foxinthestars: Hirschur looking like "seriously?" (honzuki srsly)
I'm in the US lower midwest, and this is the second time this month that the temperature has spiked into the upper 80s/lower 90s F. It's due to happen again later this week, too. And we need to get our air conditioner worked on.

I asked the internet what the climate is like in Whitehorse, Yukon. It sounded lovely.

I really seriously hate hot weather, to the point that if I felt able to relocate somewhere colder, I would. In the SCA, summer is the big season for outdoor events and wars, but my own policy is "A/C or I'm not going."

I just changed my default icon from my old cartoon fox to my SCA coat of arms. The first time I showed up to a meeting of my shire, I said I was there to nerd out about history (hence the book) and do crafts (hence the knot), and that has been holding up well.

Been busy the last couple of days and haven't posted. We got my mom ready and took her to the doctor, which is a big job these days, but we got it done and hopefully the doctor visit will result in some progress.

On the fannish side, for the first time in years my fanfic spigot has opened, and draft Honzuki fics are pouring out. I've got one complete draft one-shot and another that's most of the way there. I don't know how long this will last, and I kind of don't know what to do with them? Like, "post to Ao3" is the obvious thing, but where does one find beta readers these days? Do I need a beta reader that much? Do I need to do canon review (and if so, how many of the canon's three-dozen-plus volumes need reviewing)? What do I want out of posting these fics? It seems like a waste not to, but if I ask myself whether I want comments and kudos the answer seems to be "not that much" (on the other hand, disabling comments is not an appealing notion). Well, these are solvable problems if I calm down and work through them.

The first time I said this, it was filtered, so I'll say it again: So far I am enjoying being back! It's early days yet, but I feel like DW addresses a real craving I was having.

No profound new material today; I'm tired.

Yesterday I had a dentist appointment plus my weekly SCA meeting. It was a project night, a new person came, and we had some really nice conversation as we all introduced ourselves (and prompted each other about all the stuff we did) and tried to give some newcomer info. Unfortunately for our post-meeting restaurant trip, it was one of those nights Panera was out of everything; we all wanted warm soup but like everybody else in the county probably already had wanted warm soup, so I ended up resorting to the French Onion. It didn't taste bad, but not good enough to get again, plus it was a gamble; sometimes too much onion doesn't agree with my tummy, but I got away with it this time.

Then today I did my weekly-or-so Walmart pickup and got lunch from the local Senior Center; they were doing corned beef and trimmings for St. Patrick's day. I totally forgot to wear green, tho.

I've been thinking of doing like a read-along here, going through a light novel series I like bit by bit and posting about it. Honzuki (Ascendance of a Bookworm) is the most likely candidate, but if I wanted space for on-first-reading material I could do Weakest Tamer, or I'm also quite fond of Beware of Chicken (which is Canadian not Japanese but still essentially a webnovel-turned-light-novel).
