It was a good birthday. Really, how could any birthday that included the season premiere of Doctor Who not be? Ryan took me to this new sushi place my labmate has been raving about. And it was amazing ( Read more... )

I skipped church today due to lack of pants. Apparently my dryer wasn't quite up to the task and all my pants are still damp. And it's too cold for a skirt. I must say "lack of pants" is one of the more interesting reason's I've skipped church. :p

Saw Sweeney Todd today. :p I was glad that I was warned that Johnny Depp wasn't a very strong singer, because it meant I could focus on his acting instead ( Read more... )

First of all, I have a new surefire cheer up video! John Barrowman on a British quiz show of some sort called Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Challenging the host to a gay-off! Is win! Brings a smile to my life forever. :p "You have OUT-GAYED me Barrowman!" "Let's have a gay-off! Lips pursed, hands on the table, go!". :p ( Read more... )
