I'm baaaaaaaack.

So, on that *other* social media site, there is a secret group that is trying to get the band back together (as it were) here on LJ. So far, it's been a glorious class reunion. I never lost touch with fragbert, thankfully, but getting back in touch with first_lobster and trappedinabay has been marvelous. There's also a new community, 2017revival that seems dead set ( Read more... )

First of all, I absolutely must wish a happy birthday to killerweasel, one of my favorite journalers these days. She posts a fabulous amount of stuff, which makes me look cool, because I get to see all the memes and read all the geeky articles before they break wide. She always gets them first. And she's a cool person besides. Happy birthday, and congrats ( Read more... )

Last night, j_bkl and I finally saw Avatar in all of its IMAX 3D glory.

First, natal greetings go out to some of my very favorite people, who all seem to be clumped around this time of year.

Many, many happy (and happier) days to redstapler, jackalprey, firynze, and of course, antheia. I hope your days were all happy, and I can only wish you all even happier ones to come. ::hugs and smishes all around ( Read more... )

My throat is itchy. I do not know why it is, but either way, I do not approve ( Read more... )

1. A few days ago, Midtown Lunch posted a review of Dainobu Japanese Deli, which just opened its doors on 47th street b/t Lex & 3rd. Since I was down that way anyway to pick up a few comics, I decided to poke my nose in and see how it was. I'm a big fan of Cafe Zaiya (on 41st near Madison), so I was eager to try this place out ( Read more... )
