A few random things now that I have time to post...

[usernamenumber]

This is my first mostly-day-off in... damn, a really long time. Closing night of EDTM tonight, and hopefully will get some progress made on the workwork project on which I remain behind, but other than that, today has been spent either running low-stress errands (yay sunny day and things within walking distance!!) or sitting in bed with tea and goodfoods, trying to recover from the cast party. MIT's musical theater guild has some... ill-advised traditions, IMO, not least of which being having the cast party the night before closing. There's a rationale for doing it that way, but suffice it to say I am achey, grossly underslept, and, as Henry Rollins once put it, "my body feels like Billy Idol himself". I have no idea what that actually means, and yet it seems to capture what I feel like right now nonetheless. Still, just one more show. If can just baby my voice enough today to pull off one more non-sucky performance this evening, I will go out with a bang and all will be well.

In other news, I owe redfishie big time for introducing me to Raquy and The Cavemen. I can't decide whether listening to them makes me want to pick up my doumbek and play more, or never bother touching it ever again. Seriously, if this track in particular blows my mind. MUST. SEE. THIS. LIVE. I will dance until I break, and then I will die happy.

In other other news, I have officially run out of space for both clothes and costuming in my closet, which raises a serious question: where am I gonna put all my clothes now?

Clothing storage - if they fit under your bed, under bed storage boxes and rotate clothes by season. At the end of the season (I go by war and cold, some people use four, I'm not that organized) you pull out all of the clothes for that season and get rid of (donate, burn, make into rags and quilts, whatever) the ones that you didn't wear. Put the rest into storage, pull out the new season clothes.

Costumes also work well for underbed storage. And bondage equipment.

The only caveat is that those with ADHD can tend to suffer from "If I can't see it, it doesn't exist" and so boxes/storage can get really messy really easily and quickly if you aren't super careful with making a point to fold everything when you put it away in the box. Forgetting about teh box under the bed is easy and fine at that point.

Glad you like Raquy ! - the more I learn about drumming the more I appreciate her

She and her bandmate(s) come up periodically to New England (I know Raquy did a show in Northampton this past Fall, and a drumming instruction day the following day) so if you keeps your eyes open you may be able to catch them. Or you could always go to something like Pennsic...though that's a different ball of wax in many ways. I blame that conversation, plus a few others events/things in the last few days - the turning of the season, and making garb recently for the intense drumming / Pennsic at night dreams I had last night. :)

MIT students? Bad ideas? NEVER. </sarcasm>

Glad the show has been going well!
