I have been sick since Friday. I thought I was better today, but I am not. I have been eating and tolerating more food, at least, which feels like improvement, but I am still very low energy

I'd wanted to do a bunch of writing on Friday but lacked the brainpower. Instead, on flamebyrd's suggestion, I created a pseud on my AO3 account for all my drabbles: Precisely_Measured_Words. It was too clever to pass up! Plus about half my works on AO3 are drabbles, so it made sense to separate them out.

If I still don't feel well tomorrow, I'll not be going to the museum - the hour long commute, each way, seems like a terrible idea :p Last week when I was there they had me cataloging, also. Starting a new collection of thousands of things... the curator was very impressed with my ability to write tiny legible numbers. I have been doing this a very long time now... My very first experience of archaeology had me writing tiny legible numbers. I will never escape it. Theoretically I may be learning a lot more about projectile points than I have ever needed to know previously, but we'll see. I am not an expert but a lot of the pieces I was looking at were crap ass "replicas". We did know that going in, at least, and there are a lot of legit pieces in the collection. I would say I have no idea how long it will take to get through it all, except that the answer is "forever". Meh :| There is a job open at that museum but it is a community coordinator job. Meeeeeeh.

I don't wanna be sick any more :( Also I have been sleeping for shit on top of it. I have had some good dreams but haven't had a chance to write them down, alas!

Good thing though - lots of fun chatting + gaming this weekend :) Hooray for the internet!

*Waves at the internet world*

So, last week, naryrising was visiting! It was super awesome to spend so much time with her! And then last weekend we got to go to Webercon, and see a bunch of other people I don't get to see in person all that much, for a full weekend of gaming. We got in on Thursday and got to go out to the pasture to meet kennesaw's parents cows. Babby cows! Some of them will eat right out of your hand :3

( Friday the games started )

I wrote another series of drabbles based on all the games I was in (we had 2 games running in almost every slot, so I missed out on some things), which you can look at over here if you like, though I don't promise they will make sense (and the Diablotin ones are spoilery, especially the first): Webercon 2015 Drabbles

( The food this year was really excellent! )

Other than that, it was great to see people, and meet a few new folks! My game groups tend to not fit standard 'gamer' demographics, so there were more women in attendance than men (by one, or maybe two, because I think one of the people I didn't get to talk to much is a little more genderfluid? I know they are present that way some online by their partner, but I don't know them well >.>), and more women running games than men (5 women, 3 guys.... One guy ran 2 games). Also, all the new people were partners brought in by women who had been members of the core group for much longer. We played a bunch of Telephone Pictionary, which is always great in larger groups, and one round of the card game that kennesaw is working on developing. It is complicated but fun! Watch this space for a kickstarter some day ;) Some other folks played other kinds of pick-up games. We also watched a ton of Gravity Falls - it seems like each year we sort of unofficially settle on one show to mainline, and it was this year's pick. And of course there was a lot of staying up late taking about random rap and just hanging out - an exhausting weekend, but truly excellent!
