Wow! Mokume gane sounds really cool! Thanks! I like metalurgy, and I love learning new things. It's one of the things that makes your page such a pleasure to read. Don't you get weird "bi-metal" effects when you do mokume gane? By this, I mean if the two metals have a different thermal expansion coefficient, won't the stuff buckle and warp when it's heated or cooled?
Yes, the blue and white I was talking about refer to that really nifty cosutume on your book page. You know, you told me once, but I forgot: is the whole thing a bedlah or does that term refer only to a piece of the costume? It's a nice picture of you, even if the lighting could stand to be a little better and the background could've used some doctoring. Fifteen pounds less muscle mass or not, you certainly look great in that picture. You like what you're doing and it shows.
Gor sub-culture...Auuugggghhh!!! What a delicious double-entendre! Oh, my ribs, my ribs! Oh Ms. Monster, you have to read one of those books -- they can be funny, and the writing is amusing at the least. Seriously, you'll be tempted to quote passages on your web site (that is, if you aren't worried about alienating and pissing off your "Gorean" customers). Yeah, the "Goreans" are really and disturbingly funny. You have to wonder how tight their grip on reality is and how much of the stories they take as "truth." Obviously, it's a spectrum, but outside of bedroom fantasies you have to wonder about these people!
