The big one is StrowlerFest in St. Louis, Sept 10-12. OMG, it's going to be like running away to join the circus for a weekend. BUT BETTER. The days are filled with workshops and ( Read more... )

About a week ago, I talked about this Paleo Nutrition / Primal Diet thingy I'm doing, my metrics for declaring it a success, and the caveat that then, having only one week's worth of numbers, I didn't feel I had enough data to have a proper hurrah ( Read more... )

Holly Carp, what a weekend!

• In a three-day frenzy, we cleaned the house, and I mean CLEANED. ALL the laundry is done, including the weird costume stuff and have-to-be-washed-alone blankets and whatnot. DUSTING happened, people.
• In addition to the cleaning, I cooked enough food for a small army, including: smoked ribs, turkey, and homemade barbecue ( Read more... )

Saturday, we went out to the Renaissance Festival to celebrate the BPL's birthday, and we had a good time despite the rain. After, we did a costume change into modern clothes and went to dinner at my dad's. And it was great. After that, khryseos and I went out to catch the ( Read more... )

I was sitting in my apartment, and had the itch to walk the city. I'm not sure why, if it's because I wanted to say goodbye, or because the weather is cool enough that I can wear my leather jacket again, or what. I hit the pavement ( Read more... )

I have a coffee shop across the street. Okay, it's a swanky wine bar, but they also serve coffee. And while I try to hold onto my counter-culture angst about frequenting a posh wine bar, it's good coffee. And they give me a 20% green discount for using my own mug ( Read more... )
