November 2021 Wins

Off topic: it looks like Blogger finally updated its platform to resize images appropriately. It only took, what? 5 years?

I saw an old post of mine talking about wins, and it occurred to me that I don’t talk about that enough. I’d like to make a point of doing a post once a month about it, but… *shrug*

So November wins:

Made a bunch of new friends (a bunch at Luci) at the SEGD conference
Went to the Eastern State Penitentiary’s Halloween Nights
Went to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia
Was recognized a lot at IAAPA. I don’t have to work so hard to network anymore
Met my mentor Kile Ozier in person
Ran for the TEA board (and lost, but that’s okay)

Early December wins:

Spoke with Carol at the Smithsonian and got a TON of incredibly helpful feedback.
Won the bid for the Hamilton East Public Library largely (almost entirely) due to me
Impressed my MIA clients and am moving forward on that project
Met Marina Heck, a world famous and LOCAL pole dancer, who I’m planning on taking privates with
Started trapeze classes again with Annabelle. I totally sucked, but you gotta start back somewhere
Took a boxing workshop with my old instructor Donna. It’s been over a year since I’ve done combatives

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - "One Last Kiss" Drinking: Sen cha from Fava Tea Mood: Mellow-ish. Waking up Working on: Adding Crew 11 to the ISS Wall interactive in Atlantis Reading: Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern (audiobook). About to pick up Matilda by Roald Dahl. Remember when Livejournal used to have the tags at the end where you could add what you were listening to and what your mood was? Mine had little blue kitty icons that went with your mood and were very cute. I miss them. I particularly remember the 'productive' one, where the cat hat glasses on and was tapping on a keyboard. There was also one where it was snoozing and had little 'zzz's above its head. On a different note, I had never heard this song by Utada Hikaru before (well, apparently I had because I had already "liked" it on Pandora, but I don't remember it), but I really like it. I'm actually repeating it again. It gives old school Utada vibes but apparently came out ...

Weird dreams

I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping this week. Between a host of unrelaxing dreams, difficulties falling asleep, and difficulties staying asleep, I feel utterly exhausted during the daytime. Yesterday, I had so many odd dreams. In one of them, Skylar was a fluffy black cat like Sammie and I asked Brian at what age do children turn from cats into children, and he and Michelle made fun of me for thinking children were cats, even though she clearly was. He passed her over to me to hold at one point, but Skylar squirmed out of my grip right away, and I was confused how I was supposed to hold cat - children. I had a more concerning dream about Roto. In the dream, Trevor from KSC work, the gal that freelanced with us once at Roto who used to work there, and I had been hired on as freelancers to write had pitch two ideas for some kind of show. In the dream, the timeline aligned with this past weekend when I have been asked to guest lecture at UCF for their show writing...

First January in Orlando

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. For some reason, Blogger (a totally dead platform at this point) gives me “Let’s Go Ride a Bike” vibes - in a good way. Which, by the way, I just Googled and they haven’t touched their blog since 2015. What a shame. I really miss the days of blogs. Most of my writing has been done in a physical notebook, which in many ways I prefer; but in others, it doesn’t quite quench the thirst. One of the things I love about digital journaling is being able to add images and photos (like the one below). While physical journaling feels more intimate and perhaps, authentic in some ways, digital journaling feels more like a creating a story. Two different methods for two different outcomes. So why the photo of a plant? Well, first, this is a Monstera plant. I’ve loved it’s lines and the holes in its leaves for years, but I never learned its name because it’s not a native plant to Wisconsin. They are to Florida, however, and are super easy to fin...
