Today's Scary Go Round has a teeny-tiny P.G. Wodehouse inside joke. It made my day. :)

Elizabeth Peters is an evil, evil woman. The more I read, the more I want. I got my hands on a copy of "The Falcon At the Portal" and it just about broke my heart in twelve separate pieces. Wah! Nefret! Wah! Ramses! Waaaaaaah!

I can't begin to imagine how hard it must have been for her to do that to her characters. owldaughter is entirely to blame for my current heartbreak: she introduced me to the series.


In other news, work is work. I have so many things going on these days that I have no time at all to post about them, and more stuff is piling itself on top of that, and yet I still have to wedge sleep in there somewhere. Sleep-deprived!Phnee is not a fun Phnee, let me tell you.

Let's make a grocery list of stuff that's taking place in Phnee's existence these days:

( This got long... )

Anyway, that's what I'm up to these days (and in the near future). I had a lovely chat on the phone with joane and shenlo later on. I looked up their number on canada411.com, since for some reason I didn't have it. I'm not much of a phone person as a rule, but I thought it was high time we have a voice-to-voice conversation as opposed to just an online chat. Not that those aren't a great way of communicating, but sometimes it's nice to hear people's voices on the other end of the line. Also, I got to squee in person about Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic, which is all to the good. :)

Now I'm going to bed. Might post a poll about the aforementioned filter first, but then definitely bed. :)

Okay LJ folks, I need recommendations for some new webcomics, since some of my faves are kind of on hiatus.

Here are the ones I read now:

Two Lumps
Something*Positive
MegaTokyo
ScaryGoRound
Questionable Content
The Order of the Stick
24 fps
Yet Anothert Fantasy Gamer Comic
Vertical Horizons


So. Suggestions?

Now Gren and Bob are in colour! Hurray for shenlo!

I didn't have a very good time at the club's special event, but then I never do at these things. There's always too many people and not enough dances that I know, and I mostly just get overwhelmed by all the people.

I did win a $25 gift certificate to a restaurant in the gay village, so that's nice. The NQG was there, but she was DJing so we barely exchanged three words. She asked me to dance with a friend of hers for the salsa lesson, but he was a lousy dancer as well as shy and he very quickly backed into a corner and wouldn't be coaxed out again. I didn't really have the energy to do much coaxing, anyway.

Well, I'm not sorry I went. It's important to support my friends in their endeavours. I just rather wish I'd been able to sleep instead.

Tomorrow I shall make a point of taking a nap. That'll help.

Woe and darkness and teh sad.

*snerk*

I love this webcomic.

I'll have to see if I can send this to myself at work and print it out.

Something*Positive broke my heart. The evil bastards.

I can't see my desk anymore. I'm frightened.



Hold me.



Time for new tactics. I have ten billion things to do, and probably not enough time in which to do them. I really need an extra superhero around here. You know: "By your powers combined, I am... Captain Prioritizer!"

Why yes, I have had the theme song to Captain Planet stuck in my head for days, why do you ask?

Which brings me to this, which is still funny even after all this time.
