So, went and saw Urinetown last night.  It was very awesome. Funny in general, but musical loving geeks like myself will probably catch on to more than a couple amusing takes on other musicals.  I'm going to have to make going to the theater productions a regular event, I was rather impressed.  Those of you that haven't seen it I strongly recommend ( Read more... )

So, woohoo!  Money disaster averted.  I'm headed to D.C. in November to present a piece of my thesis at the ITAA (International Textile and Apparel Association) Conference.  The great news is this.  I've managed to find funding from varying places all over campus to foot the bill.  HUGE weight off my shoulders, since as we all know, college ( Read more... )

I survived Pagan Pride Day.  Barely.  But, I think overall it went really well, and I'm proud of the work I did on it.  Though next time I volunteer for something like that again, someone please shoot me. Thanks to polysekena for the very nice pictures of the event - except that I look like ass in all the pictures I'm in, you'd think I'd only gotten 3 hours ( Read more... )

So, I said this to someone today in an effort to explain my current condition/state/actions, which have all been a little out of sync with the Kat we all know and love. . .I believe that I have now reached the end of my educational rope, unfortunately, I still have a year and a half of school left.

I've gotten to the point that I come into the ( Read more... )

Ever notice how there are certain people in the world, who just the mention of their name makes you feel the need to vomit. Preferably onto them ( Read more... )

The festival went well.  I managed to stay at least buzzed for 2 and a half days with no harmful side effects :).  I also picked up a couple of bottles of mead (nummy) and some liquor soaked cherries (nummier).

However, now that I'm back to the grind I'm still having difficulty with my bearings.  I just feel like I'm spinning my wheels so far this ( Read more... )

So, really, not an indepth thing to say today! I'm headed off to Gathering of the Tribes today.  This is good for many reasons:

it's my first pagan festival, woohoo lots of drunken pagan fun :)

my priestess, Yeye  (Oxun Olakari Al'aye - about halfway down the page), will be there doing workshops, so I'll get to see her, and only by driving to VA, ( Read more... )

So, this is a quote, that a read over the weekend for class.  It didn't really hit me until my professor read it to us last night.  It just made things "click" for me.  It's based on the concept of Dasein as constructed by Heidegger, for all you philosophy fans out there.   Which for me is unusual, because I'm not normally a huge fan of Heidegger, ( Read more... )

So, you ever been told by someone who's opinion you really value that, "you're fucking crazy, but an adult and can make your own decisions."  Yeah, I got that yesterday.  For something I really don't regret, but has certainly put alot of added, ultimately only time consuming, emotional crap on my plate.  So, here's the question. Why show up for the ( Read more... )

if you know me, you know how seriously i take music.  some have gone so far as to call me a music snob.  i don't take too much offense to this because i think it's a misinterpretation of me.  what i take so seriously is the poetry of good lyrics, particularly when put with good music.  and, with my love at how all things poetic can put in a much ( Read more... )
