I’m not slacking off. I was so gonna post this last night, but Blogger’s scheduled outages are messing with me.

I did this. We’ll see if anything comes of it. Things tend to not come of this kind of thing (follow that?) for me, but maybe this will be different. Whatever I do should prosper, eh?

That’s about it. I’ve been working my butt off lately and trying to finish a zine a month behind schedule on top of it, so I really don’t have anything exciting to report. I watched Luther again last night while I was zining (zeen-ing), which is really only exciting if you’re me.

Every time I watch Luther now, though, I think about how I need to get a good biography on Jonathan Hus. I usually think on that for a minute and then start to daydream about getting one on Jean d’Arc too.

Timothy had a cool revelation last night while reading his Bible. He said he was going to blog it, so if you’re looking for good content, check him out.

I got sucked into a web of URL links yesterday evening. Now I really want one of these bags:

Alchemy Goods makes bags and wallets (and zipper pulls) out of recycled bicycle material. This one is recycled inner tubes (and a recycled seatbelt, which is not from a bicycle, but that’s okay). Their stuff’s a little pricey, but it’s made in the USA.

I’m also eyeballing one of these monster coin purses from stitchpixie. Word has it they’re the perfect size for iPod Nanos too.

Cuuuuuuute. And more in my price range than the bag.

I’m not really one for jewelry, but handmade julz makes some pretty snappy stuff. I dig ‘em, but I’d save my allowance for the bag first.

Shawn Parks makes some nifty bags too. He does a couple different sizes, and he makes them out of that orange fencing that is supposed to keep you out of construction sites … or is it snow fencing? They’re cool bags either way.

When we have kids someday, they’ll be decked out in lots of homemade gear, but probably this stuff too:

From sky&boat. They make a cute brontosaurus one too.

And is anybody else on Twitter? I’d been avoiding it for months, but I hear more and more about it every day. I set up my cell phone this morning. Let me know if you’re rockin’ it so we can hook up.

That is all.

We got to share in the 1 – year banquet festivities for Kaitlyn Jane Krauss. Grandma Jane explained everything for two hours, only part of which involved the “why?” of the event. Apparently the first birthday is a big deal in China due to high infant mortality rates. Everyone assumes, though, if you make it to One, you’re set. Way to go Kaitlyn!

It was fun.
