Didn't I say something back in January 2012 about not abandoning my LJ? Hmmm. Well, what had happened was ....

.... Yeah. I got no excuse. Sorry for the MIA, yet again.

I've been around the internets. I just haven't been over here on LJ. I've been Twitter (almost daily), on Pinterest (almost daily), on Google+ (almost weekly), my personal blog and ( Read more... )

Alright, folks. I'm getting ready to head out to the airport. I have a 4-hr. layover in Denver, so, unfortunately, I won't arrive in Portland until 10:30pm. :-(

But, hopefully, I'll get to blog from my hotel & keep you guys updated while the ConCon is underway.

::waves::  See you on the Left Coast!

Oh yeah, btw, Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

I'm officially starting to freak out about attending the Leverage ConCon event.  Portland doesn't seem nearly as easy to navigate without a car if you're not staying in a hotel near downtown, I've already spent far more money than I think this whole thing will be worth, and I'm afraid I'll spend my birthday weekend miserable and frustrated because ( Read more... )

Blame it on the major pressure released after a terrible migraine finally subsides, but I'm actually feeling rather chipper right now.  True, I wanted to write some grandiose LJ entry dissecting this past year and past decade, while analyzing how much I have or haven't changed during that time.  But I'm just a little too UP to feel that down about ( Read more... )

Even though I'm busy as hell at work doing a job I'm not sure I'll be doing for very long, ask me why I'm smiling.

30 Rock's 4th season premiere is tonight!!  Numfar, do the dance of joy!

Reason #2 -

The Leverage fan convention, affectionately known as the ConCon, is officially on!  As tweeted by Dean Devlin, the ConCon will be held in ( Read more... )

I've had a lot of ideas running through my mind lately, but I've had precious little time to sit still long enough and hammer them out into any coherent thought suitable for a LJ post.  So, instead of spamming your friendslist with the bazillion different topics that have kept my thought-sicles tingling, I'm just going to run a stream of ( Read more... )

I don't really have a response to Michael Jackson's death, but I will say that I don't look forward to how the mainstream media will focus on the scandals more than the art & entertainment he produced during his lifetime.  Seriously, if you don't know, you need to know.  This man has inspired people all over the world in numbers too high for me to ( Read more... )

11:16 am - Poor George H.W. Bush looks so frail with his limp and walking cane.

11:24 am - Sasha and Malia look beautiful as they walk down that carpet.  Malia definitely has her mother's grace.

11:29 am - The crowd is so quiet before Michelle comes out.  Do you know how hard it is to get a crowd that size to be that quiet?

11:32 am - The shot of that ( Read more... )

I think I'm expected to make a big post about how proud I am to be an American today.  Or at least an African-American.  Or something along those lines.  Hmmm.  Well, since I've never been ashamed to be an American or an African-American, I can't say that I feel any differently today than I did yesterday or Monday or last week.  I've always been ( Read more... )
