What are people doing this weekend? Who (in addition to Nicole and the Reasons) has big Halloween plans?
In three hours, we're going to be invaded by a dozen 5 and 6 year olds. Everything is ready, though, so we're just chillin' until they get here.
You want to meet the real me now?

the name Damien grew in popularity after the movie came out
See, this? Is just *asking* for trouble, by which I mean Freaky Death.

Umm. Korean Beef Delicacy. My bf was thus dubbed on LJ, semi-long it-was-funnier-at-the-time story. Technically he's only half-Korean. And no, he doesn't know about the nickname.
I need a bat house.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I ended up developing a crush on a guy named (well, stage named) Damien in the 80s, and since then have totally wanted to name a putative kid that. I figured that people wouldn't remember for that long. I'm kinda chuffed and kinda dismayed that other people took a shine to the name too.

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

In their most recent work this year, the research team reported that a single human neuron could recognize a personality through pictures, text or the sound of a name -- no matter how that person was presented. In tests, one brain cell reacted only to Oprah Winfrey; another just to Luke Skywalker; a third singled out Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona.
Each neuron appeared to join together pieces of sensory information into a single mental impression. The researchers believe these cells are evidence that it only takes a simple circuit of neurons to encode an idea, perception or memory.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh.

This tickles me. Any one of our cells would react to Buffy!

And I'm seeing American Idiot at Berkeley Rep tonight. 'Suela got me an ushering gig, so I am all dressed up per dress code. Someone asked me if I was wearing a costume.
I really enjoyed it. I expected a richer plot than there was, but in the end it was just exhilarating hearing Green Day's songs sung by an ensemble cast like that.
It is beautifully staged and choreographed. I would go so far as to say it was my favorite dressed stage ever.
