Gud, could you at least get your daughter into Sunday School classes for the socialization?

Wallpaper!

Wallpaper from the '70s: [link] Awesome, as only '70s wallpaper can be.

Cool, custom wallpaper: [link]

Extratapete is a new berlin-based company, that specializes on design and production of individual wallpapers. Due to a new production method, it is now possible to manufacture wallpapers in small volumes. This enables Extratapete to produce new vivid alternatives to the large-volume mainstream.

It seems to me that "cult" would make more average people pick up the book than "online" or whatever, because with the first, they're thinking, "WTF? There are people who are fans of cults??" and with the second they're thinking "Oh, a book about losers sitting at their computers."

Sunday School would be a good start. Or dancing or drama classes. There is a group of home-schooled kids who come to the skating rink I go to once a week.

I'm trying to remember if I ever had any drug education in school. I did belong to a small-group evening thing that was supposed to be a hugs-and-kisses, support-your-kids-to-reject-drugs-and-indiscriminate-sex, social and educational group, but what it ended up being was a place to unload your parental issues without them around, then arrange to get together on the weekends and drink, smoke pot, and watch violent videos (first time I ever saw The Warriors or smoked pot was with this group). But, in school itself? Nada.

Thanks, cult people.

Like I said, diamond shoes/blister.

I just loved the last cover SO MUCH. So, bummer.

I'm not getting reimbursed for the book tour, but talked them into reimbursing me for any marketing stuff I do on my own, up to $500.

So I'm waffling on tour. It's a once in a lifetime thing, and a tax write-off, but I think I should see how it does out-of-the-gate in July, first.

I'm so confused. And scared. And excited.

I'm trying to relish every moment, even the bummer ones.

That is certainly a possibility. Our church is not real close so unstructured play time with the kids there might be a bit tougher, but it still would be a big help. My wife has talked about it, but so far the logistics have been a problem. If we do continue to homeschool, this will have to happen. I don't have a lot of interest in doing Sunday School at church myself (I already go to church services and am in a chruch group which is probably more than most atheists do). But I can easily hang around and read instead. It would be kinda odd right now since one of the things I'm reading is the Koran, but there are other books I could take.

What about Girl Scouts, or I guess Brownies. I dropped out as a kid, but the Girl Scouts are a really cool organization and not at all like the Boy Scouts.

I dunno - it looks like what might happen if Hello Kitty dropped acid in a Bedazzle factory.

That is a great idea, I can't believe I hadn't even thought about it. We've tried to get her interested in sports or dance/martial arts/other classes with little success. I wonder if we could sell that better.
