Monitors and Athames

[crowdog66]

And on a completely unrelated note to my previous entry, I'll announce that in celebration of some regular comic work coming in, our household will soon have two new items. One of them is a gorgeous LaCie 19" Electron Blue monitor, complete with spiffy light-blocking hood. This monitor is one of the best out there, and we were able to get it from someone else in Winnipeg via the classified section on the Mantek site. $310 dollars, delivered. Bonus!



The second purchase is more personal. I've been looking for a nice, plain athame (the Wiccan ritual knife which lies on the altar, representing the male principle for what should be fairly obvious reasons) for some time now, to supplement the small, delicate curved one I use for private ritual. In public/group work, I needed something a little more substantial, something that would be easily visible across a circle of one hundred people. And on eBay, I found it:



The auction info read: "Simple stainless steel knife. Blade length is 5 1/2" The perfect everyday athame - with a simple and traditional style - a lovely addition to a traditional altar. Overall length is 9". Comes with black sheath. Double edged blade."

Absolutely perfect.

I came across these in my eBay searches, re: athames in a claymore style:

and this pretty little fellow:

Both of them are "Buy It Now"s for under $20 US and will ship to Canada, which should cost under $15. :-)

Both of these comments, of course, offered strictly for info if you want to get a tiny claymore to stand in until you get a full-sized one ;-)

The vanilla latte was freaking DELICIOUS, thank you. :-D The end of the world must be near, because I've found a Starbucks drink that I actually like.

Probably be by later this evening to get another one... heh.

LOL - that's what I find key to the drinks... less coffee... more milk... that's why I suggested only 1 shot in the cup instead of the usual two... :D

plus they have a good tea line-up.. Tazo Chai Latte's are very delish as well..

talk soon! *HUGS*
