Tonight was Barnes & Noble's Harry Potter Magical Holiday Ball. I went-because of course I was going to go-got all dressed up and wandered around a bit. I mingled with other nerds in Harry Potter garb and watched (mostly indulgently) as small children ran around waving wands. I ended up not staying for the full event, whatever that might have ( Read more... )

• I'm officially a Colorado state resident. (Well, ok, maybe not officially. I haven't gotten a new DL yet, but I did send in my voter registration yesterday.) Shockingly, it's not much different from New Mexico? There's a lot of Broncos merch everywhere, which is hilarious and terrifying. As I keep being told, I am deep, deep in the heart of ( Read more... )

• There is just today, tomorrow, and Friday left. On Saturday we'll be packing up the cars and then driving away. I'm done with work, which means I have the next few weeks off, since my new gig won't start until mid-October. It's sort of nice to have that time, but also sort of stressful-in that I don't have any sort of income for these next few ( Read more... )

Obviously this whole, "posting here more often or at all, really" thing is going to take a little while to get back into the swing of, so posts will likely be somewhat sporadic. Obviously I'd love to post once a week, but... I'll forget. I know I will. But I'm trying, and I have a plan. (More on that in a bit ( Read more... )

• It's been a little over two years since I last wrote. Which means there's quite a lot to catch up on here... but I think I'm just going to skip over that.

Still, I'm feeling the need for a more long- ( Read more... )

When last we saw our intrepid heroine... on June 18th wtf, self, you were supposed to be getting better at this...• I changed jobs. The part time gig was good and all, but now I have a full time gig that I like and I like the people I work with and the people seem to like me too. It's better all around, not to mention the fact that I will likely be ( Read more... )

Aw yis, keeping to a vague posting schedule. Go me ( Read more... )

Whoops. I forgot to post in the first week of June. Darn ( Read more... )

• So. That job that I hadn't exactly applied for but was probably qualified for anyway? I got it. I am employed, at least part time. It's nothing fancy, nothing I'm actually using my degree at all for-but that's what I wanted, so I'm satisfied with that-I'm just a tiny bit player in a massive conglomerate chain store. (Although I did proofread an ( Read more... )
