Silver Fish & Silverfish Not At All The Same

The only kind of silver fish I’m able to deal with seeing even in a picture. Vintage postcard courtesy of Vintage Travel Postcards at Blogspot.

Almost everyone has some kind of creepy-crawly they react to irrationally. For my mother-in-law it is all insects and arachnids and most varmints, too. For my daughter, it seems to be spiders that set her off. My husband gets the heebie-jeebies from camel crickets. Whereas for me? It’s silverfish. *shudders* I hate them. Ugh. Show me a spider and I’m unimpressed, but show me a freaking silverfish and I’m irrational. “Get it out, get it away, ugh, ugh, ugh!”

This post is brought to you by a silverfish in my bathtub this morning. That sucker has now been sent on a merry journey down the drain to the sewer where he can make gross, horrible, shudder-worthy friends far from me.

In other news, I saw these pretty vintage postcards when looking for a picture of silver fish (not silverfish–which I won’t post a picture of, because, ew! who wants to see that?).

Found at Vintage Travel Postcards.

ETA for the book? I’m hoping to have it done by December 2013 and possibly out in 2014. But the gods would seriously need to be on my side for that to happen.

Fanwork Friday! The day I highlight some fanwork that I’ve either admired or learned something from. I love this day!

If you like her work, definitely check her out on Deviant Art. I think she sells some prints and stuff.

We Came to Dance Naked With Tattoos

I’ve been loving the new Gaslight Anthem album, and listening to their back catalogue, too. I was googling something about the latest album’s lyrics and found myself looking at Gaslight Anthem inspired tattoos. Here, have a selection below.

And I don’t know if this is Gaslight Anthem related or not, but while looking at Gaslight Anthem tattoos I found this photo. All I could think was, “But…but…it’s ‘could’ve’, sweetheart. Oh, my.”

 (It’s a small picture, so for those who can’t read it, it says: If Love Could Of Saved You, You Would Of Lived Forever)

Also, don’t forget that over at Darker Temptations we are giving away a prize every day for the rest of this week and all of next. Be sure to look at the back posts, too, because we’re giving the prizes out at the end of the two weeks, so you can still comment for consideration for all the past days, too. I know there was an Amazon or Barnes and Noble gift card on offer the other day, some free e-books, and other swag have also been offered. Do check it out!
