When I’m not blogging, I am knee-deep in revisions of my novel.
I’m not sure I’ve quite captured the vast amount of scrawling going on. Even though this round actually involves less drastic change! It’s all a process…

I had a fun package arrive this week. I realized that I was missing a vital resource for my upcoming trip–a shirt to wear when I attend Phantom of the Opera. I had one that I wore to the last, er, six performances I saw, but it got a stain on it. So I went on CafePress to solve this problem…
I wanted something a little more unique than just the logo, and this looked fun. Tip if you ever buy from CafePress though–they cut large!
And now I need your opinion on something. So I definitely wear the shirt to the play–do I also wear it to the Paris Opera House? Is it a fun conversation-starter, or does it brand me as the crazy fangirl who’ll be the 1,000th person to ask about Box Five?
Decisions, decisions. Let me know what you think 🙂 and of course, check out more Saturday Snapshots on At Home with Books.
My current car is the first one I haven’t shared (well, borrowed from parents, really), so when it became mine I decided to personalize! Then I spent a few months not able to commit to any bumper stickers I saw in shops. Is any random joke really that clever to stick on my car for years? Finally I went online, and here’s what I ended up with…
When I bought “I’d rather be sailing the high seas with Captain Jack,” I of course meant Captain Jack Sparrow–and mostly I do still mean him, because he’s one of my favorite characters ever. But if Captain Jack Harkness from Doctor Who invited me on a voyage, I’d go with him too!
As to being haunted by the Phantom of the Opera…that seems to say it so well. He’s lived in my head for years.
The “Perform Random Acts of Shakespeare” one has prompted people to ask me if I’m in theatre. I’m not–but I like Shakespeare. And I quote him frequently.
The Starfleet emblem should be pretty self-explanatory. And as to “Coexist” I do believe in coexisting, on a lot of levels; I wanted something different than the blue sticker everyone else has. And space–it’s pretty amazing.
I felt like I could commit to all of these, because the most recent interest represented here is the Phantom–and that’s going on eight years. So I’m pretty sure I’m not going to wind up turning away from any of these and regretting the sticker!
Anyone else have a cool bumper sticker? Or do you remember seeing a fun one?

I didn’t plan to post London photos two weeks in a row…but with the Olympics starting this weekend, it just seems to be a natural focus!

I’ve had London on my mind quite a bit lately, probably because I’m going there in September! I’ve been loving all the Paris photos that have been turning up in Saturday Snapshot this month, but I thought I’d represent the other side of the Channel today. I have lots of photos from my last trip, and I could give you all my beautiful landmark photos–and maybe I will another week–but today I feel like giving you the random ones instead. 🙂
These statues are at the British Museum, and are just begging to be captioned, “If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs…” With thanks to Rudyard Kipling!
This is a book vending machine, which just seems like a fantastic idea–not so much for the convenience (you can buy books lots of places) but for the mindset of it. Why shouldn’t books be as readily accessible as unhealthy food?
I’m a fan of the Running Green Man. That’s what I call him, and he shows up on signs here and there. Stick figures in America are always walking so sedately. All this fellow is trying to indicate is the direction of the exit, but he seems to be heading towards it at full-tilt.
I think I’ll make that my exit for the day too. Head over to At Home with Books for more Saturday Snapshots!
