Happy birthday to rowandoll. I know it has been, to put it mildly, a difficult and challenging year for you, so, first and foremost, I wish you happiness. And health. And success on your goals, even if it takes some time. I wish you unexpected and perhaps even macabre delights in your media consumption. I look forward to seeing you IRL, and hanging out IRL ( Read more... )

Happy (belated) Birthday to rowandollI know the last two+ months have been tough for you. And no, the fact that it has been tough for all of us who aren't ridiculously loaded oligarchs doesn't diminish how tough it has been for you. Ain't much I can do about that, unfortunately, except to send you my care and support. And hope that next year won't drop ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday to cosmicriver. I realize that it's a pretty daunting milestone to reach. I know it was daunting for me, and for just about everybody i know who celebrated this particular birthday before. But, in the greater scheme of things, it's not quite that scary ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday to cosmicriverI feel like a broken record, but I still hope that this year will be easier on you than the past year. Especially when it comes to unexpected expenses.

Because you create some awesome stuff, and ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday to cosmicriverI am glad that your life seems to be settling down work-wise, even if it's still pretty stressful. Honestly, I feel like I haven't been the most attentive friend, and I'm sorry for that. Sure, I've been busy with work and... other stuff, but I feel like it's not enough of an excuse. If anything, my recent experiences have brought ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday to rowandollFirst of all, I am happy that you are greeting this year not working at a job that has been trying to nibble away at your soul. Hopefully, this new job will actually be rewarding, and not just full of fun toys (though those do, admittedly, look fun ( Read more... )

It's time for my semi-regular look at some interesting and generally noteworthy podcasts I listened to in recent... Well, it would have been a week, but work stuff kept delaying this post, and Livejournal erased one of the drafts, forcing me to rewrite quite a bit from scratch, so it's really more of a month.

Ever since I discovered made_of_fail_pc... almost six years ago at this point, I've subscribed to a whole bunch of podcasts. Whenever I hear episodes I particularly like, I tend to plug them on Twitter. But it occurs to me that a lot of people reading this probably don't follow me on Twitter.
