God Auction, the wrap-up?

Dreamt about ridiculous feats of archery, battling and eventually reasoning with hordes of monsters (a bit like Davy Jones' Crew crossed with Alien's Xenomorphs, in this case), and then reasoning with the last surviving monsters, in order to get them a fair armistice and relocation. Yep, nothing to see here...

In not-unrelated news, the God Auction is done for 2007. Apollo did not win, but came in a very respectable 2nd, and still made some...well, impressions I think with some of his ideas. And the overall total in both food and money donations was massively increased, so that's definitely a success. More pictures can be found here and here, but my favorite is this one:


And now, work.

Word. I get very frustrated with the entropy of systems, though. The storage room is a case in point. Two summers ago, that baby was organized and spotless. I know because I did it myself. Two months later? Not so much. Now? Holy shit. Maybe what's more difficult is clarity of vision over time.

Yeah, our entropy level is bad (something to do with high turnover in leadership positions, despite the fact that our actual leaders/volunteers don't change too much), but I think freeing up some time from rotating in place might help with that.

The storage closet? I'm thinking plague arrows or fire, really. We've already got the mice...

I'd object, except that I was in there on Sunday, and the ratio of Things That Are Worth Using In Ritual to Things That Somebody Put Down Here In Case We Wanted One is pretty effing low.

I'll second that.
