Board life announcement: we're just starting the next play-by-forum game of Battlestar Galactica in the Gaming thread: billytea "Gaming 1: You are likely to be eaten by a grue" Feb 17, 2013 5:03:41 pm PST. This is our seventeenth game ("Nilly In Space"). BSG is not only fun to play, it can also be fun to watch. The game includes space battles, deception and betrayal, and allows for some role-playing too. Any lurkers who'd like to watch are very welcome to do so (quite aside from the fact that we couldn't stop you even if we wanted).

Hey, so I know many of you oredered through Knitpicks for Maria's afghan yarn, and of course just knitters in general. I'm on my phone, so I can't link to the apology, not that they sent it to me anyway, but they were compromised. My card got hit for $500 today, so I would strongly encourage those of you who ordered through them to check your accounts at the very least and consider closing out your applicable credit or debit cards.

Hey, folks who aren't subscribed to the F2F thread, people are starting to talk about this year's event. It's on the East Coast this year, so go on over there and start a-pimping!

This would be more properly posted in Supernatural, but I'm not caught up in there, so I'll let Supernatural-lovers (esp. Dean Girls) see it here. Today's Qwertee shirt:

My political analysis of the Canadian Science Fiction series Continuum, now airing on SyFy. Spoiler: I don't think much of the politics of the series and don't buy the show arguments that right-wing tropes represent "Moral complexity" or "shades of grey".

Tim and Joss both up for Bram Stoker Awards from the Horror Writers Association.

I'm not sure where the nail polish box gets discussed, so I'll put this here.

If the person who has, or is about the have the box is interested, I have three bottles to add:

Loreal, wear extraordinair, lush velvet (deep purple/brown)

Revlon, cherry burst (bright red)

Sally Hansen, Xtreme wear, gunmetal (just as you'd expect...gunmetal grey)

eta: I also have an Avon Pro lipstick in Vibrant Nude which is kind of cool in that there is a fliptop on the lid that contains a shiny/glittery cover shade...and a wee mirror!

Or, if anyone else would like them, I will mail them posthaste.

My profile addy is good.

I'm still too far behind in Supernatural to make a timely post, but for Supernaturalistas, Qwertee is relevant to your interests today (and tomorrow):
