I write. I create. I put some of that here. Read at your own risk. If there were an ampersand code for a little skull-and-crossbones, I'd totally be using it right now.
The term "aqua fortis" was the alchemical nomenclature for nitric acid, a necessary component in etching onto zinc plates for intaglio printmaking. I now use copper plates and ferric chloride almost exclusively, as they are much less toxic, but I still like the sound of "aqua fortis."

Oooh, milk maid! I bet you would look cute in the costume with the braids and all. Perhaps you should consider this for next Halloween if it doesn't pan out as a career. :)

Don't let 'em get you down - something will eventually happen. I mean really, do you want to be milking cows during a Modesto summer? I think not. Also: we need to get together!
