Happy Mothers' Day
I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish a Happy Mothers' Day to any and all mothers on the flist who I won't be speaking to today.
Also, I reminder to the rest of you to make a phone call!

SF Antiquarian Book Fair
Next weekend is the San Francisco Antiquarian Book, Print, and Paper Fair, and 7th and Brennen in San Francisco.
I've been several times before, and they always have lots of cool, old, collectible, and generally odd books.
I've already got plans for Saturday, but I'd love to go Sunday. Anybody else interested?

I'm not going to describe it here (what, you're too lazy to click on the link above?) so I'll wait while you read the article ( Read more... ) -
Harry Potter, in 3D
So, I find myself once again, with a free weekend (well, at least partially free).
So, I'm going to go see Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix in 3D, at the Regal Hacienda in Dublin. Possible times are 10:35(am), 1:25, 4:15, 7:05, or 10:00. Probably Saturday, but Sunday is a possibility.
Anybody want to go with me?

And now, for something completely different.
And, in other news, check out lolcode; this is wrong in so many ways. One of them, the fact that I'm considering joining and working on it. (stole link for this from loreleif
Still haven't seen the new POTC. Hopefully this weekend.
Had a good time at ConDuit last weekend. David Weber is an interesting guest.
That's all for now. Move along.

My take on the whole thing.
While I have definite opinions on the LJ/fandom/WFI kerfuffle (apparently my word for the week), they are long and rambly, and I'm not in the mood to do all the digging to write up something coherent. I'm both angry and apathetic, and I guess the second is winning out.
I'll leave you with these two links:
rmjwell said some good things I agree with.
