Hey everybody! Intercon J signups are almost upon us -- 1st game signup is on November 4th (the day after tomorrow) at 3pm. If you don't have much experience LARPing, this is a great place to start. I will be running two games: arachne8x and I will be running Tonight at 8 , our romantic comedy hijinks LARP, on Friday night. On Saturday afternoon, I'll be running Life at the Securemarket...

Played in hazliya 's game Martha Stewart's Guide to Interdimensional Summoning (and Basting a Turkey) yesterday and had a blast. My character was a bit of a deviation from the norm: she was neither a thief, a whore, or an assassin (though she was a princess). Instead, she was the mental equivalent of a 14 year old girl obsessed with Disney movies and happily-ever-afters. In fact, when asked...

hazliya , juldea , and I are going to an indie-folk concert this Saturday at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge. juldea and I are tentatively doing dinner at Christopher's (in Porter Square) ahead of time. Anyone else want to come? The concert is $10 presale and $12 at the door . The headliners ( Annie Lynch and the Beekeepers ) are many levels of awesome if you like that sort...

was simultaneously incredibly awesome and heart-wrenchingly sad. The sadness is not mine to discuss, so I won't, but I do wish to give a shout-out to doompuppy for being great, and evan712 , lucasthegray , and docsmiley for holding down the fort (and cleaning it up) after we left. Tis No Deceit (To Deceive a Deceiver) was a ton of fun. I was a pretty, pretty princess...

I went to Intercon this past weekend. I am drained and exhausted, but had a really great time both running and playing in games--and I really expected to have a horrible time. More fool me. I seem to have this thing where at every Intercon, I end up playing a really ridiculous role that everyone remembers me for. Last year, I was the maniacal over-the-top supervillain in a game. This year, I was Jabba...

For my SCAD app, I have to submit a bunch of game designs. Unfortunately, documentation was not something I was the best at with my designs... And I'm not sure what counts as "game" to the admissions board, nor whether IP issues matter for admissions materials. To wit, I've got this list of games I've developed and had at least a working prototype for, some of which have spotty documentation I can...

Ah, yes, hazliya and I have been dating for four years today. Longest relationship I've ever been in. I tend to stick to three year runs. After I finish work, we're going to play some Rock Band and eat Chinese food together. It shall be glorious.

...Christmas trees are the best things EVAR. For one, they are mighty tasty. I, personally, am REALLY looking forward to dealing with them as they digest spruce needles. Also, in a time-honored tradition, shogunhb and I attached bells to the bottom branches as an Insto-Kitten Alarm. This way, if we hear the jingle-jangle that is NOT Nick Cave, we know the kittens are being bad (their natural...

...to hazliya ! May your day be special and filled with happy animals (other than your friends, of course)! We're flying back in (late) tonight, but would like to go out to dinner with ya. Maybe Wednesday or this weekend or something? Let us know, huh?

So inspired by hazliya 's new LJ theme for me, I kind of went crazy in the LJ settings pages. I had honestly not changed my LJ layout in years, and I have an actual fandom to obsessively model my life LJ around, now! So check it out . All it needs now is a custom mood theme, which I figure will come from all of Len's Thing-a-Week artwork or pictures of JoCo himself. I changed the page...
