Snowy Progression
As you are probably aware from the postings of other Boston-area LJers, we had a bit of snow yesterday and overnight into today. We actually achieved OFFICIAL blizzard status late last night (defined as "3+ hours of sustained 35 mph winds and 1/4 mile visibility") which, as the Weather Channel people never ceased telling us, is the first time ( Read more... ) -
2012 - the year in photos
As promised, I selected just 24 photos to represent the year, and hit every month except for April and September, I think. Click any to embiggen at Flickr.
Let's see if I can get one of those new-fangled LJ Collapse things to work...
( I think I got it... oh it's just the old LJ Cut... ) -
Happy New Year!
It's a year in review!
Do you know how long it's been since I posted? Wow. I also see that I failed to post last year, which would be bad, in that I usually forget what I did for New Years from year to year. Except I can remember that last year I went t my_tallest's party so I could meet his then-new boyfriend, and that was fun ( Read more... ) -

Outdoorsy
Thanks to all for the birthday wishes yesterday. :) We actually had gorgeous weather here, so I took the opportunity to do something I've been meaning to do for a while, which was get out kayaking again. It surprises me to realize that I probably hadn't been out for 2 years, and as soon as I got back out on the water, I remembered how much I just ( Read more... ) -
Still one of the best theme songs of all time...
So there I was, on the bus home tonight, and I really don't even know what I was thinking of that led me to get the theme to the old Spider-Man cartoon stuck in my head. I'm sure there was a train of thought that led to it. I don't think that would have come out of absolutely nowhere. But there I was, singing the theme song (on the inside) and ( Read more... ) -
A grab-bag of photos...
Last weekend I went and visited my Mom, only two months after seeing her at Xmas. The biggest issue here is that it's a long drive and I get SO BORED with all of the possible routes, which I have done multiple times a year for years and years. SO BORED. I have gotten to the point where I will plot a route that is out of my way and on slower ( Read more... ) -
woooooo!
This is even more exciting right now, given that we've been working our way through select Old Who eps for the past several months. (We are in the middle of Tom Baker right now.)
Also, in a different WOOOOO category, go here to see several short scenes from the upcoming Avatar: The Legend of Korra: tv-not-sgperfect casting is perfect...
(It's sad that my first thought was to post this to LJ and then my second thought was, "but will anyone get to see it?" Poor LJ. Poor Russians. I'm feeling for them.)
The funny thing about these films is that while I like RDJ's Holmes okay, for me, it's all about the best Watson ever put on film ( Read more... )It was inevitable...
That I would create a saw-whet owl pendant, that is. Because I've looked and looked, but couldn't really find one that I liked that captured the cuteness of their little faces. I am not saying that this does it perfectly either (it may be a mistake to post this with this icon, thus providing the obvious side by side comparison), but it's not a ( Read more... )
