State of the Tory, with extra poll...

[letterblade]

...i.e. a few things that have been distracting me from the internets.

- Woke up one morning to a terse email from my mother saying that my very old grandmother was in the ICU. She's getting better last I heard, and I am hoping a lot. I should send her something. I...agh. I "cope" with this sort of thing by shutting it out of my brain completely and not dealing with it. Doesn't so much work. Flail.

- Had one of those few days of fail where I ran out of meds and consistently forgot/wasn't able to get to my pharmacy during actual pharmacy hours to renew them. Yup, I suck. Spent most of yesterday v. out of it and feeling like my head was a prickly balloon. SSRI withdrawal leads to some peculiar sensations. Resolving to go get them as soon as I am done with breakfast, yarr.

- Also dehydrated and cranky due to the water boiling foo here in the Boston area. No longer have to boil all ice cubes before using, yay! Should probably go inhale a gallon of water.

- Had epic communication FAIL with somebody I like. Left me feeling rather crappy.

- Weather knocked me for a loop. I do NOT cope well with heat. If it's over seventy in my room, I can barely even sleep, never mind anything else. Getting my AC unit in was epically annoying, due to the mess in front of that window, but better than the alternative. And because of the mix of WTFHOT and rainstorms, I've been behind on my Etsy photography (I do that outside), which is Not Good, because now I'm behind on my listing stuff every day resolution. Meh.

Despite all this, I sat down and poured out at least half a character sheet for the LARP I'm currently writing. So I'm not entirely useless. I <3 that character. I <3 all of these characters, really, and hope the rest will be as easy for the same reason. Wheee!

Speaking of this game-in-a-month challenge, actually...

Those are all good titles, but I like A Crown of Hearts best for a LARP. Makes one want to know more.

*hugs you a lot*

...and also, fingers crossed for your grandmother's continued recovery.

Something about the term "using" makes me assume you are not putting them in drinks.

You have just gained Potential Roommate Points. We should get an apartment with central air and never let it go over 65F.

Maybe the t-storms due this afternoon will help break the weather a little.

Have you ever read the Morgan Calabrese comics? There's one in particular that I think you'd identify with. (re: heat)

OMG the hot weather. I am so grateful that Cambridge had water and that my jewelry setup is in the basement.

(I blogged about jewelry yesterday but only posted it on Dreamwidth (http://rivenwanderer.dreamwidth.org/19855.html))

I really like The Waste Land as a larp name, but I'd be disappointed if the game didn't involve quite a lot of references or thematic resonance with the poem.

What's wrong with HeaCroShadownrt: the Enlarpening?

[nevacaruso.livejournal.com]

"Enlarpening" is my new favorite made-up verb, just so's you know.

Rites Against the Darkness sounds like a death metal band with pretensions.
