I'm going to be on vacation this coming Wednesday through Sunday, so I'll be out of the office for this coming September 20th for the release of <insert trumpet fanfare> Altered Curiosities: Assemblage Techniques & Projects by Jane Ann Wynn:

Gentle reader Jane Wynn has a book coming out on September 20th - a real, live book!  And it's not one of those self-published dealies, either, or some sort of weird Tony Robbins-type book that get handed at motivational seminars - it's a real book on Amazon. 

It must be very exciting to have a book published - I mean, I'm excited and it's not even my book.  Jane makes jewelry and neat little shrine-y things.  (Also she can draw beautifully, too, and has illustrated this book and the instructions.)

Handsome Mister Goats and I are moving into a new apartment at the beginning of October, so I won't really be able to do any projects until then, but I'm imagining from looking at the cover that there's going to be several I'll want to try.  Doesn't the cover look like a candid photograph of the craft table of Wednesday Addams?  Doll heads and nails and teeth - oh, my!  Fun!  I pre-ordered my copy weeks ago from Jane, and I'm hotly anticipating getting my copy now that it's coming out.  You can order your own from Amazon or directly from Jane if want a signed copy plus bonus print.

I think this book will be the missing link I need to construct a powerful working shrine to the Mighty Blessed Oprah, from whom all blessings flow, so that I can cast magical spells by calling upon her powers.  A good shrine will sure come in handy if we have a party and any of the guests die and need to be resurrected, or even if we just run low on liquor.  The famed Jesus of Nazareth, who originally cast the water-into-wine spell the first time, did it because he knew that being a good hostess means never running out of booze.

I found these two pics on my desktop, remnants of an earlier trip to California a year or two ago - I may have posted them before:

The second most depressing store in the world to shop at, right after "The Emporium of Tiny Used Collars From Kittens Who Died Because No One Loved Them Enough"

If you want to buy some childrens of the retarded variety, you can purchase them here.

If you should ever run across a funny/sad/decrepit window display, why not enter the photograph into my Flickr pool, Window Displays Of The Living Dead?  It's the second-most exciting thing to do on Flickr, second only to angrily masturbating to photographs of LarsNYC [NSFW due to their extreme sexiness].  Why are you so sexy, Lars NYC?  Why?!?!  I hate you!  Show me MORE!  Mmmpf!

That is all.
