Today...

[joegoda]

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.

I don't think the shoe will drop very quickly, sadly. Right at this moment in time, it's something like the world holding its breath as it watches the stock markets...

If that were all that was causing it, I would probably flip it off and move on. But there is something else there...not certain whether it is good or bad, or possibly chaotic neutral. Most likely the last, I suspect.

We will watch and wait together.

*hee* Yes, I do need to take a look at that Park...wish we could just whisk the rest of the band down here to play for them. Perhaps if we don't travel next week, we'll go there too.

And yes, Mom Pockets asked me about the idea before she asked you. I'm not plotting, really I'm not. I think you'll love being at the Soup Kitchen; simply wonderful folk. And yes, I agree that it is a step closer to playing Dr. Dee. *grin* I still have the fabric and the picture of the costume in my head. No hurry, dear; it'll happen when it's spozed to happen

i love this post.

Not because you're not feeling just right; i don't love that part, no. But... you talk. You just let go and say it! *smile* I love when you do that.

One favor? Take someone else along when you put on your fair rig, to take pics? *Smile* Have *them* do the pics, so all you have to do is BE the picture. *L* I know you won't like that much.... but try to just enjoy the sunshine and the freedom... and who knows? You might find some fun in there!

I know WE will all enjoy the results!

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.

Dancing, dancing, dancing! This is gonna be fun, trust me! And hey, if you want to try out Dr. Dee before you get the full costume, Susi, how about my purple surcoat and matching flat cap like the wizard one I use?
