sepdetI am back from Pennsic, attempting to slot back into dissertation, and finally healed enough from aches/pains and near-sinus-calamity to THINK.
Except dang, I really did nearly break my shin over the rocks inRivendell Roseland. It's a beautiful, beautiful encampment down in the valley with gorgeous standing stones and paved pathways, but WTF WITH THE BIG ROCK near the firepit where people sit around being drunk and/or bardic until 3AM?!
I killed someone's ceramic drum with my fall. He was so gracious about it, but I still feel horribly guilty, like I ran over someone's pet. I must bring a weregild next year to atone.
On a COMPLETELY different topic. The following is ganked from flist. I find it painfully funny, even though I've managed to avoid MMOs. The selection-screen poses are great.
And just to reiterate, ONE MORE TIME, for old time's sake:
"There is no sex on GarouMUSH."

Hope you had fun, and good luck on your thesis!
