A LJ introduction. gingeraled meet spidergirl30. You're both really awesome people that I'm proud to have as friends. And I think you'd make good friends. So friend each other!

Yes, the eternal debate, who's hotter, Fanficcers or Fanartists (me).

I may be biased but just based on my flist alone I think the ficcers nailed it (no that's not my self-inflated ego, talking, is it?).

Also, my favorite burrito place closed today. The last burrito was bittersweet.

My brother emails this morning to tell me that Alkaline Trio is playing tonight in Providence! Since they're one of my favorite new(er) bands that should be a really cool show.

I hope to get part four of Vampire Pretty posted before I leave.

Unfortunately, I will likely miss the 10PM train back to Boston so will have kick it in P-town until the first morning train at 5AM. Yes, I will be sleepy tomorrow!

So, and I hope this doesn't cause too much disappointment, this means that the fifth and final part of the story probably won't be ready to post until Tuesday night.

I don't have an iPhone. I had no plans to get one. I'm waiting for the day when phone data is truly up to snuff to replace broadband. Then I'll ditch the cable internets, tether my laptop to my phone, and have internet wherever I want to.

But something about her voice (.mov) really makes me wish I had an iPhone so I could install OmniFocus. Maybe I need professional-grade task management software. Hmmmmm.

*shakes head*

back to writing

In non-crack HP/Twilight fic news, I don't understand.

Favre not playing for Green Bay? This world just doesn't make any sense anymore.

The movie meme I've seen floating around, specifically C&Ped from jlh .

From Entertainment Weekly's top 100 movies of the last 25 years. Go through their list, BOLD the ones you have seen, and underline the ones you own; put an asterisk next to the one you love. Italicize the ones you want to see.

( film flam )

Yes, I see a lot of movies.

To settle a long-standing debate with queenb23more I decided to take this very important issue to my flist.

Skim milk (fat free) is what she drinks, derisively referring to my preferred whole milk as cream.

My brother and I have long called skim milk blue water, due to color and bland taste. Queen B thought the blue was absolutely crazy.

So, dear flist, does skim milk have a blue hue or not? Not like blue-food-coloring blue, but a slight, not-quite-white blue tint.

Yes, these things keep me up at night.

Gacked from stormsandsins , the ( music meme ).

Happy Canada Day!

to my northern friends.

And I was tagged by stmargarets and gingeraled for a question meme with some overlap with this meme. New questions ( behind the cut )

ETA: Everyone should see Wall-E. If I was a boy-robot I'd have a crush on EVE.

This is about four houses down on the other side of the street from me. Yikes!

The Stranger's annual Queer Issue is out, focusing on gay marriage, unsurprising after the recent California decision. I found David Schmader's On a Deadline to be particularly good, dealing with his boyfriend's LDS family.

There was also an article, in the Best Of section, on Eli Sanders's journey through gay-free America. It's actually only half as long as it looks since the text is repeated, at least in my browser. While I think the premise was flawed I found it very interesting as it's a region of the country–north Texas, the Oklahoma panhandle, and southeastern Colorado–I've a more than passing familiarity with, having traveled through many times when I was in school. Like the author, I've spent the night in Dumas, Texas (and more than once). Sanders started the journey with his conclusion and found it, thinking, if not explicitly, that these rural, conservative and religious, and very much absent of gays areas would be completely devoid of any redeeming qualities. ( And that's exactly what he found )

I've recced it before but, for the newer flisties, garfield minus garfield is just about the best comic going these days.

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?

Today's is pretty good. Some are really really funny, some are just pitiful, and some are plain scary.

Garfield minus garfield really hammers home the fact that Jon's life sucks completely.
