New: Weir In Your Kitchen

Wow.  Isn't that interesting?

Osric?

maybe.

Revisting Methuselah's Children

Found the perfect quote to describe Sebastian and his sister Colette:

Nothing so completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity himself, than straightforward and simple integrity in another.

- Charles Caleb Colton, author and clergyman (1780-1832)

Perfect!

I'm done.

Dunno if I will ever come back.
Looks a long way off, if I do.
Years.

Radio Silence

I thought I was leaving one game.
Then I lost all interest in gaming. I still love my characters. I still want to learn about their in-game environments.

When I went into full scale panic mode for my mom's going away party in July, I shut that part of my brain off. And I've been busy enough with work and trying to continue to improve my immediate living environment that it hasn't switched back on.

I might be out for the full summer. So much needs doing. I'm buried under it... but... for a change, I am also making progress. I guess I had to sacrifice the gaming to get things done. Sad. I know.

But I am making Mark sacrifice, too. I'm not letting him buy the third season of Buffy until Christmas. This serves two functions. One, I don't get sucked into watching the big babysitter box, and two, it frees him up so I can drag him around, kicking and screaming, to help me in my endless endeavors. What a bitch I am!

Ambercon US and the Hotel

Okay, people. Those of you that complain, year after year about the conditions of the hotel... now is the time to do something about it. When you get your 'Guest Satisfaction Survey' in the mail, be sure to fill it out, either on paper or with the online option.

Looks to me like Embassy Suites Corporate is finally taking a good look at that hotel. The survey comes from the Brand Management office.

So. Go to it!

Pissing off the Gaming World

One Person At A Time.

Check another one off the list.
Geez, at this rate, I'll be done by the end of the year.
Go Me.

For a Few Dollars More...

Every year, we hear people moaning about the 'dog tag' format of badge holders we use at the con.

Well, people. I went out of my pocket and bought clippy type badge holders of the same size, so's everything we stick in that holder will fit in this one.

The catch? It's out of MY pocket, not the con budget, and I am going to be asking for a buck to slowly get my money back. So. Clippy badge holders, available at the Con, put aside your dollar now and there will be no surprises.

Dying on the Pattern

This last week, I have been drained, exhausted, and hard pressed to find and keep my focus.

The last few weeks have felt like I have been pushing my body through each ticking minute to the next, trying to move forward. I do not feel like I have been terribly successful. Certainly I have not been accomplishing many of my goals at work.

And I wonder if this is what it feels like to die on the Pattern? To one minute be pushing through that final veil, and the next be caught in an eternal moment in time, an event horizon of death... never quite dying, yet eternally straining to take that next, impossible step.

The dark side of Amber.

Aoife, Merideth and Gabriel , Flying...

Might look something like this...

If you make the bat an Angel, and imagine the hedgehog to be Merideth.

Aoife, unfortunately, is invisible right now.
