Kissable mug
August 3, 2003 at 6:10 pm | In yulelogStories | Comments OffI don’t know how Teresa Nielsen Hayden finds these nuggets, but Making Light has done it again with a prize pointer to what she calls “particles”: this one is entitled A Swedish practical joke, and it confirms my suspicion (in yesterday’s Timewarp buzz) that too much daylight will finally fry your brain — and put hair on your face!
In Sooke
August 3, 2003 at 10:18 am | In yulelogStories | Comments OffFrederique and Sinclair Philip of The Sooke Harbour House are hosting an art auction and tea today from 1-4 p.m. to benefit the Women in the Woods. What a great idea: a linkage of sustainable economic and agricultural activity, site-specific tourism (vs. 3rd world-manufactured “disney” style doo-dads flogged downtown to the tourists), local art, and raising money for activists. The Sooke Harbour House is so bloody upscale that it’s typically out of my price-range, but this tea is only $15: oh, pardon me, mater, I’m going to the auc-tion today!
The Stinking Fish Studio Tour in Sooke is also on this week. Lots of reasons to head into the wild wild western summer of the Island.
