i hate these goddamn things. oh well; this blog had to jump the shark at one time or another - it might as well involve robots.
snaps to Julie O and angelika for this one (LJ side).
a bit more laid back today, but no apparent drop in attendence. spoke for awhile with a girl dressed as sophitia from soul calibur 2; she is a costumer, and we discussed design, misconceptions of others in regards to her outfit and the SCA. she also designed the outfit for ’strawberry spankcake’, which [...]

mc chris was awesome, dirty talkin’ and representin’ all the white hip-hop nerdish. he’s done voice work for adult swim, most notably ‘mc peepants’. my favorite bit: “allright ya’ll, i wanna see those muthafuckin cellphones in the air!” predictably, almost everyone in the audience proudly held up and waved their phones and [...]

just got autographs from the PA guys. mike (gabe) was quiet, didn’t say much; jerry (tycho) was introspective when i asked him about how it felt being a celebrity now. he paused, thinking about it, and looked a little sad. ‘it makes me feel bad’, he said. ‘i hate that now [...]
PAX! much that is good is here. many of my kin, as with the star trek cons, roam these halls - yet there is a different frequency which they ride, if only by degrees. gone is the sci-fi memorabilia, the wandering klingon, the kirk/spock slashfiction. instead, i find my brethren indulging in [...]

humans have asked about the absence of the ‘comment’ feature; rest assured, it was not taken away because i grew weary of your thoughtful responses. rather, there is a problem with the template - mainly, that it is as old as blogger, and was created in a dark time, before things like comments (and [...]

Y: someday VR will be so advanced, it will be nearly indistinguishable from reality. people will be able to pretend to be anyone they want in cyberspace - any historical figure; marilyn monroe…
X: i was just getting ready to say marilyn!
Y: …abe lincoln…
X: a gay abe lincoln.
Y: …and indentity theft will take on a whole [...]
sometimes, when you’re confronted with an important decision or you’re at some sort of crossroads, you find yourself looking for living metaphors. ‘if i catch this feather, it means that i’ll get the job.’ ‘if i take the long way, past the lake, it means i haven’t sold out.’ ’she loves me, [...]

rialto beach: on the western edge of olympic national park; light sand, billions of smooth stones, black sand, driftwood the size of giants. sea stacks, rocky island remains of ancient shores, a million years lost to tide and time; peace and beauty prevail.
ruby beach: further south; bleak, windswept, alluring with its tide pools full of [...]

caught up with an old friend today; mike ward, who i went to high school and college with. he moved out to seattle some 10 years ago with KP’s help, and promptly began work at Microsoft. he still works there, so needless to say, dude’s doing well for himself - lots of cool [...]
joriel in our rooftop garden
we took the tour of seattle by boat today; quite fun and informative. i have a newfound perspective of our city that i much appreciate - my favorite bit was the approach to the downtown dock, seeing the city coming right up to the waterline, with the mountain looming benevolently off to the side.
