Thoughts on peerages, apprentices, squires, and protoges
I've been seeing some of the conversation that's going on on the steps about the peerages and squires, apprentices and protoges. Though I've avoided much of the conversation, I read the original message that started it off as well as a few others. Thinking about this, I feel that the original author and many of the other people chiming in on the ( Read more... ) -
FedEx delivers rain sleet or snow, but that doesn't mean they should...
I spent a good part of today helping FedEx get off of my driveway. Although the temperature finally went significantly above freezing at my house, there still was 4 inches or so of snow over most of the driveway. Yesterday I managed to get the truck stuck partway down the driveway as we tried to go out to run an Egil's meeting. I have chains for ( Read more... ) -
Midwinter's Debrief
Yesterday, (as a majority of the people on my Friends List already know), I feastocratted midwinters. Though it was my first time doeing so, I did enjoy the process and am glad that everything came out as well as it did, and Iearned a lot about the process should I ever be insane enough to do it again. Everything came out more or less as intended ( Read more... ) -
Egil's is Over! (Almost...)
Well, it's finally over and tonight I get to sleep in my own bed. We've pulled the last of the baronial stuff off of the Egil's site today (except for the haybales, but they'll be done tomorrow) and everything has gone better than I could have imagined. The weather was great, for the most part, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves ( Read more... ) -
I am a Renaissance Nerd!
Well, I figured I'd take this quiz because I'd confuse it... =) My far too many hobbies and interests shows up in the degree that I got in all of the other categories, but at least according to this quiz I'm in the right profession. The only one nerd type I know I'm not is the music nerd as all I'm good at as far as music goes is listening.

Pavilion!
Well, after 17 years in the SCA I'm finally going to have a pavilion! I've been planning this project for years and it's gone through several iterations for one reason or another (getting married had a lot to do with it... suddenly I needed more space!) but finally I'm doing a round pavilion with a single center pole with radiating spokes from a ( Read more... ) -

Graduate School Sucks...
Although I am not in graduate school, my wife, elfie_chan is. The reason why this sucks, however, has more to do with the fact that today is our 4th wedding anniversary, but, due to graduate school, I had to drop my wife off for classroom observation at 7:30 this morning and she won't be done with school for the day until 9:00 PM tonight. At least I've ( Read more... ) -
Sewing Room of DOOM!
Well, the sewing room upgrade (phase 1) is almost complete! Yesterday, I bought my first serger (a Bernina 1300MDC) and today I finished putting together an ironing table, which measures 24" by 48". That, along with a 4'x8' cutting table should finish getting things set for serious sewing. At some point I still need to finish the plasterwork and ( Read more... )
