November 18 - e-cards etc.
Well, I've been working away on making e-cards, a fun project to say the least. Here's a few examples
As you can see, they're all different, actually I have some that are minimal in the graphix and are more about the text, and then I have others that have no text and are just graphix.. like blank cards.
I'm making holiday cards, Christmas, Valentines, Birthday, general romance cards, BDSM cards, pride cards in rainbow colours, blank cards, apology cards.. all kinds of cards. <phew>. Lots of fun, we have a great script for them, where you can personalize them with your own messages, and get email notification when they've reached their destination, etc. When I have a big enough selection, we'll put that section of the site up, and it will be in the non-members, free area. All we'll ask is that you don't alter the card, so our little url tucked in the corner stays where it is if you use or send the image in any way for personal use. Then if webmasters want to use them for commercial use, they'll have to keep the logo on (of course), but will also need to have a banner/link acknowledgement on any page where the images are used. Other than that, they're out there to be used. I love stuff like that.
Saw Harry Potter this weekend, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've read the books, and I think the movie lived up to them. Very close to what I had imagined things to be like as a reader. It was a happy making movie. I'm looking forward to more. I still enjoyed the books more though, I think no matter how good the movie, really, for me, nothing compares to reading the story, to creating the imagery from well written details. It's always richer than what they can pack into a movie. The only place I think where I've been more impressed by the movie is when they really take very very simple stories, like fairytales, and make a huge visual feast out of them. Like the movie Legend. I don't know.. the more I think of it, the more I start to disagree with myself, how can I pick which I prefer really reading.. looking at film/movies or art... ergh... images can be very powerful as well. I'll just leave it be.
I had some great poems in my head last night... but I lost them. Too bad. It happens sometimes, I have the mood come over me, I have the imagery and the words start to form in my head, and I'm throbbing to get to the computer and pump them out, but for some reason or another I can't or don't, just keep putting it off. Now I'm sitting here, with the little scraps that I remember but I can't make anything out of them... it's like their dead. I left it too long and all I have left are little useless shreds of concepts. the carrion of ideas. They may have been really great and beautiful ideas.. but unfortunately one carcass looks remarkably like another. I'll just have to wait till something else comes along.

Thank you, for a wonderful weekend. I totally did not expect to get to see so much of you. I had a really wonderful time. The fact that even with your current assignment keeping you so busy that I still get to see you a little during the upcoming week itself is yummy.
Dinner, was amazing, I love it when you cook. There's a kind of edge to everything you make, that comes from your sheer love of food and of caring for others that infuses each mouthful with some kind of special flavor. I think I could tell if I didn't know who made it, food that you had made. (Test me at a potluck sometime).
You know what I really liked?
1) Piercing free ears to nibble on... it made me want to pull all of you into my mouth.
2) Shaving you in the tub.
3) the fact that you lost your new (but worn once now) underwear at my house, and couldn't find them before you left, and that I haven't found them yet, but they are somewhere here waiting for me... grrrrrrr... I promise you'll get them back in one piece. <wink>
4) That my body was aching and overdue to menstruate, and it just was never going to seem to start, and that when you came in at first lay down beside me, and after I told you that, that you just looked at me and said 'bleed' and that I started to flow. I love that your connection to my mind and my body and my spirit is so strong... that you sense the simplest things in me, and that you can open me up, and start parts of me up, and shift things around, with simple words, simple thoughts, love, and sheer determination.
5) Oh... I could go on for ever... so I won't do a 5. because who knows when a list like this could end.
I like it all. <grin>
I love you, and I hope you can feel me, holding you in my arms, even though you're miles away now, while your sleeping, I'm there, cradling you.
Come on.... just a little something, money for tea? for Christmas dinner? for toilet paper? for shaving cream? for a puppy? for oranges? for tampons?
