So I decided that I wanted to go see Blazing Saddles in its short-term theatrical re-release (because seeing comedies on a big screen in a theater full of other people also laughing their asses off is almost always better) and, figuring the tickets at $5 would sell out quickly, scooped up 4 of them on Fandango for Saturday night at 7:30 at the AMC ( Read more... )

Apparently not everyone I know is on FB...that, or getting older is indeed turning my brain into mush, because someone asked me what I was planning to do for my birthday this year, as he recalled it was this week. Oops ( Read more... )

1. So my birthday is next Wednesday the 15th, and I'm trying to decide what to do for it (read: where to go for dinner). I have to admit that Baconpalooza at Olde Magoun's is rather tempting, and they do have some vegetarian options on the menu as well, but would people actually be willing to go there? Has anyone else actually been there and have ( Read more... )

It's been too long since I posted here; it's not that things haven't happened, but that I didn't necessarily want to bore people with the details/didn't have the energy to deal with things between work/school/a nasty case of the flu (apparently the Influenza B is taking 6+ weeks to get over). Not to mention that awful things have been happening to ( Read more... )

(Note: one of my courses this semester is all about tech, so hopefully by May I'll be much better at doing all this stuff myself; unfortunately, right now I still need help ( Read more... )

The good news: my knee is slowly coming along and healing; I'm getting PT for it now, which also seems to be helping, and while I suspect I may still be using a cane at Arisia (as much as anything to remind people I'm not back to 100% yet), it's a hell of an improvement from a month ago. (Don't ever fall down the stairs on a older Green Line train ( Read more... )

Since my last temp job ended last Wednesday, and next week is the earliest I'll be working again, I figured I could spend most of this week at Simmons, in the library/tech lab, working on one last assignment and a end-of-semester project w/3 other people. Went down today, met w/a couple of people I don't usually get to see, was having a pretty ( Read more... )

Apparently tasty brown cheese burns really, really well, who knew?In other news, the latest temp job ended Friday (apparently they found somebody they wanted to hire that they didn't have to pay for), and I'm still waiting to hear back on a job I interviewed for a week ago; the woman I met with (department head) said she'd let me know last Friday, ( Read more... )

So I'm feeling the need to be somewhat social this weekend...anyone feel like getting together this evening? I don't know that I'm so much out for going out per se as I am just hanging out w/people in a friendly, low-key kind of way; I can go somewhere else, or you can come over here and maybe I'll bake something. Let me know if you're interested ( Read more... )
