September

[corpsebrigadier]

I'm always taking long breaks from posting here, and this time it's because most of September has just been running and amping up for local elections season. I'm pretty happy about it though. I've made it past the peak of my training program and--having made it to 20 miles--I'm pretty sure that I'm going to pull off 26 in a few weeks. I also volunteered at two local political candidates forums this month, and I was delighted to make municipal politicians squirm as I asked them to name a single native plant and single noxious weed as legally defined.

Other than that, I got my shots for the season, I've been chipping away at a zine fic, and I'm still doing a ton of baking/cooking. I'm planning on quitting my remaining socmed when The Ivalice Chronicles come out and then just winnowing things down to DW and personal sites. In general, withing the scope of my own life, things are pretty nice.

<3 congrats on the looming marathon (that is what 26 miles is, right?) & sounds like a really nice September~

Yep. 26.2 miles to be a little more exact. Just gotta work up to that number by October 4, and I should be golden. :]

Absolutely fantastic thing to grill politicians about.

It was an absolute delight of a moment. Lots of audience laughs and grimaces. Local politicians are one of the most underrated forms of entertainment in the modern world.

Ahahahahah making politicians understand their own definitions is always a delight.

I will say that my fave candidate absolutely nailed it and named two whole noxious weeds in addition to saying he like milkweed because it attracted so many butterflies. Still.... there was a lot of awkward hemming/hawing/audience laughter. >:]

Good job, fave candidate!
