Excellent company + good food + a Mag 7 episode + two dS season 2 eps + discussion on contraception in the 1870's + an interesting book on the history of the vibrator from emma_in_oz's amazing collection = a good night any way you look at it.

Add to that the vast bounty provided by vegetariansushi and I could barely contain myself.  It's not every day you can eat ( Read more... )

Another Mag 7 viewing last night, this time also attended by sarren's friend ice_ice_vovo, visiting from the other side of the country.

sarren introduced me by saying "This is Zebra, she's forthright and holds grudges."  Lovely, lovely.  Thanks for the resounding endorsement, sarren.  (Though as the person who lent me the Mag 7 episodes, you really can do no wrong in my ( Read more... )

( Highlights: )

cricketk and W's rogaine/navigational exercise today was a resounding success, if less than well attended by the local slasher contingent (sarren and psycho_tabby might have had good excuses, but where were you ascetic_hedony?).  We had 6 hours to visit as many markers as possible over a 35 square kilometre course.  The markers carried points depending on the difficulty of accessing them ( Read more... )

Thanks to those of you who made the trek yesterday to what was presumably the inaugural slashers gathering in my town! It made me very happy to see my house being put to such good use. Life is good when you're watching songvids with like-minded friends in your living room, after months of sanding and painting and waiting for carpets and blinds ( Read more... )
