*jumpstarts the blog*

Okay, it's been over a month since I updated this.  Where to start...

• Organized some data, including a spreadsheet on when Equestria Daily had hit X million pageview milestones.
• On the time travelling beat, saw the most mind-numbingly awesome fireworks over Labor Day weekend. Swing by St. Maries (Idaho) one of these Labor Day weekends - you'll be glad you did.
• Saw episode 1 of Season 2 via streaming.  My sleep cycle is shot, but the event was worth it.
• Have been getting ready for the new school year, which starts this Wednesday.  Plans include organizing a massive singalong of "Winter Wrap Up" on March 19th, which is the last normal day of classes... and it's the day before the Spring Equinox.
• Went to the TVtropes page for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic [danger: TVtropes link!] and discovered a pair of links to the spreadsheet I had mentioned earlier.  Day has been made.  ^_^

Current to-do list includes completing assorted projects and remembering to update this blog.  See you later!

Busy August

Huh, almost forgot this.

Time for another round of time travel, so I'll be busy this weekend.

*looks for a pickax to use on this writer's block*

Back to the present

Just a short note that I'm back in modern day at functional levels.  Still need to finish pulling stuff out of transport, but for the most part I'm here.

The event was good - decent weather, no serious problems in either direction, and no major foul-ups over the weekend.  There were some interesting happenings, but they only make sense if you know all of the details, and I doubt that I could get across enough of them for it to be coherent.

One thing did stick in my mind, though...

At night, after most people had gone to bed and I was left awake to watch the fire burn down to coals, embers, and finally ash, my thoughts turned to idle pondering.  Gazing at the clear night sky full of stars and across the tranquil bay, I found that I could only think of one thing: are there realms beyond our own?  What are they like?  Would I fit in better there?  And perhaps... maybe I could make some friends...?

Late night before a long weekend

It's dark here, and I'm going to be calling it a night soon.  Usually I stay up later than this, but tomorrow's going to be busy, and the rest of the weekend will be even busier.

There's a Civil War event in Port Gamble this weekend, so I'll be time travelling about 150 years into the past on Friday and won't return to the present day until very late Sunday... or more likely, Monday.

Before I go to bed, however, I'm going to enjoy the night air.  It's peaceful, cool, and one of the best times for me to ponder things.  To be honest, I tend to be a nocturnal person by nature - given my druthers, I'd go to bed around dawn, wake up in the afternoon, and be awake for the night... but since I have to interact with a mostly diurnal city, my options are limited.

On the plus side, it makes me a natural for fire watch at Civil War events - I'll stay up as long as it takes for the campfire to burn completely down to ash.

Ah well - might as well enjoy the nights as they come... starting with this one!  Good night!
