Last night I saw Laena's tweet about The Like being on indefinite hiatus. Just in case I'd forgotten for a minute that bandom is the most heartbreaking of fandoms. I mean, I know "hiatus" doesn't necessarily equal "broken up forever," but they seemed to being doing so well and to be gaining momentum and to be so happy about it. I just keep ( Read more... )

This weekend inlovewithnight and I went up to Philadelphia to see Black Cards (and hang out with my little brother). Both of those things were fun! It was a fairly low-key weekend filled mostly with television mainlining and greasy Chinese food. But then Black Cards!

Today is better than the terrible day I had yesterday! But 1) that's not difficult and 2) it's probably largely because I'm working from home. But only today and tomorrow, and then I'm pretty excited about Thanksgiving and by "Thanksgiving" I mostly mean "pie, and watching horror movies with my brother," but it's going to be great ( Read more... )

Here is a lolcat that reminds me of my office: :((( But Twitter is somehow magically unblocked, which is pretty great. Still no LJ, but I guess I probably wouldn't want to take the chance of logging in at work anyway. I know they're watching us.

Sometimes I think my bandom interest is waning, and I that I only hung on as long as I did because of the new infusion of delightfulness provided by The Like last year. And then sometimes I buy tickets so that inlovewithnight and I can drive five and a half hours to Poughkeepsie to see Pete Wentz's new band, and, what's more, I realize that I'm really, really ( Read more... )

Almost a week into my first week of work and I think it's going pretty well. I like my coworkers so far and I'm not yet actively miserable. That's probably a win. I am not yet reconciled to the idea of working in a cubicle, but it really is a good job and also I was also really thrilled when classes started up and I didn't have to go, so I guess ( Read more... )

I'm pretty behind on my flist, so I'm sure I'm the 8,265th person to post this, but !!!!!!!Oh, ridiculous fannish overinvestment: way less intense than it used to be, but still very much there ( Read more... )

Oh goody, goody, there's another Teaparty rally in DC this weekend. At least they have been advised to stay off the green and yellow lines, which I guess means they won't be around my neighborhood. (there is also this handy map). Maybe it will at least be entertaining after the fact again. My favorite part about the last rally was the irony of ( Read more... )

It's midnight, I've got about half of my apartment in boxes and the whole place is scattered with trash and empty beer bottles because apparently that's how I roll under stress. Five days until the move! I might make it ( Read more... )
