Bread thoughts

September 26th, 2009

I have a period stoneware baking pan that I really want to make some bread in. I can use my typical bread recipe, but any thoughts on good things that would take advantage of my very cool pottery?

Impending garb

September 25th, 2009

My chausses came in the mail today with a leather pouch to hold my sundries since I’ll be retiring the green walmart pants ASAP. The day of better event clothing draws nigh!

Home; away from…

There are a couple events that really make me want to be closer to my family: being sick (had a cough for a week) and Sunday lunches. I miss having mom to buy me sprite and bring me crackers to eat when I napped on the couch under a blanket watching terrible daytime tv. I swear that couch had magical healing properties.

Sunday afternoons are always lazy-time at home when you’re full of a tasty lunch and just play cards, read, or pester siblings to mom’s irritation. All to the sound of dad’s puffing-sounding snore.

Rapier Wit

September 24th, 2009

For a day that started off so bad, I think it turned out better than I’d have hoped.

I started the day with an alarm clock that didn’t wake me up, getting me to a training class late, a failed attempt to buy a few things at a gas station due to a billing error on my part, and then a day of boring class that just taught me some things that I already knew. I just kept looking forward to getting to a fight practice that I really felt hopeful about.

Practice went well tho. Really well. The drips let me separate out the facets so I thought that I was able to see how the parts fit together and then I was a le to spar a little to try to fit things together. Great time and it’s really making me excited to play more and improve. Plus, it gives me things to make for my garb like a hood and jacket/doublet thing. Yay for more handcraft projects!

After, it was a really wonderful dinner with a couple friends who let me forget about a shitty day and just have a great time. I’ve been able to meet some spectacular people lately and it’s refreshing to spend time with those who are so accepting and generous with their knowledge and everything.

Now, I just need to figure out why I’m not tired until 1:30am and I’ll be pretty set. Perhaps I just need to get stabbed more at practices to bruise myself to sleep. That’s how it works, right? Heh.

A new hope

September 23rd, 2009

Starting a blog always seems so fun. Setting up plugins, arranging things just how they should be, getting everything to work with the latest tech… It’s like a geek holiday; Nerdmas if you will.

There’s the latent thoughts of questioning why I need another site to pay registration for. Wondering if I’ll have anyone read this journal. Considering how secret to keep this public writing (which people do I want to talk about and how do I not let them in on it). :)

I think I get tired of writing by hand and hiding away thoughts. Some feedback is always nice and facebook never quite seems to satisfy my true desire to share. Or at least I don’t post too much on there for the distaste in having to explain what’s behind purposefully vague posts about things that can’t be specified because of the nature of who is connected to who. Whom? Bah.

In the end, I think I became bored with my other sites. I didn’t stay focused on what i’d wanted them to be. The family blog is less useful with a family that doesn’t participate and a personal blog that ends up being a collection of online quizzes seems to lose steam fairly quickly. Plus, I like this URL more… :)
