When you can't have afternoon tea because you've gone through the bottled water you brought to work and refuse to pay $1.25 for a bottle out of the vending machine or to use tap water...

Yes, I'm both picky and cheap. xD

Buy a large pack of bottled water and keep it in the car (or elsewhere), it's what a teacher of mine does. She buys a whole pack or two of bottled water and keeps it in her classroom.

In any case I'm feeling extremely...drained right now...I'm not particularly sure why.

Did I mention I'm also lazy?

Aww...sounds like you need to rest and recharge.

RIT, my university, made their first video game available for both the Xbox One store and the Steam store, and it's on Humble Bundle.

Check out Hack, Slash, and Backstab!

I'm feeling a little better now than I did earlier...still feel mentally tired though.

I miss you @Chanku, Mein Herr

So I ended up getting ideas for a new story centered around the life of a shapeshifter.  Here's a small blurb for the beginning of the first chapter:

I am everybody, and I am nobody.

I've been almost everything you can imagine: a doctor, scientist, artist, celebrity, and even a teacher.  That teller that cashed your check last week?  I was probably them at one point.  That woman you had sex with last night?  For all you know, that was me.  I've probably been every person you've met, every friend you've made, every family member you've cried to, and every lover you've kissed.

And you'd never know it was me.

I was going to start working on a State of the Region address, but then I realized that I don't really want to do them anymore. They're long, self-important monologues that take a long time for me to write that provides no real benefit to the region. I would rather do something that's more informal, timely, and interactive. I think we're going to try to do a really informal weekly regional meetings of some kind...over IRC, Discord, Skype...I'm not sure yet, but I think it would be cool if there were something that all Citizens and residents could come to to interact with me and the Cabinet, where people that want to do things in the region can talk about what they want to do and pitch their ideas, and where people can ask questions about anything in the region and get real answers right there...maybe even have a back and forth if it happened.

Instead of something where I announce my thoughts on the state of the region seasonally, something where everyone talks about the state of the region every week.

Would love to know anyone's thoughts and ideas on the best way to go about doing something like this.

I approve

IRC only. No discord or skype...they both are awful and should be avoided...

Also Wintermoot you kinda have to do the address anyway:

7. The Monarch shall regularly inform the Storting regarding the state of the region in the form of an address.

It's constitutionally required :|

I was considering including voice chat in the meeting.

Time to write an amendment then! Though its not like anyone is going to sue Wintermoot over it

I don't see a point to include voice chat...besides we have a mumble server.

I can rarely use IRC.
