Here is the little Jizo that I made for my personal Segaki this week. Jizo is often depicted as child-like, so I chose to use a miniature potato head. His gem is a crystal drop coated in dichroic glass. I've worn this pendant for 3-odd years now. I chose to use a set of measuring spoons to approximate Jizo's special ringed and clanking staff. It seemed appropriate.
I like this little Jizo very much.
And Snowy made a pizza!
Hoping all good things to you, dear reader. It was good to visit with you all.
I'll be a little bit busier in the next few weeks than usual.
Remember that fortune from the fortune cookie?
An opportunity is knocking. I'll be pursuing it. I don't really want to tell you about it until it becomes definite, dear reader. What I can tell you is that there is writing entailed in the pursuit. I do so thank you for helping me to practice!
I'll talk with you soon.
Pravs, I'm digging up a jam recipe just for you...

I just love when opportunity knocks. It's just that most of the time I have the TV turned up so loud that I can't hear it. ;)
Good luck Neroli! I'm excited for you.
I hope things continue to go as well as they look to have been.. Good luck with your new opportunity!!
Those are just TOO terrific!! And OMG I'm starved - that pizza - looks wonderful!
Speaking of Segaki!!! ;-}
Captain, that's hilarious :)
And thanks, it's good to know that I've got Starfleet backing me up!
Wolfbaby, thank you! It's good to see you. I'm trying to live up to your excellent example :)
Artist, it was a *great* pizza (none of that left to offer to the hungry ghosts, hahaha!)
I'm glad you like the Buddhas!
They suit me, that's for certain ;)
Those are very interesting Budhhas - I'd never have thought...
Pizza...ummmm...and did you say jam?!
All the luck to you. There were a few knocking at my door too, I had an ear cocked and turned the tv down...just in time, I think.
That's it! The universe is a singular, gigantic self-assembling and disassembling, ever-replacing-itself Potato Head! Incredible! And what universe would be complete without the ever-amazing, ever-annoying ability of paradox? Certainly not a universe which would allow me to pick another nose. (No pun intended, I swear!)
All realization *ahem* aside, count me in with the other readers cheering you on. I too believe your new joppurtunity will turn out as well as it seems it should by way of order of events. You certainly didn't come all this way for nothin'...
And my apologies for not being around sooner. My PC died in late September and I just haven't had time to spare for Internet cafes or friend's computers. I'm so grateful for you keeping in touch; it says a lot about you, Dear Writer. =)
By the way, I wish I had the Visuwords tool when I was in school. What an incredible find. I can't wait to put Visuwords to use with new blog entries...! Soon ;)
Best of wishes and don't forget to have fun. =]
Dear Anita, the bigger of the Buddhas was smiling down upon the Puri Party at our house!
(Come to think of it, I was grinning big like that myself ;)
Thanks for all your good wishes---and I'm so glad that you had the TV turned down. I imagine opportunity knocks fairly regularly for you, my friend :)
Dear epahS, as always, it is good to see you, Dear Writer = )!
With Mr. Potato Head, (or the Buddha?!?) you are, of course, On to Something!
I truly do love that visuword site-I look forward to your entries!
*glad that you are no longer experiencing technical difficulties*
And thank you for the reminder---about not coming all this way for nothing. It's so simple to learn that it's difficult sometimes!
Dear Anita, I forgot to mention---it's apricot/jasmine jam :)
Hey Miss Neroli- I love your interpretation of Jizo using this medium- its a perfect fit! And I'm so glad that tomorrow will work itself out. As for the opportunity ahead, I keep hope alive and on your side, but will wait with patience for furthur unveiling.
Have a wonderful tomorrow.
My dear Pel, I'm glad that you liked it. Thank you so much for the inspiration! I like him so much that I'll keep him.
And thank you for your good thoughts...I'm really, really trying to be good about being neutral while events unfold. I really, really, want to dish :-D !

Dear Bee and Jai, thank you for all your best wishes---I've done what I can and now need to wait: something I thought that I was fairly adept at doing. I find now that I'm not :(
I'm glad that you liked the little Jizo. He was such a hit upon his debut that he's become a permanent fixture here.
(It's taken about a week for Snowy to stop bursting out laughing every time he laid eyes on the Little One :)
PS---It was an excellent pizza! Snowy always makes it here. He can even toss the disk of dough in the air :-D
