my recent life: a linkful post
1) We had a beach trip, and now it's over. I have freckles to show for it, though.
2) We had a verlaine, too. His visit was rather ineffective, but still lovely -- we tried to go to the Visionary Arts Museum and failed. Then we tried to go to the BMA and failed. We then went home and succeeded at eating an enormous amount in the company of spillingvelvet and empress_jae and spillingvelvet's ( Read more... ) -
I'm absurdly relieved...
...to find out that the MP3 I downloaded of "Which Backstreet Boy is Gay" is not by Weird Al Yankovic, as it had been advertised.

The happiest of birthdays...
..to dracunculus, the best best friend a girl could have. We've hung onto each other across more than ten years and thousands of miles, and I look forward to the years increasing and the miles decreasing. Unless we start living backwards, and also leave the country.
Many happy returns, dearest drac. -
Oh, Hillary, whyfore has thou forsaken me?
I have been a staunch Hillaryist since I met her at Oxford, since I volunteered for her senatorial campaign in NY. She's a Wellesley woman, for heaven's sake. She's done some dumb things (IRAQ) but I think she'll do better the more power she has, because her mistakes have all come from compromising. Plus I just like her, because something about her ( Read more... ) -
Change my daemon, baby.
I'm pretty psyched for the movie. I really liked the books -- creepy psychosexual overtones aside -- and the cast looks good. And the website is just beautiful.

If you said a word for its softness,
you might say billowy,
or valley floor, or lesbian.
If you made up an unbumpy sound
you might come out with ahloovay,
or elyamoor, or lesbian.The ell, the zz, the buh, the nn ( Read more... ) -
I AM FAMOUS ON THE INTERWEBS.
my lolrus was posted on icanhascheezburger! granted, I did it with Paint, but the crude style is deliberate and gives it jailhouse veritas (rilly).

Where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking...
...and all of the children are parented by one (1) penis and one (1) vagina.
This just in: Garrison Keillor is an asshole. I'd make some flip comment about how upset I am, except that I really am upset. I grew up listening to Prairie Home Companion. I'm never going to be able to listen to it again without remembering that in Lake Wobegone, there ( Read more... ) -
If you thought we were hermits before...
And if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't go any farther than my own backyard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with.

SNOW DAY!!
\o/
Actually, an ice day. This is lovely coz I've been sick for the past two days, like with a fever and everything, not my usual malingering. And today I'm well enough to go back, but it's horrible icy outside and I have a whole bunch of unwatched Veronica Marss plus chicken and I was so tempted to sick-out again. But it's a snow day and thus I ( Read more... )
