So newredshoes and I had the best viewing party ever today. Seriously. The best. We rewatched "Yellow Fever," and then we alternated episodes of due South and Dark Angel for a while. And...that either wasn't there before or that I simply haven't noticed-- a tendency to throw the Winchesters' flaws in their faces, and in the viewers', more overtly than used to happen. Just a thought, there

HELLO LIVEJOURNAL. I am in Massachusetts. At Smith, in fact! And the software I needed to get their wifi totally borked my computer, but otherwise I'm having a good time and hanging out with silentvoice29... and my online time's going to be a lot more limited, probably until I get home Saturday, than I expected. In the meantime: tell me things, friendslist! What are you up to? What awesome am I missing

I made it to NextFest today! Finally. And I saw prosthetic limbs and fabric for superhero costumes and eraseable paper and shiny future cars and VR machines, and I played a video game with my brain. ...with things pretty well lately. Stuff Is Getting Done! Not everything that needs getting done, but I feel capable of dealing with that too. Which is a pretty awesome feeling, and I hope it lasts :

I'm very posty right now, but SO MUCH TO DO SEND HALP Tomorrow: need to get to unemployment (they open at 8) first thing, be back here from 10:30-2 to accept package. If it gets here by 12 or so, going...a nap before leaving. I'm pretty sure there're things I'm forgetting, here. Blah. >:| newredshoes , are you going to be around tomorrow? Want to take another shot at seeing shiny things :D

Train reservations are mine. Leaving Chicago at 7PM the 9th, three-hour stopover in DC, arriving in Boston 1 AM the 11th; leaving Boston at noon the 17th, brief stopover in Albany, arriving in Chicago... that'd be awesome too. And, if I have any Boston people handy: can anyone tell me what South Station's like? Do they have food? wifi? What? Basically: will I be able to survive there for nine hours

So Amtrak hiked up their fares again, right as I was coming home from depositing all my savings in the bank to buy tickets next week. I am not accepting a hundred dollars from ariastar to cover...have it work out. Fuck, just once I'd like to get asked out on a date by someone who isn't twice my age or halfway across the country. I quit. Adulthood sucks and I suck at it and I fucking quit

Well, I was going to go to NextFest with newredshoes today. So we went, and had to ask directions because we may be ex-UChicago geniuses but eight-foot bright blue signs are hard to see, okay... Om nom nom. > Frost/Nixon and Milk. I have no casting to be particularly excited about in those movies, sadly, but I am loving the current fad for based-on-true-stories movies and hope it continues

--> newredshoes : Meet you at Michigan and Monroe tomorrow at 5:30? :D? --> I applied for a job as an online SAT tutor today! It'll be a few weeks before I hear back, but in theory I could make...beige :D) And I wish I had a camera so I could show off, because it's glorious. It will look better when I can get a rug instead of having a big useless expanse of carpet, but . . . budget? What budget

So I just found out about Wired NextFest going on downtown, and I want to go to this. I want to go to it a whole fucking lot. Like, reading the website (which I've stopped now, to keep things a surprise...day this Tuesday or Wednesday, and again the evening of the 8th for Brain Bowl, but it's open for free six times a week and I suspect I'd be perfectly happy to go more than once if people so desire

I want you all to know that I have the bestest best friend anyone ever had.
