This past weekend, Brooke (hsifyppah) and I spent a great deal more time together than we have previously. As a consequence, a) you're all going to die, b) no, really, I mean that, and c) we've determined that one of us probably grew the other in a vat. A big vat. Full of orange slime. Glowing orange slime that eats your flesh. Except when it's ( Read more... )

Ah, Sunday, Sunday. The sweetest of days -- there's rarely anything major that needs to be done, which means all my time is my own, and I can spend it as I see fit, frittering it on friends and fripperies and con suite conversations. The sourest of days -- the convention is sliding towards an end, and the weekend that once seemed to be filled ( Read more... )

Waking up Saturday morning and still being able to talk -- I regularly thrash my voice by talking too much during my Friday night Improv Workshop, which was canceled this year for reason of 'the instructor is so not in the physical place necessary for crawling around on the floor pretending to be a hermit crab' -- was a little bit surreal.

The first time I was asked to participate in the Pegasus Concert was 2004, when I performed 'Black Davie's Ride' with Paul Kwinn and Alisa Garcia (one-half of Puzzlebox, aka, 'my darling Matt's favourite filk group in the entire known universe'). I've actually been in the concert every year since then, which I hadn't fully realized until I really ( Read more... )

So many and many a year ago (in a kingdom by the sea), I discovered a musical called Jekyll and Hyde. More specifically, I discovered the two disk 'concept recording' for that musical -- two solid hours of mad science Victoriana in a musical theatre format, with some songs that managed to permanently influence that way I think about music and how ( Read more... )

1. Not dead.

2. Rehearsal was productive; England will kick all flavours of ass.

3. Currently downloading the Doctor Who Christmas special. How did we live without BitTorrent? I do not know. Truly, it is a mystery.

4. Have now watched six episodes of Dexter. So very in love. Six episodes to go. I know true joy, bliss, and the sort of ( Read more... )

My journal has been consumed by silence lately. This is not because I've been hit by a bus or eaten by llamas or anything else silly like that; no, it's just that for the last several days, I've had Nokomis, Amy, Batya, and Merav all dog-piling into my daily life, and that sort of shakes things up, from a perspective of 'doing silly little things ( Read more... )

You may have noticed that I've been rather...distracted...for the past week or so. Well, there's a reason for that. Two reasons, actually.

On Thursday, October 26th, my best friend and clone, Mars (ohimesamamama) arrived in California. We hadn't seen each other in over a year -- not since OVFF 2005, when I was frankly too busy to bask in her presence the ( Read more... )
