I didn't really want to get involved with things SCA-wise because I find it stressful and full of bullshit whining (yes I mean it). Every time you question someone they get all bent out of shape as if you are personally slapping them in the face, and since I don't post 'I'll go and cry now' messages when I post things I come off all wrong and the ( Read more... )

sometimes I wish folks would actually check stuff before getting their shirts in a knot. One of the things I hate about the SCA is the plethora of rules and regulations that are a mess to keep on top of, and worse, are arbitrary and just plain stupid. Any sort of peerage or royalty can usually do whatever the hell they want when it comes to ( Read more... )

So now the swine flu is showing up in BC, of course tons of folks here head down to Mexico for vacations, hell we did that last October. So it isn't too far fetched to say that if people were going to get sick from something in Mexico that it would hit here ( Read more... )

about stuff that I used to enjoy doing, and things that I now find annoying. Mostly this has to do with the SCA and how my interest in it has waxed and waned over the years.

I've really ( Read more... )

but since we live on a major street in a 'winter' town that actually spends money on snow removal, so we're looking outside at bare streets. Of course I have to plow through 2 feet of snow to get to the road, but once on the street its easy going ( Read more... )

So on the yahoo group we were talking about things to do, and I mentioned I missed playing recorder with Jenn and the Consort, and a bunch of people started talking about recorders, so I pulled my baby out of the box I've kept her in and played around with her...she still sounds great though I'm majorly out of practice. Still it made me happy to ( Read more... )

Day 2 at sea;

Heading South at knots location 20-21.35N 117-50.04W west of Ensenada Mexico bound for Mazatlan. Surface conditions slight. A rather entertaining day today; seems that most of the younger crowd were hiding somewhere else on board yesterday (one of the bars perhaps?) and today were out in force in the pool area and posing as much as ( Read more... )
