So I was in the same hotel as IndyFurCon but I can't especially say I was at the con... I spent nearly the entire thing too sick to do anything. The first day I was so exhausted I just slept instead of going to artist alley, and when I woke up we had a little drinking party, which promptly led to me throwing up all night: I didn't drink enough to ( Read more... )

So... I'm graduating on Saturday. With my Masters in English Literature. It's been... what, five years since I started it? Long break in the middle. But now it's done. Everything's been approved and sent through. Only a bureaucratic fuck up could stand in the way now ( Read more... )

I'll have to explain this a little bit before I get into it. See, there's the author I've been hard core into since highschool (like, a decade ago) named John Varley. He's a scifi author that I feel is just astounding, especially if you're interested in gender issues. He's not that well known anymore, but back in the day (70's, 80's) he was a ( Read more... )

Toshiba model: pfafgu-05f01d

Might be psafgu-05f01d, going by my searches. Hard to understand him over the phone. And he's a bit of an idiot.

I didn't even realize it was April Fools day. Nothing got me, I just didn't think about it. I was gone all day and got back to the computer tonight and here people are talking about it. So nothing tricked me, either, I guess ( Read more... )

Well, I'm about to fly out to the PCA/ACA conference in St. Loius. Going to present my totally shitty paper on zombies and race. Everyone tells me everyone's paper's suck, though, even their own so hey... maybe mine only sucks to a normal degree. I'll try to post something from the conference if I'm ever sober ( Read more... )

So we have this little gaming con up here, at one of the nearby universities, called Bashcon. I'm usually not too excited about it because, other than the small dealer's room, there's not much there for me. The one time I tried to play a game there I hated it and we tried, once, to do a Reaper's miniatures painting thing but they never showed up ( Read more... )

Yeah, so everyone seems to be talking about the Star Wars Christmas special lately, and Snake's never seen it, so I tried to explain it to him... and he's just going to have to watch it because my explanations are just getting surreal. The best I can come up with is to say it's like someone wrote bad fanfiction of bad fanfiction. Like, they're in ( Read more... )

Some laws are really stupid. Some laws are based on logic so backward and ridiculous that the only possible response is screaming. When you see the Goldberg-machine results of these laws finally collapsing into the real world the fury increases exponentially. I imagine someone is going to think I'm stupid for this, but ( Read more... )

... but not fabricated. I'm definitely a little bit dead now ( Read more... )
