Hmph. Seriously, that is pretty much how I'm feeling. Each year this time I get a little grumpy, and I'm not sure why. It could be the PC crowd that gets insulted when you wish them Merry Christmas, or insists on labeling things like "Holiday Tree" (instead of Christmas Tree). I just want to grab them and shake them and yell "The name of the ( Read more... )

Let me preface by saying I really, really like my longsword. On the other hand, by time I got to face off with Conner late in the day I could barely lift it - much less make an effective attack (hell, I could barely lift his sabre...). Partly because I don't spend a great deal of time daily with it I know. When I practice targeting or whatnot, it's ( Read more... )

I ended up having to get a new phone, which does not use the backup service that my old phone used. This means that poor old Estienne has lost just about every number that he had in his phone. If you wish to be added to the phone, call me so that I can re-add you please!

It's been a while since I posted anything...oops

Pennsic was great. Tiring, but great. In many ways, I wasn't ready to leave. There were things I still wanted to get done, folks I wanted to talk to more, fights I wanted to get in, etc. On the other hand, sleeping alone on an air mattress that has yet to decide if it really leaks or not (sometimes it ( Read more... )

So, last Jan I got a new desktop PC, and Jackie got a new laptop (which I've appropriated for email an stuff). I got a Dell system, and was very happy with it, until the other day - when the hard drive decided that it had had enough and didn't feel like working any longer. I have backups for most of the stuff on it, but there were some files that I ( Read more... )

looks like my schedule is set pretty much for Pennsic, as far as fighting is concerned anyway ( Read more... )

Aim name is scajunkie - go figure!

I broke down and installed Yahoo Messenger - you can reach me at edecond on there if need be.

I won't be installing AIM. Ever.

Went to the docs, and thankfully amputation was not indicated.

Got the tetanus booster, and some nice Keflex to ward off infection. I hate needles. I hate tetanus worse...

Best news though, was that I lost 5.5 pounds! Go me! 14.5 to go!
