Life Support Holiday Party Post is up here - officially the party is on Christmas Day, but the post is open indefinitely for anyone who wants to join in.

Usual party style, threadhopping welcome, etc. Happy holidays!

<3

I feel I should apologize for how amazingly slowtimed Boo's latest EP has been. My uncle has been in the hospital for two weeks and he was doing better, until yesterday when we had to take him back to the ER. He's better now, but I just wanted to explain why my tags have been sort of slow in coming sometimes. I'm doing the best I am able and I am loving the threads, so please be patient with me and I will tag as often as I can.

Thank you!

Long story short, there's an apartment building fire about a block away, and it seems as though it's done somethin to the power. We get anywhere from 10 seconds to two minutes with power, and then it cuts out again.

Tagging from an iPhone (that I can't even charge!) is a pain in the arse, especially when all four of my pups are in the bar. I'm not even gonna try to fire up the computer again until we get a solid 30 minutes of uninterrupted power, and I've no idea when that might be.

This affects Gus Dickinson, Dr. Rusty Venture, Tim Bisley, and Jools.


ETA: Power's back, but now the internet seems to be flaky. At least we won't freeze.

Hey guys. Just a real quick note to let everyone know that I am still tagging up on Doc's latest EP -- and do apologize for the slow over the last two days. With my sleep schedule being backwards from most it's tough to coordinate sometimes, and a combo of tired+busy knocked me right out of sync. Yesterday I was busy, and had to work last night -- with no mobile tagging ability, thanks to the Blackberry Blackout 2k9 (Redux) -- but I've hit a round of tags back on that post and will hit more back after I catch some much needed sleep.

(Four hours sleep does not a happy Ali make, heh.)

*returns you to your regularly scheduled backroom programming...*

A note of business:

This is my last DE for 2009! I am off for Christmas Eve and Christmas, then flying off to Spain til January 4th. Feel free to cover if wanted or needed; see you all next year!

A note of not-business:

What is the most unfortunate piece of fandomy merchandising you've seen? For your fandom or any other?

FYI: I will be absent for the next two days, participating in holiday-related activities. Alyx's EP is still open for as long as it stays on the front page, but I won't be able to tag back until Thursday evening at the earliest.

Merry Festivus, y'all.

There's a note left for Malcolm Crowe at the bar right now.

A lot of us talk about how some characters are missing accurate information in their userinfos. God knows I'm guilty of this, so here is what I propose:

Post the entire text of your pup's userinfo in a comment. Do not just post a link, please. Others can come and comment with questions they would have or things they know about that pup that they would look for in the userinfo, and that could give you the information you're looking for to edit back into your pup's userinfo.

Dumb idea? Maybe. But at least all of you guys will help me with mine. :D!

Apologies to everyone threading with Mel, but I'm falling over with a head cold. Will pick up threads tomorrow!

I need your OOC input, if you could be so kind.

Did everyone survive the snowpocalypse?

Sunday is over where I am, and there is no Sunday self pimp post yet! How is that possible?

So, bring out your shiny and show it to the world! (Or at least the part of it that reads the Milliways Backroom).

Five years ago today, I posted two lines to my mun journal:

*stares at clock in disbelief*
Wow. milliways_bar really is like pure, undiluted crack.

Oh, if only I knew.

*SQUISHES THE LOT OF YOU* Thanks for an amazing (and amazingly fun) five years, guys. It's been a blast, and I still ain't planning on leaving any time soon. <3

Happy hour is up!

I'm sure with new apps and suches for the past few months and all that good stuff that this is long overdue. And I said I'd keep up with it so I am. So if your pup needs a room in BAR then comment here.

Leave the muse's full name (or first and last since it's less confusing for me) and their room number and I will gladly add them to the list. Thank you! :-)

This was a struggle--my inner Skadi had a question she really wanted to ask, and on account of the snowy weather here, she is being exceptionally loud and pushy. But my inner Sqrl does not want to think about cold weather; he's happy curled up on the couch and eating hot foods.

So! Your pup is going to be stranded alone on a tropical island, and can bring one (and only one) article of clothing with them. What do they bring? A pair of shoes would count as a single article of clothing for these purposes; an inflatable raft is not clothing; shoe phones will not get reception on the island; and Batman's walking-arsenal outfit is only an option if your pup is, in fact, Batman.

Alternately: My dad is a big scifi/fantasy fan, and he is looking for audiobook recommendations, since he travels so often. He's looking for recent-ish things if possible, from the last ten years or so. As far as recent stuff he likes Neil Gaiman and John Scalzi, recently listened to The Name of the Wind and Snow Crash and liked both of them, and has Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell next on his list. Anybody got recommendations? He's willing to give anything a try. Things you know are in audiobook form are good; if you don't know if they're out in audiobook, recommend them anyway, and he can check them out. Thanks in advance! ^_^

At home on my Friday off, trying to get my act together to go to Boston, so I'm bringing you a story.

DE is late up today because I took my car in for an oil change. I get along well with the guys who work there and we have a running joke about bringing in donuts for them. So I finally did, and Mike was so excited! We joked around and whatnot until my car was ready, and he said he had a present for me.

:O I say, and he hands me a little snowman with a santa hat on. "I'm supposed to give this to customers who buy four tires, but you brought me donuts. They're like...little tires."

It was so cute and beyond the fact that I really want to ask him to go to the movies with me (because I'm a lonely person sometimes and he seems funny? SO AWKWARD SEND HELP) I was really feeling the good karma, y'know?

Thought I'd share. :)

For me, anyway. Because I was dumb and forgot that I'm driving home after school today and thus couldn't take an evening Happy Hour. So to make up for it, this thing is open until it isn't Friday anymore, got it? I have a few hours before class, but after that it's slowtime until possibly tonight but more likely tomorrow afternoon.

Find your fun over here!
