Many thanks and appreciation to gilana , eclecticavitar , and heliopsis for letting us store our stuff in their basements for the last year. This meant multiple invasions of their space during each show and countless times they made last minute arrangements in their personal lives to accommodate our last minute emergencies. This past Wednesday the move into our new storage...

On Friday night, saxikath , ucaoimhu , and I went to see Iolanthe at MIT, in part because we know so much of the cast. Unfortunately, brief_life came out the worse for wear in hand-to-pimply-skin combat with an avocado, and so we missed the pleasure of her Fleta. As compensation, we got to see greenlily in the role. It was a lovely production, with far better choreography...

Happy Birthday greenlily !

So. . .wow. My coworker in the development office is having a baby. Actually she's already had him by now (at 7:30 last night she was having contractions 3 minutes apart, and AFAIK nobody's called for an update since). So now the development office is down 40% of its workforce, and there are a whole mess of government grants coming up, both new and old. (Once the stimulus money gets allocated, a whole...

That they were so close just made the apparent betrayal hurt worse. They...

This year I got a bit more creative than last year. My Yuletide assignment was in the GHOSTBUSTERS movieverse genre, and written for greenlily . A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME "She finally called it quits, Venkman." Raymond Stantz, shaking his head in disbelief, handed the note to his colleague, Peter Venkman. "It was bound to happen," Peter intoned in an I-told-you-so way. Egon Spengler...

As cribbed from hahathor   and greenlily  : Put your media player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title. I'm So Tired of Being Alone I've been looking for an original sin. I am the city. Sloop John B, Sloop John B, Sloop John B, there is no future. There was a time I was...

Meme cribbed from greenlily : Put your media player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title. [I skipped the instrumentals and the two non-English songs that came up - one was Cambodian and one Hebrew, if they'd been French or Italian or something I would have been able to somewhat transcribe...
