omnia_mutanturi wish to make a career out of the fact that i am compulsive.
the idea of being paid organize things, or to force people to organize things sounds like the Best Thing Evah.
I made bad food last night and finished Areas of my Expertise. I'm about to finish a steve martin book, which seems pretty unexceptional. Tonight's curried peanut soup however totally made up for last night's failure. This weekend we purchased a bedframe and a hell of a lot of cleaning supplies, including a new mop AND a new broom, 'cause i'm crazy like that. and i got to hang out with Tulip and Algonquin. And stuff between Light and I seems to have calmed down.
Currently, we're looking at home exercise equipment on amazon.com, because I know I'll never go to a gym, and i found one of the strangest amazon lists "So you'd like to...Get Fit with the Fairies", which includes the funniest book description i've had the misfortune to read.
With her mentor, a monarch butterfly fairy, Marigold learns how to be a fairy, and discovers things like the Fairy Handbook, the vast variety of fairy wands, how to create fairy lights, the purpose of fairies, what gnomes do, and the three things gremlins are afraid of. She attends fairy circle and meets her new friends —Thistle, Dragonfly, and Firefly. They discover that the brownies, keepers of the Feather of Hope, which is the source of all hope on Earth, need their help. Marigold must enlist the aid of her dachshund, Peanut, in a daring mission to rescue the Feather of Hope from a house occupied by dangerous gremlins.
From the Author
The Fairy Chronicles is a series of modern fairy tales full of magical creatures, both good and evil, and heroic characters who participate in dangerous missions to protect nature and fix serious problems. Ideal for all ages, reading levels ages 7 to 12, the stories include a diverse set of fairy characters and a wide variety of other magical creatures such as trolls, brownies, witches, dwarves, gnomes, elves, unicorns, goblins, wizards, dragons, ogres, magic gargoyles, gremlins, demons, nymphs, giants, and many more.
Each story has some sort of problem to be solved such as recovering the stolen Shell of Laughter, helping to break an evil curse, solving the mystery of the Magic Snowglobe, rescuing kidnapped bat fairies, trying to locate missing human shadows, or helping a dragon complete a dangerous quest. Characters and readers learn interesting things such as why fairies fear jigsaw puzzles, what the trolls’ favorite foods are, why the flamingo stands on one foot, the reason human beings have a shadow, what the grasshopper uses buttons for, where courage comes from, how hope is spread around the world, and what causes nightmares.
I probably shouldn't mock, maybe it's very sweet. But I had to share.
