It has been A Day. Not a bad day, just... A Day. I am really tired. But! Today marks daily posting for three weeks in a row, which I have never done before -- not even back in my heyday, circa 2003-04, when I posted several times a week. The only other time I've managed anywhere near this many consecutive posts was in 2011, the 30 Days of Vidding ( Read more... )

here's luck: And on that note, I need to go to bed. We've been on the phone for like five hours.
renenet: Really?
here's luck: Uh-huh.
renenet: Huh! Five hours, seven minutes, and thirty-seven seconds.
here's luck: And yet I will probably talk to you tomorrow.

Having managed to evade the WisCholera, I have instead come down with a less immediately unpleasant but rather exhausting chest cold, which was passed along to me by the local friend who criticized my tomato-growing methods a couple of weeks ago. We went out for ice cream shortly after I got back to town, at which time we had the following ( Read more... )

here's luck: It's not a rez! It's a support! So they can grow tall and strong!
local friend: It's a cage.
here's luck: ...yes, but it's a supportive cage.
local friend: You say that now, washichu* girl. You're planning a BIA garden, I know it!
here's luck: You can ( Read more... )

sdwolfpup and I were working on vid-related stuff last night. What follows are excerpts from the conversation that, perhaps inevitably, resulted.

We agreed afterwards that we can locate this conversation firmly in stage 14 of the Life Cycle of Vid and Vidder.

sdwolfpup: Why is vidding so hard? *whines*
here's luck: because it SUCKS
here's luck: it is a ( Read more... )

renenet's post has prompted me to share one of our exchanges from yesterday's conversation:
renenet: Thank you for talking to me when I'm weird.
here's luck: I think that pretty much covers our entire friendship.

renenet and I spend a lot of time on the phone. Sometimes I take notes. Then I forget about the notes for months. Occasionally I remember to round them up and post them. This is one of those times.

Standard disclaimer applies.
