whee lame bullet point posts
1. UGH, WRITING IS HARD. I'm really glad I signed up for the Reverse Big Bang but I kind of wish I had built myself up to it first: this fic has the potential to reach semi-epic proportions if I'm not careful. But everything that would have taken me two seconds a few years ago (planning, plotting, SENTENCE STRUCTURE *shakes fist*) is taking me yeeeears instead. Sigh.
2. Yeah so Greg emailed me about culinary school a few weeks back, and I still haven't replied. I wish he'd just IM me or ask if I wanted to talk about this over coffee, because letter-writing is a skill I very conspicuously (though quite happily) lack, and HIS letter writing skills make me want to slap him upside the head, seriously. It's like getting an email from Frasier fuckin' Crane. JUST SPEAK LIKE A NORMAL 22 YEAR OLD WHO USED TO BE MY FRIEND, DAMN.
3. Mimic octopi are cool. Observe:
4. Got a copy of Art Culinaire the other week, which I'm hoping to get some lovely scans from, soon:
It's a great periodical. I just wish it didn't cost like 20$ an issue - but if I'm really honest about it it's well worth it. Hard-bound with beautiful sharp pictures and great interviews and recipes; it blows pretty much every other food mag out of the water.
5. And actually, it's especially awesome because it has a fairly in-depth interview with none other than Fergus Henderson, the owl-eyed, painfully British chef of my heart. LOOK AT HIIIIM AHHHH
"There is a certain Jedi knight quality to cooking."
Why yes, Fergus. Indeed there is.
6. COME TALK TO ME it's been horridly quiet all day and every time someone's been online I've practically pounced on them. I never know what to do with myself on vacation.
Anyway you can find me at: mybombazzinedoll (aim) and dunbar.meg (gtalk)
