Elsinore has had a lot happen to fix it up recently. We got our new windows, which are lovely, and I am quite optimistic that they'll do a lot to reduce the heating bill. Won't know for sure until it gets cold again, but I'm the last person on Earth to complain about warm weather. :-) The basement has been cleaned up since the time it flooded over Intercon weekend, and should now be more resistant if that much water ever happens again. And today a mason came to repair the deterioration on the front steps as well as to patch some spots on the chimney. I am pleased by these improvements and hope my soon-to-be-roommates are too.
I've been thinking a lot lately about what household items, specifically furniture and kitchen appliances, that will be departing when some of my current roommates move out. I just got my not-large but still appreciated tax refund, which I divided equally between savings, rent, and checking, and decided to use the amount that went to checking to buy new dinner plates. They are not gorgeous, and cost a bit more than I expected them to, but I got twelve good-sized and perfectly serviceable white china dinner plates from the restaurant supply store on Water Street. I figured that plates were the most essential pieces that would be leaving, and therefore should be the first thing to replace.
We housemates for the coming year should really start talking about this. We should at least begin to figure out who can bring what, and who will buy what of the things that no one already has. I also suddenly recalled the kitchen things my parents meant to give me but I never brought up because they would have been superflous, but now can fill in for departing items. My parents should be coming up to help my brother move out of his dorm next week, so I must remember to ask them to bring them along.

Completed my sheet assignments!
I just finished my second replacement character for Labor Wars. That means I have completed all my sheet assignments! Yay! I am actually extremely pleased with how this last one turned out. I shamelessly stole a brilliant structural idea from natbudin* (with his permission!) that he used in another sheet, and it turned out to be the perfect mechanism to convey the information. It makes for a slightly unorthodox character sheet, which has never been my inclination, but I found that my typical format wasn't really working for me.
Today will be spent in low-key pleasant things. I will be picking up crearespero* around lunchtime and we'll be running some errands together, as I believe the place she needs to be is right next to the place I need to be, so that coincides nicely. And then this evening I have my hot date with blendedchaitea*. Way back when she went above and beyond the call of duty helping me with To Think of Nothing, I promised I'd take her out to dinner to thank her, and now, months later, we're finally getting to do it. We'll be meeting at Tom Can Cook, and I plan to dress up pretty for her. :-) I am looking forward to spending some time with her and with Frances, and using it to relax and feel okay.
I've been a ball of stress lately. If I can't fix the source, I can at least do something to manage the effects.

Happy birthday Erik!
I want to wish a fantastic birthday to flyingstalins*, not only a remarkable and amazing human being, but the wonderful friend who hooked me up with Muppety goodness! Hope you have a wonderful day! :-)
I just finished writing one of the two replacement characters I have been assigned for Labor Wars, and I'm feeling pretty good about it. Replacement characters are a tricky proposition, in my opinion, but I'm quite proud of the way we're handling them here. There's a lot to recommend using them, of course. The Labor Wars is a weekend-long game with at least some possibility of character death, and nobody wants to be cut out of the game way way early because they got killed. So replacement characters are a way of getting those players back in the game so they don't miss out. But they can have problems. They are often much thinner than full characters, so I've encountered people getting back in the game and finding that they don't have much to do with their new role. Depending on when the second-run character gets into the game, the plots they're supposed to follow may have already resolved, or gone on in such a way as to make it impossible for them to get into those plots. And you can never predict when someone's going to die, so you can't predict when the new character's going to get into the game. Another issue is with information/knowledge management. You might get a second run character who doesn't know things that you already knew in your first character, so you're put under enormous difficulty to not metagame.
In Labor Wars, however, we've done a lot of planning to circumvent these issues as best we can. We are writing the replacements to be each tailored to a particular first-run character. So, if you're cast as X and you get killed, your replacement character will always be Y, whereas if you were cast as A, your replacement will always be B. The replacement is designated as your first character's lieutenant, to whom you've been reporting the goings-on of the game, who is ready to step in for you in the event that something happens to you. This helps make the transition smooth from one, by making character goals stem from the same stuff (if not necessarily consistent!) and by giving a reason for in-game knowledge to be consistent. Your replacement knows everything your original character knew because they are understood to have been informed of everything you learned. And usually you can pick up some aspect of your old plots, if not exactly in the same way to allow you to still have plot when you re-enter the game. It's an incredibly clever design on the parts of emp42ress*, natbudin*, and simplewordsmith*. In the past I have tended to not like replacement characters because of the issues stated above, but their implementation of the concept in this game makes me feel really good about them.
One more to go. Here's off to do it justice.

"You don't mess with Animal. He eats glass, man."
I would like to extend an amazing thanks to flyingstalins* for pointing me in the direction of the Muppet special I was seeking. It is called "Secrets of the Muppets" (the fact that I was always searching using the words "behind-the-scenes" may have prevented me from finding it) and I delightedly watched it on Youtube yesterday. It was really cool to be reminded just how much effort and cleverness goes into making the Muppets seem so real and seamless. Henson's work is so beautifully and appears so effortless it's easy to forget what technological genius it required to put it together. It makes me want to devote my life to puppetry just to share in some small part of the fantastic acheivement.
Now I want to watch Muppet stuff all day long. Also, this picture, combined with the caption beneath it, cracked me up:

"Sam disapproves of Liberace."
Heehee. Yes, I am certain that Sam does. ;-)

Muppet fan help?
think there are enough Muppet fans on my friends list that this might be an effective venue to pose a Henson-related question.
So many years ago, when I was but a nipper, I saw a Muppet special on television that I absolutely loved. It was a behind-the-scenes documentary of sorts on all the processes behind the making of Muppet movies and shows. It was hosted by Jim Henson himself; given the timing, it probably would have had to have to been one of the last things he made before he did. The really awesome thing about it was that the Muppet characters were part of it, too-- though they acknowledged their existence as constructed things, they were still people participating in the presentation. A scene following the mention of having to periodically replace worn-out Muppet parts where Bunsen points out to Gonzo the cracks in the foam around his mouth to Gonzo's extreme discomfort particularly sticks out in my mind.
I loved it so much, and I've only seen it the one time all those years ago. I desperately want to see it again.
Now I have periodically tried to identify this fantastic special over the years and met with little success. I am beginning to wonder if I hallucinated it, as with my luck nothing of that level of sheer unadulterated awesome could actually exist in this life. But on the off-chance that the universe will throw me a bone, I was wondering if any of you were familiar with it and could, at the very least, tell me the NAME of the thing, if not point me to some obliging collection of videoes on Youtube with which I could view it again.
Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Or am I raving here? Help!

iPad musings
Okay, the sleeping-badly situation is getting out of hand. All the waking up again and again during the night has got to stop. Jared suggested I try taking melatonin, which can reset circadian rhythms, and at this point it can't hurt to give it a shot. And that is the last thing I'm going to say on my sleep issues for a good long while, as I'm sure you're sick of hearing about them.
Not that anybody asked me, nor should they given my complete dearth of expertise, but I'm going to tell you what I think of the iPad. I got to handle one at an Apple store recently, and well, I liked it as a thing on its own, but in the larger sense, I wasn't especially impressed.
Is there anything to it besides the fact that it's... a giant iPhone? That's cool, I guess-- God knows the annoyances I have regarding the limitations of the iPhone, and one with expanded capabilities would be much appreciated. As I mentioned, I use my iPhone as a makeshift laptop all the time. I only have a desktop right now, so if I ever want to bring a computer with me, the phone is as close as I'm going to be able to get. Something similar to the iPhone that is intended to function more like a laptop would suit my purposes nicely, wouldn't you think? But besides the larger screen, some of the more basic personal computer functions like word processing, and (I would hope) faster processor, I don't really see a huge leap forward. There's no camera, it doesn't support multi-tasking, there's no input besides the one for the typical Apple charger cable. It's basically a giant iPhone you can't make calls on. If I need a laptop, and I'm willing to spend money to acquire one, what reason do I have to not put the $499 price the iPad retails for right now toward an actual laptop that does more?
It's a cool thing. A very cool thing, in fact. If someone gave one to me, I'm sure I'd use it all the time. But is there enough utility in that coolness to make it necessary for people to pay all that money to own? I'm not sure. My question simply boils down to, unless you're buying simply for the coolness factor, which some techies certainly do, why would one prefer to spend that money on an iPad rather than a regular computer which would have more functionality?
The thing that annoys me about it is that the people whose purposes I would think they'd truly suit, the people that compute only on the most casual level, are probably never going to get them. The people who are going to buy iPads are techies, the hard-core Apple fans. They're going to think it's cool and living-in-the-future-feeling enough to shell out the money, despite the fact that they've probably already got machines at home that can do more and need way more computing power for their doings than an iPad can provide.
The iPad would be the ideal machine for someone like my mom, who uses computers to read, send e-mail, and surf the internet. A lightweight, easy-to-use device that allowed her to do all those things would be perfect. But she would never be inclined to spend so much on some gadget. She is, however, not totally unlikely to get ahold of one if bought for her by my much more technologically-inclined dad.
Am I missing something? I am not very technologically savvy. These are just my impressions from my very ignorant point of view. It's basically just a highly portable, not-very-powerful computer, right? Is anyone going to buy it instead of a computer? Is its utility really great enough for it to be bought as anything more than a cool novelty or convenience in addition to your more useful machines?
I now sit here and prepare to get schooled by people who understand the subject far better than me.

Fucking AT&T
I'm getting increasingly fed up with AT&T. I love my iPhone, but the number of dropped calls I've experienced lately and the snail's pace of any network connection is driving me crazy. I know, I tend to use my phone like a makeshift laptop, which isn't really what it was designed for, but it WAS designed to, you know, CALL PEOPLE, and it's been quite pathetic at doing that lately. I've heard that the explosive popularity of the iPhone wasn't totally anticipated and now the network is way overloaded, but seriously, cell-providing-company. It is unacceptable to not provide cell service. I could deal with the ridiculously slow and often ineffective web access if it actually let me talk to the people I called.

Oh, and just to clarify--
By the way, I meant to mention something in the spirit of clarification regarding my thoughts on how we would manage "pinch hitters" at Festival of the Larps.
When I said "commit to be in the consuite for a time period," I mostly meant that you'd agree to be somewhere nearby to the game spaces at the beginning of the games when they were going to trying to fill gaps. This would be so you could show up to gamespaces quickly if you were called upon to fill in. Once games get running, no one would be obligated to stick around anywhere. Some people just seemed to be troubled by the notion of having to spend an entire timeslot in the consuite, which was not what I would actually think was necessary, so I wanted to clear up that you'd pretty much only have to be around for the beginning of a timeslot unless you got into a game.
Sorry for not making that explicit.

Griping as head goes *pound pound pound*
After over a week of exhaustion and stress, I feel particularly lousy today. There is a low-grade headache in the top right side of my head that isn't as bad as it was last night, but still hasn't gone away even after a night's sleep.
I spent last night helping Jared work out the writing of his thesis. The first half was due today, and he used me as a sounding board to figure out the structure and flow. I agreed to read it once he was done and make suggestions as if I were the theoretical "mean, lazy, and stupid" reader that his professors warned him to write for. At some point I noticed I had developed a halo in my left eye. This has happened to me before and gone away on its own, so I wasn't too worried, more annoyed because I knew it would make it difficult to read. Then the headache set in, starting high on the right side of my head and spreading to just behind my hairline. I drank tea and grumbled as Jared finished the first part of his paper. The halo eventually went away, thankfully, and I read the paper and I think made some helpful comments. It really is a good work; I'm incredibly proud of him. Just one more section to go, and the second part is supposed to be easier than the first.
As I lay in bed that night, still headachey and now with nausea settling in, I wondered idly if I had a brain aneurysm. I was tired enough that I decided if I woke up dead the next morning, well, at least I'd get to sleep in.
Well, needless to say I did not wake up dead. Head still hurts, though, so perhaps my aneurysm is just a lazy-ass that's taking it's own sweet time to kill me. I feel zombie-like, quite useless for any form of productivity.
Traffic on my Livejournal has dropped drastically from last month to this. I am depressed about it. Maybe I've been less interesting. I feel less interesting, so it would not surprise me if my entries were becoming less so as well. I even look less interesting; I think the look of tiredness that's been dogging me makes me appear ten years older.
I think I need to take it easy for a little while. This week I shall do things to take care of me. I have a couple of minor social things I'd like to indulge in. I have a hot date, heehee, with blendedchaitea* this coming Friday night that we've been meaning to have for a while, and I've been meaning to have Michael Hyde over for dinner sometime, so that would be an enjoyable way to spend an evening. Maybe I need to just take a little time to pull myself together. At least until this heavy, overwhelmed feeling goes away.

I like my stompy shoes
I bought a pair of boots the last time I was at the thrift store, costume shopping for Festival with nennivian* and katiescarlett29*. I actually wasn't planning on buying anything, just enjoying their company while they shopped, but I guess it's true what they say about when shopping with your friends, their encouragement will make you much more likely to shell out cash for something. ;-) I may have spent money I didn't so much have to that day, but I'm glad I did. The boots I bought because they were perfect for my costume as an ex-military demolitions expert in Diamond Geezers-- stompy black combat boots, heavy and ankle-high. They're a bit heavier and clunkier than my typical choice of shoe, but I like the thick rubber platform soles that allow them to have a not-insignificant heel while still staying very comfortable. The toe is a bit more bluntly shaped than I like, but it's not terribly noticeable. They also suit any number of costumes-- I think, after four years, they're finally the right shoe to wear with my Alice costume. Though they were picked specifically because of their costume-appropriateness, I find I like them for their own sake and have been wearing them a lot lately. That may be helped by the fact that my standard black shoe, my suede Pumas, I believe are still in morethings5*'s unicorn box, left there after taking them off in his performance piece. Jonathan, if you see this, I really must remember to get those back from you. ;-)
Also, either Steph or Charlotte, I don't remember exactly who, found a blue dress they thought would fit me. As I said, I wasn't really looking, but it did look to be my size, and I did like it. It is slightly sparkly and has some pretty gathering down the bodice, leading to a lightly flounced skirt. Sure enough, it fit like a charm, and I decided to take it home. I actually really like it, though I wish I had more opportunity to wear it. But I don't really have many fancy dresses. It's nice to have one that isn't either too costumey or too slutty to wear to an elegant event. Maybe I'll have a fancy dinner and ask all my guests to dress up, and give myself a chance to pull it out.
This reminds me that I really need to figure out better ways to store my shoes and costumes. I'm always trying to find ways to make my space at Elsinore more efficiently utilized, for neatness and for ease of use. The costumes, at the moment, are stuffed into a bag under my bed, and the shoes are on the floor of my closet. valleyviolet made a good suggestion about getting a hanging door rack, but my closet doors slide rather than swing, so there really isn't room. I wonder if those little floor shelving units would be very expensive, or take up too much room. I'd love to have my shoes stacked on them, easy to access and kept from getting lost. I'm sure I could find some kind of box for the costumes, again one that wouldn't take up too much room but still have space for my various pieces.
