A few quick Tuesday notes.

Mantis: still in my bathroom. He has relocated his tiny insectivore self to the roll of paper towels, where he has a higher vantage from which to snatch unsuspecting flies out of the air and devour their tiny brainless bodies. He's very yellow, and too small for my camera (which is actually Rey's camera, and not terribly high-tech) to be very happy about trying to focus on him. Which is a pity, 'cause he's pretty.

The mantis will probably be going to live in Kate and GP's garden tonight, where, as Kate puts it, 'he will grow fat and strong in the Bird of Paradise.' As they currently have no mantids, and I have an entire home-grown colony, this is probably fair, but I'm still going to miss him.

Lycanthropy: still finished. I was a little worried when I woke up this morning that I'd discover my belief that the book was done to be some sort of perverse, wicked hallucination, brought about by inhaling too many Sharpie fumes, but no, the book is really done. This draft of the book, anyway. Now I get to start doing the heavy lifting of revision and correction...but since you can't revise or correct until a book is finished, I'm really not finding myself all that concerned.

Although...



...just sayin'.

Lilly would like my attention now, and as I do not believe in thwarting Siamese when avoidable, I'll be back later.

Thank you! I try very hard to be a kind person, because I figure that's what balances out the tiny, giggling corner of my heart that says 'what if we threw a pandemic and everybody came?' at inopportune moments.

You clearly are very kind, but as I have yet another question, feel free to inject some of that ebola into the big vein of my right arm:

I know you may not be the person to ask, but how does one purchase a CD from your site with cash?

The main danger of doing cash is that you'd be sending it through the mail -- I really recommend either check or money order, just for the sake of safety. That said, if you select the 'check' option during the order process, it'll give you an address to which the check can be sent. Sending cash to the same place would absolutely work.
