So last night, when I went to Geek Night, it was sleeting and raining and beginning to be slick, but nothing more than icky out.  And then when Amy called to see what the plan was, she mentioned snow.  I thought she was seeing things until she turned up with snowflakes in her hair.  By the time Supernatural came on, we could see out the window that ( Read more... )

I have scheduled a vacation.  Finally.  In September, when it will be cooler.

At least I hope it will be cooler.  It's like a pressure cooker out there lately.

Nearing the end of my sabbath from "things to be involved in", I find myself arranging my own social things.  Well, two so far.  Which may or may not last, we'll see.

Last night, Kristin and I watched City of Death, and it was great fun.  I'd forgotten how very, very good the dialogue is.  Of course, that's what happens when you have a Doctor Who episode cowritten by Douglas Adams ( Read more... )

I posted awhile back that the choir I sing in had been invited to sing in (parts of) the British Isles next summer.  We got some more concrete info today: it'd cost somewhere around $2,000 (depending, partially, on exchange rates) and it would be primarily in Ireland, with a possible stop in Scotland.  And it'll be in late June.  If we go.  I ( Read more... )

I've been packing.  Checked the weather for my destination: mid seventies all week.  And it topped out near 100F here today.  Man ( Read more... )

It's the small things in life that make you grateful.  ( Cut for TMI of the feminine sort )

Note to self: summer airfares are STINKIN' EXPENSIVE.  I don't think I paid half as much for my flight last September.  The family's going out west for a cousin's wedding, and we're all trying to book flights together, and I had no idea it would cost quite that much ( Read more... )

So I've found myself wandering back to the strange and twisty corridors of Fanfiction.net after being largely absent for, oh... five years.  Maybe less: I suppose I read some HP fic between Order of the Phoenix and now.  I posted a couple Stargate stories in recent years, but that's about it.  So I've been back there, sniffing out likely-looking ( Read more... )
