Ahh, yes. The perfect time has arrived to use my "relax it's only a movie" tag. I'll use it for all reality-based posts for a while, I imagine ( Read more... )

Here is a video of Misha explaining why he was going to be late to Burcon. (He had to park his car and walk because he knew he wasn't going to be able to get there any other way!) This is a very cool video for many reasons--for me it's amazing to see 1) the number of protesters, and 2) all these people run up, give Misha a hug and a kind word ( Read more... )

I really love to play video games. Some people consider them a waste of time; I consider them an interactive art form. Plus, I'm really into technology ( Read more... )

Oh, Prince, you never aged a day. How could you have gone before me? RIP, my purple genius.

Soo ... after that auspicious beginning, it was actually a pretty sucktastic time. :-( More about that and hopefully more video for you after we're home and have put ourselves and our lives back together, but anyway ... miss you all, miss my regular life, can't wait to be back to our regularly scheduled programming. <3

But I really like my life now. I've spent all my spare time for the past week or so writing and writing, ( Read more... )

The lead singer of that band I rave about is currently live-streaming playing nerdy games with a bunch of other nerds, which is so awesome and bewildering in a total wtf kind of way. How many times did I wish I could be a fly on the wall of a lazy Saturday of the rock stars I loved in my youth? And today's technology makes it totally possible ( Read more... )

We just got done watching The End of the Tour, the biopic starring Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg based on writer David Foster Wallace and writer/journalist David Lipsky's little roadtrip together on one of Wallace's book tours in the 1990s. I've wanted to see it since it came out, because I've been fascinated by the myth of Wallace since I first ( Read more... )
