Oh, and in Yuletide news, I wrote Come and Get Your Love and received come and get your love and the new jerusalem.

AND OH MAN DO I LOVE THEM BOTH SO HARD. You guys, if you'ver ever read Transmetropolitan, READ the new jerusalem. Hell, even if you haven't, go out, read it, and then come back and read the story and love it with me.

And while I went more comedy for writing Altel slash, my darling author went smutty. SMUTTY CHAD/CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW GUY. HAWESOME.

AHAHAHAH.

BOOK DRIVE '08 RULED.

Ali and James and I hit four bookstores today, starting with the Harvard Warehouse Sale and ending with Harvard Bookstore.

I ended up with 22 books for under $60. Some are going to be gifts, some are for me.

AWESOME.

The Upside Down Show?

This is the best children's show EVER.

(Dude 1 drapes himself over a large triangle)
Dude 2: "That looks comfortable."
Dude1: "Actually, it's not."

(Puppet demands a lullabye)
(Dudes 1&2 ROCK THE FRACK OUT, ending with "GOOD NIGHT!")
(Puppet falls asleep)

No, REALLY.

Where I Was

2008-11-06T03:17:01Z

Okay, now that I've slept and gone to work and come home.

When Barack Obama, my president-elect was confirmed, I was in my living room in Shrewsbury, MA, with two of my friends at my side and another one online via GTalk. We had Faux Finale Fabulous hot chocolate to get through the night.

And the night was over so soon! We were in bed before two in the morning! EST, even!

Work was interesting. It was a mix of joy, disbelief, and...well, bitterness. I had someone I've worked with for awhile tell me she wished CONDI had been the first black president.

CONDI.

Now I'm sorry, but Condi Rice is likely DONE as a political entity now. DONE. And that, more than anything else says the complete disconnect.

PS-THIS is what a mandate looks like:

Obama (D) - 349
McCain (R) - 162

Not this:

Bush(R) - 286
Kerry(D) - 252

And sure as hell not this:

Bush(R) - 271
Gore(D) - 266

Why I am THRILLED about this.

2008-11-05T05:11:33Z

Because we have someone who doesn't just SAY he's a uniter. He actually IS one.

Because this is not a nation for any one group of people or against any one group of people. This is a nation of the people.

Because I believe that this man will not lie continously to us.

Because he's going to work his ass off, despite having one of the worst messes to come back from.

Because he's an adult, and will behave like an adult.

Welcome to the new FDR, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the new Camelot. Welcome to Obama.

(oh my lord, this is an amazing speech!)

I get to complain for the next four years!

2008-11-04T20:45:25Z

Voted! I hit it at just the right time. There was a crowd leaving and a crowd going in. I think it took longer to get out of the parking lot than it did to vote.

There were greyhounds sitting outside the polling place, and I think it's funny that they clearly didn't like the guy with the 'NObama' sign. He moved to the other side by the time I got out, and the greyhounds had settled from when I went in.

Not dead! Still just...incredibly busy.

Thanks all for the lovely birthday weekend and messages and general grandness. High Holidays went well-saw folks at temple that I haven't seen in awhile, so that was nice.

For my birthday, by the way, a group of us went to Vinny T's in silly hats. I love that everyone DID.

The store closing continues. It's a little scary how empty it's gotten. But I'm getting four bookshelves from it, so that's not helping the emptying issue, but it IS helping the furniture at the apt.

Have a CueCat for my LibraryThing now, which helps load books in. So one entire bookshelf is full and scanned now, and half of another one. So now I can get more books out of the attic at my parents. Rock!

Anywho, off to bed. More overtime for the morning! Yay.

Had day off. Had good day off. Got the electric bill sorted, got info on cable hookup and non-stolen internet, lolled around a bit, Simmed, finally signed up and USED my LibraryThing account, now need more space in account.

Also, confused holy hell out of it, because so far I've just added the Box O'Romance Novels and the SF books I can't live without.

And a few children's books.

It's trying to find another library like mine, and it's just CONFUSED. Although tryslora, it might try to find me you, if your reading challenge notes are anything to go by.

I do wish it'd let me note when I have two copies of a book, like how I've somehow got two of "The Nerd who Loved Me" and yet am missing all of my copies of "Outlander" at the moment. I know Julie's got one (read it! you will love it!) and I'm assuming the other two are at my parents' house still. Like most of my books.

....this is gonna be FUN.

....the cat likes Good Eats.

I mean, we were watching Project Runway reruns, and she was sleeping, but I switched to Good Eats, and she perked up, climbed to the top of the chair, and is now attentively watching Alton make tres leche cake.

F'serious.

And it all takes place in a snow globe.

2008-09-01T01:48:25Z

Everytime I watch Soon Yi on M.A.S.H., I get just a bit thrown.

After all, why is Keiko O'Brien marrying KLINGER?

Barring that, does that make Klinger possibly one of Keiko's ancestors?

Ponder THAT, sports fans.

Linar, reporting for duty!

Back from Pennsic, back from Vegas, moving out by the end of the week, out of a job by November.

What a summer.

Home again.

2008-08-11T03:57:24Z

Back from Pennsic.

Still somewhat dead.

Had lovely, lovely, thrilling, relaxing, exciting, exhausting, informative, brain-melting time, and I can't wait to do it again next year.

It's a little weird returning though-I spent the last week in the Modern Middle Ages, and I come home to the internet and TV and fridges and tomorrow I go back to work.

A mammoth entry will follow once I've uploaded my pictures and so on.

Off to war soon!

Okay.

Where've I been?

Getting ready to go to Pennsic War.

When do we leave?

Saturday morning.

When will we be back?

8/11.

Where will we be?

Pennsylvania. Camping outside for a week with a ton of other SCAdians. Doing things in <lj-user="hakerh">'s name.

We've been working towards this since last year. It's our first time going, and we're PYSCHED. And tired. And our fingers are pricked from pins and needles and mine are green from dying some silk a better color.

So, yes. AUGH.

2008-07-09T02:29:09Z

Oh NO.

Star Trek: The Experience is closing SEPTEMBER FIRST. This means I have to find some way to head out for a weekend and see it before then. I MUST. I'll see if my dad wants to go with me, but it'll literally be a weekend, probably sometime right after Pennsic. I must! And I'm sad it's closing.

Beth! The Other Guy in Mamma Mia? You know, non-FirthorBrosnan? It's STELLAN SKARSGARD. AKA BOOTSTRAP BILL FROM PotC. No WONDER he looked vaguely familiar!

Um...y'all, do you realize that Colin Firth is playing the Gay!Daddy? I'm serious, he's playing Harry, who is the one who winds up being gay as the day is long. Dang it Firth! And Christine Baranski plays one of the few people who winds up single by the end.

I'm adorable and made of Velcro!

Things that are pretty awesome right now:

1) The Women is on, and it's just finished the OMGCOLOR fashion show.

2) For those who haven't heard, my housemate brought home a 2-month old kitten last Friday, and she's currently batting at my fingers while I type.

3) I don't have to be at work until 1 pm tomorrow, so I get to sleep in.

4) Did I mention tinykitteh? Tiny fluffy brown-eyed kitteh? Ittybittykitteh?

5) I got to see my college Caitlyn last week. Hurrah, I hadn't seen her in AGES.

6) And I get to see more of the girls on Saturday, when we go see the glass flowers at Harvard.

7)jbjhbftyda

8) Kitteh walk on kybard! Kitteh so small she only reaches from the a key to the j key! ITTYBITTYKITTYCOMMITTEE REPRESENTATIVE.

Shear Genius!

2008-06-26T03:32:23Z

Shear Genius! The show that makes me want to change something about my hair EVERY TIME. (The red hair from last fall? Totally the fault of a Shear Genius marathon/antsiness)

I love how excited they all are! Aw, they think they're cute.

Blindfolded, eh? That should be fun. And we have two 'rockers' already. Oshun, I hate you already. If you're so 'deep,' then why can't you say anything else?

Matthew, way to gurantee premiere nooky. 'The only thing I love more than [hairdressing] is my wife.'

Oshun, I repeat, you suck.

Kim Vo, you are just so dang cute.

I do hope they get to repair the damage before these poor hair models walk out into the world. Some of them are okay, some are just eh.

Heheh. Kim to Oshun. 'Hm.' Move on.

Dee's happy dance is adorable, I must say. And her hair isn't bad.

Daniel, how gay ARE you? Really.

Snarker Parker, awesome.

Oshun, you are totally LAST LAST LAST LAST. And the best don't finish last, they finish FIRST. That's what makes them the BEST.

I kinda like the house instead of the apartments. Everyone together, such a better bowl for drama. I also like seeing them eat in the morning. Trix, eggs, bacon....they're all different even there.

YAY, RENE. You and Tim Gunn just pull off that effortless awesomesauce.

THIS IS AN AMAZING CHALLENGE. Celebrity hair, sure. CARTOON celebrity hair, SHEAR GENIUS.

Also, interesting mix of cartoons. Jem, Wilma Flintstone, Betty Boop, Marge Simpson, Judy Jetson, and Lucy Van Pelt. Mix of the old and the new there.

I <3 the first Wilma, and groove a bit on the second. Daniel's Wilma is just AWESOME. She's Wilma-inspired, but very punky.

I like the first Marge, and the second one...oh my LORD, what was he THINKING? (I know, he was thinking pubic.) Charlie, you crazy. Matthew, I like the blue subtleness.

I like Nekisa''s Lucy. Oshun's Lucy has NO Lucy in it at all. It's nice enough, but eh. And he annoys me. He can shut his face. He says flair, and delivers boring.

Parker's got Boop, that's for sure, but I don't know how every day it iss. Dee's is FABULOUS Boop AND feasible.

Meredith. Judy Jetson is not 80s. Paulo, Judy is not....limp.

I also love that the judges are feeling the hair more this season. Pretty but crunchy-AHAHAH. Oh Daniel, you are the Kaynebow this season.

............since when is Lucy an innocent personality?

....I wouldn't have put Charlie in the top three. Middle for the risktaking, but not the TOP. Yes, not Shear Genius this week. Rock the risk.

DANIEL TOTALLY SHEAR GENIUS THIS WEEK. AWESOME. His WAS fantastic. But don't get cocky, it's the first challenge.

And see, I wouldn't have put Matthew in the bottom. His colorwork looks very good to me, even if yes, it's a little Peg Bundy. PLEASE send Oshun home right the frick now though, his hair is terrible and his attitude is worse.

Ah, good. Matthew is safe.

AHAH. GOODBYE, JERK. That's the dumbest strategy I've ever heard. 'Play it down for a couple challenges, then blow it out.' Blow it out your ASS, sir. You're the farthest from deep on the whole show.

Went to Salisbury on Thursday, went to Midsummer's on Friday, got home today. Had good time and lots of Gatorade.
