This Saturday was BFD! It was my third year in a row going to Live105's big summer all-day concert, and my compatriots this time were holly96 and her friend Christina, who did not look burnt...or dead. We kept up my tradition of getting Jack in the Box for lunch, and I kept up my tradition of getting mozzarrella sticks and Coke for the drive back, but ( Read more... )

If you haven't heard, Chuck and Dollhouse have been renewed, and The Sarah Connor Chronicles is, as expected, pretty much dead on toast.

Today, I went to the San Francisco Zoo! With Lisa (danea) and Rick (ellric) and Seanan (cadhla) and Cat (ceolyn) and a couple of Seanan's co-workers. Do you like animals? ANIMALS ARE PRETTY COOL! Here, have a zoo picspam.

You know what's good to do when you're sick and vaguely discontent? Travel up north to visit friends! Especially one you haven't seen since the VM series finale party (and what the hell, why did no one tell me about the flagrant error in my list of people???). Here are some things that are good for the soul:

• driving up Saturday morning with ( Read more... )

On this, my last night at home, I was reminded that we have Skinemax Cinemax, as I caught a glimpse of the title Passion Cove 2: Deep Desires on the guide. So I scurried upstairs to the master bedroom and locked the door to catch a little soft porn on the same big screen TV on which I had surreptitiously watched soft porn late at night as a ( Read more... )

Another one?! Yes, another one.

I'm not entirely sure how I know Jess (ariiadne). That is, I know we met on OpenDiary, but I can't quite figure out how. I can see that she was leaving me notes as early as 2001, on some of my very first entries, but there's no indication of how she stumbled upon my diary. And she changed her name a couple times, so I'm not ( Read more... )

So as was foreshadowed, arbitrarium and I went to BFD, the big summer concert held by Live105, the only radio station worth listening to around here. But before I get to that, I want to record some of my memories of last year's BFD, because it was pretty awesome.

( BFD 2007, in short (as if): Honeycut, The Matches, CSS, Street to Nowhere, The Lovemakers, Tiger Army, Shiny Toy Guns, Sum 41, Cold War Kids, The Bravery, Silversun Pickups, The Faint, Scissors for Lefty, Kaiser Chiefs, Interpol, Queens of the Stone Age, Social Distortion, Bloc Party )

Thanks to all who participated in the artist picture meme thing. If you're interested, here are the answers, along with my "favorite song," where "favorite song" is sometimes defined as "What song would I or have I put on a mix CD to represent this artist?" Or, really, "What's the first 'favorite song' I think of?" Today. It was a fun little meme ( Read more... )

So many of you are familiar with my freaky mix CDs. Jason Dohring's mix was popular for obvious reasons, and he seemed to enjoy the concept when I gave it to him. In fact, he did sincerely thank me during the online press conference.

I thought the saga was over.

I was wrong.

It has come to my attention that there are "certain people" who are quashing critical analysis of Veronica Mars. These people, if reports are to be believed, are raiding people's houses and actually smashing their computers, only to replace them with consoles that are capable solely of communicating such phrases as "Bravo, Rob Thomas!" and "What a ( Read more... )
