Wedding Recap

Posted by: meaplet on: May 27, 2008

If I were still on LiveJournal, this entry would start like this: I spent the weekend hanging out with tokyo_apple, melfinatheblue, and sarsmicama (and other, LJless folks) at diadem_chi‘s wedding. Of course, now that I’ve started that way, I can’t use anyone’s real names, can I? Or at least, I must be very eliptical and […]

Decisions, decisions

I could leave my apartment right now and go to a birthday party for WordPress. Or I could go to bed, like a good girl. OR I could watch my third Star Trek episode of the night. (ETA: Or, apparently, I could spend the next two hours writing up a weekend recap)

Week so far in review

Posted by: meaplet on: May 1, 2008

Remember that time when, instead of doing any work, I went to conferences all day and my chief business was to scmooze and make connections and take photos like the one below of MC Hammer? That was a sweet week. Check out my album on Picasa for some other photos, including more celebrities. It is […]
