Blushing Daisy

During Willow and Tara's witch-love song ("Under Your Spell"), flowers were thrown into the audience, and this one hit me in the head. :) Vases are still packed, so... a water glass will do.

I'm an Uncool Kid, Too

No fabulous photos from the fabulously fun Buffy Sing-A-Long, I'm afraid. Just this one of David Brinkley (who you don't wanna look like if you're a reformed demon) from the pre-show. It was a great time, and of course, there were a few extra SCA-ers, as well as some pretty interesting characters--but nowhere near enough light for my poor camera. :) Highly recommended evening of fan-joy!

A Good Start

Pile of unpacked boxes. Most had books in them. :o)

Wet and Dirty

Been way too long since Jac appeared here... If you're sweaty, and you play in the dirt... This is *after* I washed her hands and face. :) It was important that she show me her foot for some reason, and I took several but she's not holding still in any of them. :)

And I know this is a crappy picture, but I just think the way everything seems to flow away from the girl in pink pants is fun...

Deskjob Hands

So, last night I went over to Khaentlahn's and hit her with a stick for about half an hour—of course, she was wearing armor, the whole hitting thing was more of an attempt at getting through her defense, and it was a stick of rattan. :)

I have the hands of someone who runs a computer for a living, I wasn't wearing armor or any sort of protective anything (she wasn't hitting back), the stick I was using was an old sword shaved for a right-hander, and, perhaps, my technique could use some work. :o) So, I have not one, not two, but three blisters. Only one of which got broken while I had sword in hand (and, so far, I've successfully resisted taking a pin to the others). What does it say about me that I'm kinda excited to have a fighting-related injury, insignificant as it is?

Grounded

For Jeanne-Marie: Here's how I touch the earth. (In my favorite new-ish sandals.) :) Try to ignore the bug bites...

And for contrast, here are a couple cloud photos that were impossible to resist later in the evening. (Note the bird in the first.)

Floral Fireplug Finery

This is the fire hydrant a couple of blocks down from my place. Hank says these are "ghost lilies." Just stalks that stick up out of the ground with bunches of flowers on the end of them. They are everywhere right now. I don't think these were planted purposely, as a bed of them isn't far away in this yard, but all things of this nature should have such lovely backdrops. :o)
