So the annual Boston Sci-Fi movie marathon is happening in just a few days and I haven't lifted a finger. Neither doctor_atomic nor dictator555 are able to join me this year. One or the other has been my unfailing stay-awake-through-the-whole-damn-thing companion since I started going, six years ago ( Read more... )

Just napped for a couple of hours, after the thon. I am still a complete mess. I don't think I'll do anything else today other than have dinner (I'm thinkin salad) and watch TV.

It was a blast and lots of people shared a row with me, including doctor_atomic, daerr, dictator555, kyroraz, cthulhia, and J-who-has-no-LJ. Of this group only the doctor and I stayed without break for the whole 24 ( Read more... )

Today's been a stomachache day, the first since the really bad one that killed my museum date. Wasn't stupid this time: drank no coffee (but lots of tea) and have been taking it easy, so it's been all right ( Read more... )

I mail-ordered Guitar Hero 2 and a second guitar controller from Amazon. They're both en route. Very nice ( Read more... )

Actually it's like practice for the thon. HA HA BECAUSE SF fans smell bad

A couple of weeks ago I bunch of us tried to see The Prestige at the Boston Common. To our dismay classicaljunkie literally bought the last ticket, and this was very confusing because the movie had opened like two or three weeks prior to that. Did the cinema it was in have like ten seats? I don't know. We all went home and played Settlers instead. The normal kind ( Read more... )

Tix for the 2007 Boston SF Film Festival are on sale for $51. I missed the early-bird $44 window already; whatev.

It's returning to the Somerville Theater this year! I can once again sneak out to use my own bathroom! Yay!

I know that my long-time thon buddy doctor_atomic is coming, after missing last year's, and I hope to talk dictator555 into joining me again. I'm ( Read more... )
