Happy Birthday, cathica

The most estimable cathica, who has not been seen around LJ/dreamwidth for a long time, certainly not regularly, had her birthday yesterday (Nov. 8). It's been a while since I ventured back into birthday wishes. I think that's because I got overwhelmed by several things a couple of months ago, and some of the fallout included birthday ( Read more... )

Still Here

So an insurrection happened. And may still be happening. We'll see how the next 5-6 days play out.  I'm still dealing with a lot of poisonous anger, which doesn't seem apt to go away any time soon, especially with the increasing evidence of help for the traitors outside from inside the halls of Congress. Perhaps I can talk about it later ( Read more... )

Birthdays; Again and Always As we get older, our attitudes towards birthdays can change. Certainly, I know that my birthday brings more thoughts of my eventual mortality than it once did. Strangely, those thoughts are positive, as I look back on an eventful life and forward ( I hope) to a good many years of adventure to come. And it still gives me ( Read more... )

Something That Is Not Bad

I love Mythbusters. The show was a healthy dose of fun done with science, and science done with fun, both in the service of using logic to prove or disprove myths, folk tales, and urban legends.

Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays

There are so many people whose birthdays took place this month, and who I really like, and to whom I didn't wish felicitations. All of you deserve so much more than what I'm going to try - describing each of you in 5 words or phrases - but believe me, you are all important to me.

Argh.

Two weeks late, I wanted to say Happy, Happy Birthday to the redoubtable and impressive azriona, who world-hops in imagination and geography, and is a really lovely fan, fanfic writer, and excellent human being. I hope it was a good day for you!

Many Happy Returns of the Day ...

... to strannik01, a dedicated journalist who deploys a dispassionate and careful eye as he chronicles news in some of Chicago's "news desert" communities, bringing  stories of sadness, joy, and anger to readers who might otherwise miss important aspects of our city. His views, while objective, are informed by his own ( Read more... )

I Blame My Lack of Brainzzz ...

... for forgetting the May 5 birthday of the inestimably excellent jjpor , who is one of the best fic writers I've ever had the good luck to read. His Doctor Who stories are well paced, densely plotted, with real, lived-in characters. In a fair world, his adventures and mysteries would be turned into award-winning ( Read more... )
