Tomorrow morning I galavant off to my first SCA week-long war -- and it's The Big One(TM). This will also take me off the grid, so don't expect to hear from me between today and Aug. 11th. I'm all but packed (waiting on laundry) and fully ready for awesomeness. I'm thankful to everyone who has helped already, with advice and loaning of garb and ( Read more... )

Supposedly, the decongestant would cancel out the drowsification of the antihistamine, but coincidentally, those two weeks also included all-time low productivity on my novel ( Read more... )

I don't know how it was to DJ before the iTunes era, but taken as its own thing, the kind of DJ-ing I do (mostly for tango, entirely on iTunes) is a wonderful and enrapturing art form. Managing rises and falls, searching for the balance of the familiar and the delightfully strange, reaching out to people through the artistry of others, a second- ( Read more... )

Last night I had the wonderful opportunity to go with circe_pleading see Nickel Creek perform at the Bluebird during their Farewell (For Now) Tour. As suspected, they put on an amazing live show to a sold-out house. At first we were worried that it'd be impossible to see the band, but securing a position close to the field-bar location and close to the three- ( Read more... )
