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

Well, we'd have made pretty decent time through the canyon if we hadn't gotten stuck IN TOWN RIGHT AFTER WE LEFT in a traffic jam that delayed us nearly an hour. O__O It was all right--we just had fun listening to an MCR CD and singing, but it did delay us by quite a bit. We drove up to this place in pitch darkness. It's in a tiny remote Utah ( Read more... )

I'm equal parts excited and nervous about the trip. We used to travel all the time, which was easy then (except financially, but hey, that's what credits cards were for, right?) because I didn't like my life and I always wanted to escape it. 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... )

This quilt I'm making continually defies the laws of physics. I measured every part multiple times, yet no part matches up to any of the others, top, bottom, or batting.

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... )

The February Fandom Fest put on by selenic76 is all about expressing your love for any fandom however you see fit (one of the hopes being that others will find a new show to love). I’ve already seen some really cool entries! (Go here to see them all, and if you’re interested in participating, sign up ( Read more... )

The happiest of birthdays to the gal who's a big part of what keeps us going and having fun around here.

We've been talking a lot about music lately, specifically (early) '80s music and our shared love for it. I was there for it, she wasn't.

So I made this playlist for you, Milly. Imagine you and I and septembers_coda are all hanging around together ( Read more... )

Trying to talk about David Bowie is one of those things where there's so much to say, I'll probably end up saying nothing at all. Or so I imagined, but here I keep making posts. Here's a fun one, a short video of Ricky Gervais talking about being pen pals with Bowie:

Well, and hey, if we're talking about Bowie writing wonderful letters, then I ( Read more... )
