Announcement about the sale of Diana's Grove
There aren't many people on my friends list who haven't seen this already, but here it is, just in case ( Read more... ) -
I can get behind this one. Thanks, Universe!
Often the Notes from the Universe show up in my email and I say, "Meh." They're fun in a fortune cookie sort of way, and that's about it.
But every now and then, I get a gem like this one that arrived this week, and it makes me smile for most of the day:
It's got nothing to do with being a perfect, goody-goody, selfless, sacrificing, spiritual ( Read more... ) -
Wherein Jason talks a lot about Rites of Passage
When last we spoke, I was holding forth on the “everything else” bits from last weekend’s Rites of Passage weekend. Now, here’s the other part.

Rites weekend: Some moments (and outtakes)
Truly, I have no idea how to distill the experience of last weekend's Rites of Passage event at Diana's Grove into anything resembling a coherent narrative. There are just too many images filling my mind and my heart. The culmination of the weekend was Saturday night's ritual, and the processing I'm doing from that is still ongoing to an extent ( Read more... ) -
Things happening this week
In a few days I'll head down to the Grove for Rites of Passage weekend. Lots to do between now and then, and even more to do during the event itself. I think I've finally reached the point of starting to get nervous about how things will go. It's going to be a large group - by far the largest that I've seen there - and that's excellent news. There ( Read more... ) -
Geocities post #12: Rambling about agnosticism
Oh yeah, I said I'd be doing this weekly, right? Oops. This one is from December 18, 2001A friend of mine once asked me why I’m an atheist. An odd question, especially since I’m agnostic, not atheist. Based on the blank look I got from him in response to this statement, it occurred to me that maybe agnosticism isn’t as well understood by the rest ( Read more... ) -
Slogans
Stealing this from rabid_chemist because it is way, way too fun.
( Cut because it makes noise, which in my defense I didn't know because I keep my computer at work muted ) -
Forcing myself to be responsible
Tonight I was planning on going to The Moth Story Slam with artemis112. This is the first one of these in Chicago, and I only discovered it last week while I was listening to their weekly podcast. To say that I'm excited about this is quite an understatement ( Read more... ) -
Many ideas, most of which won't work
This seems to be the way of it when we're developing a new game. Lots of stuff sounds perfectly reasonable at the time, so it is added to the game. Then, upon looking at it a couple of weeks later, we shake our heads, say, "Um, no," and gently remove the inane idea before it can corrupt any of the good stuff. Then we get enamored of another tweak, ( Read more... ) -
Home again
Back from a challenging (but positive) 4 days at the Grove, and I'm feeling very grateful to have had some downtime today to try and prepare for getting back to my routine tomorrow. I plan to make an early night of it and get to bed soon ( Read more... )
