Friday.

I'm leaving for California on Friday.

Not to stay, just to visit. Et cetera.

So. I have my outfit for the concert picked out, and I have my shoes picked out, and my socks are interchangeable, and so are my bras. And underpants. And I'll pack a skirt and shorts and t-shirts. I want to brew up some new perfume... or perhaps I should just go with the old standards?

Books. I need to bring books. We're going to have ... need for reference materials, on some things. *giggle* I'm bringing The Red Book, obviously... (Yes, when one is discussing books at the cafeteria table in one's college, one doesn't necessarily want to be shouting out that title... nor does one especially wanting the four-year-old crowing it off the rooftops either...)

Some chaos, as well, yay!

I'm thinking that what with finals being finals, I'm just going to unload my backpack of all school stuff right now, and load that up for the trip, because I don't have much in the way of books to lug, and I don't want to be scurrying to pack at the last minute.

*sigh*

What I really want for Christmas/Solstice (I do celebrate both, especially given that I was raised in a nominally Christian household, and that Naomi's Christian) is bookplates. Pre-printed with my name(s). And a tracking program complete with bar code stickers and a laser scanning wand that my system will support. I have so many books, and it's a bitch and a half to make sure that all of them are correctly labeled.

*eyes the candles* Roooomance...

I have heard that there's at least one scanning system that works off the ISBN barcodes. You'd still have to sticker a few irregular books, but most of them would be fine as is.

Sweet.

Hmm. The Red Book looks intriguing, but Llewellen publishes some real crap. How is it? Have you read it or worked with it yet?

Kraig's one of the least-crap authors they have. I've read it, but have yet to do many things serious with it. I've done some of the solo stuff, of course, but there are so many things you need a partner for.

I'm noting that some of the stuff in there is the same shape as the stuff in the Sigils 101 book I found. This is a good thing.

I've also read Kraig's other big book, Modern Magick, and enjoyed it. A little too formal for me, but very good structure. Qabalistic.
