A new version of Star Cops, particularly with Ed Green as the lead; mind you, Lisa thinks he'd also do well as a perpetually-exasperated, by-the-book cop on Earth who constantly has to work with Nathan Spring and doesn't like it at all. Ed does exasperated very well.

Addendum: While we're at it, Tadao Tomomatsu should be in the cast, too; he after ( Read more... )

This morning after the big English Breakfast, the sun came out and the wind sort of died down, which gave me a chance to walk for a little while along the Brighton Promenade. It didn't last, and I was getting rained on by the time I got back to the hotel, but it was wonderful just to get out and look around at places I've never been and might never ( Read more... )

Apologies to james-nicoll for my grumpy aside before I responded with relevant facts on the discussion on his LJ. I decided that the best thing I could say when complained at for my grump - yes, I guess I am bit tender on the subject - was nothing at all. I appreciate those of you who came to my defense. It matters to me more than you may know to know that you ( Read more... )

I'm not being flippant; it just came to me that for today, that title above would be sadly appropriate.

As luck would have it on this only weekend between the Thanksgiving and New Year's when I'm in the Bay Area, the Locus holiday party was this afternoon and I was invited, so I made my way into the maze that is the roads up in the Oakland hills and managed to find my way to Locus House with only one wrong turn (which is better than I did last year) ( Read more... )

This morning, I drove down to near my old haunts off of Blossom Hill Road (I lived near there for a year in a "Slan Shack" with some other fans) to help gridlore and kshandra with their urgent de-cluttering-because-we-must-move job. I carried bags and boxes of stuff from their upstairs apartment to their pickup and to the dumpster for a couple of hours, as ( Read more... )

Tonight I joined a nice group for a relaxing (i.e. we didn't have to hurry back for a program item) dinner at Chez Nous French restaurant, where I ordered one of the locally-sourced items: rabbit confit, which I found very nice. Having had a good blood sugar reading earlier today, I felt I could also hazard the creme brulee dessert before waddling ( Read more... )

I have posted some photos from the St. George's Distillery Open House "Prom Night."

I had a great time getting out of the house where I've been semi-quarantined this past week. In light of petrea_mitchell's concerns, I should point out that it has been at least seven days since my first symptoms and more than two days after I stopped running a fever, so I felt fairly confident that I'm no longer contagious. I will probably be coughing for ( Read more... )

I have a camera full of photos from our group expedition to see Spamalot last night as part of kproche's birthday. dsmoen has already posted about it along with photos, so that will do for now until I have time to deal with my camera ( Read more... )
