Why did you wake up so much?

Once in a while, he'll be struck with an unquenchable thirst between the hours of 11:30 and 4:30, and since he sleeps on my bed, I hear him get up when he jumps down onto the floor.
Oversleep Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Okay, I wanted to post here but then I realized I'd need to give some context and stuff and I wouldn't want to spam the topic... Have you heard of Polish Legends short films? You should watch them. I made a thread for it so I can give context and stuff Edited January 26, 2017 by Oversleep 2
Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Isn't it geomancy not lithomancy?\ cos Lithomancy involves scrying stones, camera obscuras and other mirror like rocks to divine the future
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Well, then. I haven't been officially informed as of yet, but given that the meeting minutes from last week make mention of me being "chair in training" for 2018, I think there's a pretty good chance that the board voted in favor of me chairing ConQuesT in 2019. 4

Once the con was on my radar, I got asked if I'd be willing to work as staff in 2016. I did, and was the con liason for our artist GoH that year. This year they have me running GoH liasons. It's like they think I'm a responsible adult or something.

So is being appointed the chair a good thing because you love cons? Or too overwhelming? 2

I mean, it's the one that I've dedicated a good chunk of my time and energy, so it's a pretty good thing. It is also overwhelming, cause it'll be a lot of work, but that's a lot of the reason why they're going to ease me into it. 2018, I will be a vice chair, shadowing the co-chairs and learning the ropes. Then I'll run the show in 2019. After that...I dunno. Maybe I'll go into a rotation pool of potential chairs or something. It's a good system, and keeps any one person from dealing with the burden of chairing the con every single year.
Oversleep Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I've added the second film in Polish Legends series. Check it out:
Kaymyth she/her Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 OK, the last time political talk hit this thread, it was a hot mess (and I say this being fully aware that I was one of the perpetrators). This looks to me like a powderkeg waiting for a match to be struck. I'm hiding the posts in question, not because of agreeing or disagreeing with the content, but because the subject matter is still bitterly divisive and the course of conversation is almost certainly going to go pear-shaped.
Quiver he/him Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 ...so... I'm wondering if it's worth starting a blog? But that makes me wonder just what I have to offer. I mean, I know I ramble and talk about comics a lot, but comic blogs are a dime a dozen, and I don't know if my perspective us different enough to be of interest. (Though I do want to do a blow by blow comparision of the Civil War comics...) 3

What blogging site would you use?

Left he/him Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 I do actually find your opinions and analysis of comics to be really fun and well done, and makes me feel up to date on comic lore.
Silverblade5 he/him Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 @Oversleep Something you might find interesting 1
Oversleep Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) I put third film of Polish Legends up (plus some explanations, links to music, sources to read up etc): I think that one is my second favorite. I'll probably put up the remaining two films over the weekend. Enjoy. 39 minutes ago, Silverblade5 said: @Oversleep Something you might find interesting Yes, this was very interesting.

The anti-PDA forces here are mildly terrifying. Only mildly terrifying? Also, who gets them said list?
