yay! the documentary four days at dragon*con is finally online in its entirety! go here to watch it. no, you don't get extra points for critiquing my dancing ability. :D

you probably think my last post was a little uncharacteristic for my journal. turns out my obscure sense of humor is even more obscure than i intended.

i was merely trying to point out that the widely reported date of the end of the world (or rapture, depending on who you talk to) had an uncanny resemblance to the plot of the book good omens.

:D
 

i saw on the news this morning that the world's going to end on may 21st at 6pm.

so, the world ends on a saturday. this saturday, in fact, right before dinner. hmm… this sounds familiar. :D

i found this video on youtube - it's a fan video for shiny toy guns' version of major tom (coming home). it's really nice quality for a fan video.

however, i looked through the comments, and not a single person mentioned hilly, the female version of the ship's computer from red dwarf. i seriously can't be the only one who thought of that... i'm not being critical, i swear. i like this video. but in several scenes, with the camera angle and that hairstyle.... i thought of hilly. :D can you really blame me?

attention etsy sellers! if you have a neato black-light reactive product, and you wish to show how awesome it looks in blacklight, please set the item on a stable surface and use a tripod for your camera (or set it on a likewise stable surface and use the timer feature.) blurry photos don't sell items, even really neato items.

i don't usually watch the abc show castle. according to everyone who watches it, i really need to. i probably do.

well, this week, the episode centers around the steampunk subculture. i need to watch it for two reasons - 1. it's steampunk and b. i'd like to see if it's possible for a mainstream show to depict a subculture in an accurate and respectful way. if it is, csi has even less excuse for that piece of crap episode last thursday.

so, the episode starts with castle making breakfast. a graham cracker, chocolate bar and six marshmallows inside an omlette - it's a smorelette!

*turns green*

i'm kniting a few scarves for charity. the first two were in plain-colored wool. this third one, though, is a little crazy. :D i got some clearance novelty yarn from work - it's a cotton boucle strand plied with a shiny strand with little flags every few inches. very fittingly, it's called tutu. :D

mom picked up the scarf. it's an odd shape, and only a few inches long, so it's not really obvious what it is.
"um.... what's this?"
"it's a scarf i'm knitting."
"i hope it's not for a friend!"

hey! i can see my house from here!
