So, I've been suffering from an advanced case of the dead for about a week now. I'm on the mend, but I'm still spending a lot of time sleeping and very little time doing constructive things like 'thinking' or 'pinging' or much beyond 'not drooling.' Hopefully I'll be able to kick this soon and be back in the swing of things, but for the next few ( Read more... )

So, in about an hour, I'll be getting picked up and driven to the airport where a good friend and I are making our way down to bright (I hope) and sunny (double-hope) Costa Rica. I have been promised at least limited internets (triple-hope), but I have no idea what my availability will be, either in regards to said internets and/or my free time. I ( Read more... )

So tomorrow morning, bright and early, I will be undergoing a twelve hour drive up to the land of moose, maple, and metric to visit our own furnaceface. Yaaaaay! So far, most of our plans seem to revolve around introducing me to Canadian food (POUTINE STILL SOUNDS WEIRD TO ME, Y'ALL) and making each other read comics, as well as going up and harassing hotceltogoth into ( Read more... )

So, my internet went down last night around midnight and isn't back up yet. Our ISP is sending over a repair guy at some time within the next few days to get it fixed. They don't seem to understand that me without the internet is a TRAGEDY that WARRANTS THEIR HIGHEST PRIORITY, GAWD. I tried explaining that Saturday was the newbie picnic*, but even ( Read more... )

First and foremost, I need to thank everyone who helped me pull of that gigantic plot. When we started out, I don't think that any of us expected just how huge it would get. But everyone really pitched in and made it far more awesome than I ever could have imagined. So a million, billion thank you's to blondecanary, brat_intraining (who managed to juggle three characters, ( Read more... )

So, I'm leaving Saturday to go 'camping' in New Hampshire, which mostly involves hanging out at a friend's house by the lake. There will be a TV, electricity, and even a sauna, but no internet, which means this is still filed under 'roughing it' in my book ( Read more... )

Briefly surfacing to say we're experiencing interruptions to our net service due to the thunder storms that have been hitting Worcester all weekend. So if I vanish inexplicably, that's probably what happened.

I'll pick up threads when internet it back reliably.

On the other hand, t-storms are awesome, so I don't mind as much.

So, some of you may have noticed I've been kinda scarce lately. I've been programming an entire weekend-long convention by hand and going a little insane doing it. The con is next weekend and I'll be heading down to NY Thursday night, which means that this week is filled with all of the incredibly tiny, stupid, nit-picky details that somehow got ( Read more... )

Sorry to everyone I dropped threads with yesterday. The NyQuil snuck up on me in a big way. I'm still feeling moderately wretched (I think it's a mutated strain of H1N1, but my husband assures me it's just a cold. Bah!) so the dropped threads are pretty much going stay dropped. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll be a functional human being again ( Read more... )

So, this weekend I have a wedding. This means that for the next few days, I'm going to be running around frantically, trying to finish up last minute stuff before we run away to the Cape. Thus, sudden SP warnings are in effect, because I might have to suddenly run away and get my stupd dress altered even though when I tried it on before bringing it ( Read more... )
