may the fourth be with you!

and also with you.today was free comic book day, so after my dentist appointment (i waited twenty minutes but the dentist was done with me in half an hour) i took myself to the comic shop to a. check out the new comics, and b. try to remember what i wanted to actually buy. (did not remember.) ended up talking to a new ( Read more... )

a thing i forgot to mention about air, which is the thing i always think of when people mention michael jordan, which is a scene from the movie blink. which if you haven't seen it, stars madeleine stowe as a blind woman (her mom smashed her face into a mirror when she was little) who gets a cornea transplant or something so she can see again. the ( Read more... )

so today was the coronation of charles iii (didn't watch), the kentucky derby (also didn't watch), free comic book day (didn't even know until it was too late which makes me feel like a bad comics fan), and somerville open studios (now that i knew about). my roommate makes weird watercolors and has a friend who lives in somerville and makes ( Read more... )

the bang is away! by which i mean i sent it to wendy to be checked for completeness, with the summary and all the other important info (rating, pairing, title) for artists' claims. woot. now we breathe in and out and hope someone is intrigued by the summary enough to want to pick it for art ( Read more... )

this weekend was somerville open studios, and because it's bad form to take pictures of other people's art (altho sometimes they let you touch it :D ) i took pictures of trees instead.

( i love the fluffy pink ones. )

this week was THE SLOWEST at work, because i didn't have a lot to do and no one had much to give me. may 15 is the tax deadline for non-profits, tho, so things should pick up. we had a cinco de mayo party on the 4th, which seemed like an odd day to have it, and it was a taco bar with multi-colored taco chips and guac and regular chips and dip and ( Read more... )

happy slightly late birthday to miriad, new(ish) mommy and returner to lj! this calls for cake that you don't have to share. :D (altho does the kid have teeth yet?)

dancing boys: *conga line*

people cleared out at work enough for me to take a picture of the flowers i got for being an administrative professional. ( the lilies just went *fwoom* and opened up. )

so today i hauled my ass out of bed slightly earlier than i like to haul it on saturday, so i could go to the dentist and they could deep-clean my teeth. this involved stabbing my gums with a long thin syringe to inject me with painkillers so the hygienist could dig around under my gums. she thought i was weird because i thought the syringe was ( Read more... )

today was somerville open studios and also free comic book day, so i met one of the women from my writing group and her wife and their kid (who's two and completely adorable) and we went to farwing's studio - i mean her house - to admire her art and say hi, and then another house which turned out to be where drglam lives! (i recognized the stairwell. it's a ( Read more... )
