How A. Square Sees a Box

Lyrics to “Too Late…”

Halfway across the globe
And we’re standing on new ground
Screaming ‘cross the waves
You can’t hear a sound
There’s no fair trials, no trade, no liberties
No tea
We’ve colonized America; we won’t stand for tyranny,
Oh king

And it’s too late to apologize
It’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize
It’s too late

We’ve paid your foolish tax, read the acts
And they just won’t do
We want to make it clear, we believe this much is true
All men were created with certain
Unalienable rights
Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness

And it’s too late to apologize
It’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize

It’s too late…

iPhone/iTouch app is up and running. We have seven days to get it, rate it, and take over the world (or at least 50 million members therein).
Please enjoy responsibly.

Coming soon!
Interview Number 2 with the charming comedy team of Tom Cathcart and Daniel Klein (I’m not-so-secretly in love. Yes, the Husband knows).

My Dad’s melodious voice will only be gracing us briefly before he has to go rescue the university (or a small part thereof).

Many of our readers will be…CraftLit Volks!

Huzzah!

Do Not Fear The Math.

(Or maybe fear it just a little bit–just enough to respect it.)

BookTalk

begins around 20 minutes. Listen

O so many things to link to!

Here are some links to…gluten free flour mix, the Jean Reno movie Les Visiteurs, iPhone app info!, Flatland needs readers (text in left sidebar of link). More iPhone app information will come as I know it. Those of you who indulge, I’ll try to make sure the launch isn’t TOO bumpy.

Episode 149

And…CUT!

Today we end The Scarlet Letter.

It’s sad.

I’m just sayin’.

Oh…gules!

Listen for the extended deadline for the 2009 Challenge!
Whoopie!

Book Talk starts around 19min.

But, on the happy side of things: Amy S. Foster’s new book (a signed copy of) is our October Incentive! Donate and get your name put into the hat. And I forgot to say, I’m counting donations to Kickstarter as well as to CraftLit directly. Penny rugs! Also, if you’re looking for a rollicking good time, check out Dragon of Trelian from Michelle Knudsen. Support not only a great book, but a great writer and friend (you DID read Library Lion, didn’t you?) Also check out the great pattern for a Clapotis Cap! Love this! Knucks!. Cabled handwarmers! And…I’m out of exclamation points.

Back in a couple of weeks with maybe a little Chaucer–DEFINITELY a lotta Flatland!

Episode 148

Listening to Jeeves.
Rolling around laughing while listening.
And while we’re at it, Evelyn Waugh’s Decline and Fall made me laugh in the most horrible way.

2009 Challenge! GET THEM IN PRONTO!

And a New Challenge! iPhone App Patterns! Listen for details.

October Incentive! A signed copy of Amy S. Foster’s new novel When Autumn Leaves! Did I mention it was signed? Because she loves CraftLit and therefore, loves you too.

Only a few seats left on the CraftLit/Knitty trip. Get ‘em while you can! Even if you’re not positive you can go, better safe than sorry!

And thank you Rita for introducing me to Chillingworth the Owl! Never have I seen a character captured so perfectly in…a…stuffed animal…

Don’t forget to checkout the Kickstarter site (look to the left sidebar to check on the progress).
