News:
Erin has a new job!
We moved into a new apartment!

It is now more true than ever that Erin might be a hipster. Can you be a hipster and an otaku at the same time? Patrick Macias
might be evidence of this.


We are getting married!


Promo: R5 Central Podcast with Ninjaconsultants guest hosting.

Erin absolutely refuses to go into David's Bridal because of the heart shaped apostrophe.
Noah won't set foot in a commercial jewlery store, because it turns out diamond engagement rings are a giant scam!

Here is a Wired Magazine article about the archaeological dig in Turkey that Noah mentions.

Noah later opted not to steal a ring from the dig, because he's seen Midnight Express

Engagement ring facts at Wikipedia

Article on the Byzantine Empire

Erin now works at 4Kids, home of the American dub release of Yu-Gi-Oh! and One Piece.

We'll be going to Anime Boston and New York Comic-Con

We have coverage from New York ANime Festival and Anime Weekend Atlanta

Review: Crystal Triangle -- it's not that crazy.

Conspiracy tropes from the 1980s:

Lovecraft Mythos (owing at least partially to the publication of the Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson, popularized by the game Illuminati
by Steve Jackson Games.

The
Nemesis star (or comet) which proposed a wandering celestial body whose near contact with earth would destroy it (known to Erin from the Silver Nemesis episode of Dr. Who)

The Dark Moon (or counter-moon), supposedly the second, unseeable (and therefore arcanely powerful) moon of the Earth.

What's the catch? I signed up, but I'm still convinced there's a catch...somehow. A free phone number all my own? Too good to be true.

You have to use it at least once a month, or your number is re-assigned without warning. It's harder than it seems to keep up!

Sometimes new numbers you get are someone else's old number so you'll get a lot of calls for someone selling a car or a house.

I'm waaaaay too old and published to be a hipster. The ones around here in SF all say they are working on a book, but are just sitting around in the cafe all day futzing around on AIM or playing with iTunes.

So if you get published, you're exempt?! What if, theoretically, a hipster author published a book about hipsters - either fiction or non-fiction - would they no longer be a hipster?

I'm sorry - I totally judged you by your clothes. I don't think I'm a hipster either, but I do wear a lot of threadless.com shirts.

I prefer to be called a "chick" rather than a "dude". (Noah rarely responds to comments.)

When I wear this shirt, it is in no way ironic.

Hipsters are nothing but nerds who can't admit to being nerds, so I think it's entirely possible to be a hipster and an otaku. That said, Erin's earnestness regarding her interests are what preclude her from being a hipster despite her neighborhood, while her social skills preclude her from being an otaku. And since she can't be Hasidic, I therefore determine, through the infallible scientific method outlined above, that she is Hispanic.

Persons denying the insanity of Crystal Triangle because "they've heard of these conspiracy theories before" may be insane themselves, and not in the "quirky" indie film romantic-comedy sort of way. Familiarity does not imply normalcy, especially not when dealing with Conspiracy Theory Grand Unification.

Craig Baldwin's Tribulation 99: Alien Anomalies Under America--which incidentally is your next viewing assignment--is the ultimate 45-minute proof of this.

You could afford an all night open bar if you stock it solely with Yellowstone brand bourbon. You can buy gallon jugs for like four bucks.

The only downsides I can see are:

- Gallons of leftover bourbon in apartment
- Guests blind from alcohol poisoning

Congratulations!

And my husband and I also have similar views on the whole wedding ring sort of thing. Though we weren't quite as cool and selected silver rings decorated with a celtic knot pattern. Kudos for you guys being so inventive, and the ring is very cool!

*hugs*
