Had the oddest dream last night about having to rescue Conduit from the man who made death threats against him. There were demons and teleporting involved. It was a bit Dick Francis meets Doctor Who meets Buffy, or maybe Angel. I would totally watch that if it were a tv show ( Read more... )

Long weekend.  In sum:

• some amazing horse racing, in both the Kentucky Oaks and the Kentucky Derby.  Though whoever texted me right after the Derby to comment on the race, don't ever do that again, as you shouldn't talk about race results before you are sure the other party has seen the race!  I appreciated that in the Derby broadcast there was ( Read more... )

and admitted that I was sick, and that I should listen when a doctor tells me to rest.  So today I am home.  I slept about ten and a half hours last night; I feel slightly yuckier today than yesterday, but maybe that's because I'm letting myself slow down enough to feel it.  Hopefully a day of real rest will do the trick.  I do have to do laundry ( Read more... )

I invented a yummy dinner last night, which I record here so I won't forget it.  I sauteed garlic in olive oil, mixed that with more olive oil and some balsamic vinegar, and used that dressing to coat some zucchini and yellow pepper skewers, as well as some slabs o' extra firm tofu, pressed to get the extra water out.  Meanwhile I had some sundried ( Read more... )
