Lights out (uh huh)

Today, as an environmental awareness action/publicity stunt, the city of San Francisco turned off lights on selected major landmarks for an hour (8pm to 9pm), and invited its residents to do the same. T wanted to get a look at the scene from a distance, and maybe get some photos, so we headed over to Oakland to set up a vantage point at a park along the bay. We met up with R, S, and E for dinner beforehand, and then the three of them joined us at the park, hoping for a good look at the show.

( Photos and more! )

Burning questions of our time

Born out of many discussions T and I have had regarding how often it is reasonable to cook and/or go grocery shopping, I present: ( a poll! )

Please feel free to pimp this, I would love to get a broad sampling. :) Thanks.

Ficbit offering

Somehow I ended up spamming tonight. This was not my intention, but that's what happens when comment-fic expands beyond usable space...

Notes: Written for Trick or Treat 2007, for bottle_of_shine's prompt "Baralai, Gippal, Pirates." Airship 'verse. It would have been posted there, but I broke the comment limit by 400 characters. Rather than prune, I shall inflict it upon you all...

( Gippal sat on the edge of the deck, legs dangling over the side, and Baralai cringed. )
