1. I have been coming up with cheezy advertising slogans. The worst of them involve puns on grammar and jewelry. For example, with the holidays season coming up, I'm thinking, "we've got your present perfect". Also, was thinking something like "you're the subject. We've got an object for you", but I can't quite make it work, as you can see.

2. I have discovered a comprehensive purveyor of pigments, powders, and gilding supplies (Sinopia). I am thinking about making and selling my ass-kicking inks on Etsy. This is probably a bad idea, but I'm thinking about it anyway.

3. They also have reactive metal powders. Patina, baby, patina! Fast rusting iron powder. I need it, don't I?
