Sunday and Goals
I got up earlier than I normally do on Sunday (need to change that habit) in order to write out the talk I gave in sacrament meeting today. I'd known about the talk for a month, which is somewhat unusual, but even with the extended time period I spent most of that time just thinking about how I wanted to approach my topic. I was asked to speak ( Read more... ) -
Startitis
Periodically I get bit by the urge to start every single project I have, right now at this very minute. Or, if not every project, at least something new. Despite having a huge pile of things already in progress ( Read more... ) -
Organisation and Creativity
Yesterday I spent most of the day helping my mom go through things in the house and going through papers of my own that had been stored (loose) in a bag up in the attic. The end result of the day’s work was a more organised attic and a bag less of stuff. At this point I have a much better handle on what I still need to go through and where it is ( Read more... ) -
Hello, universe! No, I am not dead....
I just took a year-long plus hiatus from the world of blogging/online journaling. Sometimes these things happen. Anyway, I have returned from my hiatus ( Read more... ) -
Reset
January, February, March, April, May. . .June. Welcome to summer! Wow, my track record this year has been rather hideous, hasn't it? Lots of things have happened since the beginning of December, and at the same time not a lot has really happened. Funny how that works out, isn’t it? Here’s a quick rundown:
Christmas: Good, but I was a bit out-ninja ( Read more... ) -
Out-ninja'ed the ninja
Last year the holiday season came upon me as the ninja do--silently and secretly for a surprise attack. This year, I am more prepared. Much more prepared. I mean, It's only 3 December and I have already completed most of my holiday shopping and crafting. Furthermore, I had the shopping done before Thanksgiving. This weekend I will be wrapping ( Read more... ) -
The weather continues to be odd
There was a possum in my parking spot when I got home this evening. It skittered off into the trees when I pulled up, but I could still see it thanks to my headlights. So I sat and watched it. After a couple minutes it moved out from the trees and waddled past my car. I think it was probably about the same size as my family's cat (didn't realise ( Read more... ) -
Ice cream!
I had Heavenly Hash ice cream this evening, and it was wonderful. When I was a kid you could find the stuff in every grocery store under several brands, but I haven't seen it anywhere for...years. So I've more or less resigned myself to making do with Rocky Road (anyone who tells you that the two flavors are exactly the same is wrong. Oh so very ( Read more... ) -
Phenomenal cosmic powers, and we use them to pants people.
This evening was our first session of Mage (well, we had a character generation session last week, but that didn't involve any playing; it was explanation and tossing ideas about). So this evening we introduced our characters to the group, outlined some backstory elements (I still need to work on mine, but this happens), wrapped up a few lingering ( Read more... )
