Just for fun, I thought I’d share. Me, as Princess Leia:
Yes, that dress is made of my roommate’s curtains, why do you ask? Oh, and I photoshopped in the blaster from another picture from the same night. Someone showed up at the same dance–my long-lost brother!

I’m so torn on what to be for Halloween. Mainly because what I’d really like to be is some fairy tale or fantasy character, and I don’t really have any money to buy a cool costume–because of course I’d want it to look like an SCA costume, not the cheapo thing you can buy at [...]

No, not popcorn popping on the apricot tree. [/Mormon joke ]

Just got back from a Scott Westerfeld signing at a library in Bellevue. Was able to get my copy of Midnighters signed (the first book of the series, anyway), and bought my own copy of Uglies to get signed. I’d checked it out from the library back when I was raving about it. Also had [...]

My office at home is a mess. Well, actually, it looked great, but that’s because the boxes I have yet to unpack from moving to Seattle from Boston a year and a half ago are stacked so neatly. The boxes are filled with all sorts of goodies, like bills from Boston that I paid two [...]
