I'm going to Arisia this weekend. Which is downtown Boston, so I get the best of both worlds -- fun SF con, plus sleeping in my own bed.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The OC last night was a flashback to olden times. It was sweet and funny and sad. Oh, and with some scandal thrown in.
The absolute best parts were the references to Grey's Anatomy ("Seriously?" "Seriously" and "...but we learnt an important lesson about family.").

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I do not get MLK Day or Columbus off, and I am planning to spend the weekend fighting off the Ick that seems to have taken residence in my sinuses.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, and I'd like to propose that we do a watch-n-post when the New Horizons spacecraft does its flyby of Pluto. Mark your calendars for July 14, 2015.

How many other people get MLK Jr. day off, and what are people doing this weekend?
I do! I'm going to play trivia with my BFF and her DH tonight, he's competing in that trivia challenge thing in New York. Tomorrow, running errands and babysitting my niece while my bro and SIL go to his holiday party. (makes so much more sense to do it in January. Much cheaper, and no conflicts). Sunday, no plans. Monday will lay around in my pajamas, slow cook something, and watch TV and read.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This whole season has been, hasn't it? It's not making me sad that this is the last year, but it's making feel a hell of a lot better about watching it go.

Ooh. I'm totally there. You might have to remind me, though.

Heh. Ok, will do.

Hopefully most of the insurance world takes Monday off and it's slow here.

The Looni gives us MLK day off, but then asks us to staff public services in the library, which means (plus!) I get to work my normal day at 2.5 pay, and (minus!) day care is closed, so mr. flea eats a day.
I am happy to honor MLK by sticking it to the man for double time and a half.
