Unsettlingly, my bestie is looking at the "wedding" tag on Tumblr and reading the archives of OffbeatBride.com.
HOWEVER.
Occasionally that means she comes running up to me to announce that she's just seen a post about a lesbian pirate wedding at a bowling alley.
Lesbian pirate wedding.
With costumes. And eye patches. And swords.
How cool is that?

I finished Mockingjay at long last, and I definitely have some Thoughts about it, but I'm not up to writing on it in detail just now. ( So 600 words will have to do. (Vague spoilers, more character-related than plot.) ) -

It's 50 degrees so I was wearing a hoodie when I was out and about, hood up and hands tucked halfway into the sleeves, only this is a Statement now. I've gotten nods, grins, a couple of fist bumps. I'm wearing a hoodie and I'm not afraid to look my fellow pedestrians and bus riders in the eye, regardless of race, and this is a statement. It fucking ( Read more... ) -

I paid $27 to download No Meat Athlete's Half Marathon Roadmap, so now I do have a solid training plan that I didn't just make up my own self. There's a lot of good pep-talky stuff too, all about keeping perspective and not freaking out if things don't go exactly as planned, and I probably need that.
Anyway, it starts out with some goal-setting ( Read more... ) -
Project: Jayne Hat
Because I don't feel like working out how to post this through Ravelry tonight. (Note that this might not be a completely accurate pattern at this time, so use it at your own risk. I wanted to write down what I did before I forget anymore of it, but I have not tested it since the writing. Pictures to come soon, I hope.)
Materials: Soft acrylic yarn ( Read more... ) -
i like this day.
(except the part where our internet connection has broken 85 times in the past two hours...)
I got to sleep in, eat yummy food, watch lots of Classic Who and hang out with awesome people (Miriam and Cristina and also Charlie, who we know from Tumblr and who lives close enough to visit pretty easily). And no one called me from work.
I can have more ( Read more... ) -

Does anyone else find Tangled to be a distressingly realistic portrayal of the effects an emotionally abusive/manipulative parent can have on a kid? Of course Rapunzel is emotionally all over the place (one second overflowing with joy over the littlest things, and the next self-blaming and defensive and scared of her own shadow); she couldn't be ( Read more... ) -

I made a vegetarian (actually vegan) pot roast kind of thing today! It's good!
Have a vaguely recipe like thing. This is all in American units of measure because I'm kind of sick and don't trust my ability to do conversions right now.
- 1 lb carrots
- 2 lb potatoes
- 1 smallish onion
- 1 fennel bulb
- 1 pkg (8 oz) tempeh

Sherlock
My latest fandom love is BBC's Sherlock; S2 began airing on January 1. I'm still processing my thoughts on it, but I can say I loved the first episode and can't wait to see the rest. (I believe there will be three, each about 90 minutes long, so in American terms it's more like a "mini series.")
But I'm having a little bit of a crisis over the fact ( Read more... )
