I think about PAX every single day, probably at least 10 times each day. Last year’s event pretty much helped me make up my mind that I wanted to pursue gaming journalism for real, and not just in a free podcast I did twice a month. Being within that element in a professional setting really did it for me. This is what I need to be doing.

That makes this year’s even even more special. When I realize how far I’ve come in regards to these dreams, it’s overwhelming, sometimes. This will be my first time going to PAX as something other than “just” a gamer and I can’t wait.

In other news, I’m in the process of developing an easy way to capture all “grey water” in my house to recycle in my garden. I already have a rain barrel for capturing rain water, but now I’m capturing water from one of my sinks, too. Next is the kitchen sink, because without a dishwasher, I waste a lot of perfectly good water doing dishes. Using that water on my garden will help save water (and money) tremendously. So the agenda includes eventual collection of all grey water into usable garden water and the installation of another rain barrel. Then for next year, more garden area! I just wish my yard wasn’t so shady.
