a phd student in one of the groups i support at work is going to a conference in spain next month (she's presenting a paper). i book her flight, get her a hotel, she's all set, and today i get an email from the travel agent telling me that there was a slight change in her flight. a slight change as in she was originally flying home at 3:30p and ( Read more... )

so i went to florida last week and got a little sun and ate a lot and did not sleep well (i think partly because it was a single bed and i'm used to a double) and played dominos and watched a lot of yellowstone (my mom and sister are big fans and my sister had to catch up to mom so i got to catch up too) (i still haven't seen s1 tho) and saw a play ( Read more... )

OH MY GOD IT WAS SO COLD TODAY. *gets a grip* it was like 9ºf when my roommate left for work. brilliantly sunny but bitter cold. i left the house for like two minutes after lunch and by "left the house" i mean "opened the front door, leaned out of the front hall, and grabbed the mail". i didn't even step out of the doorway. one of the ( Read more... )

on saturday, at the bar mitzvah, the dj played nicki minaj's starships, and the song was half over before i realized i didn't know it from the radio, but from a vid. which i apparently did not download. i found a starships vid on ao3 but it doesn't totally look like i remember, so i ask the fen in the audience - is there another vid about ( Read more... )

last week was such a week, and today at work i did stuff, reminded the new mail room guy how to bind, forgot stupid shit, kept busy, was low-level worried i was going to get fired. (to be fair, i've been low-level worried i'm going to get fired for a couple weeks already.) also i have an ugly-ass bruise inside my elbow and it itches. i am not ( Read more... )

i can get a VERY CHEAP flight to wincon, except i have to be able to change planes in forty-four minutes. in laguardia airport. in new york. is forty-four minutes enough time to change planes ANYWHERE? especially if you have to trust that your suitcase will change planes with you ( Read more... )

are there any vidders out there who love me and want to try making a steve/bucky vid to mumford and sons' roll away your stone? or a steve vid to oingo boingo's just another day? imagine me batting my eyes fetchingly. :D there's also avicii's hey brother, which i think is a thor&loki song. ...there's a reason i don't vid, and it's not because i ( Read more... )

so i went to the mall today, which was not the clusterfuck i was expecting, and i bought a shiny new microphone for my laptop, and as soon as i have stuffed my face with more leftovers i'll try it out and see if it ignores the fan whir. it looks cool, anyway.

and when that's straightened out i have some playlists to upload for insmallpackages. woot ( Read more... )

happy birthday wolfling! who i knew of long before we ever actually met. which was at connexions, i think. and then we were both on the wincest panel at the first wincon.... good times. also a birthday calls for cake. :D and maybe a timbit with a wee candle stuck in it ( Read more... )

i didn't have the patience to try and make beet burgers when i got home - altho they did look pretty tasty, altho i might just be saying that because they were SO PINK - so i just wrapped my beets in tinfoil and stuck them in the oven for an hour, and cut up the greens and stir-fried them in olive oil and red wine vinegar. the stems tasted kind of ( Read more... )
