Those are very cute dresses, msbelle and Jesse!

I never read TWOP, but I still can't wrap my head around it going away. It's supposed to always be there, like Cute Overload.

Today is writing and sewing, tomorrow is Emerald City Comic Con! And keeping an eye on the Mage: The Ascension Kickstarter, because it's run by some peeps I know.

(I'm really sad/annoyed that our household budget means we can't back this Kickstarter, because not only would I like a copy of the Mage 20th edition book, but they're going to reach the stretch goal of creating new POD and ebook versions of my favorite bit of game fiction ever, the Penny Dreadful novel.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is it too much to ask that you fucking do your job?

Someone's getting a "below expectations" on their next review.

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

I am really hoping that someone jumps in at the last minute to purchase the site, even if the full-time employees don't come with it. I mean, the forums alone have just such a massive amount of fandom history.

Huh, I wonder if OTW could help.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I still use twop for mainlining recaps since I don't have tv anymore. I don't use the forums, but it's upsetting it's going away on its own merits, let alone for Jess' DH's sake.

Seriously. Isn't Ho-Yay from TWOP? And on a personal note, I always got a certain number of fic readers from the TWOP boards, even though none of them ever commented.

Art Crawl!!!

I got more than $32.00 in the settlement policy so I purchased The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook . . . something I've wanted for a while.

I got to work this morning before anyone else on my floor and the lights were all off. Trained from 8:30am to 1pm, then went into meetings. Thankfully my 3:30pm was cancelled, because I have a peer review I need to write before I can leave.

Oh, my god, somebody tell me to write this peer review so I can get out of the office, buy booze, and go home to celebrate the fact that I don't have to get up at 6:30am tomorrow and I don't have any meetings!

Ugh, peer review: why so difficult?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I also have a new work tablet to play with, but I don't get to until I write this peer review. Booze & toys! And am I writing that peer review?
