A request for advice: I *still* have my Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker on my car's back window; it's been my version of "Don't blame me!" for the past four years. :) Now it's cracked and peeling and damn near impossible to get off. I finally ordered a Women for Obama sticker. Any suggestions of how the hell ( Read more... )

For the heck of it, I've made a set of wallpapers based on the BSG promo pics. Nothing special -- just me playing with desaturation and gradients -- but I thought I'd share 'em anyway. :) All are available in both 1024x768 and 1280x800, since I have such a hard time finding widescreen backgrounds. Pics are courtesy of drewcypher, and I've got Kara/Lee, ( Read more... )

First up, a few fandomish links:

-- AfterEllen has an interesting interview with Tricia Helfer and Michael Taylor about the Gina storyline in "Razor". The reader comments at the end are also worth a read.

-- Whitney from PopCandy interviews Jane Espenson about BSG, the Jossverse, the strike, and her general awesomeness.

-- NY Mag wonders which ( Read more... )

To comfort me for not taking him trick-or-treating last week, my nephew sent me a Starbucks giftcard! (Okay, my sister sent it, because my nephew is eight months old.) This plus our chilly weather meant that I was obligated to do a coffee run tonight. I got my usual pumpkin spice latte with 2%, because it is all kinds of wonderful. I noticed ( Read more... )

So, how did I spend my day off? Optometrist. Lucky me. My left eye has been blurry and irritated for the past few days, so I finally dragged myself to the optometrist... which is not covered by my insurance. A visit to the regular doctor would've been cheaper, but they couldn't see me until the end of the week. Hmph. The verdict? Medicated ( ( Read more... )

Are you tired of reruns and looking for something to watch Wednesday night? How about a new episode of Friday Night Lights on NBC at 8pm? Pretty please?

Also, I watched the last three episodes of Torchwood today. ( A few comments. )

Linkspam time! I didn't pay much attention to Jennifer Hudson on Idol, but her Cinderella story has me kinda adoring her. :) PopWatch has several links to YouTube performances.

Salon names S. R. Sidarth their Person of the Year. He's the student who videotaped George Allen calling him a "macaca". I'm uncomfortable making a value judgment about ( Read more... )

Feeling better now -- much love to everyone who cheered me up earlier! Not everyone is feeling better, though. My seven-months-pregnant sister just called me mid-Scrubs, with terror building in her heart. "My husband thinks that Dr. Cox is a good role model for him as the father of our future child! Oh no!" (I also immediately told her, "You ( Read more... )

1. My classes continue to work on expository reading, this time focusing on how to determine which information is relevant to a task. Today I gave them a list of situations (going to a movie, cooking dinner for your family, etc...) and asked them to list five things they would need to know before beginning the task. One group received the prompt ( Read more... )

Another Sunday night. Very little to report, and I haven't even found many fun links to share. On the plus side, I finally finished the sweater I've been knitting for two months! Check it out! ( More blather about knitting. )
