Snowpocolypse 2013: We're Still Here! Yay!
Yes, we're still alive and kicking. No real problems beyond little power fluctuations that reset my computer and the clocks on stuff. Annoying as I was finally watching the finale of Fringe (on Hulu) which I missed when I was at Arisia. But nothing damaging or life threatening ( Read more... ) -
Snowpocolypose 2013 - So Far, So Good
Well, snow is accumulating and when I went for a walk earlier it was rather windy. But nothing horrible in Revere yet, at least from what I can see out the window. Granted that on the other side of the building we could be have a Snow Zombie Apocalypse. :) -

Also interesting is a big ol' list of LARP groups including some in New England, namely the fragments of ( Read more... ) -
Something Incredibly Cool and Rather Disturbing

Really Silly Posty
TV Tropes has a page, "Breath On The Fan." Which is, umm, "Since rotary fans essentially "chop up" air as part of its function, speaking or breathing into a fan will cause a distortion effect on the voice." And they note examples of this, particularly in anime and manga. Actually came to the page from the page for Lucky Star which provides the ( Read more... )
