A very pleasant date night Matt and I had last night, with new experiences all around. (Get your mind out of the gutter, you ( Read more... )

1. Warm Bodies was excellent -- I found it a really clever movie, at times beautiful and insightful, at other times hilarious. Now, it's utterly ridiculous in its premise (the power of love makes zombies human again!), but I'm okay with that--zombies themselves are pretty ridiculous. I liked it as a story about the human condition; as a zombie ( Read more... )

So, for a lark, I have a question on the casting questionnaire for Cracks in the Orb which reads:
"Amuse me. Sir Paarfi of Roundwood has just walked in on the Empress Zerika IV and her Eastern lover in flagrante delicto. What does he do?"

I had a delightful conversation with Alison S. last night involving LARPs, romance plots, and macking on undergrads. "At what point do we start being considered cougars?" asked Alison, only partially in jest ( Read more... )

I'm getting more long-winded each time I do this! And they seem to be drifting away from their original purpose (gratitude/positivity/documenting things I genuinely like) and more towards "what I did recently." Ah, well. I'll re-examine them... later ( Read more... )

1. At work, I received the "Hulk Award" for my work on the new CSO Blogs site. Admittedly, the Hulk's sole prize is a plastic Hulk figurine--to be shared between the desks of my co-conspirators and me--but hey, recognition.

This was made significantly easier by the place that opened in the Natick Mall, Wasabi, which as far as I can tell from their website (which has a bad case of Dark Side of the Moon) is a small chain mostly in the DC area. How it found its way to Massachusetts, I don't know. But the ( Read more... )

... that my husband is building a coffin?

Friends-only, but he says he'll unlock it when he's done cooking dinner.

I also have a cameo appearance in that post as "arm and top of head emerging from behind a Macbook Pro." I was reading Cracked.com, like you do when your husband brings his life-sized plywood sarcophagus into the house.

He's posing some questions about our potential next LARP, which at this point we're thinking is going to be the HPL, Dreamlands-inspired game. Since I have more people on my f-list than he does, I'm inviting all y'all to go over there and help him brainstorm.
