Today...

I'm just not feeling... right. I think it's the barometric pressure. Sinuses are a bit grumpy and I've got a bit of muscle tightness that usually indicates that there are problems afoot in the world I don't know about. That's a given. There's tonnes of problems I don't know about. I'm still blaming the weather, though.

I took a drive to Centennial Park, a nice little Tulsa Park project. I've been wanting to go there, just to see what it looks like. The park turned out to be very, very nice. A couple of waterfalls, a nice gentle babbling brook running through the center of it. Some grassy fields that some Celtic band might feel a desire to perform on... stuff like that. It was very natural looking, and comfy. On March 28th the community center in the park is going to present a live performance of some old radio programs. I think I'll go see it. Heck, it's a 5 dollar entry fee. Where else can you see a live performance for 5 bucks.

I put on Pockets costume today. The Pocket pants, from Mom Pockets, the Pockets cloak, from Darlin' capi. I wanted to see how they looked. No, I won't take pictures in the apartment. It's just too... well, it's small and cramped and NOT photogenic. Not a background for such a cool costume. I'll go take a picture in a natural setting tomorrow, I think. So you who contributed can see it as it should be seen.

I also ordered boots for Bags and me. Yes, I know, I know... it might all be a mistake and I should have spent the 3+ hundred dollars on real boots... but you know? Bags and I don't do faires on a continuous basis, so maybe they'll be okay. We'll see, won't we?

I've been watching the TV show 'Lie to me'. It's a TV fantasy based upon the actual science of Micro-expressions, something that has always interested me. Tim Roth stars in it, and the science is good. The stories are pretty mundane, though, just like everything else on television. I watched all four episodes in one sitting, because I can.

I also think, and it's a big step for this hermit in me, that I'll accept a Royal Invitation to help out at the Soup Kitchen during OKRF. I'm still tossing it through my brain, which keeps trying to convince me of how hermity I am, but I think I'll over rule it. It might be a lot of fun.

Susi, you realize that is just one step closer to me being Dr. Dee, don't you? I'm thinking that once I get the right boots or shoes, then all I need is the sort of costume that you have in your head. Oh, that and being able to attend Academy. Next year I'll have the days off to be able to do that. Not days that I have to finagle, but real days off. Friday and Saturday.

I'm still feeling tense, like the other shoe, Universally speaking, has not quite dropped yet. It'll pass, I'm sure. Just wish it would pass quickly.

The Soup Kitchen is the only reason I met some wonderful folk...and the only reason I started doing faire really.

Just remember...there is only one way out of the Soup Kitchen.

In the soup, eh? Hmmmmm. Not the door? Maybe there's a door in the soup?

If there is a door in the soup you aren't walkin' out of it! *grin* There is not escape from the Soup Kitchen Mafia!

Most people don't. There are a few misguided souls who go on to other things, but mostly we keep our own.

I guess you can take this as a I'm certainly try my darndest to be there! 8:30... that's in the morning, right?

Usually, yes. Although sometimes if we roast a really big pig, we start the night before! No, wait! We learned a hard lesson about that a while back! Ain't doin' those big pigs no more! Just the little cute ones!

Amazing to think it wasn't that long ago...
