Raleigh Sci Fi convention this weekend
Didn't know until tonight, but there's a sci fi convention in downtown Raleigh this weekend. Reconstruction runs Th - Sun.
How did I find out? I met my other separated at birth twin, Sean Korb's uncle Lauren (sp?). He's showing art there. Meeting him was SO COOL! He likes Vernor Vinge, reads constantly, likes Jane Austen, and Georgette Heyer! I have ( Read more... ) -
Wouldn't be hard to explain - if I only had a brain
I want my brain back, actually. Friendly neighbor here (awesome mom of two, xtian in the good way, rides her own motorcycle) posted to facebook that a friend of hers lost their 2yo son. To drowning. I understand 'triggery' now. Every time I look at Ash I tear up and tense up ( Read more... ) -
So beautiful
We'll be at Monsters vs Aliens tonight, with Ash - 9pm at the Art Museum. Ash will probably fall asleep halfway through, but we like the movie anyway... -

Just watched the last couple episodes of So You Think You Can Dance, season 6. Much lack of shirt. Greatly appreciated.
Incredible dancing. Just incredible. Just... wow.
And season 7 started last night. I am going to have to keep up with it better. -
Falling on my head like a new emotion
Ok, so maybe not 9 - 11am.
If the rain stops, we might try, but whew, it's dark out right now. -
I can't stop myself it's a new religion
We've been to the 'got to be NC fest' both Friday and Saturday. It's like a mini-state fair. Ash LOVES the action and crowds - he runs to see what's there. I think we'll be back again today, and this time I might cave for the $20 band that gives unlimited rides. There's very little he can ride, but there is a merry-go-round, and he loves the merry- ( Read more... )
