1. Buddy is a pathetic sight tonight. He went to the vet today for dental work (cleaning, x-rays, and one extraction) so now the anesthesia is wearing off and he's very whiny and clearly not feeling with it. They told us the whining was to be expected. We're hoping he conks out soon and sleeps off the rest of it. My poor baby ( Read more... )

I cannot remember if I mentioned this or not (I probably did) but at GeekGirlCon this past October I bought myself a really gorgeous corset. It's blue with black accents, and the fabric has this lovely sort of spiral pattern on it. I'm calling it my TARDIS corset because the blue is close to the right shade, and the pattern on the fabric is kinda ( Read more... )

1. Morgan and I went with a lot of people yesterday and saw Star Wars. I managed to avoid any kind of spoilers before seeing it, so I was pleased about that. I'm not going into a lot of detail (or any) here, but it was a fantastic movie and Morgan and I are looking into going back on Christmas because there are things we know we missed and we want ( Read more... )

As you all probably know, I watch virtually no TV, and I mean from any source. Streaming, on-demand, on the TV, recorded, whatever; I don't watch it. But I kept hearing about Mr. Robot and about how good it was and how realistic and so on and so forth, and my iWife loves it, so while we were in NJ we watched the first two episodes ( Read more... )

1. I bought some tea leaves from Adagio the other week, so for the last week or so I've been drinking their Irish Breakfast in the morning rather than my Twinings tea bags. The Irish Breakfast is yummy and delicious and not bitter at all, even if I steep it a little too long. I have a sample of another tea, and I have a bag of Earl Grey I keep ( Read more... )

sanders and I had a really good time at GeekGirlCon this past weekend. My experience was relatively light on the actual panels part of the con, but I had a great time meeting people and talking to people and wandering through the vendor hall (I bought two books, many pairs of earrings, and a t-shirt, and am eyeing a corset covetously) and overall ( Read more... )

Many apologies to Morgan for leaving him to deal with Buddy on his day off when he was hoping to sleep in. I overslept and didn't get up in time to walk the dog, but he was still asleep when I left the room so I was hoping he'd stay that way. Unfortunately he woke up and came downstairs to say hi to me. I petted him a bit and had to leave...I'm ( Read more... )

Game yesterday was fun. I was late getting there because of pain and headstuff, but I made it in time to fight fiendish dragons and get the person I was helping out of prison.

Next stop in the campaign appears to be Hell, where we will be talking to Asmodeus. I don't even know. I'm fairly certain some of us will survive this, but whether all of ( Read more... )

So Windows 8.1 continues to vex me. The default Mail program (which isn't Outlook) is fairly reasonable, but it sorts things I don't want it to sort--all my LJ notifications go into my "social updates" folder, so I thought LJ wasn't sending them until I saw that folder ( Read more... )
