Hey, friends -- I'm back from New Mexico. I don't know how or if I'll ever be able to talk about it; it was deeply, deeply private and very, very necessary, and I think, for those who want the quick version, that it worked. Ant-Man turned out to be fun enough, though I wish, of course, that ( spoiler )

I'm sort of overidentifying with Maru and red bag right now. But I set up my out-of-office at work and turned off all my alerts on my phone (the only piece of technology that's not a camera that I'm bringing with me), and I've just booked a cab for 3:30 in the morning to take me to LaGuardia. It's so ugly early that I'm wondering if I should even ( Read more... )

I'm in DC! Hanging in a dear childhood friend's apartment with a super hilarious white Pomeranian mix named Hensley. DC, I said it on Twitter, but your transit card machines are incomprehensible for noobs. I guess I didn't need that $14.50 anyway ( Read more... )

Hello from Lincoln Center. I am writing from the NYPL branch over here. I now have a temporary NYPL card, which is very exciting and something I never expected to have! So, in theory I'm going to hang out here for an hour and then, if I'm not on some extremely productive streak, I'm going to go see From Up on Poppy Hill, the new Studio Ghibli film ( Read more... )

Wyoming, you are very pretty, and Laramie, you are small but have people I adore in you, but dear god, NEVER AGAIN with the 80+ mph speed limits in the dark. NO NO NO NO NO.

I just rediscovered Storify, right before my lunch break. (I had done a bare-bones report on my train trip to L.A. and Santa Fe this spring, which I don't actually think I ever linked.) It's so much fun. So much! I'm using it to catalog my Robin Hood hatewatch, and it's turning into a pretty interesting experience, actually. I'll publish it when I' ( Read more... )

That I'm back, and it was the most amazing and incredible, even if I sort of fudged the landing by forgetting things on the train (twice) (on the last car of the farthest away platform) (but I got a cab and then Indian food, so it turned out okay), but really, truly, it was incredible, and I will have a real write-up with pictures (so many pictures ( Read more... )

So close so close so close! Train time, you should come at me faster. It still doesn't feel real, especially since I'm still at work and haven't been able to get done most of the things I need to take care of before I leave (laundry! cleaning! packing! plant-watering! book-choosing!). But I guarantee by this time tomorrow I'll feel different. ( ( Read more... )

Ohmygod, you guys, I am doing this. I cannot begin to tell you how happy and excited and happy I am ( Read more... )
