| RenFest |
| 09.21.03 (7:32 am) [edit] |
Yesterday I went to the MD RenFest with a group from my Wicca Circle. We got there before it opened and were there almost until closing. All in all, a fun day. :)

I called the Renaissance Festival number yesterday to see if there was any info about their plans for Saturday. I expected a recording, but was surprised by a person answering, so I asked him if they had any plans for Saturday re: Isabelle. His initial reply was to ask if I meant Queen Isabelle BEFORE he realized I was talking about the hurricane.

Okay, so it was not Saturday, close enuf. YOU find a better song.*pbbt*
Today I was going to Rock Creek Park in DC for a cook-out.
On the way there, a guy almost collided with me on the train platform. We both got on the train and a few stops later someone else got on with a pentacle and remarked that he liked my buttons and we chatted for a few seconds. When he got off the train the original guy, maybe seeing that I was friendly with a stranger, walked up to me again and I could smell the alchoholic cloud around him. He muttered something and I said I did not understand him (I assume it was in Spanish), so he switched to English: it turns out he wanted to hit on me, said I was gorgeous (err, thanks, but I would rather have someone in full controll of their faculties make that judgement) petted the back of my hand twice, then got off the train. If I had not been so shocked or been traveling with a friend...
Anyway, I eventually reached my stop and walked to the cook-out. I had brought some veggie-burgers, so I chowed down with the other vegetarians and talked to various people. Eventually, it was getting time to wrap things up, and I got a ride with two other people back home, where we decided to get Ethiopian food. Andrea had already eaten dinner, so just the three of us went to a nearby place and sat and talked for a bit before/after eating.

| What else would I be writing on? |
| 09.11.03 (8:01 am) [edit] |
I have been watching some of the coverage of the memorials this morning.
At one point I took a break to watch the Sci-Fi channel and an episode
of Bablyon 5. The episode they chose was most appropriate: the 'dominant
belief system' for Earth is demonstrated: a long line of
people, all from different religions (or
none). Ironically, the episode I was expecting to be
on there today was the last one of the series, which overall contained a
feeling of hope, even though it was ending some things. Which was more
appropriate? That is an interesting question.
Ob random 9/11/01 memories:
At the time I was working just outside of DC on a White House
contract ... when we heard about potential attacks there we knew the
people that were being evacuated.
My partner and I live just south of the Pentagon. She managed to get a
ride home that day, but I took a train that runs under that attacked
building. The next morning the smoke from the crash was in everything
in the halls of our appartment building.
Since we are just south of the Pentagon, that also means we are near
National Airport as well. Until flights resumed there, something I was
used to (planes always in the air around me) just suddenly stopped.
What really gelled the events for me was one scene on TV. All it was was a
shot of a single shoe in the pile of rubble in NYC.

| So that disk did not work ... |
| 09.08.03 (7:57 am) [edit] |
Yesterday was my Wicca class and I originally told Andrea I would be back by 7 pm. Well, 11:30ish is only a LITTLE after 7, right?
During the class I mentioned that I had not seen 'The Two Towers' yet, and probably would not see it with Andrea until October (even though I had bought the DVD itself right after the day opened the day it was released). The general consensus was that a few of us there would watch it after class, so when it concluded 2 of us made a quick trip to go get a copy. Unfortunately, I had no way of telling Andrea I would be a bit late that evening.
After a little more than an hour into the movie the disk started having problems and refused to play anything more after that. After several attempts, cleaning the disk, and several people trying to tell the bugs to begone, we finally gave up and decided to watch another DVD instead ('Bless the Child'). Fortunately, we got through that one and I got home, a bit later than when I planned to be there.

| Got a picture taken |
| 09.04.03 (7:57 am) [edit] |
One of the places I volunteer at wants to do a writeup for
me for their newsletter, so the other day they did a mini-interview and
took my picture. I thought I looked funny in the pic, but it is at
