Some people do memes; I do polls. In this particular case, I really do want to find out what you all think about a number of different things. I'm making some plans for the future, and people's opinions will make a difference in what I do. Or, with some of these, I'm just nosy, or being weird. I apologize for the length in advance...and each of ( Read more... )

Croaked my way through rehearsal last night, dropping relatively few lines, at least due to forgetting them. Some got dropped because they weren't going to get out without a quick drink of water. Came home from that after a quick meal at the Silver Diner (kids were whiny; I don't blame them, it was late) and drank something other than water, ( Read more... )

Another win at the trivia night last night (yea verily, go us!) has left me with a number of interesting bheers to try out; I will likely post about them as I go through them ( Read more... )

Congrats to the Steelers (and lli and kdiddy...and glitteropal, who gets to show off her new Steelers garb as part of the victory celebration tomorrow!) We half-watched the game while hanging out with papertigers and her sweetie. Much to her relief, we have approved of the sweetie, though I did get the idea that efbq's question of "So, what are your intentions towards our daughter ( Read more... )

• kdiddy can sympathize, but I have this sore on my lip that is just driving me nuts.
  
  
• ratravarman and I did the trivia night tonight at Frisco (team name: Wallace & Gromit) - and we kRuShEd. Crowning moment: "...and the last category will be...flags." I did try not to, but I did laugh out loud. "That ball is back...waaaaay back...and it's outta here!" We ended ( Read more... )

First and foremost...Happy Birthday, kinky_librarian! Rowr, an' that.

Yesterday was the church's peace committee meeting (too early for me; attended by efbq, then church, then the church's annual business meeting, then the Howard County GP meeting, then home for a bit where I called and apologized to papertigers for not being there to approve of her gf, then out to Frisco ( ( Read more... )

For some reason I'm up at this hour (damn fine cup of coffee), despite being stuck at home and having had a night out last night - dinner at Bangkok Delight, which I have previously mentioned serves really, really, really good Thai, followed by drinks and darts at the Ale House, where there was a...well, "band" might be a bit generous. A guy with ( Read more... )

Indeed, thanks to sleeping off a hangover this morning (thank you, my love), my schedule is mixed up enough that I'm up at this hour having a bite. I will say that Wild Goose's Nut Brown Ale is fantastic, the equal of many more expensive English browns, and several ended up in my gullet at werewulf's party last night. It was a lovely and festive time, ( Read more... )

Human beings (with the exception of Perry Como) shouldn't be this relaxed...however, Dogfish Head Brewery out of the great state of Delaware makes a damned fine pale, and it's got me in a mood to chill.

I spent this evening talking to aramintamd about her experiences in the start-up business world. The contract that I've accepted puts me in good stead to ( Read more... )

Did nothing of particular consequence this weekend, which was oh, such a good feeling, given the amount of runaround I'd been subjected to during the week. Did manage to drive off to the Bay to end up talking politics (and getting a few things resolved) with robb_black at a redneck dive bar on Saturday night; Sunday night involved watching Samurai Champloo ( Read more... )
