[sactown] State Capitol Building

So, I’ve promised a friend I would start taking pictures of Sactown to show her. It gets me out of the office at lunch — most of these will be walking distance from work — and it lets me see a bit more of the city I live in. I’ll start the series with this […]

rally ’round her banner, we will ne’er fail

I have got to be one of the few people that keeps both their university fight song and alma mater mp3s on her work computer. On the other hand, a stirring rendition of Fight for California on a midafternoon’s slog helps a lot. (And Hail to California, the alma mater, ain’t so bad either.) (There […]

Feel like I’m going around in circles.

Or, I guess, more precisely, they’re ellipses. Anyway, I’ve managed another lap around the daystar — thus ends my 33rd year on the planet and the beginning of 34. Or to put it in terms that are more understandable to most human beings: It’s my 33rd birthday. I’m not entirely sure where my head is […]

bad days

Some days I love fandom. Some days I hate it. Today is sorta shaping up to be the latter. Don’t mind me, I’ll be fine. It’s my own stupid fault and I’ll get over it.

taff time again?

Leave a comment

I really need to update my blog more. The run from Worldcon to now has been “work frantic work frantic stomach bug” and that’s what I’ve been dealing with. Plus, I’m trying to write a con report. Anyway, two years ago, I wrote Waiting For TAFF (LJ version). And guess what? It’s TAFF time again! […]
