tonight i left work early so i could see only lovers left alive, which is a weird, weird movie. but i liked it a lot. it looked fabulous, all dark and cluttered and old and frayed and falling apart. the audience laughed at some things that weren't really funny - altho some of them were kind of darkly funny or kind of ironic - and i wanted ( Read more... )

today was somerville open studios and also free comic book day, so i met one of the women from my writing group and her wife and their kid (who's two and completely adorable) and we went to farwing's studio - i mean her house - to admire her art and say hi, and then another house which turned out to be where drglam lives! (i recognized the stairwell. it's a ( Read more... )

first! for the winconners on the flist, voting for panels is now open! and if you look at some of those panel names and think "what the hell does that mean?" (altho i think most of them are pretty self-explanatory), there are descriptions hereno non-superhero comics panel this year, alas. possibly i should've gotten my shit together and ( Read more... )

happy birthday colls! you're kind of a nutbar but i mean that in the nicest possible way. :D today you should have cake. and maybe some glitter.

dancing boys: *waltz around the room*

it is apparently as cold in canada (specifically southern manitoba) as it is on mars. mostly this means i'm trying to picture the curiosity rover in a winter scarf. ( Read more... )

last night my mom texted me: do you watch dr who? so this morning when i actually saw the text i answered her that yes, sometimes i watch it. and it turns out she and my dad watched the christmas special. mom liked it, dad didn't. my parents are in no way whovians - in fact i'd guess that was the first episode they'd ever seen - and it kind of ( Read more... )

yesterday i went over to my sister's house so we could order chinese and watch the hobbit #1, and then we hustled our asses out to get a good seat for the hobbit #2. i think i might possibly like #1 better. *ducks* but i liked #2! i really like martin freeman's bilbo and i like all the dwarves and i don't mind the addition of tauriel, ( except! )

(thor is on. i must watch. :D altho as hot as chris hemsworth is, he's hotter in the avengers. it's the hair. and, uh, the eyebrows.)

i made an omelette for dinner and it was beautiful until it burned and my kitchen filled up with smoke. i ate it anyway. also a sausage. now i need some chocolate.

thing i forgot to mention about my sister's potluck on saturday: one of her friends brought "pumpkins" that were actually peeled clementines with little pieces of celery stuck in them to simulate pumpkin stems. they were SO CUTE. also, yummy.

yesterday as i was driving to see jaws (not yet knowing it was SOLD OUT), i passed a place called kaju tofu, and i swear it said "kaiju tofu". and i was briefly kind of grossed out. i mean, kaiju tofu would be the electric blue of kaiju flesh and let's be honest, nothing you eat should be that color. except maybe jello. "oh my god that's ( Read more... )

last night i finally got to see iron man 3 with my sister and one of her friends, and it had pretty much everything i wanted, pretty much everything i was expecting - and a couple plot things i wasn't - and i thoroughly enjoyed it. i even really liked the closing credits, and the post-credit scene made me and a bunch of other people still in the ( Read more... )
