Comic Con: The Con of Lines
Many people have asked me what Comic Con is like, so here’s where I do my best to sum it up. In short, it’s amazing and exciting and wonderful and full of nerdom and geekdom and squeeing. But it’s also painful, dehydrating, tiring, expensive, disappointing, and annoying.
It’s the con of lines. Seriously. My friends and I like to joke about how you ( Read more... ) -
Trail Gnomes
So, long time no see! I suck at updating but you all knew that already so let us just move on now, yes?
This weekend was awesome. This week so far has sucked so I'm really glad I had such a good weekend.
A few weeks ago, a volunteer opportunity was posted on the Lassen NF website about trail maintenance. In exchange for volunteering labor, the PCTA ( Read more... ) -
There was talk of cake.*
So yesterday was Thursday, right? And good stuff happens only on Thursdays, right? **
Anyways, lizzyshoe and I decided that because it was Thursday, we really needed to celebrate. So we decided that after rock climbing, we were going to eat ice cream cake for dinner. Why? Just because.

Truely Random Notes and Observations
Pluto is a TNO (trans-Neptunian-object), specifically a KBO (Kuiper Belt object), specifically a dwarf planet, and therefore Pluto is a Plutoid. Got it? Much less confusing than when we just called it a planet, right? Righto.

Coping Skills?

Life? Yeah, not nearly as fun and exciting as I was lead to believe. I should've realized that when they pulled me out 2 months early and denied me the pleasure of a journey down the birth canal and torturing my mother as thanks for conceiving me in the first place. -

J. K. Rowling gave a very well written, thought provoking, and honest commencement speech at Harvard recently. If you haven't yet seen it, you can either watch it or read the transcript here: http://harvardmagazine.com/go/jkrowling.html. It's well worth looking at and I can say that I was very much impressed.
Hmm, as for updating about my life, I ( Read more... ) -

There's an amusing article here where they nominate various TV characters for different classical yearbook postions. For my geeky friends, here are the important/most hilarious parts:

If the true test of a genius is how badly he handles things outside his area of expertise, ( Read more... )
