This picture was taken after the Dickens Faire, while we were waiting for andres_s_p_b to change out of his tux. chinders likes it a lot. She says it captures a lot more "me" than pictures I'm smiling in do. I'm not sure what I think about that.

1. Saturday, I went to the Dickens Fair with andres_s_p_b, chinders, and tenacious_snail. The three of us were planning to go anyway, and then tenacious_snail asked us along to use some discount tickets she had, so that worked out really well. It was neat! There were lots of highly shiny things to look at, so mostly we shopped (Except for tenacious_snail, who split off fairly early to go talk to people she knew ( Read more... )

Something is badly wrong with the line somewhere, so it will be Quite Some Time Yet before I have internet access (or phone, for that matter). Gmail and LJ I can check from work; just now I am borrowing a cup of internet from friends so I have checked my real e-mail, but this will be very rare until things are actually functional. We hope to have ( Read more... )

In my recent post titled "Advice", I criticized "Mr. Blue", Garrison Keillor's pen name for an advice column he used to write at Salon.com, rather harshly. I have just realized (after seeing a link to a recent column) that I was confused; Mr. Keillor was a decent advice-giver -- it's his replacement as the Salon.com advice writer, Cary Tennis, who ( Read more... )

That whiny post about comments has sprouted a good chuck of discussion about the nature of conversation on LiveJournal. If that sounds like an interesting topic, but you saw that post before the interesting bits got attached, you might want to swing back and take a look.
