Having a party? Organizing a local F2F? Know something that we all really need to know? Announce it! Want to discuss anything posted here? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
More bookish stuff. The first moment of terror has crept in-- local BN has no plans to carry STARS, although several of the other area stores are. However, reports of sightings in the wild would be awesome, if and when folks are out in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks!
Hey, all! Don't forget -- if you're shopping at Amazon, if you use this link [link] we'll get a percentage! There are links for the UK and Canadian Amazon sites, as well as Powell's, on the Links page, too!
New blog post in which I quote our lovely erinaceous: Verbing Nouns Planfully and Other Jobs for Word Warriors.
Slacker Secret Santa: All of you who want to exchange presents with other Buffistas but haven't mailed the nicest about it yet, this is your chance!
Please send your info (board name and snail-mail address) to my profile address until the 10th of December. By then, I'll match you up to pairs of givers and recipients, and let you know which is who.
Even though it's titled with the word "Slacker" in it, you do remember that last year we voted on a gift-deadline of March, right? It doesn't mean you can't slack, just that there's a limit to it. Hope it's OK.
Your truly,
Absolutely-not-Tiny Jewish not-Santa
Hey, I wrote a letter to the Manolo shoe blog and he published it!!!1! [link] I am way more chuffed by this than I should be, but it has made my day!
Today is our next irregularly scheduled Onerous Task Day.
Should you choose to play along please join us at 2pm EST / 11am PST and cross that lingering, avoided, onerous task off your to-do list.
Make that call, fill out those forms, read that Faulkner, file those invoices, update your files, enter that data, pill that dog, clean out those gutters and get over the hump of hump day.
Slacker Secret Santas!
You've slacked up until the last day, which is today. If you don't send me any info by midnight, board time, you won't be able to play this year and will have to wait for a whole year in order to be able to join the fun, and, oh, my goodness, I'm turning Santa into a Jewish mommy, so I'll stop now.
Slacker Secret Santas: all of you who e-mailed me should have an e-mail with a giftee name and snail-mail address. Please let me know if there's any problem. Thanks for playing!
Not-so-tiny (yeah, yeah, we've already covered that) Jewish not-Santa.
I've got a new post up at Cocktail Party Physics, The Gift of Science featuring last minute science gifts. Enjoy! (i hope)
