a month named after doors?

all latin cracks aside, this has certianly been an... interesting month. lotsa stuff to catch up on, though i'm not gonna get into all of it, just cause if i ever change my mind and decide to become a politician, well, thats it really...

first off, latin convention rocked. completely. we did really well in certamen and i got 5th in vocab, so that was pretty cool. can't say too much more about that, just because, so there it is.
oh and our latin shirts got banned and confiscated so i hate admin

ski team has been going well. i havent been to an alpine valley practice/race in, oh... about three weeks, cause i was sick and @ high school practice and at convention. yeah, i've been doing pretty well on the high school team though and im probly gonna be on varsity if people keep screwing up, which is just fine with me. the only thing that sucks is that if we go to state, then we'll miss TWIRP, and that would really suck.

in even happier news, the gophers swept wisconsin in wisconsin and that was awesome cause i ran down the halls yelling "the badgers fuckin suck". i swear i almost got lynched, but it was so fun i couldnt resist. it got better when i wore my jersey to school on monday; even more bad looks and not-so-subtle threats. yeah, it was fun. i just wish i had had history that day. oh well.

in other news, HiTN 5 is coming along very well. i'm around page 220 or something like that. it would certainly be very nice to get it all done and taken care of by the end of the year (just the kami part, that is) but i'm not sure that'll happen. maybe once my weekends lighten up a little i'll be able to get soemtihng don. beyond that, i'm toying with a new map layout for IoF and the following, that mainly being a closeup of the big world map, everything focused around a river that runs from the Wall of the Gods up to the very southern edge of the Inner Sea. Very interesting, but i gotta play around with it a little more.

my shitty story got into wayfarer, which i guess i'm kinda happy about, though it really wasnt that goo.

read some of HiTN 3 and was rather surprised by just how good that actually was. certainly too messed up to ever merit working on further, but that summer produced some of my better work between that and misery rose.
