erik_j_meyer just nudged me because I've not posted in a while.

So- what I'm up to:

I recently planted a bunch of herbs/vegetables. There's a small ceramic strawberry container of marjoram, thyme, sweet basil, cilantro, chives, and curly parsley sitting in my kitchen. I set it up on this past Friday and already have some of the seeds sprouting. I also got some peat pots and started the following this past Sunday- Basil (Fino Verde, Lemon, Spicy Globe, Sweet Italian, Thai), Chamomile, Chives, (Garlic, Regular), Cilantro, Dill (Fernleaf, Mammoth), Lavender, Lemon Balm, Mint (Common), Onions (White Lisbon- aka Scallions), Oregano, Parsley, Rosemary (French), and Sage. Those are sitting outside on a bench in plastic trays.

I've got some steampunk jewelry ideas, and found a source for parts. Granted, it's an online source so I'm starting to contact the local watch and clock repair shops, as well as thrift/consignment stores for cheaper (possibly free?)local sources. I also ended up finding a pair of old safety goggles/automotive glasses when helping to clear out my aunt's shed a week or two ago. So I'm starting to develop a steampunk outfit. Hopefully it'll be ready for Halloween.

Job search = slow, painful, and depressing.

Roleplaying games- going strong. I got a chance to hang out on Sunday with people (including

datascavenger and [Bad username or site: sunatrya, @ livejournal.com]) and play Kobolds Ate My Baby!. I'm preparing for the D&D 4th Edition release (a gift certificate from [Unknown site tag]'s father and his girlfriend paid for the pre-order of the set) which is tomorrow.
