This is an utterly perfect little filmed excerpt of Fangirl. Also, I apparently love Mary Kate Wiles because she was Lydia in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.

(Also, I doubt that this thing is still on except for maybe, like, a few of you, but that's all right.)

I am currently obsessed with this song ("A Faded Star" by the Deadly Gentlemen, for those of you who like to know what you're getting into with YouTube links. Also, isn't that an awesome name for a band?). I heard it on the radio and was all, la, la, nice song, nice soothing voice and melody, decent rhythm. Wait, did the banjo and mandolin just ( Read more... )

There are 10 types of people in the world--those who understand hexadecimal, and F the rest.

Base Number Jokes explained. Numberphile does a lot of really fun videos, anyway, so you should watch those. It's not just that I like jokes of the "there are x types of people" form, although that's true. One of my favorites is still the linguistics one ( Read more... )

Yes, my town, along with a bunch of others, is currently asking people to stay inside as they search for a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing; we were planning on doing that anyway, and we're all fine and have been.

Mayor Menino tells Chick-fil-A, "There is no place for discrimination on Boston’s Freedom Trail and no place for your company alongside it." Awesome.

Okay, clearly I fail at actually using this as a journal in which I, you know, say things. But! I feel a need to say: I have now done karaoke for the first time. And I apparently managed to do Advanced Karaoke, which was singing What Do You Do with a BA in English/It Sucks to Be Me from Avenue Q, all seven parts,, all by myself. Because no one else ( Read more... )

Oh, lordy, it's been months (literally <-- not misused) since I've posted. I will now make amends by posting a tasty, easy, good-for-the-season recipe. I've made it twice already, once bringing it to a potluck, where a bunch of other people liked it, too. It goes quite well with melted cheese sandwiches, for a lunch or supper. It takes a while in ( Read more... )

Today's smoothie (not that I've been having them every day, but they're a good meal for when I'm home, have a fair amount of time to eat, and want something with plenty of fruit and calcium) was particularly tasty: banana, peaches (sliced and frozen when they were 98 cents a pound at the produce store last summer), frozen berries from Trader Joe's ( Read more... )
