Weird dreams lately; Shadows this weekend
- I was visiting Mexico with an ever-changing group of people. Staying in a shack filled with wasp's nests. Participating in some Candomblé ritual (I know it's not Mexican, but apparently my subconscious doesn't), which went very trippily for me, unlocking a latent magical gift. A weird creature shaped like an alligator, but more spiny, chasing me up rickety wooden stairs.
- What seemed to be the historical recounting of an expedition into a cave/mines where some genius decided that "bad air" from outside the cave was dangerous. They capped the mouth of the cave and everyone started to die of suffocation. It was hot and stifling and people were eating their peas and taking showers and celebrating a birthday (there were full living quarters in these caves, apparently!), all with a cult-like denial that people around them were dying.
- Something about how natbudin unlocked the secret of time travel via git.
- Last night my dreams seemed to mostly revolve around romancing witticaster. Um.
Anyway! This weekend I am heading into the woods for Shadows of Amun game 5 (NPCing, of course). I was looking forward to it, but have to say, I'm a little trepidatious having learned that I basically have no free slots this whole weekend. (I suspect this is in part due to the overlap with Cottington Woods--I know Matt and bess are heading off to that Saturday afternoon). Some of that is with my face characters, which should be fun, but tiring. Some of that is crunching, which should also be fun but tiring, but in an entirely different way.
I'm sure I won't regret it, because I never do, but I worry about being tired and grumpy.
On the up side, I went to Savers this week to get a few more accessories for Maria's costume, and found some really neat shoes that match her dalmatica, as well as some trashy costume jewelry I took apart and put back together to approximate Byzantine jewelry. So she'll at least look slightly more regal than she did last time... at least as much as I can manage with this ugly mug.
