Well, I'm not going to RF. I'm going to work, however, as of Wednesday; They called me back to offer me the job. Bloody awesome! But... aw.

But SQUEE!

...at a cost. I may have to skip RF this year. Bugger. Doublebugger, really; I hate missing a convention, especially one so close, but as it turns out, a future coworker/friend of mine will also be attending. Oh well. Honestly, right now, the job is more important. Financial independence, solvency, they sound really good right about now. I get to ( Read more... )

I've been silent a while, but lately, something has come up far too frequently. Homophobia and proselytizing idiots ambushing me on the street figuring I'm actually going to be interested in their hateful, Bronze-Age myth. If you're sensitive to annoyed atheistic rants aimed precisely at these people, stop reading. Now ( Read more... )

So. I took a look downstairs a few minutes ago while running the recycling out, and what do I find on the community bulletin? An NDP candidate nomination flyer. Good. I like the NDP. Glad to see them active here. However, like any conscientious citizen in a democratic society *should*, I researched my potential candidate before proceeding further ( Read more... )

So I did a lot of trooping around today. And I mean a -lot-. Basically been "on the march" nonstop since about 9 AM. My heels are a bit raw, my socks are clingy, and my legs feel like a pair of hammer-pummeled sausages. But it feels so damn good in a way. Woo. The university campus was on my itinerary, MSD, and the doctor's office. Somewhere in the ( Read more... )

So, I got into a bit of a dust-up today. Not once, but twice. Neither were physical. Both were verbal, one political and one theological/intellectual. There's some strange law of human existence that somehow demands that an individual be physically unable to restrain their own ideology. That they must share it with everyone in sight from time to ( Read more... )

- Took some of the wood stock here, sanded it smooth and cut 2x2' squares, then dovetailed the edges. Cheap wood flooring. Now my chair isn't going to damage the carpeting in the computer room, it rolls smoothly, and the ersatz parquet sweeps clean. If I happen to dump a cup of coffee on it, it's just sanded plywood getting stained, not the ( Read more... )

I may as well start posting semi-regularly again. I apologize if LiveJournal is showing ads on this journal now (I did not bother renewing my journal subscription after my posting in February), and still do not plan to pay for a renewal. However, I don't notice it myself, as I keep a fairly up to date Hosts file to blacklist advertising domains ( ( Read more... )
