I am so proud of myself right now. The washing machines here like to eat coins; they often get stuck going in, sometimes beyond the point at which the return button will help. I got stuck on the fifth going in out of six needed and decided I was Not Having That. Fifteen minutes later, after careful application of internet, flashlight, and unbent ( Read more... )

Man, LJ is slow today. Here's a post to kick your likely-also-slow flist down a notch.

Three strange beliefs I had as a childI'm not talking about fat red-suited men sliding down chimneys or other collective fantasies, but the weird shit that came from my very own brain ( Read more... )

Flist, I am appalled. Appalled, I tell you! Why on Earth did none of you ever mention 1bruce1's existence to me?* The community userinfo reveals all. For shame ( Read more... )

Me list o'friends be full o'land lubbers, methinks! Where be the scallawags nigh brave or foolhardy to celebrate this most glorious o'days? Out with ye, ya lily-livered bilge rats!

This is a true story.

It was almost three o'clock...in the morning.  I was in the midst of a bizarre, but entertaining dream whose contents I have now lost, when ( suddenly I heard a clicking, ticking at my chamber door; only this, and nothing more - oh wait, wrong Poe )

Happy Birthday, sylphie!

And happy Pi Day to the rest of you. :-D

Happy Birthday, Caroline!

I did end up at my sister's on Saturday for a lovely day of burning through DVDs.  We finished up Farscape S1 and are now two-thirds of the way through Scrubs S1.  I don't know what we're going to do after we finish that one, since she is resisting the BSG lure and I'm not going to be pushy about it.  Probably P&P once ( Read more... )

Amusement for fellow BSG geeks: Wired has a little blurb in the February issue called Presidential Showdown, facing off Laura Roslin and Mackenzie Allen (that would be Geena Davis of "Commander in Chief," for those out of that loop).  It's cute, although I would replace Tigh with Zarek.  Spoilers only through season one, really ( Read more... )
