Wow, I just settled in to make my yearly summary/reminiscence post and started thinking over the events of this year. Hell, the events of last year. I never made my 2008 retrospective post, so I guess I'll gloss over most of that and just jump into 2009.

( A not-so-brief summary of 2009. )

Yes, we got snow on Christmas. Dallas, TX actually had a white Christmas. How cool is that? :-D ( Read more... )

Today's just... weird. I can't figure out why, I just feel off somehow. As though I'm forgetting something important or not doing something I meant to do. Work is going fairly normally, school is out 'til the fifth. Tonight is functionally Christmas eve and probably the horror remix show at SMG, tomorrow is working and...

Yay, science ( Read more... )

I logged back into Kingdom of Loathing and started playing my characters again today for the first time in a few months. I'd forgotten how fun and light-hearted the game is, and how much I enjoy watching clan and radio chatter while I play, even though I was hesitant to jump back into clan chat until I had something interesting to say ( Read more... )

Gods, but I do love the music video for "Before He Cheats." The ending bit with glass and sparks flying out as bits and pieces explode around her rage is absolutely fantastic ( Read more... )

Happy Bonfire Night! We just had our annual celebration, though instead of real fireworks and bonfires, we used simulated ones on the telly. In V for Vendetta, of course, but it was a good evening. Eggies in a basket and cherry soda made for a pleasant dinner experience, and hanging with friends always makes a worthwhile evening ( Read more... )
