Hola bebes. 

This is what I really look like.  

This was during the heat wave / power outage, so I look a little haggard.

Honk if you see me.

I was going to post a pic I had when I was moving from Cali to Texas and had all my books, which I was cataloguing for LibraryThing, all over my apartment floor, but I can't find it. So here's me cuddling with my copy of Neil Gaiman's super-limited Melinda instead because at least it's related to books:

Also, every woman should have pictures with books. I think that I must at some point have literally sexualized my book fetishism, because there's some [dumb shit] I've been linked to that kind of does it for me. Of all the stupid things, right?

And yet...

It's pretty lenient here on the reactor unless someone is trying to offend or be a total dick on purpose to someone on a personal level. Just use NSFW if you feel the need to. We like the occasional flashing.

Well, if you're in NY, you're in luck. For the park group, I mean. The NGR deal is around other places. It's like a vaguely burlesque stageshow, and when I was looking at poster collections (some of their new ones are shit, but some of the older ones were really cool), I saw groups from Chicaco, SF, and LA as well.

Correct.

There's a detail in the left bottom book that should help. The bottom right can be hard to guess, but she's a favorite writer round here.

I thought red-heads only used their powers for evil.  If you've been using it for good, then you'll get kicked out of the Chthonic League of Redhead (CLOR).

I assure you I am in good standing with the CLOR, hosting a Tupperware party next month.  Foxy held it at her house this month, she sets a lovely table. Maybe I'll invite you to be my guest Howie, it's a good time.

I got an egg dipper thing at a Tupperware party once, it was a free gift for some game we played. It seemed like a silly thing to own at the time, but man is it awesome for picking hardboiled eggs out of hot water. The actual Tupperware containers I paid for, on the otherhand, sucked.

Randomly found this looking through old photos. There are probably 6 feet more of books piled up like this around that corner, but I only took a couple photos. This was before I moved from my super awesome apartment in Cali to the shithole I'm in now, in Texas. I miss that old place so much. And I miss being able to actually play my guitar.

I know there are some other musicians here... that's my humble but well-loved Crate Blue Voodoo head and Mesa Boogie 2x12 cab on the left. I have my guitar here but I just play it through my POD. It isn't even remotely the same and basically means I never play my guitar.
