books, picspam, mini bottles

[nid_dabeille]

I got a book today - Naval Surgeon: The Voyages of Dr. Edward H. Cree, Royal Navy, as Related in His Private Journals, 1837-1856.  It's full of his own journal entries and watercolors.  It was dirt cheap on amazon.

Oh, cionaudha, I also got Regeneration.  But I won't start until I'm done with Adm. Byrd.  ARGH and I haven't finished Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death yet either!

And in other book news, I'm really fond of my Moby Dick popup book.  Sounds silly, I know, but the popups are amazing!  So I've prepared a picspam.  I'm too tired to type about it, but a picture is worth a thousand words.

Also, I made little gold capped crystal bottles to go in Stephen's dressing case.

My favorite part - you can look through the telescope...

And now for something completely different:  bottles.

Thank you! I like the way they turned out too, so fancy. They're a love present for Stephen, even though he'll probably just put little bones or beetles in them instead of the usual vanity items.

I just got another Stereophonics CD, the Sex, Language, whatever it's called, Other. I like it but I haven't gotten used to it enough to have a favorite, or to even really remember any of the songs except the first one. I keep on singing in a high voice, "Superman in an aeroplane!"

Aww, but he loves his little beetles and bones, doesn't he? It would just show that he cherishes your present. ;)

I can never remember the right order of that title, I just call it LSVO, it's easier to remember. XD
I'd say that's my second favourite album, but I couldn't pick a favourite either... maybe `Pedalpusher´, just because the "Puuuuushhh!" amuses me.

VIOLENCE, that was the other word. :D

And which album has "Have a nice day"? How many albums do they have anyway?

I don't even know the names of the songs because I've been listening to it in the car exclusively, and didn't look at the list of titles as I was driving.

`Have A Nice Day´ is on Just Enough Education To Perform (JEEP).
They have 6 albums out now:
- Word Gets Around
- Performance & Cocktails
- Just Enough Education To Perform
- You Gotta Go There To Come Back
- Language. Sex. Violence. Other?
- Pull The Pin

I was pretty disappointed by the last album though. But, you know, other people like it...
