I am still here, still looking for work, and thinking about looking for a place to live. I haven’t got anything from the temp agencies yet, and I keep applying for costume/wardrobe stuff with no results yet. I’m going to apply with a temp agency in Long Beach on Monday if I don’t get a call for work.

Last weekend I was up in the mountains at an SCA event called Winter Weekend. It’s a really neat laid-back event where you hang around the hearth, work on your own craft projects and eat. I got to learn another form of weaving – Fingerloop Weaving. And I learned it from an honest-to-God rocket scientist! She (the former Baroness of Lyondemere) was really cool and we had a great time!

I think I might not go to Estrella War this year after all, (and I’m going to call you soon Miriam, honest!). Some folks here are also planning a tiny alternate event for our barony for the people not going, though it’s only going to be a one-night-mundane-campout among friends thing. It would also be in Malibu which is an easy drive away, (as opposed to the 10-hour drive each way to sleep in the dessert in February!) I also really don’t have the money for Estrella. Maybe next year I’ll get to try out my rug…
