August Playlist

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

I have a papercut on my right index finger and it’s irritating me. I missed hickey tonight. Work went really late (we’re officially two weeks from the Summit) and I just didn’t feel up to it. Instead, Jessica and I went for gellato. I was inspired by buffyannotater to share a playlist with my friends. [...]

Maybe TMI

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

So I just finshed reading Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. A good read, but right on the heels of Foucault’s Pendulum and House of Leaves, I need a break from paranoia and insanity. So I’m finally re-reading the Fionavar Tapestry. Enough time has passed that although I remember the basic story, I’m falling in love again [...]

Home at last!

Monday, August 28th, 2006

    So, my flight home last night got bumped to 6am this morning. I’ve been awake since 3:45am, after not much sleep Sunday night. It was lots of fun. I saw Mandee and Michelle and Brian and Cory and Kelly and Mike… although my “suprise” visit plan backfired when I didn’t know that several [...]

Naughty and naughtier

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

So, certain naughty blogs I’ve been reading have been going crazy about this movie Lie With Me, which is rather sexually explicit. These blogs keep posting clips of Eric Balfour (here and here – so very, very not worksafe) and I’ve been trying to figure out where I recognized him from. Way too familiar, but [...]

I’ll have the Veggie Piazza

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

So I enjoyed The Light in the Piazza, but I’m glad I was familiar with the music before going to the show. The lyrics are rather dense with metaphor at times and if you’re hearing it for the first time, you might miss some of the meaning. As it was, seeing the whole show finally [...]

Say it Somehow

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

Things have finally slowed down a bit at work. The Summit program book is finally at the printer. It’s also online now, if anyone is interested in seeing the fruits of my labor (and that of many other people). I’ve also been working on our newsletter and updating the website, so there’s still plenty to [...]

Miscellany

Monday, August 21st, 2006

I went to see The Illusionist today. I liked it, although the surprise ending wasn’t all that surprising. Still, well crafted and entertaining. I reccomend it. I also reccomend The 24th Day starring James Marsden and Scott Speedman. It wasn’t a perfect movie… in particular, I had a hard time believing one of Marster’s monologues [...]

When Zombies Attack

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

Today, after having brunch with Jessica, Daniel, Jennifer and Trish (Jennifer’s sister who’s visiting this week) we wandered down to Market Street. Image our horror and shock when the zombies attacked! Yes, that’s right, downtown San Francisco was attacked by zombies this afternoon. While we managed to survive with our brains intact, the sidewalks and [...]

Mood Swings

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

Drunk post. My apologies. So, I left work early today after some of the late nights this week. That just meant getting an earlier start on the drinking. No so smart, that, but what can you do? I was in “a mood.” Seriously, my mood sings today were like a teenager. By the time I [...]

Rufus Wainwright (of course)

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

From Buffyannotater. Here are the rules: Answer all the questions with the song titles of one band/group/artist. Multiple albums are fine (recommended, in fact). State the band/group/artist you’re using in the subject line. Perty simple. Use songs whose titles answer the question, not songs whose lyrics do. Not all of us know these songs, so [...]
