The Last Unicorn

Sometimes I need a little reminder...

To laugh often and much,
To win the respect
of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation
of honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others!
To leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition.
To know even one life
has breathed easier
because you have lived -
This is to have succeeded.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Last night my laptop crapped out. It still powers on, but it usually won't even get to the login screen before it locks up. cavorite thinks that it's probably the memory, or the motherboard. I think I might still be under warranty, so I'll be checking that today. I'm borrowing Cavorite's laptop while he's at work. (Today's his first day at the new job! Woohoo!!) I really hope this machine is salvageable, I'm not in a spot where I can buy a new one.

I won't be able to check my email the way that I like, so I may be delayed in responding to people.

Through the eyes of my bear. You can see the rest of the set here.

I feel like I've outgrown Boo_Kat a long time ago, but I'm very indecisive about choosing a new name. I would like to solicit possible names from my friends list. I will add the ones I have been considering to this list and will repost a poll to let people vote on their favorites. (However, I will retain executive control and reserve the right to veto a suggestion.) Please feel free to make multiple suggestions. It would be even more helpful to know that the suggestions werent' already taken, but that's not entirely necessary. I can always alter the spelling a bit to make things work. :)

For any Buffy fan, this is a must see! Especially if you love Electric Six as well.

Hilarious video - NWS, if only for the connotations.

I'm trying to clean up my friend-list a bit, as I have too many journals and communities to keep up with. I am cutting journals of people I don't really know or I find my self half-skimming. Since I primarily post friends-only, please let me know if you would like to be added back. I imagine this isn't going to be an issue, but if it is just leave a comment.

These are two small rovings I dyed while trying out a new technique last month. I've actually spun them both. I'll post pictures of the orange soon, but I'm plying the purple/blue with some white so it's not done yet.
