Prisons and Toes and Giraffes, oh my.

The internet is amazing...

Going to Federal Prison?
Learn it ALL at FedsGotMe.com

This is pretty cool actually- it's a book for sale about how to survive the US prison system.

I think it'd be useful reading for someone writing prison fic. Here's a link to an excerpt to give you an idea of the information contained within it.

On the Me front- I got my foot into the shoe and everything was fine in the house, until I tried to step down to walk outside. Ow. Am going to reserve my shoe moments for taking out the trash later today. (The 40 pound bag has now got a baby brother, which I hope to grow up to go with him.) Grass is now evolving into a sentient life-form. Have not seen Bootless-- grass may have et him. Still thunderstorming most of the day. If I could sleep well & get up early & walk with shoes, I would mow lawn in the A.M. when thunderstorms not yet begun. Although, at this point, a machete might be in order first... or at least a weed-whacker. My Internal Wind is finally subsiding, but not before all the fennel dried out my throat and got that sore. I want a refund on this body, it's always having decorative trim fall off, rear end misalignment, etc.

Got tired of pre-sorting stuff, so brought in the last 8 or so boxes of stuff into the room. At least I know it will all physically fit, even if I don't throw out more (which I will, eventually-- came across a stack of printouts/handwritten notes, etc. to go through, that's the most time-consuming.)

Ok, not a productive use of time

But it was fun! I unearthed the refrigerator poetry set blakefancier had given me years ago. I had put the bits into a metal tray, which was nice, but not terribly convenient. I glanced into my 'stuff what hasn't got a use but is potentially useful' and I found a strap meant to go around luggage-- back in the day, this was cool, but how to get it to stay on? Aha! Double-stick poster tape. Umm... only got 3 tiny bits) & it wasn't secure enough. Glue dots! YAY!

And then I stood in the kitchen for an hour, playing with it before hanging it up on the wall. Can you read it?
