Yesterday I was strolling through the Boystown neighborhood, which (as you might guess by the name) is THE prominent gayborhood of Chicago. I stopped in a local bookstore, and as I was browsing, I turned a corner and found the gay and lesbian section of the store:

Heeeeeeeeey there, I haven't posted since VividCon. I feel bad about that. (Not really sure why, but I do.) So, here, have a random and not-at-all-fannish post.

Instead of doing a year-end vid retrospective like other people (one vid! I made one whole vid! That's more than the previous year!), I shall do a travel retrospective. Because I was much ( Read more... )

Obligatory Game of Thrones content: I have SO MUCH to say about last week's episode, and yet there are no words. *flails* And the finale is TONIGHT!!! Eeeeeeeeeeee!!

But I am actually posting about something not related to GoT. I have a decision to make, and I'm not sure if I'm seeking advice or if I just need to verbalize my thoughts to help with ( Read more... )

*tentatively waves*

Um. Hi? Is this thing on? *taps mic*

Soooooo, right, there was that time when I didn't post or comment or even read the internets at all for a whole five months. Aaaaaand we're back!

You know. The usual. Work gets hectic, life gets busy, blah. Plus on the rare occasion when something silly or trivial happened and I was briefly ( Read more... )

Um, hi. *waves ( Read more... )

Geez, I spend one day at work away from the internets, and El Jay asplodes in my absence. Apparently there is a thing? Somehow involving Facebook and/or Twitter? And it's bad, and people are upset? (Not that this is ever a surprise with LJ's "features".) I've been skimming my flist for the past half-hour or so coming up to speed, and have two ( Read more... )

I am going to attempt to do that 20-days-of-vidding meme started by jarrow even though I am simultaneously pointing and laughing at myself and saying "Oh, SELF. Really? Come now", because I barely manage to post 20 times a year, much less once a day. So don't be alarmed if I disappear again somewhere around day 3! That is standard operating procedure ( Read more... )

Greetings from Barcelona! I've only been here for a day and I am LOVING IT. Am staying with my friend Deepti, who I haven't seen since May, and it's been wonderful to be able to catch up with her - it feels just like old times. :) Unfortunately, even though I made it here safe and sound, my luggage didn't. BOOOO. I've been told that it will arrive ( Read more... )

I am finally, finally, FINALLY on vacation. *breathes a huuuuge sigh of relief*

Many things to post, but let's start with this one: I received a copy of boi4eliza's brand-new debut album, Forget to Breathe, in the mail last week, and I am here to officially state for the record that IT IS AWESOME. His songs are so catchy and I've been listening to them ( Read more... )

And after being away for so long, I have Things Of Great Importance to discuss. *nods sagely* Such as this!

Poll Fashion Nightmare DeathmatchThis poll brought to you by the women of Chicago, bless their hearts. Normally it would not even be a contest - the jeans-around-the-knees look ALWAYS wins - but I have seen faaaar too many ass dimples and thigh bulges and crack outlines in ( Read more... )
