Just signed up for Yuletide. I was quite amused at the character list participants had assembled for the Dresden Files, as it includes a "Frank Hendricks." I know that's the name his player in the Hearts and Minds RPG came up with for him, but I wasn't aware it was so firmly entrenched in fanon! Somehow I felt like a party pooper, correcting it to Nathan.

In other news, Kristin sent me the photographs she took of me as a psychotic, murderous queen. I have a freakishly long neck and evil-looking clavicles. It's good to be the queen!

Books I am currently in the middle of: (in the order they were started)

The Vor Game, Lois McMaster Bujold
The Sellsword, Cam Banks (a long-time friend of Jim Butcher--we palled around at Comic Con)
The Wordy Shipmates, Sarah Vowell
The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman
The Queen's Bastard, C.E. Murphy

and now
More Information Than You Require, John Hodgman

Self control. I should look into it.

But why, you may ask, is my brain going in so many directions? Perhaps this is because I have done so many awesome things in the past month.

September 15: Attended the Audacity of Jokes Obama fundraiser. Among other notable comics were Kristen Schaal (Flight of the Conchords, The Daily Show) and Jonathan Coulton.

September 29: The Mobile Pie Hole! Enjoyed free pie and Pushing Daisies swag in Times Square as ABC pimped the season premiere.

September 30: Kevin invited me to see Simon Pegg at Comix. I LOVE YOU, KEVIN!

October 1: Pushing Daisies premiere! I made delicious pies for my guests and wore a cute dress. Afterward, Kristen helped me hang the Serenity travel posters I've been meaning to hang for months. I also put up the Pushing Daisies dot I was given by a Mobile Pie Hole attendant. It's about two feet wide, and it looks fabulous on the wall!

October 2: Bought Nation! Listened to audio book Thursday and Friday.

October 5: Toured the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons as a part of Open House New York.

October 8: Saw Sarah Vowell speak!

October 10: Long-time family friend Tex invited me to a performance art production, for which he composed the music. It was very bizarre, but it was great to see him and his family again!

October 12: Kristen and I went out for crepes, then she used me as a model for her painting of a psychotic queen. I'm still waiting to see those photos, Kristen! Later, Tex invited me to watch the Cowboys game, then I treated him to gelato.

October 15: Debate Night! And better, my beloved college roommate Ko spent the night!

October 16: Kevin and I went to the Obama campaign HQ to get training for phone banking, canvassing, and other forms of volunteering. W00t!

October 17: Invited more friends out for crepes! Crepecrepecrepecrepecrepe.

October 18: Planned to spend the weekend phone banking, but woke up on Saturday a nasty cold and couldn't. Lamesauce, body.

October 20: Ko came to town again! She and I and one of our favourite college professors, Veronica, went to Vesselka for shenanigans and raspberry blintzes.

October 21: Saw John Hodgman and Jonathan Coulton speak and perform, respectively, at Barnes and Noble. Fig. 1, Jonathan Coulton summons a great white whale through the sheer force of his awesomeness. Fig. 2, John Hodgman sees whut you did thar. Unfortunately, he does not see the great Brobdingnagian hand come to squish his head and filch a copy of his new book, More Information Than You Require.

Have I mentioned how much I love living in New York?

18:17 @boymonster I am dubious. We may have to thumb-war for the title at the next Comic Con. #

11:48 Was hoping to do phone banking for Obama all day, but that's not happening. Maybe data banking. But do I want to expose volunteers to cold? #
19:24 Took four-hour nap. Clearly, volunteering will have to wait for tomorrow. #

Kat and I have invented a new game: Flan In the Cupboard! See how many ways you can describe the slow collapse of the McCain campaign in a pithy metaphor.

Me: like a punctured tire
Kat: An air mattress with a hole you just can't find.
Me: a week-old mylar balloon
Kat: A Coke left out all night.
Me: Violet Beauregarde in the hands of the Oompa-Loompas
Kat: Those giant balloons the day after the Rose Parade.
Me: A randy young guy who just discovered the hot chick he picked up at a bar has a suspicious bulge.
Kat: A bitten-into dumpling.

I think you can tell what I thought of the third Presidential debate. :D

Man, watching political anything is infinitely better when I'm with Ko. Yes, my beloved college roommate crashed at my apartment last night! She flew out of JFK at crazy o'clock this morning, so it was my job to deny her beauty sleep through obnoxious giggling and general tomfoolery. We heckled the debate with an enthusiasm that would shame Rocky Horror audiences, exchanged much-needed back rubs, and squealed over photos of Ko's new gerbil and the surprise babies that came a week later. SO CUTE! She'll be in and out of NY the next few weeks, and I look forward to more of the unquenchable silliness that accompanies our reunions!

I took Kristin to Creperie today! I had the prosciutto, mozzarella, sun-dried tomato crepe and part of a strawberry, banana, nutella crepe. She had the sugar-lemon crepe and a strawberry nutella crepe. Good LORD this place is amazing! I swear, they put crack in these things. I'm taking another group of friends on Friday.

Afterward, Kristin took a bunch of photos of me pretending to be a psychotic, murderous queen for reference for one of her paintings. I had ridiculous amounts of fun! Why didn't I go into acting again? She also gave me a two-minute skateboarding tutorial, which was super-snazzy.

She said she'll send me the reference photos when she gets home. I can't wait to see them!

00:46 @ABCPieHole The show always makes me crave pie! It leaves my heart aglow, but it's hazardous to my waistline! #
12:21 Cool. The "Life on Mars" remake-remake is solid! Now trying to gauge if it's worth my time--there's just no replacing John Simm in my heart! #
12:27 @edeainfj I remember JStewart saying months ago he hoped McCain would be nom, as McC vs O/HRC would raise standard of discourse. Yeah right. #

13:35 Man, Obama is doing a rally in Philly today? I wish I'd known! I'd travel a lot further than that to see him speak. #
13:46 Obama is talking about pie again, and how he wants to have a Sweet Potato Pie Contest in Philly. Oh, Obama! I will make pie for you! #

10:28 At a rally today in Chillicothe, OH, Obama just spent a full minute talking about pie and how delicious it is. I love this man. #

10:13 @txvoodoo Also, how is referring to a fellow senator as "that one" remotely okay? Could you get any more patronizing? #
10:49 *chortles* Hot Political Topics, according to Twitter users: my friends, Tina Fey, maverick, Not McCain's Friend, Cindy McCain, Ayers #
12:51 Freaking uterus. #
13:26 @mkcho73 Don't make me hurt you. #

18:03 Woo, gonna see Sarah Vowell! *grooves* #
18:49 @jimmyaquino Sarah Vowell is speaking at the B&N in union square. It starts at 7. Still a few seats, if you can make it here quickly! #
20:04 Yay, Sarah was awesome! I got a copy of her book signed for Renata. And whadayaknow it, home in time for Pushing Daisies! #
20:14 ...Except how Pushing Daisies starts at 8, not 9. Yeep! #
21:02 Apparently someone is actually saying good things about the Life on Mars remake-remake. Does anyone know if it's any good? #
21:07 @fourteenacross I'll totally look the other way, and I'll tell the police you have an alibi. #

I need to get back to actual blogging. Twitter has made me complacent! Unfortunately, this is not an actual blog entry, but instead a 1AM conversation over IM. I went to sleep soon afterward, no doubt to face wacky, delightful dreams.

Gypsy: *leeeeeeeeeans*
Priscellie: *snugs*
Gypsy: Middleman/Pushing Daisies fic - does it exist? And if not, WHY NOT?
Priscellie: OH MY GOD WHERE IS IT
Gypsy: THESE ARE MY TWO GUARANTEED HAPPY SHOWS. THEY MUST BAND TOGETHER TO FORM A CONGLOMERATE OF AWESOME.
Priscellie: Okay, I just conceived of Emerson/Ida grumpyawesomeness. By rule 34, it must exist. Therefore, Middleman/Pushing Daisies fic must exist!
Gypsy: ... OMG YES.
Gypsy: UNIVERSE. IF YOU LOVE ME EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT YOU WILL HAVE SOMEONE WRITE THIS.
Priscellie: OMG OMG OMG
Priscellie: Emerson can knit her a Baby Heydar cozy.
Gypsy: X3
Gypsy: Chuck and Lacey would bond... Olive and Wendy could swap stories about their bosses...
Priscellie: The Middleman could take Aunts Lily and Vivian to see old-timey movies. Somehow, they would end up in a 3D feature, and Lily would have a red-glass monocle and a blue-colored eyepatch.
Gypsy: Brilliant!
Gypsy: DUDE, they both take place in unspecified vaguely fantastical locations.
Gypsy: (Unless they don't. Did they ever say where The Middleman took place?)
Priscellie: other than an illegal sublet, shared by two photogenic young artists? Not that I recall.
Gypsy: hee
Priscellie: and Ned's power... totally crossoverable.
Gypsy: Soooooo totally.
Priscellie: We are lunatics. But only the best kind.
Gypsy: You know you love me.
Priscellie: *hugs your brain*
Priscellie: I love mah Becky!

13:51 @PSUbrat I haven't! #
17:05 @sinspired That's because you're awesome. Was it worth the wait? #
21:01 Keith Olbermann has muppet eyebrows. Like Lee Pace. #
21:10 McCain wants to appoint the founder of eBay to be the Treasury Secretary? That's ADORABLE. #
21:14 McCain accusing Obama of being a crony. Obama trying not to LOL. #
21:50 The woman in the top row, wearing a blue shirt, looks like a kindergarten teacher fondly watching her kids perform in a spelling bee. #
21:56 HAIR TRANSPLANTS? GOLD-PLATED POLICIES? TRY UNINSURABLE PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. BITE ME, MCCAIN. #
22:00 @mkcho73 Word. The man is herding cats! Cats with flamethrowers. #
22:09 Heeeeeeee, kindergarten-lady has smeagol eyes! This woman is so entertaining! #
22:20 @hodgman Did you see McCain's grimace at "Bomb Iran"? He looked like he had severe indigestion. Check, indeed. #
22:42 @edeainfj "My Friends" makes me think of the Sweeney Todd song. Hilarious that it's currently one of Twitter's "Hot Political Topics"! #
22:44 @hodgman Obama leads NH 53-42 according to Electoral-Vote.com. I think he's safe. #
23:25 @fourteenacross Sarah Vowell is speaking at Barnes and Noble in Union Square tomorrow! I wonder if I can get permission to leave work early. #

11:32 @edeainfj Which sketch? I only watched the Tina Fey bit. #
11:34 @boymonster Congratulations! I know pearls, silks, or colored precious stones are traditional for the 12th, but Batman masks work, too. #
13:05 Palin basically said to women that if they don't vote for her, they're going to hell. Want to punch her in the ovaries. bit.ly/3PZynR #
13:39 Also, in that clip, Palin SQUEES. VPs do not squee, unless they are VPs of their local Doctor Who fanclub chapter... #
13:41 ...and someone on LJ has posted a picspam of David Tennant looking all rumpled and lickable. #
13:41 Now whenever I squee, I will feel slightly sullied, knowing Sarah Palin has squeed too. #
13:58 @sinspired Is no one condemning you, lined up like lemmings you led to the water? #
21:58 Vice-Presidents of Doctor Who fanclubs are also permitted to squee over John Barrowman's new puppy! bit.ly/2J44YF #
23:49 @boymonster Or it's like Rob Thomas' show "Cupid." #

09:08 @viennateng April 7 is going to be the best day ever! New Jim Butcher, new Patrick Rothfuss, and now new Vienna Teng? JOY! #
09:25 Eating cinnanom toast! And yes, that's a typo, but seeing as how my thoughts consist only of "NOM NOM NOM," it's an appropriate one. #
12:30 @mkcho73 But are you two great things in one? #
18:26 @sadbhyl How is PhauxCon going? You'd better be having crazy fun for me! #
19:35 @boymonster I vote you build a robot army. Those are always fun! #
22:31 @fourteenacross *cries jealous tears* #
22:32 There's something hilarious about seeing "The Mega-Minicast" cited as a reference on Wikipedia. #

01:21 @jimmyaquino Absolutely! Do you work Thursday? I'll bring you a slice! #
01:28 Apologies for the "Don't you wish" comment earlier tonight. Looking back, I see it was super rude. Not sure what was going through my head. #
01:29 @mkcho73 I actually have some homeopathic remedies, but they can't be taken within 15 minutes of food. They wouldn't make good pie filling. #
01:45 After 4.5 hrs in kitchen, Pear+Cream Cheese done, Peach Ginger oven-ready, and Apple+Gruyere crust made--in fridge overnight. Phew! #
01:52 @sinspired *offers Homeopathic Mood-Enhancing Pies to Repubs slighted by Pelosi; urges them to buck up for nat'l interest, stop being petty* #
08:36 @mkcho73 I want cinnamon toast now, too! I'll have to make some tomorrow morning. #
10:11 @boymonster Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries! #

14:25 Dear Universe, unless you are writing about ninja mountains, the proper spelling is "sneak peeks." Love, me. #
15:18 @ABCPieHole My excitement goes up to eleven. Currently browsing recipes for pies to make for my viewing party tomorrow! #

20:40 I'm making PIES! Tart Apple+Gruyere, Peach Ginger, and Pear+Cream Cheese. Don't you wish you were coming to my Pushing Daisies party? #
21:42 @Wraithmaker What's your email address? I'll add you to the invite. :D #
00:03 Two sheets of wax paper + poster tube = impromptu rolling pin! Oh, gruyere crust, you'd better be worth the effort. #
