Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We're going to a folk concert tonight in a venue pretty much down the street from us. Should be fun.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Anyone know anything about a gemstone called Larimar? I never heard of it before.

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

Here's the Wikipedia entry on larimar. Based on an image search it looks lovely with silver.

Great doubles match with the Williams sisters and Zheng/Yan.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

My MiL sells jewelry with Larimar and knows stuff about it, but I can't remember anything. It's very pretty.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Video of DragonCon's attempt to break the world record for number of people dancing to "Thriller". The dancing's a little ragged, but dude, the costumes.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Would it suck to have the name Dick Hardstaff?

Okay, reading COMMA, and just had to duck in and say, for reals, the actor who played Oliver Wood in the earlier Harry Potter movies is named Sean Biggerstaff.

With Sean being Gaelic for John, Little John and his quarterstaff might really *be* a buck-and-a-half staff. I mean, it just makes you wonder, you know?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So far, I've been on this conference call for 20 minutes, waiting for the Tokyo guys to dial-in.

And a rehearsal video where a guy in full Alien costume is dancing:

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

Yay dancing alien! Totally helped me recover my mood; last night I was kept awake from 3am on with a stomach thing (I suspect a sideswipe of food poisoning; had it before, this felt VERY familiar) so today has been low-key, sore, and unhappy.

Dancing alien helped. Yay!

Did you watch the full video? It had a shot of Flying Spaghetti Monster dancing.

I saw her (assuming it's the same person) the first year she was there. I asked to be touched by her noodly appendage.
