OK,this is my semi annual post on licejournal.

I have an appointment to get inked tomorrow. I've had the idea for a time, but now I have a really good Tattoo artist staying with us, it seems a good idea to have him do some work for me.

For those coming to Pentacle Camp - you'll see it there. for others, I'll show you at a later time. Unfortunately I now have a total of 4 tattoos to get done, all craft/Wicca based, so after tomorrow it will be one down 3 to go.

Unfortnately the bow will not have arrived for midsummer.... but the rest of the stuff has... midsummer morning will be fun!

NO- I'm not going for a makeover!

I'm getting a nice new bow for Re-enactment and basic archery.

Made to order 30 lbs at 27 inches Longbow.

Yes, the low poundage is necessary as I fire at people. My current bow is 34 lbs at 25 inches (I don't draw it fully for that reason!)

I'm also having a bone plate put on as a bowyers mark, to protect the wood, my last bow is starting to get a small groove where the arrows pass.

Next there must be a dozen redhead arrows, and a further half dozen with anglo saxon field points on.

so - lots of stuff....once I work out pictures, they will be here too -

it only takes 6 weeks from order to delivery so hopefully bring it to pentacle camp at midsummer

Ok, I've resisted for years, but due to the eath of the designer of Pentacle, I've had to get a Mac. It's the end of my computer purity, and I feel sullied.

I've just bought an iMac 20 inch 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. At least it uses intel chips, so it's really a pc in drag.

So this next week, I'm learning Mac OS, and Quark.

I will eventually migrate to Adobe Indeign, as suggested by a couple of industry people... but as the templates are all in Quark for Mac, I'm not going to try to work out how to conert it just yet.

Oh well, there goes my Yule. There goes my Degree. There goes any free time for the next few months.

I'm going to have to go full time with Magic to make ends meet. I've got to step up my marketing for web design.

Fuck it all - life was good last week.....quick - get Jeanette to curse me more!

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: Very Sir Lord Baph the Villainous of Withering Glance Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title

Well - how apt!

So - in other news.

I'm still the editor of Pentacle Magazine. I'm still a Student on the BSc Medical Herbalism (me a Med. Student - I've got the white coat and everything)

Las Vegas is ON for next Samhain.

only 362 days to Xmas!

OK, Like taking over Pentacle Magazine as the Editor (although I've been doing the job for two years) wasn't enough to do, I've gone and signed up to do a BSc.

I'm now student scum at Westminster Uni, studying BSc Medical Herbalism. I thought I should post this news here... even if to remind me of my mood when I signed up to do the course. All I have to do now is sort out the loans, grants, bursaries, and finance... oh Joy!

So I shall be 40 when I graduate, and will have access to restricted plant materials... that'll sure be one hell of a party!

that is all
