happy (late >.< ) birthday to idiosyncratic, writer and fangirl! and fun person to walk around boston with. :D i'm assuming it was a good day, and i hope there was cake and it was good too. also, you should come visit again. just maybe not when it's so fucking cold....

the receptionist at work left early so i had to cover for her remaining three hours. i may or may not have taken one of those hours for lunch. ahem. and then when i got back, the office manager told me i have to take lunch while the receptionist is still here, so i don't have to find someone to cover for me while i'm covering for her. i did not say, but maybe i should have, that i couldn't take lunch before the receptionist left because i was, you know, doing my job. by which i mean, i was upstairs binding reports. eighty of them. and i don't think i'm supposed to put covering-for-the-receptionist ahead of the stuff i'm paid to do.
altho if i hadn't taken lunch and had eaten it at the front desk, i could leave an hour early.... hm. but i reallllly needed to go outside and walk around in the breeze and the sunshine.
on wednesday i met gnomi for lunch and bent her ear about my bigbang, which she is now reading! so i think it was an improvement over my previous tendency to unload all my steve/bucky/winter soldier/sebastian stan feels on her. (also i'm not nearly as fixated as i was, altho i do kind of want to watch political animals again. and the few episodes of ouat that sebstan is in. it's the face, what can i say. i'm a sucker for that boy's fucking, fucking face face.)
and then wednesday night on the bus there was a middle-aged guy with a little superman s tattooed on his inner arm, and a younger guy in a samcro t-shirt. i had a moment of inner squee.
photos of shanghai taken from a crane. not for those who might be afraid of heights.
3d-printed barbie armor! like, armor for barbie! how cool is that? when i was twelve i would've wanted that for my barbies SO BADLY.
rubber ducky comet, you're the one - it kind of looks like it fell out of god's celestial bathtub.
someone stole the holy grail from a house in the uk - ok, so its holy grail-ness has been debunked, but still, imagine being a local cop and getting a call that that has been stolen.
futurama skyline rendered in 3d - with bonus rendering of the planet express ship. shiny!
jon stewart and stephen colbert battle for star wars geek supremacy - featuring a light saber battle, because of course, and cosplay, because of course, and, well, giant dorks. because stephen colbert.
and for sheer wtf-ery, this guy is trying to kickstart a sequel to breaking bad. no, he doesn't have the rights. and no, he doesn't even have permission. and no, his synopsis, such as it is, sounds nothing like breaking bad. but he wants val kilmer and slash to star, and they haven't said no! so clearly he can bank on them appearing. i can't tell if he's serious or just yanking everyone's chain.
