I have a haircut! It's pretty cool. But my internet is still capped :( so no pics. Instead, have llamas.

Also I totally have a 1500 word report due on Wednesday. I should be doing it now but I thought I was just hopping on quickly before my relatives arrive for my dad's birthday, except they are... not arriving, and not arriving. I got him a Three Musketeers graphic novel, incidentally. I was in Kings Comics to gett my Free Comic Books Day comic and I was like heeey.

In other news, Sam Starbuck i.e. [livejournal.com profile] copperbadge, writer of some of my favourite Heroes fic ever, not to mention a shitload of excellent HP fanfic and Discworld fanfic, and of course the famous Torchwood LOLcat Fic, just self-published Nameless, his first original novel, edited and designed with the help of LJ readers.

Christopher, the only bookseller in the small farm town of Low Ferry, lives an uneventful life -- until one day he encounters a shy newcomer named Lucas, and accidentally sells him the wrong book. What follows is a journey for both men, in vastly different ways, set against the strange, ritualistic, magic backdrop of a midwestern winter.

You can check out more about Nameless at his blog post:

or buy Nameless from Lulu here:

I was one of the followers of his journal who read Nameless one chapter at a time and flooded the poor man with constructive criticism, and it was pretty awesome to watch this thing take shape. If recommendation is insufficient motivation to buy, it's also currently available as a free PDF. I myself intend to buy the book as soon as I a) fix my Paypal account and b) figure out how much it's going to cost me given conversion and postage. Lulu refuses to give me an invoice in AUD. It is annoying.

Aha, i has a grandma! Time for foods, oh my god, I am so hungry!

Once you fix your Paypal account, it has a currency converter in there somewhere!
