While I have it on good authority that five things make a post, I only have three.

1. I have tickets for Coraline tonight (official website not working for me right now). Go see it. In 3D if at all possible. Go. Now. The other two things will be here when you get back.

2. I have completely fallen for this mask. It is for sale at the Merimask Etsy shop, which is full of lovely things.

Leather mask

3. I’m thinking of getting a digital SLR. I understand that the Sony Alphas will take my Minolta lenses (currently sitting in a closet). Anyone have a Sony DSLR? Does it work well with the Minolta lenses? Is it worth getting the A300 over the A200? Must-have accessories?

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
