It's ten years this year since I graduated from university. Fahk. As such, it's probably weird that I don't mark the change of the year at New Year's Eve; my new year starts after Warpcon, as January was always so busy for me in college that there was no point doing things like new year's resolutions until after the con was over. So I haven't made ( Read more... )

Haven't updated in months. Bad me, no biscuit. *mentally whips self with something thorny*

( And why I am not updating? Lameness, that's why. Lameness, and LARPing. )

Been on a bit of an epic trip around regional (read: rural) Victoria and New South Wales since I last posted. Came back from Sydney and caught up with miss_madb before heading down to Geelong for what ended up being a thoroughly wonderful Christmas with Teh Australian's Dutch and Irish families (Dutch on Christmas Eve, Irish for Christmas Day). I'd been ( Read more... )

Back with my parents for the few days before I leave. Tonight, we had a pseudo-Christmas, with proper dinner, tree and presents. It was good, but I did have to avoid thinking about how upset my mom's probably going to be on actual-Christmas. First time in the history of my family that we won't be together for it ( Read more... )

I haven't updated in ages, have I. Well, not publicly, anyway; I've increasingly started posting me-locked entries, diary-style. Which is unusual, as that's not how I tend to use lj. October's passed in a blur of weddings and funerals. No births that I can think of. But presumably with all the weddings, they'll be coming next year ( Read more... )

This is very, very long, but you're under no obligation to read it all - it's mostly for my own benefit, as my memory is shocking. There are links to photos, which is nice if you haven't already seen them on Facebook.

( What I did on my holidays )

I've mostly been getting drunk and posting inappropriate things on teh internetz. I've also been: attending a Polish Medieval Fair; planning a Syria/Jordan/Lebanon/Israel trip to see Teh Australian in July; playing in a Vampire LARP where I didn't want to kill anyone; FINISHING TWH!; listening to too much Jonathan Coulton; reclaiming my super; ( Read more... )

Thanks to Teh Australian, I now own all of Sandman. Finally!

Also, am I alone in believing that, if someone throws you the line "Did you hear about those people who're now playing with genetics in their garages?", the natural response is "Oh, yeah! It was in Austria, right..?" (my co-philosopher was actually talking about this, but still ( Read more... )

...because I'm still pondering the exact nature of the "Baby gone back" post, have this instead.

Lolcats, "translated" into Russian. (pinkymonster could tell you if it's actually Russian translated or not. Either way, it's too funny not to post).

Good gayness.

Bad gayness.

Stolen from cavalorn - funny gayness (mostly only funny if you've seen the atheist bus campaign going around.

And we watched Swordfish tonight, which was also lame.

( Unconnected to the gayness (bar the girl-on-girl-breast-grabbing at the auction), was Warpcon. And touring. )
