Should auld acquaintance be forgot . . . meet them for coffee!

Last night I *finally* managed to call devafall and arrange a meeting time. I was a little nervous, as despite warm feelings of "I like this guy", I can count the number of times Misha and I have been in the same room on one hand. I need not have worried.

elisandra, mslulu and I found Misha and his sweetie tiggrrl to be welcoming, warm, funny, and at least four flavors of Geek, which is always a good thing. There was much conversation on topics ranging from light to Important, we got to hear some new music, and we all three came away with the delighted feeling of having met very cool people we plan to keep. Yay!!

Numfar! Do the Dance of Joy!

I love learning new words. This one I'd never heard, though the phenomenon is one I'm familiar with:

Mondegreen (mon·de·green, noun)
A series of words that result from the mishearing or misinterpretation of a statement or song lyric. For example, I led the pigeons to the flag for I pledge allegiance to the flag.

[After 'Lady Mondegreen', a misinterpretation of the line 'hae laid him on the green', from the song “The Bonny Earl of Murray”.]

I urge all US Citizens -- whether gay, straight, bisexual, or whatever -- to go to the Million For Marriage site and sign this online petition.

Normally I don't think online petitions are worth much, but as tiggrrl said when she posted this link, the Human Rights Campaign is a good organization with a lot of smart people, and they can probably use this support and actually make something of it.

Spread the word, folks. Fairness in the US is a good idea.

I just stumbled upon an idea for a one-shot LARP that is perfect for a dinner party, with 6 to 8 people.

Oh good gods, it ought to be great, if I can get the details right.

I'm thinking it ought to be ready later this year.
