Sunday Chore Day
I often end Sunday thinking I didn’t get “enough” done or that I didn’t do anything. Today I played rather a lot of Warcraft but I also got a lot of other shit done, so I am making a list. This is entirely for me so later I remember that no, I am not lazy.… Continue reading

I’ve been missing the feeling when we close up the gaps between us
For myself, a record of the Frank Turner shows I have attended. Real, real bummed that as of now his closest show in 2024 is at Boston Calling. I don’t like the idea of music festivals, they feel overwhelming. Also, it is too expensive. Also, it’s Memorial Day weekend and Panteria will always win. Lost… Continue reading

You can get pretty good at feeling pretty bad
I didn’t make it very far into January on my “picture every day” project, but in my defense I got COVID. On Sunday January 7 I felt like shit – I was freezing cold, like in my bed with the electric blanket turned up to 10 and still could not get warm. So I knew… Continue reading

I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel
Way back in 2008 I attempted to do a “take a photo every day” challenge. I still have those photos, they are largely not good and I only made it until February 8. I have decided to try it again this year, for reasons I can’t fully explain. I know that one of the issues… Continue reading

Intention
Well it’s January 1. Every post on social media lately seems to have been about how 2023 was such a horrible year, and it kind of was, but was it any worse than the preceding horrible years? I don’t know. I don’t remember the last time I reached December 31 and thought “what a good… Continue reading

Anxiety anxiety, you give me no mercy
For the past week or so I have been having anxiety attacks every single day. I feel like I am just white knuckling it to get through. No one knows this. It is not externally obvious when this is happening to me and I haven’t told anyone for ??? reasons. Yesterday I took one of… Continue reading

Pennsic 50 – The Woods Battle
The fighters and fencers of the East Kingdom in the SCA refer to the Pennsic woods as church. I never really understood it. Then, back in 2019, I was retaining for our queen during the heavy battle, and just being in those woods, seeing the fighters, feeling the energy – it started to click, and… Continue reading

Pennsic 50 – Peace Week
I wish I had found the time and brain space to blog while I was actually at Pennsic, because now that I am sitting here trying to tell the stories, they are all a jumble. So this may be less a cohesive blog post and more a collection of random thoughts. Because it wouldn’t be… Continue reading

Pennsic 50 – Arrival
I’m going to try and get a few blog posts in while I’m here at Pennsic but realistically this may be the only one – there is always so much to do, so many people to see, so little time. We left home on Saturday morning and drove to Buffalo – the drive was uneventful… Continue reading
