Five things make a posse

[pjthompson]

1. It is difficult to make a five things list when you’re not in the mood to talk about stuff. I am not sure if I’ll be around much, other than the odd quote of the day. Then again, I may be chattering like a chimp. Hard to predict.

2. I’ve decided I’m down with smearing egoboo all over myself in public. I got one of the best pro reviews of my writing I’ve ever had. Helpful and a boost when I needed it. Thank you, OWW and John Klima. Now I guess I need to finish that novel.

3. My copy of Bioshock remains virgo intacta though it arrived weeks ago. I must figure out how to arrange for time and energy to play it.

4. I got the greatest idea for making handmade Christmas cards. I wish I’d gotten the idea back in July. Maybe next year.

5. Here’s something from Daydream Believer by the Monkees that sums things up nicely:

Cheer up sleepy Pjthompson
oh what can it mean.

Which song was this lyric from?

What's your card idea (or is it secret)?

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

No, not secret: I found a cache of vintage cards online (actually, they're everywhere). I thought I might try printing them out on card stock, or even paper then glue them on card stock, and use them as a basis for collage, with bits of lace and beads and whatever attached. Real, individualized cards—but I'm short on time and energy these days, so I'm not sure I could get any done in time to be mailed. Such is life.

That's a great idea! I remember for a while I had a Victorian scrapbook--you could cut out the images, mix and match them, and use them on cards.

... yeah, I used to make cards too; I love making cards, but time, time, time, see what's become of me, to quote Simon & Garfunkel...

I always think of that S&G song when time seems fleeting...

And actually, you could do this with old Xmas cards you received/hoarded, I suppose. Doesn't have to be vintage, but those are always so charming.

I'm such an idiot not to have said this first time round...

Cool beans about the egoboo...
I've heard BioShock is really good. I just haven't managed to get copy of it myself.

And a day is always better when the Monkees are involved..

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Hey, hey, they're the Monkees, dude.

And I still can't tell you if Bioshock is any good. Some day.

all my ideas are your idea #4.

ps, ooooh I hated that song as a kid
