I've been going back to old LJ entries and tagging them. 2003 was easy, but I was a busy little bee in 2004 and it's taking forever. I've forgotten a lot of things, though, so some of it is really fun. I'd forgotten, for instance, that I wrote a character piece on my elf ranger from our D&D campaign. Oh, and I just came across a Real-Person fic I ( Read more... )

On Friday night my dad and I went out for dinner to this Italian restaurant in North Burnaby called Vita Bella and ate delicious food and drank red wine. We then headed over to the velodrome to watch the races, but they were cancelled due to shitty weather (they were worried about the roof collapsing). BOOOOO. I had really been looking forward to ( Read more... )

I don't think I mentioned, but the building management at my work needed another volunteer fire warden for our floor, and they suckered me into volunteering. Basically all I have to do is check to see if everyone's evacuated (and down the proper stairway), and then use the Red Phone (it's in a little Phone Locker and I have a key to it) to call ( Read more... )

Why does "Tom Sawyer" by Rush always remind me of Tom Baker? I blame Freaks & Geeks. In a good way. There's an episode where Bill almost dies from his peanut allergy, and then when he gets better, his mom buys him a Doctor Who costume. At the end you see him heading off to a sci-fi con, wearing a trenchcoat, fedora, and a great long burgundy scarf ( Read more... )

I am positively vibrating with caffeine and excitement. I'll probably be tired by this afternoon, but right now I am so stoked about Harry Potter (I am yet unspoiled!), and just life in general.

I discovered potterpuffs yesterday - Harry Potter fanart in the the Powerpuff Girls style. V. well done. My icon is Moaning Myrtle ( Read more... )

Last night our friend Geisel ran a D&D game that's probably going to be 2 or 3 sessions. It's in a world overrun by orcs, and it's our job to hunt down escaped human slaves, and the few elves that remain. I'm Knucklebone, a half-orc (I'm looked down upon for my human side) barbarian with a longspear, a lust for blood, and shame regarding my family ( Read more... )

There was never any doubt in my mind, because his holiness Joss Whedon reigns over all creation, but watching the first episode last night confirmed it: Firefly is awesome. Now I can understand what half my flist is talking about. ^_^

Haven't spent much time online in the past while, because I'm too busy living life. I might go see Howl's Moving ( Read more... )

Yesterday when we were playing D&D, my 3rd-level Druid named Star went to cast "Entangle," and I yelled "ENNNNTANGURU!" Geisel suggested I do that with every spell I cast ( Read more... )

Canadian Tire has ab balls on sale right now for $10 (regular $30), so I think I'll go buy one after work today. My coworker B won't stop raving about them - she even brought the Canadian Tire flyer in and showed it to me, and told me it comes with an instructional DVD and it's a very high quality ball. So why the hell not ( Read more... )

I had an excellent weekend. ( image-heavy Chilliwack visit post )
