Insert obligatory whining about the weather here. Ick. (I have caved in to wearing skirts more often, as a work-friendly alternative to shorts.) Also, I really hope my landlord calls me soon about fixing the second window in my room ( Read more... )

Some geeky items of note:

-Neil Gaiman was even better in person than I'd anticipated. The lecture at MIT was an unexpected highlight of my year. Once I get the DVD (which will be amazing to draw to) I will probably inflict some particularly squee-inducing quotes on you all.

-Prince Caspian was surprisingly enjoyable, in spite of the godawful ( Read more... )

So I've been in a good place for ideas lately. I had to stop in the middle of a subway station on Monday to scribble down ideas for the Side B anthology (finally). I think I just figured out how to wrap up that interminable skirt-panic comic strip (I don't even like it that much anymore, but it needs to get finished anyway). And, I've been ( Read more... )

I put the Ditty Bops, the Hush Sound, the Dresden Dolls and Vampire Weekend into Pandora. I wound up with . . . Ani DiFranco.

Just strikes me as weird.

Good morning, world. I had a crazy/amazing weekend and am now much like a zombie, but the weather is clearly improving, and so will I.

I'm feeling seriously stir-crazy at work right now, but ( Read more... )

It was so fucking beautiful today. I went over to the Cambridgeside mall after work, in search of affordable jeans (which I found--thank you again, hermionesviolin <3). It's really pretty over there. I need to get around more.

It's been a lovely week in general; too bad that it's supposed to rain all weekend, while I travel around like a crazy person. Oh ( Read more... )

Dear asshole,

Thanks so much for spilling your iced coffee all over the floor of the T, and then not bothering to warn or apologize to anyone around you. I was foolish in believing, just because there was no enormous puddle when I sat down, that there would not be one when I stood to exit the train ( Read more... )

Um. Neil Gaiman will be at MIT in late May. And be interviewed by Henry Jenkins. Who I had totally forgotten was at MIT.

Yeah, I kind of have to go to that.

Hrm. So I just bought a ridiculously expensive (name-brand) messenger bag, but I already regret it, and am considering returning it. The thing is, I really need one; my backpack, sturdy and faithful though it is, just doesn't cut it for the kind of day-to-day carrying I'm doing right now. And it's way too big for my computer ( Read more... )

Yes, so, have kind of vanished again. You know me . . . it's a perpetual cycle of appearing-and-disappearing. (Both in the real world and the virtual; even different corners of both. And when I'm in one in particular I'm not so much in the others ( Read more... )

"Set your wife on fire." -the subject line of a message in my spam folder. It took me a minute ( Read more... )
