For the two of you wondering what I thought about the second volume of Love Fights, by Andi Watson: I really dug it! The second volume moves the Flamer story to the forefront and takes advantage of the book's conceit that comic books are fictional retellings of actual superhero exploits. And there are some neat plot twists! I don't think much of ( Read more... )

Saturday is the first day that all four of us have the same morning plans! We are excited for the Chuck panel at 10. The express trolley runs earlier on the weekend, so waking up early is a good strategy, as usual.

Previously on Buffista F2F: Seattle Edition-I arrived in Seattle, hung out with friends, and explored the city a bit. Then there was an EXCITING CLIFFHANGER where I had just entered the Buffistas Hospitality Suite.

So remember that time three years ago when I wrote about the Buffista F2F? No, you probably don't. But that's why I link! Since these posts are like the sequel! Every year, the Buffistas descend upon an unsuspecting city and rock out, and this year, we gathered in Seattle. Which, luckily, contained other people I wanted to see, so it was all sorts ( 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.

It's the "25 Things" meme that's taken Facebook by storm! I feel that I must share them with you as well because you know me better. Or do you even know me at all?

And so, as was foretold in the Prophecies of Pythia, Polter-Cow did return to Boston a month later to attend the Drug Information Association Annual Meeting.Pull up a chair and let me tell you about the craziness that is my life, in which I end up running into someone I have not seen in a year, someone I have not seen in five years, and someone I ( Read more... )

Does anyone else get that itch to post if you haven't posted in a few days? It's probably directly related to the amount of comments you're getting.

Also, it's Friday, which means it's Friday fun time. Here are some high-larious links from CollegeHumor.com for you:

The last two days were merely leading up to Saturday, the Big Day. One of two, for Sunday would be Big in its own right. But we're not there yet.

Special thanks to sadiekate, outoffashion, spadada, waitaminute17, and thewizrd (courtesy of schnappycat), whose kickass pictures I will be linking throughout the rest of the posts.

Let's do this like Brutus.
