Very much same. It's like coming home, only without any negative baggage.

Mich

Honestly we just threw together one on Squarespace. They have templates for wedding sites, which made it really easy to just replace the relevant info and pictures with ours.

Mich

I now always think about this every February 14th. So, it worked.

Mich

Dear you:

Calling us back here was definitely an overall bright spot to this year.

Love,
Boss

Mich

I'm thankful that you're all still (mostly) here when I pop back in.

Merry Christmas!

Mich

Robot roll call! I actually managed to get ahead by a day this year. It just started happening randomly; I would finally get the swing of the writing right when I was about 200 words away from the daily goal, and suddenly it was 400 words later. It all worked out really well, since I traveled for Th...

When I hear someone say "you don't own a cat, a cat owns you' or similar s*****, I can't help but feel they live a sorry, embarrassing existence where they get value from a polite chuckle for their bland witticism. People who don't like cats tend to be terribly rude about it! It's dumb and the...

Mich

I knew them well enough to miss them, but not enough to ever learn who they grew up to be. Man. Uh, anyway... Last week I drove between Portland and Boise, and had to return the rental car as the very last step of finally being back where I belong. I rented from a car lot in the airport, because PD...

Maybe I should explain that I can't become with child if either of us reads about other people's children.

I could have sworn it was one of those things that was contagious over text. Huh!

Anyway, weekly backups: cPanel's little friend to all database admins.

Since last winter with the polar vortex I have been anxiously awaiting proper winter weather. Finally, the biting cold! I can put on my hat and my sweater and drink hot tea and stock up on Irish cream.

And now they're saying 4-6 inches tomorrow, maybe! SO EXCITED.

Mich

This 10 year old girl trashing veterans in Super Smash Bros made me think of Ender playing with the "big kids" in the game room.

Too bad it was probably all staged.

Mich

Confession: I'm super happy to see posts from Shannon and Mich. SUPER happy.

Shut up baby, I know you love it.

Mich

I put a ton of time into doing the worldbuilding for this though, so I want to get a real pay-off from it in terms of telling a complete story. I'm trying to use my actually built world this time. It's really helped me flesh out things, and actually have stuff to go into tangents about or just hint...

Mich

So I finally, finally finished Angel, one year after I started.

I didn't think I liked it that much about halfway through, but by the end, as it ended, I realized I'd miss it a lot. That final shot with Lorne...

Mich

I am doing it again! You may notice even I kept away from this thread last year: I figured I had neither the time, energy, nor ideas.

But this year I have an idea that I've been prepping for since... sheesh, May? I have a map and towns and people and an outline. It's for reals.

What about you, elfy?

Mich

Oh man, I started just lurking back in March when I got a new job and came home to collapse. Now it's already October! But I am here, at least for the nonce.

Mich

I've been playing Watch_Dogs, which is set in Chicago, and naturally I've been thinking of our favorite Chicagoans. I have no idea how accurate the map is, so naturally I just compare it to Nolan's Gotham, but I do have to wonder.

Mich

Man, it has been forever since I've seen Caddyshack...

Speaking of pets and pictures... LOOK AT THESE EMOTICONS.

It's definitely something my relatives say--but half of them are North Dakotans! However I can definitely imagine some people I work with saying it.

Mich

During a recent viewing of a Game of Thrones episode with some friends I started whistling the theme song, and my friends all marveled at my apparently excellent whistling skills. It made me think of something zero once said about how people apparently think he's an excellent whistler. Anyway! zero!...

Mich

I finally saw Frozen and everyone was right and I loved it and I'm listening to the soundtrack and I always feel like an idiot when I fall in love with a movie but I'm pretty sure this one is for real.

Mich

Yay! BUILDING WEBSITES IS FUN.

On triumphs, I played a tabletop RPG with a bunch of people I've never met before in my life, and had fun, and I think they liked me.

Mich

Dear East Coast Yous:

Be safe! Geeze. Sounds like it's kind of a hellish, snowy nightmare over there. People have died SHOVELING? That's nuts!

Mich

Oh man! I had a dream. Wil was in it and was a huge jerk. What more is there to say? No, but really, it was a D&D/tabletop RPG game, played with myself, Wil, my coworker, and a character probably made up for the dream. The unknown person had to answer a phone call, and while we were waiting my c...

Mich

I saw that. Stupid lady should keep her mouth shut. Wow! Strong words. I never really saw the whole "Ron and Hermione" thing as making much sense in the long-term, but I ended up liking them as a couple. Harry and Hermione didn't make sense to me at all. But I mean hey, we're after the fa...

Mich

She looks beautiful! And so much hair!

Mich

http://denimtherapy.com/ Might that be helpful? Ha! They weren't that expensive. Just a pair of Old Navy jeans. I don't know if it would be worth the shipping! I'll look into it. As to patching, to be honest I find patches embarrassing. It's stupid, I know, but it's a hangover from when I was a kid...

Gluten is good! support your local wheat farmer

That is actually a good question. Do you know if the gluten-free fad has significantly impacted wheat sales? Are companies buying less wheat? Or have they just increased their product lines?

Mich

Here's an odd one: over Christmas I managed to tear an inch-long tear in my new jeans after a stupid accident involving polished wooden floors and a towel rack. The tear is right about at "short shorts" level, thus making the jeans entirely useless as jeans or even, were I to dare, as cuto...

Mich

My ex is gluten-free, which is super-convenient due to living in Portland and thus everything being gluten-free if you want it to be (and actually not having trace amounts of gluten). It never really came up, other than picking where to eat, and when I made her Chex Mix. I did it with gluten-free pr...

Guyssssss, I bought a new coat from Nordstrom online and it hasn't even shipped yet and I want it! (1)

This wouldn't even be possible if my stupid Christmas bonus was a Nordstrom gift card. (2)

Mich

I get far, far too anxious about shopping. Today I set out with the intent to purchase a new coat with my Christmas bonus (a Nordstrom gift card that could afford a low-end all-weather coat) and a new sweater in that magical mix of materials that doesn't attract cat fur. I got more and more frustrat...

I think the decline of pweb is getting to me.

We're just sleeping.

Soundly.

But we shall rise again.
