So, hey, thanks to everyone who came to the party on Saturday! It wasn't huge, but it was much fun and so good to meet/see y'all! Happy! :D I got a lot more "maybes" and people who couldn't make it than on the original date, so I kind of thought that nobody would show up, but it was actually at a nice level... not too huge or crazy, and everyone getting along well. :) I made way too much food, but it all came out smashingly, so it was worth it.

Once all the dust settles from roommates moving in and out, a house party may be in the works, especially seeing as so many people had scheduling conflicts with this one.

Speaking of, if you came to the shindig and I don't have your e-mail address, pass it on, so I can give you a proper invite next go-round. You know, as opposed to the far-easier-to-miss "yelling on LJ" method. ;)

Also, speaking of food, I now have a food blog: The Girl Who Ate Portland! I was kind of testing the waters, to see if I could do regular blogging by reviewing food establishments, but I think I'm going to fold the restaurant/bar reviews into a more generalized food blog. So, there'll be reviews, recipes, experiments, and so on... and I won't have to foist ridiculously long posts about vegan baking upon my unsuspecting LJ readers, heh.

Yes, I'm aware it's still ugly; I'm going to fix that as soon as I find some time. :)

(EDIT: it's syndicated on LJ as girlateportland. Apparently, "girlwhoateportland" was too long. WTF? ;p)

We did a fashion shoot yesterday, and I think we got some excellent shots. The makeup kind of took forever, but the end result was very much what I had in mind. The location worked out fantastic... it had some of the most photogenic grass I think I've ever laid eyes on, as silly as that probably sounds. XD I'm also pretty sure there aren't many photographers who are aware of it, so it can be our ubersecret, bwahaha.

Anyhoo, that's all for now. :)

Oh hai! I just was forwarded the keynote speech by Wil Wheaton at PAX. It's pretty funny: http://www.pennyarcadeexpo.com/PAX07_Keynote.mp3

I was in the dark and did not know about it, so I thought I would share in case you missed it too. heh. :D

oh awwwwesome!!

Seriously, the part when he went on about how arcades teach accountability for being a jerk was awesome. :)

There were SO many awesome parts, but that was a particularly great one. ("If I comment on his mother's sex life, and my role in it...") I don't know if you read his blog, but he was worried that his speech wouldn't go over well - I don't know why, because it was UNBELIEVABLY good.

That's awesome :D

You should get an LJ syndicate thingy for it, so I can be nice and lazy and still read it.

I agree with above about LJ syndicate thing

Also I totally somehow missed reading about the party and probably woulda been able to come if I'd known about it.

So here is my email address:

For the next time you have one.

Man, I posted about it like three times! FAIL >:O

But seriously, thanks! I'll put you on the list for future party goodness!

When was this?

I've been away from the internet most of the week between going to SF and then getting back into the swing of working and what not. Sorry!

Heh, two of them were within the past week, but the first time was at the beginning of the month. ::shrug:: No worries!

Oops

I also did not mean to make my comment a direct reply to yours.

I'm so used to the old LJ themes where there is a post comment button on top and bottom.
