Attempting to get caught up, and failing

[slipjig3]

1) Preparations for Blogathon continue ever onward. Thanks to the lovely spoothbrush, the awesome daev, and the groovy Mysterious Anonymous Donor, I'm already up to $50 in pledges for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society! Thank you so much, y'all! As an added incentive to all who pledge, I am offering the following: for each donation, I will create for the donor a one-of-a-kind handcrafted personalized puzzle of whatever sort you wish. So don't be shy—click here and make your pledge today (and of course, tune in to this bloggy-thingy starting at 9 am EST on July 28 for all the showtime excitement). While you're at it, check out rafaela's Blogathon blog at star_barnkitty; also, allow me to promote the Blogathon activities of zarhooie, shadesong, mnfiddledragon, yunatwilight, spoothbrush and shadowwolf13. (Aiee, who did I miss?)

2) Having been gifted with some marvelous venison from my ex-father-in-law, we headed over to Chez Melchert this evening, where jenphalian cooked us a magnificent meal, lbitw took some lovely pictures of Anna in her garb, and zarhooie, just back from her travels, slipped me my first taste ever of Vosges chocolate. *inhales sharply* I have decided that I am now going to devote the remainder of my mortal life to the worship of the Goji Bar, which is, near as I can tell, an orgasm wrapped in foil.

3) The following is taken from a flyer for a storytelling concert that took place locally last night:

"Bil Lepp is the Wonder Bra of storytelling. He takes something small and insignificant, and pushes it up into something realllly BIG and miiighty interesting!" — Barbara McBride Smith

This goes to show that there's nothing so wholesome that it can't be advertised with gratuitous cleavage.

1) Yay, I'm lovely!

2) Mmmm, goji bar. $5, but such a delicious $5. I also like the one with salt and smoked almonds and just wish it were darker.

3) Can I have something that I have to decode?

1) You're actually surprised at this? Silly girl.

2) I've long said that if I happen to die at a young age, expensive chocolates will somehow be responsible.

3) Absolutely! We'll touch base on the details after the 'thon.

Ooh! Where can I find one of these?

Here's the official web page for the product (you can backlink for the rest of their stuff, which I understand is uniformly amazing). Since you're in a major urban area, though, you're probably best off finding a boutique that sells them, so you don't have to pay for S&H (they ship in ice, which gets pricey). I'd recommend asking shadesong where to seek them out.

Oooh, I second that: they are uniformly amazing. One of the local cooking-supplies stores also sells Vosges ice creams. *swoon*
