2010 sucked, didn't it? But that's okay! It's dead and we can dance on its grave!

This evening was spent in a tea party and watching episodes of Star Trek that involved time travel - specifically ones where the crew had to travel back in time and wear costumes, because mik100 and I couldn't decide if we wanted sci-fi or period drama, so we compromised! ( Read more... )

Okay. IT'S TIME. Apparently my capacity for boredom - usually staved off for at least three or four days at a time while lying on the couch watching TV - has diminished over the past year. This is terrible, because another change seems to be no accompanying surge of writing, which those who know me will tell you is responsible for 80% of my longer ( Read more... )

Look, I'm just going to warn you now. There are going to be a lot of "Whee! Vegetables!" posts happening over the next couple of weeks. Until the semester ends I expect this to be just about the only thing keeping me remotely sane.

I have FINALLY dragged artemisiabrisol into Babylon 5, after nearly two years of threatening to do exactly that. Now that I own the entire thing (Thank you, inexplicable Best Buy sale, thank you. *fondles DVDs*), my evil plan was much more convenient to everyone ( Read more... )

I ( Read more... )

Okay, so you probably know about Noradsanta.org, where on Christmas Eve you can track Santa as he travels across the globe. (In my opinion still in the top ten Reasons Why The Future Is Awesome.) Well, apparently on December 24th one can search for "Santa" on a Google-supported phone and see his current location (presumably this works with ordinary ( Read more... )

Xmas pressies have been mailed. Canadians, you will get your stuff by Christmas Day. Everybody else, two weeks-ish ( Read more... )

Princess Pekoe Faildog Brown (who wins the prize of Most Tolerant Dog Ever) was left home alone after dark today and managed to completely avoid destroying any of our belongings out of anxiety or loneliness! (She's afraid of the dark.)

Her Highness would like to wish her mum, artemisiabrisol, as well as the incomparable maelie, a Happy Birthday.

Made it back intact, despite my being seated in the emergency exit row with everybody's lives in my hands. Would have posted earlier, but Pearson has shitty paid wifi that I refused to use, so had to wait. Did, however, find and purchase a cute hat that actually fit my gigantic head, so it sort of balances out ( Read more... )
