My Saturday plans were to include a sly Netflix gambit of watching a movie and returning it the same day, but the last pick-up was at 2:30, and my mail did not arrive in time! So instead I went to the comic book store and dropped off postcards for the SF Olympians Festival and geeked out about Justice League. Then I visited Jess and Colin and met ( Read more... )

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... )

Hey, Monday night gang! If you weren't here over the weekend, you missed my post about Hey Ocean!, a Canadian band you should totally check out. If you're into jazzy, funky indie pop. (Which...apparently I am?) I posted songs! Come on, they're insanityjones's new favorite band. We're Facebook friends with them and everything ( Read more... )

If you are watching The Sarah Connor Chronicles but are not reading The Sarah Connor Comicals, you are...sorely deprived. They are absolutely hilarious and fiendishly clever. Easily the best thing to come out of this fandom. roxybisquaint:SCC::kroki_refur:SPN. You should definitely check it out, before the socialism.

And while I'm linking things, check out this awesome ( Read more... )

If you're just joining us, you've missed three days of AMWA conference fun! You're going to want to read up and get familiar with the cast of characters for this next outing. Plus, then you won't be all, "What the crap is he doing in Louisville?"

Thanks to a training course in project management, I am once again in Arizona. Phoenix, specifically. Which meant that I could see Cory (shpyum) again! And, as a bonus, I could finally meet sterope, who, like Mara, knows me from the Old Days. And, as a double bonus, she could get us into the Phoenix Art Museum for free! And, to my surprise, it was totally worth ( Read more... )

On February 4, 2002, a young girl named Mara-later to be known as electricmonk-clicked around people's online diaries and stumbled upon a meme by one Polter-Cow, who used Our Lady Peace lyrics to describe himself. Being a fan of Our Lady Peace, she befriended this boy-later to be known as spectralbovine-and amused him greatly by proving herself to be a version of him with ( Read more... )

The first week of July, Cynda (arbitrarium) totally left California. But she missed me way too much to stay away for long! Either that or she really wanted to see Radiohead in Golden Gate Park. And get some papers signed to finalize her divorce. And collect her stuff. And...whatever her reasons, she came back for a spell Wednesday night, BFF Kylie (stella_hime) in tow ( Read more... )

jeeperstseepers/TAPhD/Dr. Tiffani Sylar, Ph.D., is one of my favorite people in all the world. This tends to happen when you talk to someone online nearly every day for the better part of three-and-a-half years. In some ways, we are extremely similar, and in others, we are polar opposites. She's one of the few online friends I've had extended phone conversations ( Read more... )

And, lo, Sunil did not know when to shut up, so Friday through Monday were relegated to their own post. The story continues below!
