Okay, I have to say that one of the coolest, weirdest, most unexpected joys in life these days is when I order stuff on-line, and it arrives with notes from the vendors saying “Love your work!” This is as close to being famous as I’ve ever been, or frankly am likely to be (nobody recognizes authors on the street, after all) and damn, it’s neat.

So, because they both made me happy recently in that regard, Villainess has the best damn body cream I’ve ever used, and  sockdreams.com has really, really cool socks.

(I finally bit the bullet and ordered some New Rocks, and then I needed socks other than my standard ankle fuzzies, and…well…DAMN those are some cool socks.)
