Courtesy is a dying art form. This makes me sad. The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head he went galumphing back. I had been told rumors but I thought they were just over-reacting. But as it turns out, they were not. Fuzzy pelt & cartoon totem worshipers be damned. Sad sad state of affairs when someone cannot just be honest and say it to your face. Ah well, have you seen my finger paintings? It's their loss. Truly, their loss. But not for you! This cryptic and strange wayward post is just to say that a few new things have been popped into the shop: http://ettadiem.etsy.com Thank you for passing through! Oh! And on a happy note, to the left is the nearly final draft for my tarot card set. I've begun my publisher solicitors this week.

"We have laid in thought and waiting for long.
Our bodies have become opaque, the world shines right thru them.
Our words have no weight, our breath is but fire ash..."
