Things could work better.

I spent between midnight and about six in the morning being intermittently ill. I finished reading a book, but on the whole I'd rather have slept.
The Minority Council by Kate Griffin was rather good.
Something I ate yesterday was, according to my digestion, very not good.
Now I'll probably remember those two things together whenever I re-read it.

Cleaner is here and cleaner day is happening and I had intended to get food delivered but I forgot. I have some Tesco food from yesterday. Tesco is still not very useful.

I'm really tired. I slept until 1130 so that's like 5 hours sleep but I think my body clock thinks this is the middle of the night. I don't know, I have heard of this sleep cycle thing but I'm not convinced of its personal applicability.

Okay, my epic fantasy world with the zombies I am making up
I'm pretty confident I know how the city with Tolly in basically works. And I realised last night while watching Game of Thrones that if the steward looks like Sean Bean and gets all hurt looking when someone claims Tolly was cheating on him then there's much more story mileage in it than if he's some boring looking dude who just dumps him.
I reckon with all the Taverns that keep showing up on the Magical Medieval City I either have to cut down the numbers (by a lot a lot a lot) or come up with a Really Good Reason. So: The city has a strong communal dining ethos. Like seriously, they think if you go home and eat alone you're being a weirdo. Eating together is part of being a citizen and how they maintain group ties. ( Read more... )

Cleaner is long gone and I am going to do something that isn't rambling about my made up epic fantasy zombie mutant world.

Redemption is fast approaching

I'm too busy having dissertation panic to have much con squee, seeing as I need to hand something in on the same Thursday I travel to Redemption, but previous years have been squeeful.
The programme is up now


http://conventions.org.uk/redemption/programme/progitems13.pdf

and I have the usual happy problem of trying to figure out how to be three places at once.

on the mailing list the current active discussions are things about the Ruler of the Universe, requests for fabrics / donations of patterns for the costuming, and some concern that the big room near the entrance with all the glass windows is not the best possible venue for the rope bondage lunchtime session (though it was there without problems the last two years).

... cons are just their own thing, really. without going, you just don't get the knowing of them.

I like Redemption because there's tons of talking. I even manage to talk. And there's not queues and being all about getting photos with people, which is getting less interesting because there's like twenty seconds of happy squee and all the surrounding hours of wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait.

I'd go to Red if they didn't have guests. Because the fun is not guest centered.

I should probably find more cons that are like that, if I like that better.



Today I should be working hard on homeworks with a deadline.
... my hand hurts and I've only been doing typing. No fair.
