I finally had to un-friended someone on Facebook. I'm really very relaxed about letting others have their opinions, but this particular person (who I've known 20 years) started spewing venom about how it's a SIN to be gay and that gays are "the EBIL that will DOOM our great nation". (alright, I mighta paraphrased that, but it was obnoxious) He' ( Read more... )

My birthday is Saturday, and I'm taking tomorrow off work to go gambling in Biloxi at the Hard Rock Casino.   This morning when I got to work I found my desk covered in cards, flowers, balloons, and chocolate chip pancakes with a side of bacon.   The best part was that along with my "40" balloon, I got a Captain America balloon.    Having coworkers ( Read more... )

I recently started using the Swagbucks reward program, after hearing good things about it on Personal Finance blogs.  I figure any "earnings" would go toward buying Christmas presents.   So far I've made enough to get a couple of small paypal gift cards, and I've only been at it for 5 days.

It appears that one of my e-mail addresses may have been hacked.   Not one that is in anyway connected to my online fandom life, but for the duration (of the divorce), I will be f-locking this journal.

I also seem to have locked myself out of my e-mail functions on my cell phone.   Technology and I have a love/hate relationship.

1.   Would you like/expect/demand a holiday card from me?   If so please comment/PM with your address and winter holiday of choice.

2.  Do you have an etsy store, or are you taking commissons for art work?

I'm writing out my RL wishlist, my shopping list and my card list.   It's a list-o-rama!  

For all of you who write, or read small fandoms, yuletide  sign-ups are open.   It's unlikely you didn't already see this somewhere already, but I wanted to remind you to sign up if you haven't already.   Last year was my first yuletide  and it was a lot of fun to see under represented fandoms get some love.

There are a ton of comic related fandoms this year, and ( Read more... )

Hubby needs to turn in his vacation requests for next year by Monday (ridiculous, right?)   As we were discussing the possibilities last night we decided to try to get to Dragon*Con next year.   Anyone have any other con recs for newbies ( Read more... )

I am still in the land of the living, however both of my house computers were recently zapped by lightning.  I do still have internet at work but we've been crazy busy, so I haven't been able to post or even comment much.   I did manage to rig our Wii up to a spare TV, so I've managed to read a bit, but after a few minutes of blurry type, I ( Read more... )
