Notes from a Sunday

Went to First Unitarian Society of Madison today - so nice to be in the beautiful building, rather than just listening to a podcast. Yet, how awesome to have been able to enjoy podcasts! A very powerful technology, and it's uses are only just beginning to be conceived. In Africa I'd once listened to a 'Deconstructing Dinner' podcast about getting the city of Madison to allow people to keep chickens, and I discovered yesturday that one of the speakers was one of my new housemate's father. How strange that I listened to his message from so far away.

After the service I went to the Society for Creative Anachronism's archery practice. It was my first time, but in the royal round I got 14 points! I only need 20 to earn the first ribbon (white) so I was pretty pleased.

That was about enough excitement for me, so I headed home and had left-overs for lunch, and rested. Tried to imagine what a life in America would be like. Hid under the covers.

Grant had a super long marathon training run today, so I had time to sort out our project room while I waited for him. Sewing, glass etching, weaving, grommeting, costuming and linux hacking - now we have a desk for all these ambitions.

Which reminds me, I need a balrog costume in four days!?!? I'm so excited to play second age, but I don't even know where my swords are!
