January: In a surprise move, I attended an SCA event. Kingdom 12th Night was held in D.C., and I carpooled with Kevin and Courtney for a few hours of hobnobbing with SCAdian friends ( Read more... )

I spent the day at Ponte Alto's Twentieth (or fifth, depending upon how you look at it) Anniversary. The barony was founded February 29, 1992, so we can almost legally drink or we're just about ready for kindergarten. Oh, wait, this is the SCA: both are applicable!

Anyway, my main activities for the day included being co-captain of the Palio flag ( Read more... )

KASF happened. I worked Troll, perused gorgeous displays, and visited with people I adore. Geeked about Early Period reenactment, bikes and trikes, Downton Abbey, the 1%, and exchequer stuff. SCA arts & sciences event: I'm doing it mostly wrong.

Saturday was a long, long day spent at Unevent in Southern Maryland. For those not in the mid-Atlantic region of the SCA, this is an SCA officers' event where we spend a full day training, reviewing, and talking about our offices. The event usually includes order meetings as well, but this year it was all about officers. My passenger Cassie and I ( Read more... )

What a week. Bossman is on vacation and I'm his back-up and most of Hades has broken loose. He called to check in yesterday and I told him that I had picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.* Things are finally sort of calming down and most everything that our team is responsible for is under control, thank goodness ( Read more... )

My teeth hurt. My jaw hurts. My inside lip hurts. Obviously, I went to the orthodontist on Friday. My upper teeth are moving nicely, he said, and now it's time to focus on the bottom teeth again. He's got an activator chain on the tooth next to the tooth which needs to move and the entire bottom right side of my mouth is howling in pain. I also ( Read more... )

Dental appointment on Wednesday. Teeth look good, but I could be doing a better job of flossing. Well, sure I could except for the braces getting in the way. The hygienist showed me how to work around the wires and porcelain. I'm having some sensitivity to sweet on a back, and luckily non-braced, tooth. I go back in early December to have my ( Read more... )

February: I was thinking about attending a couple of SCA events this month, but home improvements are slooooowly commencing. I do believe that homework will take precedence over SCA.

3/5: University is a big ol' maybe at this point ( Read more... )

2010 Daily Ornament Report - 1 down; located behind the comfy chair.I've finished decorating. The trees are trimmed, the banister is bedecked with garland, and the stockings are hung with care. Now I just need to wrap gifts and stash them beneath the boughs (and hope like the dickens that Oreo will leave the presents alone ( Read more... )

The original plan for Lochmere Investiture to was arrive sometime after noon and hang out with friends until it was time for Alle Psallite to sing before evening court. What actually happened is that Hubbyfink decided to attempt an authorization in Cut & Thrust which meant we needed to be on site around 10am. We were a little late, but it turned ( Read more... )
