October Madness, part 2

It’s been just about a year since I started posting here, and I’m pleased about two things. First, things in my life haven’t slowed down at all. Second, they’re getting better. There’s definite progress happening, and I can see that by reading the last eight months of posts. Last October I was getting used to grad school and getting ready to speak at Ignite. This month, well, it’s time for one of those “What I’m up to” posts.  (more…)

Obligatory Thanksgiving Post

It’s a long weekend, so I spent a little more time on this update. It also took a little more time to write. I wanted to be thankful for something other than friends and family. I am, in the abstract, but in general they take up most of my life. I did lots of things this week, saw a lot of great friends, made some new ones, taught some kids some circus skills, and played probably more games than I should have. I spent Saturday night with the family I made, and Sunday dinner with the family I was born with, where I noticed the family game for the first time. We have our own family game, the Tigwells do. You might be familiar with it, it’s called “I’m Right.”  (more…)

Finding Your Voice

The thing is, it sometimes takes a little time. This week’s been pretty good for that, between finding voices in D&D, singing with the band, and most importantly, finding my voice in writing and action. It’s been a bit of a week, but things are looking pretty interesting. This isn’t about my itinerary, though. This is about finding your voice.  (more…)

The Hunt is On

I’ve spent most of the week in an internet wasteland, which unsurprisingly drives me utterly mad. Things start to fall behind, and there’s only so long I can work from my phone. Writing blog posts and hunting for jobs become very difficult without a connection. I spent many a night hunting for coffee shops and restaurants that didn’t mind me sitting there for six to seven ours working, as well as interviewing for jobs and babysitting a wonderful pair of kids. I want to start writing about my job hunt soon, because I’m learning a lot of helpful things. It’s been a busy week, but here’s what I’ve done in brief, and the things I’ve learned from my experiences.  (more…)

Hope Springs Eternal

I did a lot of things this week. I applied for jobs, played D&D, gave a guitar lesson, and went to my first open night at Kwartzlab. I went to the symphony, learned some great new songs at band practice, helped a friend move a cabinet, and learned how to win with Eldar. Earlier today, I was going to write about all of that. Well, some of that. But I thought I’d wait until after I got back from Hopespring Cancer Support Centre’s grand opening to write this, just in case. I was right to do it. The people I met there and the stories they shared with me really hit home and reminded my why I love doing work with them.  (more…)
