Housewarming Party: tentatively scheduled for the evening of Friday, the 13th of December, after I move in on December 7th. Thanks to Jim for pointing out that it's a Day that will Live in Infamy. Like, even if I wasn't moving in... If you can't make it that day, let me know. It looks like some people just aren't going to be able to make it unless I push it back at least to February. But do say something.

Consider yourself invited if you're on the LJ friends-list, if I know you reasonably well in real-life, or if I've mentioned the housewarming party to you at any point. Otherwise you may still be invited, but I'd prefer you ask me to make sure. This isn't the formal invite anyway, just a feeler for schedules.

Moving: December 7th and 8th. I'll definitely be looking for a little help, and I haven't yet contacted a moving company about the big stuff. With luck they'll have time to haul my couch for me on the 8th...

And a strange dream I had last night: I was a member of the Rebel Alliance (yes, like in Star Wars), and some friends and I were investigating a series of strange occurrences onboard a large cargo ship. It turned out that a lot of low-cost explosive Imperial drones had been deployed and were finding their way through ventilation shafts to the hold of the ship. They were all going to assemble there and destroy the cargo of starfighters we were carrying. In true dream fashion, nobody much wanted to hear about this or do anything about it, so it was up to us.

And also in true dream fashion, one of the bizarre lifeforms I interrogated wanted capnkjb's phone number. ("This girl, is she the archivist?" "Archaeologist, and no, this isn't her." "I give to you, but I have to meet the archaeologist." "Um, I have her cellphone number." "Fine.").

They have cellphones in space? I hope I get coverage.

Life's like that sometimes.


Was it a cute bizarre lifeform?...

It was a little lumpy green thing with tentacle-y bits instead of legs. It had a good familiarity with English except for a couple of odd things like articles in sentences, in true Star Wars style. It wasn't repellent or overly weird except for the legs and the fact that it was, like, two feet tall.

Ok, yeah, never mind.

The Titanic sinking, Lincoln being shot and US Income Taxes: April 15th. Hindenburg: May 6th. Dubya born: July 6th. I'll see if particular occasions warrant the use of these dates, as long as I'm on a disaster theme. Perhaps periodic parties on the anniversaries of major disasters, just on principle.
