Guy: "You are all invited to a party tonight, provided you bring boys for me to make out with."
Person between us: "Hmm. Most of the boys I know who make out with boys and are available are available for a reason."
BetweenPerson also had an anime party to go to that night. Oh it is good to feel like I am around my people. (I don't even do anime, but it was familiar and thus comforting.)
I'd been considering taking in a matinee showing of Serenity this coming Saturday with
trijinx and wondering if I could rope anyone from work into going. But on the Red Line I saw an ad for the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival (10am-6pm that day) which I went to once while I was in high school and which had lots of free food samples. It's at the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center -- near the Roxbury Crossing Orange Line stop.Not that I can't do both, of course.
Oh bugger, I totally missed some of the Huntington stuff I wanted to see. Not that I would have had time to see it anyway.
Must remember that I wanna see:
STAGED READINGS OF PLAYS AT WORK
Constant by David Valdes Greenwood
November 5 @ 4:00 PM & November 6 @ 7:00 PM

Things I am on the wrong coast to see include: OMWF as live musical. I keep thinking Queer Soup, but I suspect this will be an actual professional job.
Ooh, La Llorona. (Which reminds me of the Weeping Woman lesbian YA novel I read some years back, and then of course prompts a sudden desire to read variants on the story and then write a version myself.) 21 Taras and a Burlesque are also obvious yays.
Anyway.
Layna's party last night was lovely. Met good new people, as I tend to do at her parties.
Terri [name spelling corrected thanks to Layna's post] had a pink sparkly button that said "Ooh, Shiny," and I asked if it was a generic fannish thing or a Firefly thing and she said it functions as both and we chatted about Whedonverse some and that was happy.
Chris had a button that said "My name is Harry Potter. You killed both my parents. Prepare to die." which I loved and also a "First they came for the verbs . . ." one which made my brain hurt ("First they came for the verbs and I said nothing, for verbing weirds language. Then they arrival for the nouns and I speech nothing, for I no verbs." Google tells me it's Peter Ellis on alt.fan.pratchett)
We played Cranium, which I learned I am rather indifferent to (I had never played before) and Apples to Apples, which I quite like. A disagreement arose during the game, so of course I turn to LJ to help resolve the dispute.
Which would you pick for Least Sensitive?
The U. S. Supreme Court
9(47.4%)
Charging Rhinos
10(52.6%)
(A different card altogether won the round, so this poll is merely for the vindication of certain players.)
Random joyous/fannish things:
No one told me (until today) that Serenity: The Official Visual Companion also contains a shooting script for the movie. *wants* (Why does MLN not have this in stock? Tried VirtCat, and it gives me a placeholder entry for CMARS. Sigh.)
There are great Serenity movie icons here (fourth to last is amazing). Spoilers, duh.
caladan_dd did a couple fanarts to The Curse of Chalion. Love the second one -- the headshot. Am now tempted to read the book. 'Cause I don't have enough to read already. *rolls eyes at self*And I'm sure everyone's seen the b&w of Nathan Fillion looking hot in EW, but it's worth mentioning again.
People are starting to post advance warnings for Fandom Secret Santa signups -- Secret Slasha,
yuletide, btvs_santa, serenity_santa, vm_santa, etc. Am fairly certain I don't wanna sign up for any of them as I have so much on my plate already, though it feels weird to not even do Secret Slasha.Must also reread "Greece Remembers" to decide if I really am submitting it for Uninvited.
I never did pimp
sexonastick's ambiguous consent challenge, did I? I am falling down on the job.I need to watch Night Watch at some point just for this scene.
And I think I'm done for the moment.
