I had a few odd dreams last night all linked together with reference to lots of LJ friends from college.  It started out as a bus trip with other "students" to a science fair with mistergone as a fellow participant and it was pretty stressful for a dream (you know, the kind where you didn't do the homework or study for the test)  During the fair the entire ( Read more... )

With Players Handbook II coming out this week, I would be excited to actually play D&D.  Currently I am running an online game on Facebook, but like many DM's I am not actually playing in any games.  I would like to start here in Livejournal a Forgotten Realms game using all the 4th Edition books out to date (once the PHBII comes out)  The game ( Read more... )

This weekend the weather was good enough to go outside a good deal ( Read more... )

I haven't posted much about my job, which is very cool and always interesting.

1) I have redirected johnmeier.org to my professional portfolio
2) I put in my 2nd year tenure dossier this January, which means I am approximately 1/3 of the way to tenure
3) Our old library email is going away and I will dance when I am only meier@psu.edu and maybe jjm38@ ( Read more... )

This weekend was a busy one, considering it was only two days like any other (and still too cold to go for a walk or spend much time outdoors)

1) Made a beer can tandoori chicken from a recipe in a book I got years back (and have successfully tried three recipes from, which has this one as the best)
2) Installed a crib tent for Henry, because that ( Read more... )

From my iPod

Not sure if I should microblog from LJ, Twitter, or Facebook. Right now a post to LJ goes to the others. However, Facebook has the most rich, social functions in their Status services.

We have put up a few more photos of Henry who is now 10 months old.

1) I came home yesterday to the sight of Henry standing, unsupported, in the kitchen and when he saw me coming up the stairs he walked over to the gate to greet me.  Boggle!

2) Today is Fat Tuesday, the last day of Mardi Gras.  I have king cake and left over red beans and rice with ( Read more... )

If I can stick to five short things every few days, maybe this will work!

1) Two very cool people got married to form one giant bastion of awesomeness.  Congrats to mr_mking  and alphabetically !
2) Henry's Opa visited this weekend, so kissmary  and I had a "date".  We went to Zeno's to share a beer (Winona's Big Brown Ale) and to the Diner for my first grilled stickey.
3) Happy ( Read more... )

I haven't posted to this journal in a long time, so I thought it would be a good time to get back into updates.  Five things to start:

1) Got to see the Director of Search from LinkedIn speak yesterday, and noted his comment "A librarian is a wonderful thing" on Twitter.
2) Watching lots of behind the scenes for Watchmen on my iPod Touch
3) Henry is ( Read more... )

Just wanted to post from my new bedtime.  Henry goes to sleep between 7 and 8pm and since he still gets up a few times at night, we go to bed as well.
