It'sbeen a while since I've been here, hasn't it?
Oh well, for those of you who are still reading at all, coming up soon: I'm playing at Wicked Faire, Bound Brook Library, Cryan's Pub, the Steampunk World's Fair and a bunch of other stuff. Also, I'm looking for a better job, which is an improvement over just plain "looking for a job" which is how ( Read more... )

Wow.

Any way you break it down, it was a huge event for me. I thought it was going to be incredibly hard, and it turned out to be even harder than I imagined. But it was a great experience, and, although it hasn't all processed yet, I think I'd do it again (I'm not committing to ( Read more... )

A squirrel got into the house somehow. It's my mom's house, and it's old, cluttered and in bad repair. I had no idea how it had gotten in, so I had no idea how to get it back out ( Read more... )

I paid my entry fee for the Philadelphia Marathon, now I'm committed.

Sunday November 23, less than a week after my 33rd Birthday, I'm going to try to run 26.2 miles.

Yeah, I'm a total action nerd.

I've always had a special place in my heart for the underground, D.I.Y. and local type sports, as opposed to big arena events.
