Finish, Finish

My time has been monopolized by the things I need to do in r/t from day to day.. which really only revolve around two things; Pennsic and the show.

Rehearsals have run from 6-11pm every night all week, and it’s gotten to where I didn’t even know what day it was today. We’ve been working outside on the stage, which is nice, but it’s been getting cooler in the evenings. I may bring a sweatshirt tonight.

Mostly getting ready for Pennsic entails that I’m sewing… and planning… and everything like that. Sewing has slowed down as I try to help Chip make clothes for himself as well. My sister better bring back my garb that she borrowed.. at the rate I’m going I won’t have enough clothes for Pennsic.

Which reminds me.. I need to get back to work… it’s already 2:30 and I leave for rehearsal at 5.

P.S. I did a paper route with Chip for the first time ever this morning. I’ll tell you about it later.

Haha you stopped by – I didn’t think you would, what with my disappearing for vast amounts of time. Remember the whole story about being kidnapped that I made up the first time I disappeared? Just pretend that happened again, ok? The truth is much more banal. -Dinner

Hey Kari, wanted to say hi. I still miss you and will miss not seeing you at Pennsic. Laying on the grass with you next to me, looking at the sky. Climbing out of my tent to see you waiting expectantly. All sights I cherish and regret being unable to repeat. I miss you, I miss my other friends, but I don’t miss the SCA. It is sad. You know my number. Brandon “Smiley” Phillip

You know I always prefer the truth. I was hit today by a guy running a red light. I’m not hurt too bad (primarily a facial burn from the airbag and welts from seat belt), but my father is in the hospital right now (likely he fractured his lower abdomenal vertebra). Write soon. Smiley
