B'bye LJ
I know I haven't been active on LJ for a really long time, but I have an announcement to make:
LiveJournal's new Terms of Service are complete bullshit, so I will be deleting this account. All of my content has been moved over to Dreamwidth, where you will find me under the name syzygy_dw.
See you there, hopefully! -
(Untitled)
I didn't post about this before, because it's big and complicated, and any words I typed seemed small and meaningless.
Back in April, my friend Andre died.
He was John's friend, really-- they met on the first day of university, way, way back in the early 90s. John has very few stories of his school days that don't somehow involve Andre. Sparky and ( Read more... ) -
Gally, sort of.
In lieu of a full-on post about Gallifrey 22, please accept this link to my Flickr page.
In short, Gally did not fail to impress again this year. The guests were amazing, the cosplayers outdid themselves, I nearly bought out the dealers' room (I managed to get everything in my suitcase, too!), and I had a lot of fun hanging out with nonelvis , prof_pangaea , iko , and my ( Read more... ) -
It's almost GALLY TIEM!!!
I leave for Gallifrey One in LA early Thursday morning, which puts me in LA at about 1:00pm. I am super excited, especially since I am so tired of snow and ice and cold. I know it's supposed to be rainy and cool in LA this weekend, but that's tropical compared to the weather here.
I can't wait to get there. I had a really great time last year, and ( Read more... ) -
Resolutions
Ah, New Year's Day. You are so much better than New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve was spent in a weird funk, wherein I did not feel like doing anything and had to rally my strength to even go out for dinner with friends. As it is, I left before midnight, pleading general malaise. I was in bed just as 2011 was being rung in.
But New Year's Day, well, ( Read more... ) -
Ten Years (Or, A Christmas Miracle)
This time ten years ago, I was on a plane.
I was flying from Edmonton to Montreal, via Chicago. I had two huge suitcases and a backpack containing all the stuff I hadn't had put in storage with a moving company, or pre-shipped to my best friend, whose back room I would be moving into that night. I had had a miserable three years in Edmonton. I had ( Read more... ) -
Sundries
I have been sort of absent from the computer for a while-- not just LJ or Dreamwidth, but Tumblr and FaceBook, too. I have basically been on Twitter, and that's mainly because Twitter and the iPhone seem to go really well together, while my other on-line haunts don't. I use my phone for pretty much all my internetting these days. Part of it is ( Read more... ) -
Apparently, it makes phone calls, too!
My birthday isn't until mid-September, but I have my birthday present already-- a shiny new32gb iPhone 4! I got it early because, well, one was available. I went to Futureshop to see if there was any way I could have my name put on a list, or at least find out when they expected a shipment, and the salesperson said they had two in stock. So I got ( Read more... ) -
Talk nerdy to me, baby
Upon seeing this video, I said, "Well, that's getting plastered all over the internet."
Thanks to Adam for sending me this. We wear our squaritude proudly.
