Hey, so I know many of you oredered through Knitpicks for Maria's afghan yarn, and of course just knitters in general. I'm on my phone, so I can't link to the apology, not that they sent it to me anyway, but they were compromised. My card got hit for $500 today, so I would strongly encourage those of you who ordered through them to check your accounts at the very least and consider closing out your applicable credit or debit cards.

Hey, folks who aren't subscribed to the F2F thread, people are starting to talk about this year's event. It's on the East Coast this year, so go on over there and start a-pimping!

This would be more properly posted in Supernatural, but I'm not caught up in there, so I'll let Supernatural-lovers (esp. Dean Girls) see it here. Today's Qwertee shirt:

My political analysis of the Canadian Science Fiction series Continuum, now airing on SyFy. Spoiler: I don't think much of the politics of the series and don't buy the show arguments that right-wing tropes represent "Moral complexity" or "shades of grey".

Tim and Joss both up for Bram Stoker Awards from the Horror Writers Association.

I'm not sure where the nail polish box gets discussed, so I'll put this here.

If the person who has, or is about the have the box is interested, I have three bottles to add:

Loreal, wear extraordinair, lush velvet (deep purple/brown)

Revlon, cherry burst (bright red)

Sally Hansen, Xtreme wear, gunmetal (just as you'd expect...gunmetal grey)

eta: I also have an Avon Pro lipstick in Vibrant Nude which is kind of cool in that there is a fliptop on the lid that contains a shiny/glittery cover shade...and a wee mirror!

Or, if anyone else would like them, I will mail them posthaste.

My profile addy is good.

A post from the more frivolous side:

I'm still too far behind in Supernatural to make a timely post, but for Supernaturalistas, Qwertee is relevant to your interests today (and tomorrow):

A friend of mine is looking for someone with Kickstarter experience to help him create a campaign for a documentary being made about himself.

He's a thoroughly inspirational guy and very organized in his thinking. When he says he is going to do something, it gets done, so he's looking for a similarly motivated adviser.

The documentary is called "Blind Lifter."

He's been a Congressional staffer, and worked in disability non-profits for years. He has a particular interest in helping people with disabilities, and the world in general, to see disabilities differently.

You can see a news clip of him and more about the doc on his website.

The one issue is that he has a tight turnaround and would love to talk with someone this week about getting started.

Please either email me at my profile addy, or contact him directly through the site.

This is a paid opportunity, though I do not know the terms or conditions.
