I'm going to be competing in Milwaukee next weekend at Midwest Brewhaha. If you're up that way and want to see some awesome roller derby, that's the place to be.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

In silly, but potentially super-helpful, news...I've entered Cagney in a Petflow 'cuties pageant.'
If he wins, I can donate 500lbs of food the the New York Avenue shelter of the Humane Society, here in DC. This particular shelter does not get the big bucks and their charges are mostly unadoptable dogs and a metric ton of cats (it's litter season).
If you are of a mind to help and would rather not bother going through facebook, the direct link to his ballot is here.
He would also win a year's worth of kibble, which you know...would be really nice.
Many thanks to those who have voted already and to those who will.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Hey, DCistas!
I am having a 4th of July party at my house in College Park, and I would love to see some of you there. Said party is doubling as a birthday party for Captain America, because Avengers fandom has eaten my soul. There will be a 'happy 94th, Steve!' cake and bomb pops. 1940s dress is encouraged. Email me at my profile addy for the details.

We have about $585 for the F2F. According to Pix this will cover the hospitality suite and some snacks and give us about $150 towards prom. If we have prom at our house chances are the $150 will cover whatever we need. If we are having it at the hotel then we will need to pay for the room for Prom and for food and drink through the hotel. Pix should be getting an exact quote on what that cost would be tomorrow, but it will be at least a few hundred more.

For those who have LinkedIn accounts, and who may have other on-line accounts that have the same username/email and password combo...my DH made me change all my stuff and linked me to this. [link]
The comp sec sector is, in the main, treating this hack seriously and advising proactive passwords changes for LinkedIn users. Better safe than sorry.

We are almost there! I finally got in touch with the catering coordinator at the hotel, and we’ve established the food/drink minimum for one of their rooms--I’m going tomorrow to check out our two options.
With the help of some very generous Buffistas, we are now only $315 short of what we will need to cover the HS and Prom at the hotel. ND and I will kick in $100 of that as well as provide sound and BBQ food Friday night.
I’d like to book tomorrow if you all think we can raise the final couple hundred dollars. That total will include two nights of the hospitality suite, open bar at Prom for 3+ hours (I’m working out details now) and snacks. What say you? Discussion in F2F thread.

There's an opening for a senior writer/editor at my organization in the Triangle, NC. If you or someone you know is interested, please contact me at my profile addy for more info. It's a pretty good organization, and much of the crazy that had my pulling my hair out last year has been resolved.

My friend L. and I made a video in order to win a concert in my backyard by our favourite musician, Joel Plaskett. The video is a bit silly, but it contains many adorable cats (sorry Hec) including mine. Please watch, and if you like it, please help us win by liking it on You Tube. [link]
Thanks!
(My friend L. and her boyfriend did all the heavy lifting. i.e. directing and editing.)
