The teaser trailer for Thor 2: The Dark World has been released. It looks fun, though it's hard to tell much about it yet. I remember when the first one came out I had zero interest in seeing it, as I had not really seen just how pretty Chris Hemsworth was in it, and I thought the character of Marvel's Thor was irredeemably stupid. (I kind of still ( Read more... )

Had one of the nicest weekends I've had in quite some time. Saturday I went to Newport, RI to meet aurora_knight and have a great time walking around through the city. That was a great trip. I'd never been there before, but I knew it was a pretty town by the sea where lots of Gilded Age millionaires built their summer homes. We went on a tour of two of the ( Read more... )

Gah, what an intense week. Started my school assignments, had a ton of stuff to do at work, and launched my audio drama project. I have been writing or otherwise working almost constantly since Monday, and the last few days have been especially busy. My brain feels like it's overloaded the circuit and blown a fuse. But it's not done yet. Today I ( Read more... )

This has been a nice week for seeing people I have been missing. The early part of it saw lovely friends crearespero and aurora_knight coming to Waltham to visit, which involved playing on playgrounds and nice dinners and a trip to go swimming and a lovely long walk. I've missed both of them terribly, so this visit was really lovely. Jane could only stay for one night, ( Read more... )

Hold Thy Peace officially has a show for spring semester! We will be performing The Tragedy of OTHELLO, the Moor of Venice, directed by the lovely aurora_knight and meamcat! They are going to doing it in a steampunk setting with everyone having clockwork enhancements except for the Moor, whose Otherness will be represented by his plain, boring, fallible humanity in ( Read more... )

Jared gets in today! I'm so excited. I will be picking him up from the airport around five-thirty, and then we will go out for a dinner at a nice Italian place in the (surprisingly close nearby) North End, followed by coming to BSCF. We should probably be there around eight o'clock and staying for the rest of the evening, for those of you who would ( Read more... )

Elsinore is now in possession of a Charlotte! She arrived in the afternoon yesterday, and despite the rain we managed to get her things into the house safely. Spending time with her as she got her things in order was very nice; I am feeling really good about having her as a roommate. Jane, as it turns out, will not be getting in until midday today ( Read more... )

Another thing I did this past weekend was help blendedchaitea dye her hair. She had this charming-looking bowl of mushy greeny-brown paste that apparently is how one prepares henna for use in dyeing, and after plonking her in the bathtub we proceeded to work this mess into all of her very long hair. Then, once she was thoroughly be-mudded, I am not joking when I ( Read more... )
