Why do I feel like two days away from LJ demands an explanation of my whereabouts?

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Thank you to everyone who sent birthday wishes. I’m a little behind in reading LJ because it’s been an eventful and busy week. I had this terribly ambitious “30 things I’ve learned at 30″ post I was working on, but when I couldn’t get past 18 things, I decided to abandon the concept. The only [...]

Memorial Day Weekend

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Tomorrow is the big day, the first anniversary of my 29th birthday. It’s been an adventurous holiday weekend. We took a half-day at work on Friday, so I spent the afternoon in the gym, hurting myself. Friday night, Jennifer, Daniel and I had sushi for dinner then went to another Dubstep night at Jelly’s. I [...]

Old Friends

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

I’m not sure how many of my friends have upstart-crow as a friend, but Joselle is Asst. Editor at my old newspaper in Utah. She’s working on an article about queer women who love Harry Potter and has put out a call for help. Since I have a few friends who qualify, I thought I’d [...]

Does not Compute

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

My poor overworked laptop is starting to give me troubles. It’s running really slow and connecting to the internet tonight is like feding a pill to a cat without the benefit of hiding it in something. Just as I think I’ve got it, something happens and I have to start the process over again. I’m [...]

Heroes

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

The finale just didn’t do it for me. Everything just felt anti-climactic to me. Nothing about “Bob” the Haitian, nothing was explained about *why* the frigging explosion was supposed to be a good thing, and the Peter/Sylar showdown was surprisingly skimpy on the special effect. I mean, I know this is a television budget and [...]

While waiting to see someone blow up Manhattan…

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

I rich and famous now! Well, sorta mildly famous anyway, if getting quoted and contradicted in The Advocate counts as fame. They also left out my entire rationale for the statement… that when corporations embrace LGBT equality and truly embrace inclusion, and LGBT people are able to bring their whole selves to work without fear, [...]

Maker Faire and Bay to Breakers 2007

Monday, May 21st, 2007

This weekend was filled with fun in the sun, not all of it intentional. And in what is becoming something of a tradition for me, I’ll recap with photos! Some days I’m starting to think that my flickr photo stream tells you more about me than my LJ. Saturday began with a difficult-to-coordinate trip to [...]

Weekend Adventures

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

Trying to get all of my friends a) moving on a Saturday morning, b) coordinated enough to reach the Caltrain Station, and c) actually to the Maker’s Faire before it closes at 6pm is turning out to be much more intense than one would have hoped. Tonight, The Graduate is showing at Washington Park, kicking [...]

It’s raining (ugly, conservative, old, primarily white) men

Friday, May 18th, 2007

Wolfowitz, Blair, Gonzales, a score of ranking political figures found in the DC prostitute’s calling records, Haggert, Falwell… Finally a trend I can get behind. With any luck, Karl Rove, James Dobson, Pat Roberston, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Dick Cheney will also find their way out of public influence soon. Also, to my Republican [...]

Spring Awakening review

Friday, May 18th, 2007

I’m writing this during Ugly Betty and Grey’s Anatomy commercial breaks, so let’s hope I remain coherent. And, um, yeah, the last 30 seconds of Ugly Betty… wow. I’m turning into such a girl*. There were tears running down my face from the moment Melchior shoots himself until, well, until the end. I watched one [...]
