i'm dropping my signal for a week

2010-01-18T06:26:00.000-08:00

today i'm getting all four of my wisdom teeth extracted. since i don't heal as quickly as other people (genetics are a bitch) and i've been given a prescrip for a week's worth of percocet, i'm not answering email, tweets, facebook posts, chats, ims, blog comments, phone calls or my doorbell.

if you desperately, desperately need to get in touch with me, like, if it's life or death, email leff. i might get back to you by sunday.

otherwise, i'll be back in the land of the living in about seven days. stupid fucking awesome is set to autopost so head over there if you need a fix.

i can't believe i forgot to mention this!

2010-01-06T09:43:00.001-08:00

kristen rask's button and stitch book is out! this one is even cooler than her usual books (to me at least)(although all of her books are super great!)) 'cause i've got a project included!

g'wan! check it out at the store! buy a copy (@ amazon or, preferably at your local bookshop)! there are some really cute projects in the book!

ps-- if you'd like something brief to read, head on over to stupid f awesome!

g'wan! check it out!

2010-01-04T17:08:00.000-08:00
