Friday night

Dan took the girls to drum circle tonight, so I had the house to myself and could therefore play whatever music I wanted, as loud as I wanted.

Made a discovery--next time I'm able to do this, I need to make sure that nothing that's sitting on top of the entertainment center is near the edge. Because it will fall off. From the loud music. (I suppose it's best for the survival of my hearing that I can't do this too often...A)

Also I'm still up and wide awake because I had a real need for a Dr. Pepper earlier this eve, and there are no decaf equivalents. Bad idea. But damn, was it good!

Blot thoughts

I was thinking about Winter Finding coming up later this month; I'd written those two short pieces for Skadhi and UllR, and one of my kindred members found some musio for Skadhi that she wants to use--we don't usually have music, so that will he a nice change.

Usually our blot format is pretty simple--we do a round to each god we are honoring in that particular ritual, and anyone who wants to has an opportunity to say whatever the like, either prepared or off the cuff, or just to hail the god. I guess this is a little unusual, because in other blots I've been in, the horn goes around and folks hail all different gods during all the rounds. Which is fine--just different. I don't really want to switch to that--I rather like the devoted rounds--but am wondering about the possibility of having an additional round so folks can hail gods who they want to hail but who are not being specifically honored in that particular ritual. Just a thought.
