OK, I've had people complaing about me not doing con reports.  I stopped doing them partly out of laziness, partly because I don't think they'd be that interesting, and partly because I really wasn't getting any comments, and don't particularly feel like investing a couple hours into a report that gets zero feedback ( Read more... )

I had one (1) person say they wanted to see me posting again, so here's a brief recap of some current events:

Went to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Pirates of the Carribean 5 (?).  During PotC some woman in my row texted through the whole movie.  You think if you paid full price (this was an evening show) you'd want to actually watch the movie ( Read more... )

It looks like the mouthwash I've been using on-and-off might be the cause of, or contributing to, the swollen salivary gland.  I had a repeat of it last week, coincidentally after I used the mouthwash.  God forbid i try to do anything proactive about my dental health.  So back to drinking gallons of water with lemon in it ( Read more... )

To put it poetically, this cold sucks monkey balls.  Still have the cough, and it indeed has migrated to my sinuses.  While not incapacitating, it has left me pretty run-down and just 'blah ( Read more... )

Sorry I've been lax in my posts-- not a whole lot interesting to talk about ( Read more... )

( Very long, as usual, so behind a cut )

Not posting much because I'm gering up (mentally and product-wise) for FC.  Supposed to fly up fairly early Thursday and leaving Sunday night ( Read more... )

Kraft Grated American Cheese is/was a dietary staple to use with pasta since childhood. Unfortunately it's gotten harder and harder to get.  The 1 store in the LA area that carried it stopped a few years ago.  I was reduced to buying it in bulk online.  But now the price for those bulk purchases has skyrocketed to almost double.  Can I justify ( Read more... )
