According to Bernie, I am somewhat capable of carrying on a conversation while mostly asleep. Usually it's just head shakes and nods, but pretty often I actually say things. But just because I can form words doesn't mean they make much sense. There are two particularly good things I've told Bernie while mostly asleep. Apparently in both cases he ( Read more... )

I'm sure you're all very tired of hearing status updates on my health and schedule by now, but writing things out helps me get my head on straight about what I'm doing and what I should be doing. Slowly feel like I'm getting myself back together. Diet, exercise, and skincare routines have been put back to where they should be. The cold is almost ( Read more... )

Well, now I don't know what's up with me physically. I've been feeling a little generally off recently without really knowing what to attribute it to. I thought maybe I was working out too much, but the most recent snow storm gave me three enforced days of basically doing nothing, and it didn't seem to improve things. I've been eating well again, ( Read more... )

There's this concept called "autonomous sensory meridian response," or ASMR, which describes kind of a pleasant tingling sensation that accompanies deep relaxation. Not everybody seems to experience it, but many people find it's triggered by whispering and other forms of white noise. A lot of people on Youtube have made videos where they roleplay ( Read more... )

You may have noticed how little I've written lately. Well, that was because for the last week basically any spare moment I had were given over to finished up the writing, printing, and packing of Brockhurst. Festival weekend now has been satisfactorily concluded with all responsibilities delivered ( Read more... )

I've been tossing an idea around in my mind and wondering whether to go with it or not. I've begun preparations in earnest for going to Intercon, and there's been some working out dates for Festival lately, and that's got me thinking about larp. I've not been able to devote much attention to larping lately, and I really miss it. I haven't written ( Read more... )

What's a swamped graduate student to do when she's hankering to write larps but swore she wouldn't take on a project that would take her focus away from graduating? Join up with an Iron GM team at the last minute and bang out a game in a weekend!

I got a call from natbudin the weekend before last asking if I wanted to be on their team after they lost ( Read more... )

Now that Mrs. Chadwick is taken care of, I have a little bit less to worry about. Last week, with having to finalize show preparations on top of having an unusually high number of errands that necessitated driving all over creation, was pretty exhausting, and now I am a little burnt out. Of course, burnt out has been kind of my default state in the ( Read more... )

Final weekend of Sherlock Holmes performances begin tonight. In an effort to ward off any more debilitating ill health episodes, I am working to stay calm and hydrated. I mean, it's very unlikely that I'll get another migraine, this week has been weary but way less stressful than the last, but I really don't want to deal with that again ( Read more... )

*Sigh* Just got a bunch of new responsibilities given to me at work, which is nice and all, but are accompanied by other changes that are kind of inconvenient. Spent a lot of today in the position of either wait for instructions and come off as not proactive or helpful enough, or try to use my own best judgment and risk handling it wrong. Hmmm, ( Read more... )
