I've Decided to Attend...
After seeing numerous discount offers, I decided to go to Portland Comic-Con, to see what it's like. I'll be going on Sunday, Jan 26th; anyone else attending that day? Perhaps I'll see you there... -
Sunday Morning
Sunday Morning Highlights: Thrihyrne and I went for breakfast at Zell's, assembled an IKEA dresser and I showed her how to do SELECTs in SQL. Life doesn't get much better. -
Cautiously Optimistic (Yet Again)
So, we’re trying the Virgin Diet. No, it’s not what you’re thinking (a cannibalistic consumption of the pre-sexually-active, right?), it’s eating only foods with the word "virgin" in the name, mainly virgin olive oil and virgin wool (Hahahahaha! No, it’s not! That would be gross! ). Okay, for reals: It’s by by J. J. Virgin (hence the name) and is ( Read more... ) -
Saturday was GREAT!
Since Thrihyrne and I share only one day each week when neither of us works, our Saturdays tend to be our Day of Rest. When I mentally list the things we did yesterday the individual items don’t seem extraordinary, but the day certainly was. We slept in, had coffee-and-Internet, went grocery shopping, made tacos, watched an episode of “Elementary,” and ( Read more... ) -
Tonight, I Am Unemployed
Today I submitted my final timecard to the Consulting Company.
Tomorrow I will go to my new job, which is in the same building, at same desk. On the same project. After several inquiries, much discussion and a grueling application/interview/offer/confirmation process, I have converted to being an employee of my erstwhile client, Big Happy Fun ( Read more... ) -
It's the Arts!
On Friday, thrihyrne and I went with grrlpup and sanguinity to see “One Man Star Wars Trilogy” at the Aladdin.
If you haven't seen it, the show is pretty much what it says on the tin. One man (actor Charles Ross) acts out three Star Wars movies (SW ep 4- A New Hope through SW ep 6 - The Return of the Jedi) in about 75 minutes. He doesn't tell the story the way one would ( Read more... ) -

So, Stumptown is happening right now, and I'm not there.
I do have mixed feelings. I put in an application last year, and I got wait-listed. Since I'd hardly produced any comics for a year, it's not as if I can really complain. But, you know. I was still disappointed.
So now the show is happening, and I'm having a great weekend with Thrihyrne instead ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Not to boast, but my life is being pretty awesome.
Tonight is the final night of Vacation: thrihyrne and I went to Harrisonburg, Virgina to sort through and bring home (or dispose of) all of her stuff that had been stored at her mother's house for the past several years. While this might seem odious, we had a great time ( Read more... ) -
Being As Celebratory As I Can...
On the day before Christmas Eve while having a playdate with Hz, I threw my back out ( Read more... ) -
Thanksgiving Announcement
So, I'm moving out of my sister's basement.
It's been a good six years. There is much I enjoy about living with drarwenchicken and BILJ, and especially Hz, but it's time for me to strike out on my own. Well, not totally on my own, because I will be moving into a new-to-us apartment with thrihyrne! Well, not totally new, as it's in the same apartment complex where I ( Read more... )
