I think I can get to Arisia this year. That'll be the first time since... um, I think since rednikki moved west. Wow. If I came in at midnight Thursday/Friday, would someone be able to pick me up from the airport? Or is the T still running at that hour? Also, does anyone need/want a roommate? (No floors, please. I am getting old.) Warning: I snore. Not stentoriously, but audibly. Oh man...

This is the tentative schedule for November. Notice, if you will, that each person gets to write on the same day of the week, so it'll be easier to keep track. Sunday the 1st: Me Monday 2nd: rednikki Tuesday 3rd: mrben Wednesday 4th: katydidinoz Thursday 5th: orbifold Friday 6th: franzferdipants Saturday 7th: aphephobia Then it repeats, with Nikki...

Home sick today. Seem to have a household case of the "wake up at oh god thirty with a really bad sore throat." Also very tired. Should be asleep, but see above. Pygment went back to bed so I'll stay up to herd the monsters and hope she can rest. Have declared myself too pathetic to go to work. Today shall be a day of many tissues, much tea and soup, and getting a few things done. If your day sucks...

Happy New Year, everybody! A grab-bag entry of recent-ish things... First, to remind myself (because I can never really remember, any more, what I actually did on New Year's Eve in any given year): this year there was a snowstorm out there, and it was very cold. I had yummy food for dinner, and yummy wine courtesy of rednikki and mycranium . I watched the Disney movie "Enchanted"...

rednikki , who recently suffered a hard drive failure on her Powerbook, has a friend who unfortunately just had a similar occurrence and needed some more info about how we recovered her data. He ended up deciding to go with a commercial data recovery service, but rednikki suggested I post my advice here in case anyone else might need it. Let the cut 'n' paste begin! I am by no...

Action Squad!!! Originally uploaded by mycranium1 Wow! I guess rednikki really likes having her laptop back. She had given me the red and black choppers before, and yesterday a big box from ThinkGeek showed up with the big orange twin-rotor and the three cars! Woo hoo! Action Squad is Go to Keep the World Safe for (miniature) Freedom! Thanks, rednikki !
