Yiddish, with Dick and Jane.

Woah. I can't believe I've never seen a VidLit before. These are hilarious. Between the above and the How I paid for College (and Craziest. Holy fuck.)


Went browsing through the internet this afternoon, and found this: Pince-Nez glasses on eBay. For about $32 Australian, with no bids as yet. I am seriously tempted. Look at that temptation: it's all tempty. I think I'll wait until tomorrow (the bidding closes tomorrow, or more accurately, the morning afterwards) and come back and look again.
...which is the main reason why I'm blogging about it: so I'll remember.
There's another pair there, too, but it's 6 days away from the final bid.
Two more links for my own use: here and here.
I should have come straight to eBay instead of dicking around on Google trying to find shops that sell them.

Sod it all. Have put my glasses down somewhere and cannot find them again. I was certain I had left them outside after dashing in when the storm broke, but I've been out three times and no luck. What have I done with them? This is most vexing, and I always get a headache when I ahve to go without my glasses. Botheration.

"Are you an actor?"
"No, I'm just dramatic."


ARGH my eyes feel like they've been replaced with large, hot stones. I guess I should probably go to bed. I'll have to catch up with my friends' list another time.

Go forth! Buy! Or, if you're not in the country/state and are interested, email me and I'll see if we can come to some sort of arrangement. It's only $15.95 - cheap at twice the price. Makes excellent Christmas and birthday gifts.

Looks like I can't go to the Vis Ink Christmas bash, as I have Liam and Hedda's wedding. Boo. Ah, well. Scheduling conflicts happen.


1 Those of you who may be new to this LJ: Stitch This! is the anthology I worked on this year, and co-edited. Oh, and I've got a story in there. But that's less important.

810 words. Holy fuck. I'm usually hard pressed to write an original short story that long. This was supposed to be a flash fiction, like so many of my offerings. Quite proud of it, though. *ruffles the fanfic's hair*

HP. Gen. Alternate history. 'It went against anything anyone ever expected - everyone had thought, when Voldemort came to power, that it would be the Slytherins, the Purebloods, who stood behind him.' )
