I have been looking forward to this trip for months and now that I am a day away from getting onto a plane with my family (and boyfriend!) to spend a week in Italy... I get SICK!!!
Arrrrg! I want to cry! I have managed not to catch the plague that was going around Dickens Fair. I even got my flu shot. I was feeling fine until yesterday. Today I have some work to finish-up, lots of laundry and packing to do and errands to run, and what my body most needs is sleep and liquids. The liquids I have been doing (Throat Coat, chicken soup, etc.) but the sleep is not just going to happen until I am on the plane.
What fun!
Ugh.

Looking for someone to sublet in January
Dec. 19th, 2007 12:41 pmLast night we had a lovely dinner party with our household friends. Not only did we want to spend time with some of our household friends, but it was a great excuse for R to cook a gourmet 5 course meal in return for all the baby-sitting we have been doing for him over the last few months. It was also a send-off for our other roommate who is leaving to continue her field research in Puerto Rico after the holidays for 4 months.
Which leads me to what is going to happen to her room. We have someone lined up to sublet it for February and beyond, but not for January. If you know of anyone who wants to sublet a room in the Berkeley/Oakland area during January, please direct them to me or![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gardengirl_34. I will post the Craigslist ad when it i up. It need not even be for the entire month either, but at least 2 weeks would help out.

Ability Scores:
Strength-10
Dexterity-13
Constitution-11
Intelligence-14
Wisdom-15
Charisma-15
Alignment:
Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because because it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.
Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Class:
Rangers are skilled stalkers and hunters who make their home in the woods. Their martial skill is nearly the equal of the fighter, but they lack the latter's dedication to the craft of fighting. Instead, the ranger focuses his skills and training on a specific enemy a type of creature he bears a vengeful grudge against and hunts above all others. Rangers often accept the role of protector, aiding those who live in or travel through the woods. His skills allow him to move quietly and stick to the shadows, especially in natural settings, and he also has special knowledge of certain types of creatures. Finally, an experienced ranger has such a tie to nature that he can actually draw on natural power to cast divine spells, much as a druid does, and like a druid he is often accompanied by animal companions. A ranger's Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

Wonder what he will become...
Dec. 11th, 2007 10:48 pmYeah, I did this once before, but since I just got home from seeing the movie, I figured it was time for another go.
Oh, and I could not seem to get the shockwave thing to embed here, so you will have to just follow the link. Something must be broken in the code that is way beyond me because it plumb vanishes when I post it.

Disneyland - cont.
Dec. 10th, 2007 11:08 amAfter saving so much by taking the Megabus to LA, you would think we could afford the other expenses easily enough, Well, it turns out that January is one of the hardest months for me work-wise, and so the hotel and park tickets are somewhat prohibitive even without the cost of travel. At this point we have a rather pricey hotel booked for Friday and Saturday nights (1/25-26), but we are actually arriving Thursday night. Staying with friends could work, although we are limited in our transportation once we are there, and I want to make sure that at a minimum, chaosloom, his brother, and myself are taken care of for lodging, if not msvwrose and gardengirl_34.
I am thinking that if there was a way to find a cheaper hotel situation or at least offset the cost of the hotel by not having to buy park tickets, it would help make this much more feasible.
Anyone have access to free or deeply discounted Disneyland tickets? I know thatchaosloom would like to visit both parks while down there, so some 2-day park-hopper tickets would be ideal.
Can you help me make a birthday wish come true?

Save a tree, take the bus
Dec. 10th, 2007 10:50 amIn late January we are celebrating the birthday of chaosloom by taking a trip down to Disneyland. We are going the last weekend of January, and welcome our friends joining us there.
While weighing our options for travel, we ended up deciding on taking the bus. Although the travel time is still as long as driving ourselves, and without the flexibility of having our own car, the price sure was right. Will had been telling me about the great deals you can get at Megabus, which offers typical rates of about $10 each direction from SF to LA. So yeah, that is already a great deal right there. Additionally, they even have $1 fares for some of the off-peak times that are booked far enough in advance (they only have booking open 45 days in advance so you have to plan around that). Well, I ran across a promotion code that ended up costing me a whopping 0.50¢ for four round-trip tickets to LA from SF. Yes, you are reading that right, less than 0.13¢ a person!
I like the idea behind why they are doing this:
"Megabus did the math and calculated that if they take 56 cars off the road with each bus trip filled to capacity, it will result in 3,850 fewer pounds of carbon emissions for every 100 miles traveled. If they fill 1,786 buses with this promotion, they will reduce CO2 emissions by 6.9 million pounds for every 100 miles traveled."
Heydalisair, you might consider taking the bus up to SF for the remainder of Dickens Fair as I suspect the price at Megabus fits into your budget (even without the promotion) better than those flights you have been having so much trouble with.

Ugh. Not sure what it was that woke me, but 5:22 am is not a time of day I planned to be waking up. Especially after a long day, with another one to follow!
Since it is traditional to blog when in this situation, here I am.
It seems there is a long list of small things contributing to this untimely condition. The biggest is probably my arm hurting. And yes, I was sleeping on it. It is strangely more comfortable to sleep on my right side, even though my right arm is the one that suffers from carpul tunnel. Sometimes this means sleeping on my arm. Sometimes my arm gets crampy. Sigh....
When I woke up enough to roll onto my back, my coy kitty, who likes to sleep on the bed with me at night, but hates to be approached, decided that it was a good time to perch ON me. She sauntered over to my center and settled in. This meant she found the spot right where I bend and curled up. Yes, that spot. Yes, I was on my back. So, here I am, slowly becoming wide awake, with a cat on my crotch. Now, don't get me wrong, I adore when she decides to snuggle with me; she is so coy otherwise, and yet this is one of the ways we bonded back when she was a kitten. She has a way of making one feel privileged for receiving any of her attentions. Even if for just a moment. But again, this is just a small contributing factor.
Once awake enough for my brain to engage, I am usually doomed. I loves me some good sleep, I do. I can sleep like the best of them. Not to rub it in, but the other day I slept until noon. Mmmm...sleeping in. I have, over the course of my life, had various sleep problems. Usually they have manifested as difficulty falling asleep. This has not been the case too often recently. It is more rare, however, for me to suffer from the awakes-too-early version of sleeplessness.
Well, I have any number of things I am mentally processing, including worries about tasks I need to take care of, so now my brain is on and whirring away.
And now I have had the requisite cup of tea, while surfing the internet.
Brain still on.
Still not king.
Meh!

In a Dark [Garden] window
Dec. 6th, 2007 11:58 amI finally have a photo of me and chaosloom together from our Dark Garden window modeling this last Sunday. Thanks to terpsichoros for taking this one.

That time again...
Dec. 4th, 2007 05:24 pmSo, it is that time again... First Friday Game Night is almost upon us and I am working on a playlist. The theme this time is Heroes and Villains so many songs from the past playlists have already been added for reprises.
Meanwhile, I would love to have any suggestions that you might have as to what I can add to the playlist that fits the theme.
BTW, please do consider yourself invited. It is an open game night, and it has been picking-up in the last few months.

And so it is Friday...
Nov. 30th, 2007 03:26 pmGot caught up with work. Mostly. Now I need to do some billing to get paid for said work.
Still have some prep to do for the window thatchaosloom and I are doing Saturday at 4 (it becomes a coordinated window around about 4:30) and we are going to have to wing it if we don't get any rehearsal time in. Oh well.
This weekend looks to be as busy as last one, what with a Storytelling party tonight and a Veddy British party Saturday night. Not to mention some shuffling around of schedules at the booth due to my window and various and sundry illness (stay healthy guys!) which should make Saturday... interesting (note, I did not say bad, just interesting). Oh, and I think I get to meetchaosloom's father at fair that day too. Yes... like I said, interesting.
To add to that, the third roommate returns from her travels sogardengirl_34 and I have some tidying to do. Nothing too bad, but we have been rather distracted lately, what with Dickens and the holidays.
Oh, and this gives me a good excuse to use my new icon based on a DG window from last year. I have yet to see any decent photos from the window thatfools_and_irish and I did last Saturday. The ones my mom took are all blurry as she is still learning how to use her new camera.

Nov. 27th, 2007 05:55 pmI need a clone! I have too much to do, and not enough time to do it. Bah! I nearly forgot that I was watching Miss Jo today I was so caught-up in trying to catch-up with work.
Movie anyone?
Nov. 26th, 2007 09:22 amOne of the things chaosloom and I wanted to fit into last week that there just was no time for is going to a showing of Enchanted (warning - trailer loads with sound). Since things were way too crazy to actually fit it in, we decided to go tonight instead.
There are several showings at the AMC Bay Street, including a 7:00 and 7:45, which seem like the most convenient for people with more typical work schedules.
Anyone interested in joining us tonight?

Made it through opening weekend!!!
Nov. 26th, 2007 09:09 amPhew! Opening weekend is done and I made it out alive.
It has been a crazy week, what with getting ready for Dickens, juggling work (including getting stuff ready forinside_edge's Brass Farthing show and CD), Thanksgiving prep and even baby-sitting for little J on Wednesday, so it feels like an accomplishment to have made it through alive.
I will confess to not doing much of the prep for Thanksgiving in the end. It was a delightfully small and simple Thanksgiving wheregardengirl_34 and I both had our mothers here and the three of them did most of the cooking while I decorated hats for chaosloom, gardengirl_34, and myself, as well as one for my mother to wear as well. The food was some of the best Thanksgiving fare ever, IMHO, and since all I made was the green-beans, I think I can say that without sounding boastful. Having a quiet Thanksgiving was wonderful, and provided a much needed day to relax before the storm
Crowds were thin at Dickens, but it was good to be able to sort out last minute details with the booth. The staff was somewhat slim on Friday also, which meant that I actually spent some time behind the counter, along withmercator_7 and a few others who made it in. I did manage to get out enough to walk around a bit with chaosloom while he visited with his mother and stepfather.
Saturday was probably the busiest day with almost normal crowds. My mother attended, andfools_and_irish and I even got to fit in a window at Dark Garden (I can't wait to see the photos!). I then had to leave early so that chaosloom and I could drive up to his family Thanksgiving in Napa, which went well.
Sunday was spent with hardly any time in the coffee booth. Instead I got to really work on gigs with Miss Pleasant Riderhood. A very forlorn Mr Venus (chaosloom) followed me around much of the time with a chalk sign stating his proposal of marriage. He even presented me with a articulated skeleton of a toad (graciously on loan from gardengirl_34) which I carried around with me, along with the rose and telegram he sent with his proposal, asking people if it was a suitable courting gift. I even got emberleo in on it when she happened by (thanks hon!).
Today I am working from home, which is a relief from the running around I had to do last week (I worked in SF for an onsite assignment). And after last week, even the workload I have (much of it stuff I should have been working last week) seems like a break from the crazy.

Spare a Dickens Fair Ticket?
Nov. 20th, 2007 11:44 pmDoes anyone have a spare opening weekend ticket I could have? I would like for my mother and her friend to both be able to come on Friday, but I only have one ticket.
Beowulf: An IMAX 3D Experience
Nov. 16th, 2007 09:39 amThis afternoon, chaosloom and I are going to see Beowulf at the Sony Metreon IMAX theater. We got tickets for the 4:45 PM showing. I know that is early, but if anyone wants to join us, let me know.

Dickens looms
Nov. 13th, 2007 01:47 pmI have completed my workshops, received costume approval and acquired my gate pass and parking pass for Dickens. I stopped by the Cow Palace and was pleased to find that the booth was making decent progress due to DB actually hiring a carpenter to do the set-up. She (the carpenter) should be finishing up on the construction today, which means the next stage can start tomorrow. I will be on site tomorrow painting most of the day, and Anna will be coming by this weekend to put the finishing touches on the booth with lots of deco.
By the way, bothchaosloom and I are playing book characters this year (in addition to my managing the coffee shop again). They are both from Our Mutual Friend and are fairly small roles (especially mine). I am playing Miss Pleasant Riderhood, and chaosloom is playing Mr. Venus, an articulator of bones (aka a taxidermist), as well as my suitor. He will be concocting ways in which he will be proposing to me throughout the run of fair, and may be interested in some co-conspiritors in his plots.
If you have a desire to "play" some with me while I am in character (which should be most times I am not in the coffee shop, and even while I am in the shop, as long as I am not too busy) address me as Miss Riderhood, (or Miss Pleasant to those who are more known to me) and know that I have a small Leaving Shop (pawn shop) down by the docks where I usually find ways to help sailors part with their valuables and wages. For, sailors to be got the better of, were essential to Miss Pleasant's Eden.
I would love to have people come try to pawn small items, especially sailor related, as well as try to buy back items that they have pawned. Also, I may have some actual items for which you can buy, as Lynn Combs has been gracious enough to "loan" me some of the small prop items she sells at the haberdashery, such as non-functioning pocket watches and the like.
'appy Christmas!

In search of a truck
Nov. 1st, 2007 06:53 pmOne of my best friends is moving to Portland (yes I am sad, and no, this is not a request for her) and is giving me and gardengirl_34 three Ikea book cases. The only catch is that I have no way to move them. She is moving on the 9th (next Friday!) and I can come get them anytime on Thursday or Friday of next week. She lives in San Francisco, and we live in Oakland.
Any willing soul with a suitable truck able to help us out here? We will pay for your gas, and a meal if needed. We will be there to help, of course.
