This post contains all the tags I have used to tag my posts so far. Tomorrow, I shall post-date it so that it always sits on top of the journal. And I will edit it to add new tags as I create them. Let's see how well this works.

Finally got around to transferring some photos from camera to laptop, so here are a bunch of random pics for you all.

Now that SPN is on hiatus, I can actually do other things on Thursday nights. Like going to the House of Blues with jencallisto to see the Dresden Dolls. My feet and back are killing me now, after standing up in platform shoes for four hours straight, and I'm all brain-melty from staying up way past my bedtime, but it was totally worth it, because the show ( Read more... )

Well, okay, not actually in space, but certainly as close as I'm ever gonna get.

On Saturday, The Boy and I drove up to Pasadena to visit the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory at CalTech during their annual open house. The Boy's been a couple of times before, but I haven't, so the whoe thing was a brand new and geektastic joy to me. The pretty much ( Read more... )

Chapter 5 is going much more quickly than Chapter 4. There are six chapters in my outline, so if I don't get stuck again and don't procrastinate too much (hah!), I might actually finish this whole draft by the end of next weekend. That would be really cool, 'cause then I'd have a nice chunk of time to work on my lgbtfest ( Read more... )

Big bang progress:

Chapter 4 was a bitch to write, but I'm in the home stretch now and hopefully won't stall again. *crosses fingers*

In addition to the writing, I did the following fun and useful things this weekend (defining "this weekend" as "since early Friday afternoon")

• Went with The Boy to see the "Day in ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a big day at Casa Rusalka. The Boy and I drove out to the San Diego Humane Society to pick out a new kitty. My original plan was to get a kitten, and I did interact with a few who were all adorable and cuddly and super-fuzzy. I was totally getting ready to pick one out to take home. But the best-laid plans of mice and fangirls are ( Read more... )

A few weeks ago (the day after Memorial Day, to be precise), I went to the zoo with judyserenity and her husband and took a few pictures. Today, I went to Wild Animal Park with The Boy, and took a whole boatload of pictures. I'm especially happy with today's results, because The Boy kindly let me borrow his kick-ass telephoto lens, which is so much better ( Read more... )

I have downloaded a bunch of pictures from my digital camera. Not the really good fancy camera that I haul with me to exotic places, but the little shitty pocket one that I take on random outings if I remember to grab it before I leave the house. Since I'm basically spending this afternoon vegging out, I figure I might as well post some of the ( Read more... )

I do hope the Papa Winchester fans on my flist properly appreciate the depraved depths to which I sink in order to share the hotness that is JDM with the rest of you guys. I mean, I actually paid money for a used copy of this, so that you guys don't have to. And then I watched it, so that you guys don't have to. And then I screencapped all the ( Read more... )
