Actually, there isn’t, yet, but there very soon could be… Aren’t these hidden animal teacups adorable?

(Found via My Owl Barn)

And that owl cup would make an excellent carrot for reaching 20K on the current project. (No, I am not above self-bribery when it comes to writing. Especially at the beginning.)

Because I am in a drafting fog, with not enough brain to put together something more coherent, here are a few other tidbits:

~Yesterday at my day job (I design software to turn globes into maps. Yes, it involves MATH. Fortunately I love geometry!) I misread something referring to the somethingtechnical methodology as the somethingtechnical mythology. Which would probably require something a lot stronger than an if/else statement to implement.

~Hey, don’t steal books! Saundra Mitchell lays out exactly how book piracy has hurt her, and other authors, personally. Remember, libraries are your friend!

~Here’s a nifty 12-point plan to be a creative badass, by author Justine Musk (thanks to Stephanie Burgis for the link!). I especially like #11, Get Open. A good reminder to open myself up to whatever the universe sends me. As a historically shy person who can be a closed-up creature of habit, I do need to actively *practice* being open to new experiences. This is probably worth an entire blog post, about Zumba and LARPing and finding ways to let oneself go deeper into one’s fictional world. Will have to ponder this more…

~Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Pancake mix is delicious! But also, sadly, seasonal.

~We adopted our dog Charlie three years ago today. He’s the best dog! And he keeps us moving…

Dogs make life look so fun, don’t they?
