I was reading an article about cupping (where they put a heated glass bubble on your back & create a vacuum to draw out toxins) which claimed that you only bruise if you have lots of toxins, and that in the worst case scenario the bruises will fade in about five days. If that is the case, I must be the Toxic fricking Avenger, man. I should have *superpowers*, dammit. Also, Harry Potter was perfectly fine. It’s a Harry Potter movie. :) miles to Minas Tirith: 466.5
I need…
…to live someplace where there are enough people I know around that I can throw Dessert Parties. I have all these great dessert cookbooks (Mrs Fields’ I LOVE CHOCOLATE Cookbook, a cheesecake cookbook, an ice cream recipe book…) and no reason to make any of the desserts in them. There are a hundred recipes in the Mrs Fields book. It could take years to go through just /that/ one. But the desserts are mostly too extravagant to make just for two people, and they’re *all* too *large* for just a…
Day trip to Tulsk photos!
I *did* get some proper work done this morning, but then the mail came and there was this awesome QUEEN’S BASTARD-inspired necklace made by a fan so I had to stop and take a picture, and since I was doing photo stuff, I figured I’d better upload the Tulsk photos too. Dad posted his, too, and has many beautiful pictures of the graveyard. ytd km swum: 52 miles to Minas Tirith: 458.7
halfway there
All right, the proposals for WAYFINDER and WORLDBREAKER are off. It’s true this meant working on Sunday, but it’s also true that it means I have no excuse to not start on the DEMON HUNTS revisions tomorrow, and really it should only take the week to accomplish them if I don’t dork around. And now I’m halfway through my list of major work that needs accomplishing this month, which is pretty awesome. …this is not how normal people spend their Sundays, is it. July Thinks To Do: – TRUTHSEEKER revisions…
day trip!
We took a day trip out to Tulsk today. There’s pretty much literally nothing in Tulsk except a convenience store, a ruined abbey dating back to 1406, and an archaeological dig site dating back to the Mesolithic that we got to climb around in. Obviously it was well worth the trip out. :) No, seriously, it was! It was awesome. There’s also a visitor’s center, except sort of ironically all the information in the visitor’s center is about the Queen Mabh site a couple miles down the road, because they…
