I just watched Vixy and Tony perform The Apprentice

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

It was all I could do not to cry. (There’s a play button so you can hear the first minute.)  It’s a song about Inara.  I hope I get to listen to the recording (all the filk circles are being recorded this year).

I am safely arrived at the con and fed and watered

Now to tune my instrument and head out for the filking!

Lots of links

I have watched all of this – Time lapse from an aircraft – make it full screen and turn up the audio. The first ten minutes of this parkour video. None of this. I intend to as it comes highly recommended by Kottke.org and John A at work. ALL OF THIS ADORABLE BABY VIDEO. All [...]

Keith was here last night and I was so happy to see him that we made a lot of noise.  Jeff finally staggered out of his bedroom and said, “Too… loud….” but I didn’t actually STFU until I remembered the magic phrase: “oh, crap, Jeff is WORKING in the morning.”  Then I crept off to [...]

Fact is, I can’t talk about anything right now without either going to the whining place, the TMI place or the don’t have permission to talk about it place.  I mean, I’m doing okay, but there’s a lot going on under the hat, thanks.  I would like to thank Robof9 and ScaryClown and Patricia and [...]

Three pics

Because it’s rude, it’s behind a link.  ScaryClown’s latest. Zeek! and Kira framed by fog. A cute graffitto from the 25 bus.

Film and links

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Last night I viewed for the first time since I heard about it when I was 11, Carl Dreyer’s Passion of Joan of Arc.  Falconetti was as amazing as advertised, and there were shots and parts of the movie that were brilliant, but the parts that annoyed me were many, so I guess I didn’t [...]

A bit of incompatibility between WordPress 2.7 and the theme we’re using was resolved with some code replacement.  It should now be working properly.  Let us know if it isn’t for you.

Jeff is looking into the Not Being Able To Escape The Blog issue. The appearance of the blog may change, or the problem may be fixed in some other fashion. There’s no timeline but at least he knows why it’s happening, which is always a good start!

Obese women have more sex. As usual, the research does not seem to apply to me.

Cooperative play

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Jeff picked up an instrument and played Rock Band last night.  Now I will relate to you a story of such …. well, I’ll just tell the story. The boys (Jeff, Keith and Mike) were crashing through the final chords of Creep by Radiohead and….phhht.  The power went off. There was no reason for the [...]

Good day so far

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

So I went to Surrey Central, and met up with a very nice man.  He treated me to hot and sour soup and a steamed bun (which was teh awesome) and we walked around and talked a bit, and I anticipate hearing from him soonish. And meeting his dog, who sounds like a sweetie. It’s [...]
