1. Thank you to everyone who sent birthday felicitations and/or balloons! I had a lovely day yesterday, despite a lack of anything resembling a proper night's sleep the night before (thank you, adorable offspring). Everyone at choir sang "Happy Birthday" to me between masses, my sister is here from Virginia to buy me Birthday All Star Trainers of ( Read more... )

sarcasticval was born today! *confetti* Val leaves the best voicemail messages in the history of voicemails, and in case that isn't proof enough of her fabulousness, she's also the only person to ever get the obscure TV show reference on my car's license plate frame ( Read more... )

Happiness is getting voicemails from sarcasticval giving you up-to-the-minute updates on her reading of Wuthering Heights.

Had a dream in which I was going to a party with sarcasticval, izhilzha, and whitemartyr. Said party was hosted by ruthette, who was wearing a feather boa when we got to her house. Turns out the point of the party was for all of us to wear super fancy, glamorous dresses, and then sit on Ruth's couch eating delicious things and watching classic movies with Grace Kelly and/or Carey Grant ( Read more... )

ME: That's what I figure, yeah.

First order of business: It's sarcasticval's birthday! I am very glad that Val was born, because her fic recs are excellent, her company is never dull, she has an unerring sense of where to find the best restaurant in a given area, and her Rambly Voicemail Messages of Doom are true gems. Many happy returns, Val!

Second order of business: For her birthday, Val ( Read more... )

Took sarcasticval, ladybrick, and izhilzha shooting on Saturday!

( Gory details under the cut! )

So far, this weekend, I have:

1. Gone to LA for karaoke and dinner with izhilzha and sarcasticval (who are so fun to hang out with that it should be illegal) followed by coffee and a chat with Izh, followed by driving home while Val kept me awake over the phone. I have to say, having friends in LA is way more fun that I would have credited once upon a time ( Read more... )
