Just in from Blockbuster, using the other of the free rental cards my mother ended up giving to me: I rented "Osama" yesterday -- have yet to watch it, though it's one I've been wanting to see -- and I got "Vanity Fair" today. They've been pulling some of their rarely-rented DVDs and putting them up for sale; lo and behold, but "Man of the Century ( Read more... )

I've got the sections of "L'Homme Fatal" laid out (Three parts and an "interlude").

I seem to have finally found a way to get over my body-image problem, namely, fuming over the fact that I'm flat-chested. It dawned on me that the fact that I *am* so under-endowed makes it a hell of a lot easier for me to cross-costume at sci-fi conventions. Currently I'm juggling ideas for Arisia/Boskone this winter (I'm trying to find one ( Read more... )

I'm off to bed in a few minutes, since I have that infamous, *early* dental appointment at nine tomorrow morning (I usually don't get up till ten in the morning, not because I'm lazy: I'm a night owl by nature), so I'll give a run-down of what happened Sunday:
