I think I've now got everything set for my ritual. The exact halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox occurs tomorrow morning at 10:56, so that's when I'm going to try it.

I remembered reading in the Wolfstone Codex that Rowe's play The Fair Penitent was actually a fictionalization of real-life events. Evidently his ( Read more... )

I've been working on an idea to help a friend control her lycanthropy, and I've been making good, steady progress, but I just realized that I'm under time pressure. As part of my project, there's a ritual that I've absolutely got to perform during a High Sabbat, which means Imbolc, Beltaine, Lughnasadh, or Samhain. I was aware that Imbolc ( ( Read more... )

Last night Dot and I went to a graveyard in Colma to intercept and dust a vamp before he could engage in "fangs of mass destruction program related activity". Tiff wasn't available (off doing the whole rehab thing, no doubt), but I figured that between a Slayer and a witch we wouldn't have any trouble. Even when we saw that the vamp had brought ( Read more... )

So, there's a lot going on in my life right now. We're having serious growing pains at Vampster, and if we don't get a cash infusion soon our infrastructure could collapse. I'm not looking forward to ceding control to a bunch of VCs, but what else can we do? And I guess in some ways it would be nice for us to have a few more resources at our ( Read more... )

I think I've discovered a powerful new spell! Well, ok, it's not all that powerful. It's called Bast's Evergreen Box, and evidently you can use it to enchant a cat's litter box so that, no matter how often a cat uses it, there's never actually any cat poop in it. Bast is the Goddess of Cats, so it's not surprising that this sort of spell would have ( Read more... )

OOC: private

Dot wrote this in her blog:

...it was Max who destroyed it. And boy did she ever. There was this huge explosion and parts of it were thrown into orbit!! Did I mention that Max kicks ass?

And maybe she's right -- maybe I do kick ass. Dot's pretty smart, and she usually knows what she's talking about. And it was kind of an awesome ( Read more... )

The Woolfs had a resounding victory over the SCUM yesterday! Well, ok, it wasn't all that resounding. It was a 1-0 victory. By forfeit. In a game we probably would have lost due to the SCUM's unhittable post-human demon goddess pitcher. But, hey, a win is a win, so I'll take it. Barring any unexpected losses to teams we're supposed to beat, we ( Read more... )

You would think I would've learned my lesson after ending up in near-poverty when i-BS went down in flames, but no. I'm pretty much immune to lesson-learning. I still pour every cent I earn into my library. Many of the books I buy (at hefty prices, mind you) turn out to be worthless fakes, but I'm finally starting to get pretty good at figuring out ( Read more... )

Putting aside my Ifurita-related (and other) angst, there are actually a number of things in my life that are heading in the right direction, such as ( Read more... )

I may have said too much to Ifurita about the Lothario's Crown I took from Asaba. I didn't mention it by name, but I did give more details than I should have, and it's not beyond the realm of possibility that she'll figure out what it is.

Not, of course, that that's necessarily a bad thing if she can be trusted. Between her mad nanotech skillz, my ( Read more... )
