I neglected to mention, in my wretchedness last night, that just as we were getting out of the car from coming home last night, there was a stag meandering down the middle of the street. We went to the front of the house to look at him. He stopped to look at us. I'm trying to get over my deer issues, you know. "You stay on your side of the street, buddy," I warned him. He looked at me, as if to say the same thing, and then wandered off. You may not know this, but deer hate me. Not only have I been involved in a number of deer v. car interactions, but also, I have been personally attacked by deer in the past. In fact, most hoofed mammals seem to have a problem with me. Horses will wander from the other side of the paddock to bite me. Goats will... well, drink my beer, but I'm pretty sure goats will drink anybody's beer, so I suppose that doesn't count. I don't know why I'm the target of hoofed-mammal hate, but there it is.

Also, since Winter Bazaar is practically upon us, I spent some quality time making jewelry last night. I finished all of Diva's commissions, which is good. (I like to have commissions, because they guarantee I'll get paid for the piece, but I also dislike them, because I'm never sure that what I make will live up to people's expectations. I'm neurotic like that.) Then, I had the Song of Amergin in my brain (for which I blame the deer), so I made three or four pieces that were based on that. I'm trying to work out whether I should label them with the lines they're about when I take them for sale. On the one hand, I'm pretty sure people are more likely to buy a piece that has a title, but on the other, how pretentious!

My brain still turns this icon into an owl when I am not looking directly at it.

Just thought you'd be ammused by that.

Some people can carry that sort of thing off. I suspect that I'm not one of them. I don't have the er... presence, I guess.

I am the poodle asleep on the bed.

But lovely printed cards with the entire verse on them would probably cause you to sell out in no time flat.

I can totally do "I am a poodle, asleep on the bed". I have just the thing for it. I'm making it.

I'm totally thinking an Alternative Song of Amergin could come of this, to go with our alternative Virtues.

Hell yeah. It's like the Hollywood Amergin, so far.
