(the empire strikes back is on. it's still my favorite star wars movie. the first fannish conversation i ever remember having was with a boy in my class, discussing what yoda meant.)

this morning: zoom brunch with friends, which i got up early for so i could make pancakes. zoom brunch is fun. tamalinn's tiny dog made an appearance again, as she does ( Read more... )

today is apparently national dragon appreciation day. also the ladies' room at work is FUCKING FREEZING. these things are not related ( Read more... )

well yesterday was a day. :| so was tuesday. travel is now the bane of my existence - i now know that amtrak won't let you book a round trip if it includes a flight as well as a train. see, the very special partner asked me to book her a round trip to new york - fly down, train back, one night at a hotel, piece of cake. seriously, it's a really ( Read more... )

What I just finished reading:
quicksilver, FINALLY. i don't even know what i think about it, other than "long and dense and full of science". i kept wanting to know what happened, and i didn't resort to skipping ahead to find out, so that's something. and for all the world-shaking events happening around the characters, their relationships with ( Read more... )

(i was watching total dramarama on the cartoon network before. little kids playing superheroes. bee girl will sting you if you're bad - her stinger is a plunger, because kids - but if you're good.... :D ( Read more... )

i'm catching up on you're the worst, which can be a genuinely weird show and is sometimes about genuinely awful people but is also sometimes weirdly funny. (the toilet in question is the kind with like twelve different settings including apparently water jets or something that can get you off. you know, after you pee ( Read more... )

yesterday i went to the mall O.O three days before christmas O.O and it wasn't as awful as i was expecting, once i made allowances for the people who didn't realize there were other shoppers who needed to get around them. (but there are always slow and inconsiderate and oblivious people at the mall.) i didn't have to drive around for an hour to ( Read more... )

What I just finished reading:
the iron dragon's daughter, and i forgot how many unlikable characters were in it. the main character vacillates between unlikable and vaguely sympathetic - a lot of shit happens to her but she manages to survive it - but a lot of the supporting characters are cruel, careless, petty, manipulative assholes, and after a ( Read more... )
