Quick Things
By Jill Christine | October 12, 2009
A few quick notes:
- This year’s winter line will debut in the shop this Wednesday (Oct. 14). The Halloween line is winding down to make room for the winters.
-I’m posting winter previews over at Mint Conspiracy’s fan page on Facebook. You don’t need to be a Facebook member to view the page, and my posts there are automatically repeated on my Twitter account, so either option will let you keep up with the latest Mint Conspiracy news.

Zombie Computer: Dead Again
By Jill Christine | August 6, 2009
I’ve gotten a few questions about the status of this year’s Halloween line and the reopening date for Mint Conspiracy, so I thought I’d address both issues here. As of now, the official date is still up in the air, and I may have to push it from late August to early September. If you’ve known me or followed Mint Conspiracy for a while, you might remember when Rupert, my desktop PC, had to be nuked and brought back to life (zombie computer!) early last year. Despite the precautions I take online, Zombie Rupert caught another nasty virus last week, apparently due to a drive-by download from an infected website. Or maybe it’s swine flu. I am about ready to shoot Zombie Rupert in the head, I tell you what.
Infect me once, shame on you. Infect me twice, shame on me. I’ll be buying a Macbook in the next few weeks, and no more Mint Conspiracy business will be conducted via PC. While I realize Macs technically aren’t immune to viruses, I’ll still be a lot more secure than I am now. This is getting a little ridiculous.
(Oh yeah, here I go, getting sucked into Apple-land after resisting for so long. Next I’ll be wanting an iPod instead of my shoddy old 256mb SanDisk mp3 player that gobbles batteries like nobody’s business, y’all. Oh noes.)
Anyway, my ftp and graphics programs are all on the dead-again desktop; since I’m exclusively on my laptop PC for now, I can’t get anything done until I settle down with a Macbook. As soon as that happens, I’ll announce a reopening date for the shop. I’m really looking forward to posting this year’s Halloween designs, so that’s going to happen as soon as it possibly can.

A Moment of Mo
By Jill Christine | July 22, 2009
When I found out from my friend Liz over at Puppatoons that her fuzzy friend Mo had a birthday coming up, I just had to send him a present. Liz just blogged about Mo’s video thank you note — looks like he’s quite pleased with his Booski! Gotta love the end of that clip. :D And yep, the special edition “Green Ghost” Booskis will be on sale with the rest of this year’s Halloween line in Mint Conspiracy at the end of August. I’ll have an exact reopening date soon — I’ll be out of town around then, so I’m still figuring out my schedule.

Lights Out
By Jill Christine | July 11, 2009
Everyday Weirdness published Lights Out, another of my horror/paranormal flash fiction pieces, today. Feel free to check it out if you’re in the mood for a little creepiness. Sometimes it’s easier to face your fears in the dark.
