At random ...

-- I took a ride down to the mall to spend some time at Borders and price laptops. I probably won't buy a new one, although I am sorely tempted. There was a perfect one for my needs on sale for $450, but that was after a rebate that expires tomorrow. Oh, that's just perfect.

-- Literary tattoos. Heh. Two of mine totally count. Looking at all of those makes me want to get this again (I've toyed with getting it for years 'cause, you know, poetry AND apocalypse) :

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

That, or a towel. Although I don't know too many people who'd get why I had a towel tattoo. *shrugs*

That's another reason I might not get a laptop, too. Because I really, really, REALLY want another tat.

-- You know what I think is hindering my work on the new novel idea? I haven't decided on a setting. It really helps for me to pick a place and set it there. The Books of Boggs is set in the Scranton area, the new novel is set in DC. My problem is that I just don't know any other places personally like that. I'd use New Orleans but the only time I was there was pre-Katrina and ... well. Hmm.

So you always know where it is, of course.

Get a towel... with the poetry on it.

+10 to your score, man.

A guy at a forum I frequent just got a towel done on the inside of his wrist, with "Don't Panic" written above it. I absolutely love it.

Is it because a towel is the single most important thing to have with you when hitchhiking in the galaxy? :D

A towel would be hard to tattoo, but you'd be a hoopy frood who always knows where her towel is.

So you'd always know where your towel was!

I have the number 42 as a tatt, and explaining it always gets a few different reactions. Of course, the best are those who don't have to ask what it means.

All of the right people would know what the towel meant. :-)

The best literary tat I've ever seen said "Philosophy" if you looked at it one way and "Art & Science" if you looked at it upside down.

I was very tempted.
