Getting Medieval @ Renaissance Faire


chessboard
This past Sunday I attended the annual Kutztown University Medieval Renaissance Faire.  It’s sponsored by the Renaissance Club of the university and is held every year on the weekend before spring semester finals.  The giant chessboard you see is actually for their live action chess game which club members choreograph and put together using themselves as pieces.  Cool fights with medieval weapons are also done, my friend and I watched some of members fence.
Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing rules of the administration at Kutztown U each year the event seems to get smaller and smaller.  They used to have food venders, but in the interest of being brats the school decided if you don’t use the schools food service you cannot have any. There were some nice items for sale like chainmail jewelry and such as well.

This is my friend Cara wearing a chainmail necklace that she bought.  I love all the different bright colors. 
All in all it was a nice outing.  I got to hang out with a good friend enjoy the nice weather and went home with a kumrc T-shirt that I bought.

Need Help!





So, I finally have enough content to start posting the blog on blog listing sites.  There is only one problem I have no idea how to categorize it!  Every blog submission site asks you along with the URL and description is a category. I consider it a personal blog. Some sites, however, do not have that as a category choice.  So, here is where you come in! What other words do you think would fit? I don’t want to be incredibly egotistical and say celebrity for sure.  I have a little bit of everything here with even more awesomeness in the future.  Any help would be awesome!

Sylvia Browne’s Oh S*** Face!


Someone’s feeling stupid the last couple days thanks to a surprise in the form of a crappy prediction. Here’s a video to fill you in: (lot of details)
Sylvia Browne dead wrong!
It amazing how much coverage this is getting and rightfully so!  When hunting for a picture two pages worth was dedicated to pictures posted within the last day or so!  I think that this is a reality check for everybody involved.  For Sylvia it is one because she has gone on far to long saying what she wants without having to worry about being double checked.  For others it’s a reality check because you can’t believe what someone says when their popular on TV.  There are some legitimate psychics out in the world I will say that.  I do not however think Sylvia is one of them. Maybe she was good in the beginning, but once the money started rolling in through national TV appearances and her many book deals she stopped caring so much about the people and  problems and more on the bottom line. Keep checking in as I will continue to follow this ever evolving story and update you!
