This year, the most costume-intensive Intercon game for me is, by far, Cirque du Fey. I've been considering how to do my makeup for it, and tried a mockup of that tonight. While I don't think this is especially spoilery, I don't suggest clicking past the link if you're concerned.
TL;DR Version: One bedroom opening in beautiful apartment in heart of Porter Square. All residents friendly, responsible, fun and geeky! Rent ranges from $650/month to $900/month based on bedroom size, and is up for negotiation. Move-in date some time between July 1 and September 1, possibly with some flexibility if that's helpful! Link to pictures included.
Please feel free to point others at this page! We'd prefer people we know if at all possible.
Is anyone interested in two tickets to the Jonathan Coulton concert this Friday night at the Paradise? A friend of mine can no longer go due to circumstances beyond her control. The tickets will go to waste otherwise, so you might be able to get in on this for less than you normally would!
(I'll also be there, if'n that's of interest.) Thanks!
Are you looking for an apartment, or know someone who is?
Is cost-effectiveness important to you? Say, $500 a month without utility split?
Are you looking for ease to public transit, like right on the corner of a frequently running bus line?
Would you enjoy living with a friendly, open-minded, introverted geek?
If so, I have your apartment!
My boyfriend ab3nd is looking for a housemate to take the place of the grad school/lab subletter as of 2/5 (or as close to that as possible). His place is pretty cool too; it's in Belmont a bit past BCOS for those who know it, right at the corner of a very regularly running bus line. If I was available and he were similarly inclined, I'd consider the space!
Here's a chunk from his Craigslist ad. If you're interested, comment here and I'll put you two in touch. (You can also try to contact him via LJ, but I would not consider that a reliable method.)
As I may have mentioned elsewhere, I have regularly been receiving alerts about possible links to malware on my friends page. Malware from [sweepstakes*and*contests*info(dot)com, asterisks added to not replicate the original address], to be specific. This time it appeared right at the top, and with a little finagling, I was able to see who has posted since I last checked and didn't receive the malware alert on that page. Those users/journals are:
At present, my suspicion is that it's the Davis Square LJ or, more likely, one of the two posters on it. I'm pretty sure I've seen posts from DragonWolf and AudioBoy without issue, and less sure about Dr. Wex and Akiko.
This journal is nigh exclusively friends only. While I consider myself open about my identity, interests and activites, I work in a field that requires careful consideration of what personal information I disclose, when, and for what reasons. Depending on where I work, there is a chance that my clients could come across my journal, negating any possibility of disclosing for therapeutic purposes.
It is for this reason that I also use LJ handles or pseudonyms only in my journal, and ask that others do the same for me. If you reference me in a post or comment, please do not use my real name. I thank you, and my professional integrity thanks you.
At the moment, I have three opt-in filters I use irregularly: one for discussing some of my more "non-traditional" spiritual explorations, one for geeks in the helping professions, and one for the use of consentual power exchange in intimate relationships. While they are opt-in, I reserve the right to choose who I opt. ;)
It is true that I haven't had a (one-shot) LARP for which I've made two items (the hairfalls and the skirt) and practiced makeup. But I'm very excited about the character, and…
