(Untitled)
I spent a good chunk of the weekend paying my travel tax: Not quite sick, but zero real energy to do stuff. Probably some lingering fun from my sinus infection that came two trips ago and never really went away ( Read more... ) -
Friend list cleanup
I've been inactive on LJ for quite some time, mostly having moved my trite stuff to facebook in lieu of having a real blog. I've still followed a number of people on LJ via RSS feed ( Read more... ) -

People still read this thing?
Facebook continues to eat most of my actual posts, trivial as they are ( Read more... ) -
Catch-up post
A lot of the random noise from Livejournal over the previous few months had caused various forms of exoduses. Many went over to Dreamwidth. Like a lot of others, I added a facebook account and have been a lot chattier over there. I've been busy enough to not have a lot of time to write the more substantial journal-style entries I like LJ for ( Read more... ) -

In this case, it was the wedding of David and Amanda. As is also very typical for such events, half the time you had to think to call David by his given name rather than ( Read more... ) -
Mediaeval Baebes, Illumination
I've been a fan of the Mediaeval Baebes for quite some time now. I had originally heard them coming from a portable stereo (what we once called a boombox) at a Pennsic probably around 1999. I finally remembered enough of their information courtesy of Tomak talking about Delirium, one of the other gigs of some of the leads, to dig up their name ( Read more... ) -
Random bits of update
Today is the fourth day of a long weekend. We originally had a three day long weekend but I decided to take today off as well and catch up on some other random stuff that can only be done during the work week. I've definitely been appreciating the time off. Peter is off to Houston visiting family. Noodle has been absolutely crazy every morning ( Read more... )
