I'm going to Maine this weekend, because... uh... because.... well my friend Brendan came up with this idea a couple months ago. No reason beyond the fact that we've never been there. Apparently the Lobster Festival is going on this weekend. I guess that'll be cool?

So a couple months back I realized that with a few weddings going on this summer I would need to break down and buy a new suit. I did some half-hearted shopping at various places and didn't really like the choices on hand. staxsoulkid suggested Bloomingdales, which, for seemingly obvious reasons I avoided. Until it was too late and I found myself at the big ( Read more... )

So I got a Grand Jury summons a couple months ago, I delayed it the first time because it would overlap with Christmas, and at the time I assumed that I would be able to complete my trip to Denver (somehow I failed to predict the 3' of snow the day of my departure). So I had it delayed until the random date of January 29th. I follow the ( Read more... )

I'm 30.

Now I finally understand thirtysomething!

it's boring to complain about what everyone else is also going through, but can I just point out that it's 1:30 am and the humidity index puts the current temp at 95. It's freakin' 95 at 1:30!

Just got back from a week in the ol' hometown.

A notice to all of you who own iSight iMacs (G5 or Intel). Never, ever, undertake a hard drive (or optical drive) replacement yourself. I've taken apart every iteration of the iMac, most Powerbooks, the Cube, and all the PowerMacs case types. Never, ever, has one been as so poorly conducive to upgrading. Ironically the original G5 iMac was by far ( Read more... )

Hmm... so that was one impressive lightning storm here tonight. I watched the pretty lightning for awhile, went back to the hockey match. It didn't occur to me that those thunder claps sounded REALLY close. Until something *popped*. And then 15 seconds later something at the other end of the house *popped*. I hurriedly started turning off my ( Read more... )

I ended up at a Queercore show last night. Some band Team Dresch, who I guess are big in that world. I'd never heard of them, but a friend wanted me to go and it was just a couple blocks from my house, so hey why not? I ran into a couple people there, including frangrit who I haven't seen in over two years! It was actually pretty fun. Right before TD ( Read more... )

So, not that anyone but me cares, but apparently early next year a new drug, Promel, will be released. And what pray-tell does Promel purport to solve? Grey hair! Take that evil aging genes! I can have dark hair into my 80s now! Well, okay, that'd be weird. I can at least stave off full grayness until I find someone to date. Which may take until I' ( Read more... )
