Gwuh, wow
So Aralis: an excellent and fun event, but I find myself in this deep pit of depressingdom in its wake. Entirely thanks to inadvertently-but-still-very-foolishly-destructive stuff I did in-game-with perhaps a soupçon of unexpected real-life reminders. Ah, well, gotta let it pass, I guess. -
It is sometimes agreeable, this working-remotely thing
I am doing some quality-control work on a super-boring collection of peer review comments. There are small round quailoids about me, and indeed somewhat underfoot; ten feet away, there are some amazing lemonlike canaries and some sort of tiny, red-beaked microsparrows. There is rumored to be a sloth overhead somewhere, though I have yet to see it. -
Dammit, dammit . . .
. . . I am playing the trial version of EVE Online. An extraordinarily obvious mistake, in retrospect ( Read more... ) -

Attention everybody from totally different pop music genres
Please continue to rip off My Bloody Valentine. No, I mean, seriously. Assuming that every bad thing that ever happened to me after 1995 was punishment for not being into all those gorgeous shoegazing bands at the time, I guess the perpetual presence of cool latter-day stuff with MBV DNA is a reward for mending my ways.
Case in point, I guess, ( Read more... ) -
Seamy world of freemiosity; yaguuugghghh; masth masth masth masth masth
Ha! I think I've beaten my previous record-setter, whichever it was, for nonsensical entry titles. At any rate:
- Is anyone playing (the iphone game) We Rule? If so, I would relish Friendship.
- Work has been totally brain-grinding this week. Wugh. Blugh. I have a horrifying amount of reading and such to do, so's I can NPC the Seven Virtues LARP this ( Read more... )

Disjointedness: Prospect Hill Park; stupid LJ scrapbook; Bare-Faced Messiah
- Um, so I guess there's this quite large park in Waltham? These days my route to work takes me right by the entrance, but I'd never gone and checked it out until recently. It's on an impressive hill (the second-highest place in eastern Mass, the Internet tells me, after Blue Hill), so walking around there gives you some dramatic overlooks as well as ( Read more... )

Madrigal: a long story about dust
So OK, at the last Madrigal event, there was maybe going to be yet another bunch of open-mic entertainment. It was somewhat of a relief that it didn't end up happening, but even so . . . well, I came up with a story to tell, and since I didn't tell it I've decided to write it up. It's under the cut! noradannan, you'll see what I meant when I said the desert ( Read more... ) -
Straight-up do-my-job-for-me question
. . . or rather, this is a do-the-job-I-have-been-assigned-that-comes-perilously-close-to-calling-for-specialized-expertise-I-do-not-have-and-anyway-who-the-hell-does question. I strongly doubt anybody reading this has the requisite understanding of copyright law, the GFDL, and works by the federal government-but, uh, read on if you're prepared to ( Read more... )
