I'm not going to post the Harry Potter pictures tonight, either. But I did promise barbed_whispers I'd do an LJ poll for science. (Since that's the only way to do science. We're really worried about the state of scientific discovery in the world what with LJ going so quiet.)

Poll For science.

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS. FIFTEEN DAYS UNTIL CON. I STILL HAVE SEWING TO FORCE LISA TO HELP ME WITH. HOW DOES TIME WORK THIS WAY EVERY YEAR? Anyway, it's time to start setting things up and getting amped about seeing your excellent faces, so it's Thursday night dinner planning time! Like last year, we are planning to have our Thursday Night Dinner @ Max ( Read more... )

Everyone knows the most accurate way to do science is LJ polls, and since barbed_whispers is clearly just MAKING THINGS UP I thought I'd come here to verify.

Poll Oppa Cotton Style

In other terrifying news, someone mashed up Cotton Eyed Joe and Gangnam Style, because why not I guess?

[Heavy lifting.] Had my first call with the Health Coach last night. I didn't cry and she didn't try to shame me! We talked about my goals and my current state of disrepair and all of the things I know I need to do but just...don't. That is seriously the story of my life at this point. I draw up diagrams and lists of things I could do to make ( Read more... )

Hokay! I know people have been pestering theemdash with emails about this, so we'll go ahead and get it out of the way. This year we are having our Thursday Night Dinner at Max Lager's at 6PM. For those of you who might be new to the experience, there's a helpful map of where Max Lager's is in relation to the hotels here. For those of you who aren't new ( Read more... )

I just saw the most horrifying Teen Wolf gif. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, TUMBLR? WHY DO YOU DO THESE THINGS TO ME? Anyway, this is not about how Tumblr is apparently trying to smoke me out via Teen Wolf gifs or something, this is about BATMAN. I know, you're all surprised ( Read more... )

MOO HA HA.

Poll Creepy jerks.

Saw Hunger Games! Loved it! Teared up about eight hundred times! Spotted ninepointfivemm in the Caesar crowd! (You should have stolen that wig.) Now I can go read all of your reactions without being spoiled to high hell. Not that I'm generally concerned about spoilers, since I knew how it ended going in, but you know. I guess I'll read the ( Read more... )

So, last night kel_reiley was musing over twitter about how she'd been reading a fic and a guy in his 20s had used the term 'mother hen', which she personally felt like some one of that demographic wouldn't do. That led to a discussion in which it was realized that lots of people about our age say 'mother hen', but then the question moved to whether it was ( Read more... )

Over on twitter getyourguns was musing about how X-Men: First Class had been labeled as Fantasy at the Scream Awards, because she considered it to be more Science-Fiction instead. matthewbowers responded to her and said that Science-Fiction and Fantasy are rarely crossed together. He contends that each has a set of tropes and themes that you never (or hardly ever) find ( Read more... )

I am so damn intrigued right now. cleolinda has a poll going here where she's trying to correlate instances of INFP-ness to instances of someone being an empath. She has links to a Myers-Briggs test and explanations of what an empath is and it's all very interesting. If you're so inclined, I urge you to be a sample case for her poll. But really, that's ( Read more... )
