It is almost Thanksgiving, which has never been my favorite holiday. Probably because it's always involved going to my aunt's house and eating in her depressing basement amongst my annoying second cousins. I have taken various measures over the years to avoid going, including scheduling trips to Hawaii, Seattle, and Tahoe. This year, thankfully, my ( Read more... )

I'm a little late in getting these posted, but here are pics from my trip to Washington D.C. and the Rally for Sanity (and/or Fear). Warning: there are a TON of pics.

( DC! Rally! )

I've got a case of the blahs lately, but I'm hoping it won't last long. Fall is in the air, there is new TV to watch, and my hair is looking really awesome lately, so those should lift my spirits. :) Anyway, things:

* Still unemployed. Still hating it. Ugh.

* I have undertaken a massive project to organize, categorize, and tag all my fonts so that I ( Read more... )

Democracy on LJ? Who knew? LJ finally responded to the shit ton of DNW comments about the FB/Twitter linking thing, and have asked those of us with opinions to vote in this poll.

First world problems are HARD.

So I was trolling around LJ, following links about Adam Lambert* and came across the perfect description of why I have never watched American Idol:

American Idol freaks me out because the setup consists of ambitious, talented, dreamy-eyed people constructing performances (in a live arena, no less), only to have those performances deconstructed in ( Read more... )

I finally have my pictures from Alaska uploaded! You can check them out here if you're so inclined.

Is anyone else watching The Choir on BBC? Or if you're British, have you seen it? They're showing it in the States right now (I think it originally aired in 2006) and it's so much fun. It's about a choirmaster, Gareth, who goes to schools and creates ( Read more... )

I am feeling extremely un-posty, blah blah blah. I do have things to say, just no motivation to post about them. I'll make a list, which for some reason I find to be an easier format to write in. (Possibly because I'm lazy and it spares me transitions.)

* I went to Alaska! On a cruise! I am working on sorting through my pics and getting the good ( Read more... )

So, my FL has been saying this all day, but ALEX MOTHERFUCKING WONG, people. Wow. I had no idea he'd be my favorite this season. I actually thought I'd like Billy Bell more, but he's falling kind of flat for me. And I hate to say this but they should really just get rid of the rest of the girls and let the guys dance. Every time one of the girls ( Read more... )

Oh, Glee. Let me count the ways I love you and loved your season finale. I am with lilysaid on this front as well: what I maybe love most is all the crying, especially the men. They sure did deliver last night, didn't they? Awesome. Now I just want a massive Puck meltdown and I'll be completely satisfied ( Read more... )

I just re-did the layout of my LJ for the first time in YEARS. I remember when I used to change my layout every few months! I think I like the new layout, but it's hard to say. I'm always weirded out by them at first until I get used to it.

I don't normally follow or care about fandom wank, but today's wank is pretty spectacular. I think the main ( Read more... )
