We had an author signing and the author is an astronaut, so people were asking all sorts of fun questions. When his editor said, "Does anyone have any questions?" I wanted to ask everything (ie, "is it too late for me to make a career change?") but I sat back and watched instead. Someone asked if he ever got claustrophobic and he said that they ( Read more... )

I volunteered for a college fair this evening. Here are the messages I would have sent twitter throughout the event, if I wasn't trying to look professional ( Read more... )

I started the Couch to 5K program and I didn't pass out. Yay. My lungs were on fire and my legs ached for three days afterward, but I managed to complete day one ( Read more... )

As a general rule, I don't get excited about new games until/unless localization is announced. But once I saw photos from the new Ace Attorney? I just exploded.

Ahaha, I thought I was too old now to get excited about new games. I don't really care about the new Fire Emblem much (fandom's already killed it; how impressive), and while I did buy ( Read more... )

I've been a little obsessed with songza lately. It's like Pandora, but doesn't suck (haha I dislike Pandora so much). I spent the bulk of yesterday (when I wasn't on hold) listening to the "90210 slumber party" playlist, which includes such gems as Motownphilly and Whatta Man. hahaha hello, middle school ( Read more... )

I received my 5-year recognition certificate at work today, which was quite unexpected since my anniversary isn't for another two weeks. It makes me feel special and important. It's nicely propped up on my bookshelf where everyone can see it, haha ( Read more... )
