I've written before about the awesomeness of our cafeteria dudes here at Geek Central, and especially Shane the cook-to-order chef, who dreams up wild salads and interesting stir frys for us.

Today I moseyed on down for lunch and you'll never guess what Shane had on order for us today. Sushi. That's new. We've never had that before. Yes, Shane ( Read more... )

So, I haven't ventured on to Fandom Wank yet. Just from reading my flist, to me it seems that the Potterdammerung isn't so wankish as we might have expected. Of course, if I dipped a toe into any forums (Portkey, for example) I might change that assessment.

So tonight is my big audition for the Columbus Symphony Chorus. I'm not really nervous, I'm just wondering if my crappy sight-reading (soooo out of practice) will be a deal-breaker. Guess we'll find out ( Read more... )

Hey, I made fandom_wank. For this post. Except I wasn't wanked. I didn't know one was allowed to make fandom_wank in a good way. Huh ( Read more... )
