SALE! And a Skillet. Unrelated.

That's about as much "holiday spirit" as I've got these days, announcing a sale. But still. All the glorious shinies in the Etsy shop (except for the "Made to Order Shiny" section, 'cause I only take orders when I get paid) is 20% off until November 21. (If you're in the market for geeky paper goods, you can also check out Schala's Etsy shop.)

So one of the local grocery store chains is doing a promotion where you get a stamp for every $10 you spend and can eventually exchange all of the little stamps for Cuisinart cookware. This is kind of a big deal, because it's not crap or off-brand. And sure it takes a damn long time to get to the point where you can get something but holy shit real pans and stuff and it took from the beginning of September but hell yeah I got myself the 12" skillet that can be used as an alarmingly effective weapon. I've never had a real skillet before, this is weird and amazing and I can now officially beat the living crap out of anyone that might try to take it away from me. Two-handed action, even.

In other news, Arcee. It is totally okay if this means nothing to you. I haven't gotten a shipping confirmation yet so I still can't confirm that this is a real thing that's happening, but.

And now it is cold and dark and obviously fall. Well, we're supposed to have sunshine tomorrow, but... New England. Every day is a guess.
