When I was in junior high, and maybe early high school, I spent most of my time - that wasn't spent on school work - reading, or really devouring, the books in the Adult Fantasy Paperback section of my local library. I read pretty well constantly - including in the hallways of my school as I walked between classes. I probably read nearly every ( Read more... ) -
Retrofuturism
Hokay, So.
See, I'm planning a wedding, right? A not overwhelmingly theme-y, but still themed wedding. With the theme of RetroFuturism (see here, here, and hereHowever... I have to admit I'm kinda stumped for ideas. I just can't quite envision what the wedding of the retro-future would look like. I suspect my wedding gown would have to be a ( Read more... ) -
WCBE
The reason I donate to public radio isn't for the recognition, its for the fact that I listen pretty much exclusively to WCBE anymore. Still, it was pretty darn cool to hear Mike Foley read my name on air this morning as a contributor ( Read more... ) -

(Untitled)
Been feeling... really meh lately. After... what, almost 3 years? of being hermit-ish and really only seeing Christoff and co-workers with any regularity, I'm starting to feel... I dunno, lonely, I guess. Of course, it may really just be the Seasonal Affective Disorder that my doctor diagnosed me with last winter coming back. Having SAD explains ( Read more... ) -
Happy New Year
I hope every one had a happy New Year! Also, thank you all for your congratulations on our engagement!
Christoff and I spent a quiet New Year's Eve at home. He read a book, and I spent most of the evening on the phone with HP technical support. =P
Pretty much since the beginning of December its been one thing after another with my laptop. Luckily ( Read more... ) -
Its Official
Arg... Christmas snuck up on me this year. I didn't get cards out (and don't have addresses for people anyway... which seems endemic around here) and didn't even put up our tree.

Yay for Post!
Two packages arrived for me at work today! The yarn for my HSKS3 pal, and the sweater for my Halloween party!
The sweater is not near as nice as the one I could have knit for myself, if not for the yarn-theft. The non-stolen package of sweater yarn arrived yesterday - but the party is Saturday, and I don't think I could get it done even if I did ( Read more... )
