The fourth result in Google for "kiloindiatango", aka, the kitiara is "Flickr: Items tagged with firearms". That is digital serendipity.

My feed LJ link is now correct and active again. :O

I've put in a support request to update my feed account on LJ (thank you, Eden, for opening it): http://www.livejournal.com/support/see_request.bml?id=636814

For those who don't want to subscribe to the LJ syn, the new URI is http://feeds.feedburner.com/hauntedpalace.

Love, love.

For tyche, jbmanning, and dammitjulie:



I wish I'd made it myself. :D

I am sooooo tempted to print out a gajillion copies of the appropriate size on cardstock with a pattern on one side, cut out all the squares, and make a Memory game for Barrett and Sarah. I have a Xyron....hmmmm....

I thought this was worth its own LJ entry, all by its weird self. 'Cause I'm weird. But you know that by now. Hopefully.



Some people just send flowers.

Friend wants an icon that says "Right you are, Ken". Wants it so that she puts it on her big, pending to-do list. What's a loved one to do?

Thanks to darksong, the Haunted Palace has an LJ feed: hauntedpalace_s (info, add). Hooray! Thank you. :)

I can't create feed accounts, because Six Apart changed rights, etc., and my being an "Early Adopter" doesn't mean the same as it used to....

Would one of you please create http://www.hauntedpalace.net/?atom=1 as an LJ feed? It's for my whole site: ex libris and the queen's caffeine. Danke! :)

No, my Mom is not Valerie Bertinelli.
