Low tank, but good clarity

The moon... she is a comin' back. yeah.
I would wave a flag in the air, but I'm afraid I just don't particularly have the energy. At least my brain seems clear for the first time in at least 10 days or so. Wow, this season packed a wallup!
Last night I hosted Kingdom Scriptorium. I was tired, but I'm glad the gang came over. It sorta forced me to work on a scroll, which I really NEED to get finished. It is all done, but the outlining. I should hopefully be able to finish that on Sunday.
Let's see... general updates....
Work-front: Not as stressful as last week, but still butting heads over some issues at the county level. Trying to keep them happy, but it ain't easy.
SCA-projects:
- Scrolls: making progress. Keeping a good eye on who in the scriptorium is working on which scroll and what phase it is on. Heck, it is hard enough for me to remember where I leave off on my own projects, much less the rest of them. Kudos to Aliskye for tracking things on an even larger basis!
- Metalwork: Casting complete. Clean-up to go.
- Sewing: for me, on hold. Cloak handwork to finish up for elevation.
- Dance: Teaching another workshop this weekend. Looking forward to B.R.B., and then to taking a LONG break from dance instruction to recharge my batteries. Well... except for the dance demo for B.R.B., the demo for Yule, and teaching for Yule... (Sigh... I guess I WON'T get a break for a while).
- Cooking: Need to come up with W.W. lunch menu when I get a breather.
- Newcomers: Graduation at Yule. D'oh! Need to cast tokens for them. Note to self. One more full session to run, and then I'm done. I enjoy the newcomers, but I'm TIIIIIRED.
- Collegium: I really think I'm gonna try to NOT teach at this next collegium. I would like to TAKE classes for a change.
- A&S: Starting to do assignments to gear up for Kingdom office. If the powers that be still choose to have me by that time, I hope I can do this kingdom justice.
- General SCA observation: I like Caid. I respect Caid. Caid is unique. Caid is NOT the West, nor does it need to be. Nuff said.
House-projects:
- Putting together some noshies for a historic presentation next week. Giles will be giving the lecture to people from the City of Anaheim. I will be cooking fun Victorian noshies from a 1903 cookbook. Should be fun!
- Mrs. McCavity and I need to put together a menu for the Victorian Xmas dinner. Never a dull moment!
- Garden - whenever I get a spare moment.
I think I need a nap.

Not the West?

who found you in Friends of Friends and was just curious ... ok, and bored at work
Re: Not the West?
Date: 2005-11-08 10:06 pm (UTC)There exist some people in Caid who believe Caid *needs* to be more like the West. Truth be told, I'm not even sure what that means. But to be perfectly honest, I am of the opinion that each kingdom has its own traditions and its own way of doing things. If Caid has its own long-standing traditions that actually work, why change them to match anyone else's model?
I do not advocate keeping tradition just for the sake of doing it. If there are truly better or more efficient ways of doing things, then so be it. But I do not advocate throwing things out that have become part of the Kingdom culture, either. This game is a game enjoyed by many. And sometimes, a change - even what may seem like a well-meaning change, can make this game less enjoyable for a significant amount of people - such changes are not good.
Does that make more sense?
