An update: we had a fire at my house and it's been quite interesting and horrible. It destroyed my computer ("Scorch marks all on the inside," the repair man said), ate some of my poetry collection, and together the fire and water "embellished" a lot of books (my Supermachines have a fancy new burned border and ALL TEN of my copies of
Book Four are now ... unique). The sprinkler turn-on soaked a lot of stuff, and everything smells a little like the bonfires at sleepaway camp, plus burned plastic. And Ashley, the mindtroll megaphone, melted (her gruesome remains are pictured here; Ellen took the photo). So if I'm a little bit bad in communicating for the next few days, it is because I am trying to figure out my electronics situation - buy a refurbished machine? Order a new one? What. Etc.
Also this fun thing! I have some kind of weird dysmorphia where I think my body parts are smaller than they actually are. That is one disorder, and the other is a crippling eBay addiction. Now I have this pair of nigh-new Arche boots, in really good condition, in a size Eur 36. I'd say this is a women's 6 max; I thought I could fit them but I can't. So I'll try this! Do
you have very small retro feet, you
fancypants? If so, do you want to do some kind of
mystery swap through the mail or in-person if you're in NYC? Leave a comment or email me at niina . pollari at gmail. They are
even nicer than the picture depicts, and I can mail them to you along with other goodies that I choose. Let me know! Yeah.

Do you want me to send you a couple more copies of Book Four? I feel kind of terrible that they got fire-damaged.
<3
i am so so sorry to hear of the fire! what a fucking nightmare. but i am glad that you are ok.
arche is sized funky so that a 36 is a US size 5 (we sell arche at my work so i am unfortunately well informed.) if you are feinding for some arche boots do let me know & i can hook ya up.
i want to write you a very long love letter about book four but that cannot happen here, in a comment box. xox
That is horrid, mail me your address and I will send you post-fire nice things. xx
Margaret, do not feel terrible! I feel terrible that your beautiful work got wet! And all this after the mysterious post office follies. I am drying them out, and it seems they each have a unique rorschach on the inside now so I am thinking I will number and share them with friends as a special flood edition ;) I will be in touch when I run out and need 'proper' copies! XO.
Gina, yeah, I have fairly little feet but they're not THAT little and the eBay seller was ill-informed about the equivalent sizing (I should have checked). That combined with the impulse buying... well, ya know. And yay, I look fwd to hearing your thoughts!
Jane, you should know that your chapbook, with its clear cover, survived unharmed.
...Also btw, all of you ladies should know each other if you don't already.
Oh no! I'm glad all living beings are well, but fire damage is a nightmare. Let me know if you need anything in the meantime.
<3 No bueno, chickadee!! And I'm very sorry about Ashley. :( I hope they (you) know what caused the fire in the first place and steps are (have been) being taken to fix it all up.
I have big feet (8.5 US) but those shoes are schweeeet!
