I grew up with Star Wars. It has literally been a part of my life since I was born. It was the first movie my parent went and saw after they were married. When I was really little, I remember watching it every time it was on. Other than baseball, it was the only thing my Dad would watch, seriously sit down and watch. I grew up knowing the Force was real. I grew up knowing someday, I could take a crystal and make my own lightsaber, and believe me, I tore up a few flashlights trying…

ACT II SCENE II:

The front room of the mansion. It is a jumble of furnishings, some with dustcloths over them, some without. A goodly layer of dust covers all. There is also quite a dusty, musty smell. CR&A plus K. enter cautiously.

A. Pfah! Sure smells deserted! (Continues inward) I guess we should look around for-

M. Wait, Mist- Miss Adele! The layer of dust is.... uneven. Please do not disturb it further!

A. Whoops! Dang! Sorry, Marie. You and Sabeetha make…

 The Symposium is done for another year, I have my ticket for next year, and I have plans, evil plans. I need to survive another convention this weekend though before those plans start to come together. Morphicon is usually a great place for me to make sales of the sparklies and goodies I make, I hope this year is no exception.

I also intend to attend the next build day and the Privateer's Promenade in the next couple of weeks as well as…

It won't take long for steampunk makers to mash up something like this. In fact, I'm surprised I haven't seen it yet.

Today's frustration:

After gruelling for the 1.5 hours and most of the 84 alg 1 questions, my math students still didn't finish their test. They were 2 pages shy of being done, and they still had bubble sheets to fill out. I made arrangements with them to finish the next day and went up stairs with them to their math teacher.

Me: We didn't finish.

T: Well they had an hour and a half, they should have finished.

Me: they still have like 2 pages left, can we finish it…

The thing with my family was we never had steady work. Other families lived in the desert as well, and they would create stories about us and our integrity. They would make it a point to tell the city folk that we worked with Demons, or create rumors that our family had interbred with them to steal our customers away. Work would wane, but because we provided consistent service to our clients, they would return with their needed services and the other families would be out of work for a…

If it was just myself, I would get up at 5am, like I normally do for work, and get going by 6. Euphorbia, on the other hand, is always much more leisurely and is satisfied with arriving just when the convention programming is getting under way mid afternoon so she would have preferred to leave at 10. I thought 8am was a reasonable compromise.



We got going at around 9.
