"Bookstores—guaranteed to leave you both poorer, and richer for it."

So sparkly, it hurts my eyes to look at it in the sun. :D I lurve it!
I’ve been spending a lot of time this past month working on Paige Paigen. First, I’ve got a bunch of new designs, and have figured out the data merge automation into Adobe InDesign CS2 so that I can update my calendars for successive years. Second, the Paige Paigen website has been moved to Wordpress, since Posterous, the old host, has been shut down. It’s still a bit rough, but if you go to

you will find 43 different page designs for popular personal organisers in Personal, A5, and B5 sizes, with more to come!

We shared a nice meal together at a local Chinese restaurant, and when the fortune cookies came around, this one was mine. I tried for several minutes not to cry as everyone went around the table reading their fortunes, but when my turn came, I had to pass it off to someone else to read for me, and then I did cry.
Tears of absolute joy.
(I’m actually just about crying writing this)
Those of you who have followed my story over the past year will know why.”

Me. 1466 consecutive nights alone, and counting. Five more weeks, and it will be 1500 nights.
Seriously, what is it? Am I that fucking ugly? 1466 nights alone, and counting.
