nancylebovI'll be selling buttons a hotel room by the elevator on the same floor as the con suite--the same place that I've had for the past couple of years.
The big news is that not only will I have 1" buttons, I've gotten my own press, and I'll be able to do custom little buttons.
New slogans on standard-sized buttons
Never get involved in a land war in Asia
Aikido--the Asian art of people-folding
The heck with the Joneses--I'm trying to keep up with the Jetsons
I ate a Death by Chocolate. It only made me stronger
If you friend me, do I not read?
It really does say Adam and Steve. That's what you get for depending on translations.
Minesweeper Consultant, Solitaire Expert (capital letters heavily emphasized)
My idea of heaven is a library with dim sum service
My two favorite colors are "Ooooh" and "SHINY!"
There's no place like ~
Drag God into politics, and you've ruined His reputation before you know it
Gay marriage...haven't they suffered enough?
Gay marriage...haven't they suffered enough?
It was in tune when I bought it
What did you do to the cat? It looks half dead. ---Schrodinger's wife
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Interrogative
I believe in gravity. It's always let me down.
Murphy never sleeps, but that's no reason to poke him with a sharp stick
THEY'RE LYING
You are what you eat, so stay away from the jerk chicken
You can't make an Omelas without breaking eggs
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
Been there, done that, reformatted the hard drive
The Clarke-Sturgeon Law: 90% of any suffi
Everything is more complicated than it looks. Biology is more like
everything than anything else is.
I'd rather be coding
I'm awfully busy. Do you mind if I ignore you later?
"Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Control freak. Say, 'Control freak who?' "
Music is enough for life, but one life is never enough for music
My name is "No! No! Bad Kitty!". What's yours?
My hair is this color because I ate paint chips as a child
Political skill in the absence of statesmanship is the first act of a tragedy
Proud Member of the Reality Based Community--seeking answers through judicious study of discernable reality
Tact is for people who aren't witty enough for sarcasm
There are only two ways to go. One is neither right nor wrong and the other one isn't.
What's Klingon for "Who would bother to learn a made-up language like Elvish?"
You don't need to look at my chest. These aren't the breasts you're looking for. Move along.
And there may be more, not to mention new little button slogans, but I fell and twisted my knee on some ice yesterday, so last minute things are getting done slowly or not at all.
Here's the advice I've gotten and have been doing: rest, ice, ibuproferin, elevationl. I've been meditating at it and moving the ankle around. I've also been told that spicy food is especially protective against ibuproferin stomach upset, but I haven't needed it. I may eat some for the fun of it, though.
I'm not in much pain, but the swelling gets in the way a lot, and my feeling is that I should mostly be keeping the leg elevated, which means not getting much else done. Any further advice?
Hope to be seeing many of you at Arisia.

Date: 2005-01-20 03:03 pm (UTC)Are you accepting paypal at all? I'd REALLY love the "My two favorite colors are "Ooooh" and "SHINY!"" button. probably 2 of them, actually. I can always send you the money post-Arisia (I won't be there, I'm afraid), but conversion is a pain (actually, I'll likely pay the money to someone in the US by paypal and have them send it to you - small international orders are a pain for me, and likely for you).

Date: 2005-01-28 10:28 pm (UTC)I'd really like to snag that one for a friend -- how would you suggest I go about placing the order?
*continues poking around on the site in the meantime* I may actually get around to ordering the "Deborah Tannen Thinks I'm A Man" button while I'm here . . .

Date: 2005-01-20 08:12 pm (UTC)Have you been doing any compression? It's the C in RICE - rest, ice, compression..... works well while sleeping as the others (except rest) are very hard to pull off then.

Barring my suddenly winning the lotter and quitting work, I won't be at Arisia, but...
