(I have decided, incidentally, that this is one of my all-time favorite words.)
So San Francisco was lovely. Honestly, I could have very happily spent another few days there and just happily wandered. Eventually I'll even upload the photos - though there aren't too many.
I think that what it means is we need to go back. There's so much more I think we could have had fun with, regardless. Plus, some more hours at the museums are always really nice.
Anyway, it was a good trip. The Jean Paul Gaultier show at the deYoung was gorgeous but I admit that I adored The Cult of Beauty at the Legion of Honor even more. It was all the Victorian Avant Garde and so there were scads of Pre-Raphealite and similar things. Furniture, wallpaper, paintings, sculpture, clothing, etc. In terms of, well, post-Medieval the late 19th century is one of my all-time favorite periods.
They also had a few Beardsley pieces. I nearly squealed in glee.
Otherwise, stuff is mostly quiet. I'm in training of some form or another this week and next. The sheer amount of information that is crossing my screen is nearly overwhelming and once more I find myself incredibly scared/worried about how it's all going to come out. Of course I was like this before I started taking calls last year and look how that turned out. Things are processing for my senior advisor position and I'm, well, really happy.
Got the grade for the one class, as well as my diploma. There we go, I'm totally done. Maybe at some point I'll bother dredging up the BA and get that framed as well...
In terms of the SCA, now that I'm starting to settle down into a schedule and way of doing stuff, I'm actually slowly getting back on the wagon of arts and sciences. I've got a number of plans and at long last I have the time (sort of) to get them under way. I have books either here or coming and the supplies for most everything fabric-related that I'd like to make. Not sure if I'll manage anything for Kingdom A&S, though I'm going to try and brush up a few pieces of writing. Hopefully the schedule will allow for attendance at least at one day.
I downloaded no few number of articles from the UA's library database before my access was revoked, and they really do run a wide range of topics. I realize that above all, I adore the learning aspect of things. This probably has something to do with the fact that I tend to buy books almost obsessively. I may not need them now, but they are something that will be useful down the road.
Which is part of why I'm plotting an Anglo-Saxon overload in the next year. Bwahaha!
