Saturday Adventures and Sunday Travels

If you ever get a chance to attend a live symphony performance of the music of Star Wars, you should absolutely jump at it. It was beyond incredible!! I still think that "Duel of the Fates" is the best thing John Williams has ever written... and with the orchestra and the choir right there on the stage? Inspiring and invigorating.

( The other big event yesterday: We got new cellphones!!! )

What else happened yesterday? The Raison d'Etre Awards were announced! Go take a look at the winners, and definitely take a look at all the nominees if you get a chance. The stories were all incredibly good, and there's bound to be something for everyone to enjoy.

As for today? I'm mostly doing a sedate scramble (I'm not on a schedule, so there's nothing mad about it), getting ready to head out to my dad's place just outside Spokane and then continue on tomorrow to my grandmother's house in Idaho Falls, Idaho. And you know what going to Idaho Falls means? AUSTRALIAN FOOD!!!! Yay!!! I'm taking a bigger cooler this time, since we ran out of the meat pies and pasties from my last trip way too fast. Hmmm... need to check our stash of tomato sauce, too... make sure we're not about to run out.

Geek!

Who would have ever thought that the best part about getting new phones would be wastingspending the morning creating tiny new wallpapers for them...

Gotta have Spike & Dru from FFL... and a Serenity background... and Freakazoid...

Fanfic has warped my brain

So, am I the only one who thinks THIS looks like an illustration for every Spike slash story ever written?

It's actually the image on the Men of Buffy (and why does that title just make me giggle like a 12-year-old?) collectors plate. That's got to just about be the oddest conglomeration of photos ever immortalized on porcelain. And, yeah, the hopeless fan-girl in me has been squeeing just a bit over the fact that Spike got front and center. :-p
