Which is why it is awesome that wjukknibs, who I'd planned to e-mail before bed, texted me to make plans to see Spaceballs at the Arclight on my birthday, ( Read more... )

I spent some time today tagging old entries, getting up to today's date seven years ago.

If you haven't noticed, I have a tag called "meta:declassified, which I use for posts which used to be filtered but now are open for general reading. After seven years, there are a lot of things that don't need to be so close to the vest. I've also been ( Read more... )

One of the most popular after-hours games at con this year was "Exquisite Fruit," a game received by tmcay in a dream, as befits any pastime of the surrealist vein.

When a friend of mine sent a picture of her cat to me and some other coworkers, extolling the virtues in the cat's taste in literature.

It's been a pretty strange few weeks, and I have not posted anything.

• Planet of the Apes looks amazingly beautiful on the big screen.
• Escape from the Planet of the Apes looks . . . pretty much the same on the big screen.
