Freelance math and Saturday chores

This morning's mail brings the delivery money for "Landed Alien."  After deducting 33% for taxes , there's enough left over to pay the plumber's bill for the timely rescue on August 3, which invoice also arrived today.  That's what you call your perfect timing.

In other news, the laundry's doing, I have chicken marinating for this afternoon's stir-fry, and I think I heard the dirty dishes muttering the opening lines of  the "Wreck of the Hesperus" a little while ago, so...better deal with that rsn.

Still lookin' for a home, one (used) but perfectly wearable size MEDIUM t-shirt from BaltiCon 43, art by Kurt Miller. If you can use this t-shirt please write to me (at rolanniATkorvalDOTcom) and let's work something out*

How's your Saturday?

-----
*"work something out" means that I'm open to barter, trade, or purchase. It also means that I am willing to mail you (or a party designated by you) the t-shirt because you (or they) will enjoy it and/or get use out of it.  In the latter case, I will ask you to reimburse the postage.

I should mention that I liked Landed Alien very much.

Me, too. I like the character of Kara ven’Arith and where you've gone with her. I would say more but (insert audio clip of River Song saying "Spoilers!" here) I like Orn Ald yos'Senchul, too, and would like to learn more of his story.

So many stories to tell, so little time to tell them in...

It is unfortunate for us greedy readers. However if we wish real hard (and do not annoy the authors) perhaps the characters will get at least a walk on role in an upcoming book.

Last night, among the other amusements of the three-hour special about the fireworks contest held once a year in northern Japan, there was a background remix song... made me smile.

Your dreams come true!
