As the fleet data analyst at the new company I work for, I basically sit in the IT department, despite the fact I have no tech support or hardware function. I was worried about being the only girl in the department, but it's not bad at all-- it's often quiet, and its entertaining when the server/tech guys get silly. Sometimes, I heard bits of ( Read more... )

Well, the Christmas tree has been put up and subsequently taken down; the menorah candles have been extinguished for the year, and all the latkes have been eaten. (There were a lot of latkes.) Who the hell said it could be 2015 already ( Read more... )

*waves tiredly* Hi. I've been MIA (or perhaps POW, after you hear my Tale of Woe) from LJ for just about two months now. A lot can happen in two months. Life, as Stephen King has pointed out, turns on a dime. And, while I have not been harassed by evil clowns, eaten by an elegant Victorian mansion, or engaged in an ages long search for a Dark Tower ( Read more... )

I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Easter. If you don't, I hope you still had a wonderful (and hopefully springy!) day.

So, what's more vibrant and spring-themed than another episode of Hannibal? Fits right in with the pastel colored peeps, I tell you.
(Pssst, Amber-- I think peeps might also be Hannibal's kryponite. ^_~)

So, Hanukkah officially ended at sundown this evening, but I've always had a tendency towards being a little tardy. (That's being generous. "I set my clocks early, 'cause I know I'm always late" should probably be part of my theme song. If I had a theme song. ^_~)

Still, I come bearing ridiculous and hopefully confondingly cute X-Men: First Class ( Read more... )

This evening, I went to the annual menorah-lighting ceremony down at the Wayvern Community Center-- it's the first year it hasn't coincided with the first night of Hanukkah but, given the timing, it's completely understandable. I've been looking forward to it with a tenacity perhaps a bit more intense than truly necessary but, for me, Hanukkah ( Read more... )

Pretty sure we're still doing this tonight-- and, even if I'm jumping the gun a little, it won't be the first time. ^_^

So, grab your gear and mount up your nightmare stags, ladies and gentlemen. G-d is willing, and the creek* (while possessed of a very swift current) hasn't risen yet. It's time for The Will and Hannibal Show Abigail Has Two ( Read more... )

Most of this post is based on notes I scribbled down while watching this episode on Saturday. The scheduled delay (is there such a thing? ^_~) turned out to be for the best for all of us, as well as being respectful-- so I pretty much just typed up my scribbles this evening and was all set to hit 'post'.

This evening, the local Chabad House held a public menorah lighting at nearby Marcus Point. It was the first time for such an event, and I made sure to be there. Hanukkah is always bittersweet for me; I have very fond memories from childhood, but no one in my family celebrates save me. It's rough, because it *is* a family holiday. Normally, you won ( Read more... )
