You totally know what I did at Comic-Con. But you want details, pictures! Well, five of you do.

( Getting to Comic-Con )

Last Thursday, I was idly perusing the San Francisco East Bay Theatre & Auditions page on Facebook when I came across auditions for Picasso at the Lapin Agile, the Steve Martin play. I looked at the character descriptions, and there were several that seemed to fit me. It was the first fall show I was interested in whose run dates didn't conflict ( Read more... )

I will have epic posts with pictures next month, but I'm not even done writing down notes to refresh my mind grapes! I'm sure you all want to know how totally awesome Comic-Con was, though, so here goes. Even though I will totally be ruining any suspense and surprise in the longer story, as told.

I totally met taraljc and heard her unplaceable accent. We ( Read more... )

Last year, I told Sandeep Parikh I would watch The Legend of Neil, so before I see him this year, I figured I would actually catch up on his webseries. Which is about-I kid you not, it is well described in the theme song-a guy who, while drunkenly playing The Legend of Zelda, masturbates to the fairy and asphyxiates himself with the controller and ( Read more... )

So I'm sorry to have gotten people's hopes up, but I'm fairly certain that's going nowhere, at least right now, given that she's in the middle of a divorce and isn't really looking to date anyone at the moment, according to a mutual friend. She's just a nice girl, and her statements are meaningless. To prove this to myself, I deleted a couple saved ( Read more... )

My Saturday plans were to include a sly Netflix gambit of watching a movie and returning it the same day, but the last pick-up was at 2:30, and my mail did not arrive in time! So instead I went to the comic book store and dropped off postcards for the SF Olympians Festival and geeked out about Justice League. Then I visited Jess and Colin and met ( Read more... )

Today we had a departmental off-site, and we all had to answer the question "Who inspires you, and why?" Now, I am a very uninspired person, so it was difficult for me to come up with someone. All I knew was that I was not going to name a family member, which is what 61% of the 88 people did (yes, I counted ( Read more... )

Isn't this around the time you have one of your crazy medical writing conferences?

Yeah, it was a couple weeks ago! You probably didn't even notice I was gone for a few days.

I always notice. I miss you.

Thanks.

I was being sarcastic, idiot. I was getting trashed with Raoul the whole fucking time.

I knew you two knew each other. So do you want ( Read more... )

After a long, eventful day, it was time to return home. The first empty seat on BART happened to be by a cute girl, so I took it and began reading Feed.

We sat in silence until she said, "Oh, you're reading Feed!" Wait, what, how did she know about Feed? A friend of hers had read it and been raving about it. I pointed to the author and said, "She' ( Read more... )

Last night I finished Changeless, by Gail Carriger, the sequel to Soulless, which I enjoyed. I liked this book even more, really. Since it's the second book, we can get right into the actual plot without spending time explaining all the worldbuilding, so there's much more of a sense of purpose than in Soulless, which meandered about for hundreds of ( Read more... )
