Jet in a Frame

[anogete]

The lovely sunshade worked her artistic magic on a drawing of Jet for me. I received it in the mail today and have hung it up in my office to properly decorate with my weirdness. It is living in a picture frame I found. Now Jet can watch over me as I work.

I was going to scan it, but all the scanners in the office were being hogged by actual work. Can you believe that? So, I took a picture with my cell phone camera after I framed it. Hence the slight reflection.





Isn't it super awesome? Thank you, sunshade!!!

EDIT: From theredzebra1:

1. Grab the book closest to you.
2. Open it on page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Copy the next three sentences into your blog.
5. Tag five people.

I may, said Morgan le Fay, for I have such hasty tidings, that I may not tarry. Well, said Guenever, ye may depart when ye will. So early on the morn, or it was day, she took her horse and road all that day and most part of the night, and on the morn by noon she came to the same abbey of nuns whereas lay King Arthur; and she knowing he was there, she asked where he was.

It's from Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur, which I'm slogging my way through. Holy crap, some parts of it can be drier than a desert.

And for the tagging - I'd like to see anyone who is interested do it, if only to see what you've been reading lately.

That is a great illustration, I agree. :)

An Ancient Israelite sect called the Estenes dressed in white, as do some kabbalists. I should have been wearing all white from day one, but it was one of those rules I felt I had to build up to. Now that I'm doing it, I don't want to stop.
From The Year of Living Biblically, by A.J. Jacobs. Definitely an interesting read. It makes me want to pick up the Bible again and compare what's in the pages to what I've internalized from years of religious education.

"... Next moon it will be another lass, as it always is. I don't know why this girl is causing so much trouble, except they say she has a temper - but don't all women?"

Kord laughed, tension easing as his own idiocy struck him.

Thanks for playing. I got a comment from the author of the book that I used in the meme! *speechless* About jumped out of my skin!

Wow! That is very cool! A few months ago I posted a little blurb/review about a film I had watched on DVD. The next day the producer of the film had left me a message thanking me for recommending the film. I was flabbergasted, but it felt so cool to know that people like that really do appreciate all us fans.

ooooo. nice stylish pic of Jet!

And I'll post one meme here:

"None of the Pirates was particularly good at plumbing, so the Captain had to finish washing his beard off in the spray of water bursting from the broken pipe. Then he went downstairs and, after getting dressed, spending a few minutes tying ribbons in his beard and practising some victorious faces for the benefit of Cutlass Liz, the Pirate Captain strode back onto the deck to see how the whale painting was going. He was glad to see that they'd managed to paint about half of the beast's great face a nice shade of 'Orchid Haze'."
