Delaying posting till Dec 1
Hi everyone!

Because so many people are in transit this weekend and we're still putting together our posting schedule, we're going to delay posting until the evening of Dec 1. Sorry for any inconveniences! We can't wait to get things started, and hope you all enjoy the fest!

Best,
Snarry Holidays mods

Coping Limit Exceeded

I am feeling extremely whiny, near trantrum-ish, definitely ready to sulk, today. But you probably don't need to hear me whine as much as I need to get it off my chest )

I hate missing out on the fun of performing -- and in front of a bunch of friends, at that. I hate feeling like I've let my bandmates down. I hate feeling like I've let the audience down. (Oh, the band can get by without me and put on a good show, but having any of us absent diminishes the effect, and this was already a less-than-the-full-band gig.) All of that is a bigger deal, emotionally, than the physical pain and illness that are keeping me home. I thought I could cover those feelings with enough reminders that illness is illness and there's just not much I can do differently right now, but it's not working. I'm frustrated and miserable and want to scream at the universe that it''s all JUST NOT FAIR and I deserve a do-over because I'm special and realities like illness aren't allowed to take away my Darkover weekend.

I'm not especially worried about the Regency ball because I have a pretty good idea who'll be there for it, and that bunch doesn't need much leading -- I get the word out and get sheet music to people, and when the dance starts I usually mostly just blend into the rythm section -- so as long as enough people brought last year's music with them, that should go okay. I still feel like I really ought to be there though.

I had a lot of 'maybe's for the Playford dance -- somebody please tell me that enough musicians showed up for that and it went smoothly?

So, you know what I did tonight? I had a date.






:D


This is seriously the only way to summarize how I'm feeling right now. Can't lie about it.

Well, that sucked

How brown do you let tomato catsup turn before you start to worry about safety rather than just aesthetics? (I'm thinking about those leftover fast-food catsup packets that I occasionally pull out of my fridge, never being sure what colour I'll find inside until I open one.)

I specify tomato catsup because the only other kind of catsup I have any experience with is mushroom, and the mushroom catsup was already brown when I first saw it and I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be that colour. Which suggests a follow-up question: how many of you have eaten non-tomato catsups?

I had a thoroughly wretched day. Woke up coughing badly and spent the rest of the morning that way, then crashed again, woke up just before the HCB gig in the evening, still at home, un-showered, and in so much pain it hurt even to push the buttons on my phone. So, a missed performance, womdigious pain ... but one encouraging sign: no coughing from about 20:00 to 23:30! A little tickle now, but down in the "maybe I can squash this with albuterol and menthol" range. Now if I can convince my body to get back to sleep again in time to wake up early enough to throw instruments in the car and head up to Darkover for the Playford dance in the morning, maybe the next twenty hours won't such as much as the last forty.

Still not really sure about playing woodwinds -- will have to see just how well I'm breathing tomorrow -- but if other melody instruments make it, I can stick to guitar and bass.

If I'm not coughing in the morning then I'm probably also not contagious, right?

This and That
* Hope all who celebrate Thanksgiving had a wonderful time spent with family and friends.

* The Girl Child went to the Black Friday sales this morning. At 4:49, while I was doing some serious sleeping, she texted. Scared me to death. Why did she text at that unholy hour, you ask... because she spotted John Travolta at the mall. Jesus. She's a freak.

* The Boy Child had to work today - so no shopping for him. Instead, he gave the Girl a list and his debit card. He gave his sister his fucking debit card. When she was going to a mall. The boy is an idiot. Honestly.

* It's chilly here in the Sunshine State tonight. Lovely thing, that. Right along with the Criminal Minds marathon on A&E.

* And, on a Criminal Minds note, this week's episode killed me. Dead. *pets the CM team*

Recipe Project: Easy Brownies
Title: The Way of the World

Author: McKay ([info]scribbulus_ink)

Commentary: McKay's "Way of the World" contains some wonderful domestic scenes between Snape and Lupin in the kitchen, where, for example, Lupin teaches Snape how to cook (and survive) in the muggle world.

McKay already posted a great recipe from the story, so I hope no one minds that I'm posting one for brownies inspired by this delightful scene:


Excerpt:

"Laugh at me, will you?" Severus snarled. "You'll pay for that!"

And suddenly, Severus reached into the bowl, scooped up a huge handful of batter, and advanced on Remus.

"No -- Severus, you wouldn't!" Remus stared at him, wide-eyed, as he began backing away.

"Oh, wouldn't I." Severus' voice was a silky purr now, but his smile was pure evil.
Remus couldn't help but think that batter-covered Severus would have been even better. )

Up and Down

The flu roller-coaster continues. After a somewhat promising Wednesday (I didn't feel well enough to go to rehearsal, but if the next day had been as much better than Wednesday as Wednesday had been better than Tuesday, Thanksgiving dinner might have been doable), my Thursday was rather worse. Coughing more often and more uncomfortably, sleepy, achy, and queasy. Didn't make it to family Thanksgiving in Montgomery County (where there'd be at least one person whom it would be Very Bad to infect with what I've had). Didn't even make it next door -- fell asleep around the time things were starting up there, and was probably coughing too much to reasonably go be around a bunch of other people. I was feeling rather out-of-it most of the day anyhow.

So today and Saturday remain uncertain. I'll have to see how I'm doing this afternoon. If nothing else, I'll need to get out to buy more cough syrup again.

I've found more cat vomit (last night, Perrine threw up on my camera -- eww -- this after I found a chunky puddle in the hallway and vomit over the side of the litter box; now I found dried mess on the stairs). Either she's got a tummy bug, or the different brand of cat food disagrees with her; not sure which. (She acted as though she liked this food, before she started throwing up.) Wondering how many more messes I haven't discovered yet. Bleah. (She hasn't sneezed since the day I posted about her having multiple sneezing fits, FWIW.)

Playford@Darkover

I have set lists for the Playford and Regency dances at Darkover. The Regency music will be the same as the last few years; if there's a chance you'll be able to play for the Playford dance (11:00 Saturday morning), email me and I'll send you the PDF of this year's music. Likewise if you can do the Regency ball (5PM Saturday) and don't have last year's music handy.

I'm not sure I'll get a chance to print copies, so the more folks who can print the music and bring a copy, the better.

Aventures on rail

So, since I've moved, I go to work by train, which is good as it gives me time for reading, etc.

Except that tonight, I managed to get onto the wrong train, and arrived at the storage station. *facepalm* Thankfully, the train driver was very helpful, and managed to find a colleague that went back to Lyon and could leave me at the station before the last train. :D
