off with people there, but what can I do? My amazing powers of teleportation are not working. With Dwight working at the second vet clinic, my car access has shrunk to practically nill, and nothing at all on the weekends.
Everyone in the neighborhood seems to have gone away for the holiday. It's dead quiet except for singing mockingbirds. |

 Future Noir:
Turning down the block and ducking into a futuristic newsstand revealed the most humorous touches of layering, for it was here that this author immediately noticed that a number of faux twenty-first-century magazines had been stuffed into racks mounted on the newsstand's walls, and that many of them sported decidedly tongue-in-cheek covers.These publications had been designed by BR art department member Tom Southwell. Periodicals of note include Krotch (going for $29 a copy!), Zord (at $30), Moni, Bash, Creative Evolution, and Droid. Horn, the "skin mag" of the future, had a cover which offered articles such as "The Cosmic Orgasm" and "Hot Lust in Space." Kill (whose logo was "All the News That's Fit to Kill") sported cover stories like "Multiple Murders - Reader's Own Photos." Mirrored from jwz.org. |
