best_of_five is leaving tonight - I have to take her to the airport in about an hour - so I am extremely sadface about that. D: D:

So here - have the most adorable panda bear cubs ever playing on a slide. Because it's hard to be sadface while watching this:

Only we move to the other side. Some things are too good not to share, so thank you to whoever made this macro:

Alas, the Senegalese restaurant was closed on Monday, so we had Greek instead. My forays into new cuisine shall have to wait a bit. Still, it was a lot of fun ( Read more... )

Good morning! Heading into the City today with best_of_five, and meeting up with ziasudra, bethbethbeth, & paranoidsistah later for dinner at a Senegalese restaurant. Never had Senegalese food before, so I'm looking forward to it ( Read more... )

Gah! Busy! Had an apartment full of best_of_five, ziasudra & paranoidsistah all weekend (and we mainlined Avatar!), work is busy after a few days off, and of course it's crunch time for hp_springsmut with due dates and extensions and scofflaws, oh my. So I'm here, but I'm not - kind of flitting about the flist, reading but not being as interactive as I'd like ( Read more... )

So, I went down to the boardwalk for a bit - it's a gorgeous day out - only I forgot to put sunscreen on my legs, and my thighs are now very pink, seeing as they haven't seen the sun much all summer as I've been wearing capri pants and longer shorts most of the time. I used to tan like a mofo when I was younger, but I don't spend full days in the ( Read more... )

For those of you who know her (or met her at Prophecy) xingou gave birth just about an hour ago to a healthy baby boy!

Aidan Shi (spelling of middle name is subject to change) was born at 8:38 p.m. weighing 7 lbs. 8 oz., and measuring 20 inches long. Mom and baby are both doing beautifully, and hubby just went to get her some dinner. :) ziasudra_fic and I are ( Read more... )

Some good news! xingou just called, and asked me to pass on the news that everything went well with her doctor's appointment, and apparently the baby is fine! (Yay! OMG! She's got @ two weeks left to go!) She'll be away from her computer for the rest of the day, but I'm sure she'll post when she gets home.

Right. Back to work. Bleh.

Last January I was quite chatty. This year, not so much. Well, it doesn't help that I've had a new Crohn's flare up over the past couple of weeks, so really, you should all be thankful I've spared you my cranky bitching. (Well, except the l00bs when they were here last weekend and I was horrifically cranky, so my apologies, gals.) I don't like ( Read more... )

I posted this in the comments over at accio_arse's lj yesterday, after clicking over to her site from a link at metafandom. Her post was basically about the 'veritable pornutopia' that is fandom porn vs. the gay porn videos put out by the industry. Her post reminded me of one (or two or possibly three) of our l00b gatherings, and while I've mentioned our forays into ( Read more... )
