So my "take four days to recover from jet lag" plan appears to have been a good one, except for the part where it wasn't actually long enough, and I am still passing out at inopportune moments. In the kitchen while making lunch. In my desk chair while writing. In the theater while watching Resident Evil: Afterlife (because the T-virus is apparently soothing unto me).

I need to take a shower. I'm afraid I'm going to drown.

So here: have an open thread. Talk about whatever, post whatever, do whatever (although it would be nice if you could keep the Campbell congrats on the "I won the Campbell" post, just to make them easier to answer). Do not expect prompt replies, as I may be asleep. If you do not see activity from me for twenty-four hours, I have drowned in the shower, and the cats have eaten me. I expect it will take them a week or so to figure out the LJ interface and begin posting.

Game on!

I just have one question, do you prefer pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread? I do know that you drink Diet Dr. Pepper exclusively but I was wondering what type of snacks you like.

Twitter is possibly the coolest social networking application ever. I have never heard privacy violation stories about it like I have for Facebook, it's designed so you can find people talking about you pretty easily, and it's minimal in what it allows you to do. I appreciate a minimalist design, I do.

Also, it lets me do random things like page my friends to check on lines from a book for me and accidentally get the author herself. ^_^ Or mention, "it'd be cool if Gail Simone did a four-issue mini-series on Elita One's crew" and have Gail Simone @reply me to ask who Elita One is. ^__^

Also, randomly, McFarland Publishing might have some shiny books you'd be interested in. (They write scholarly works about pop-culture! *wriggles* I'm kind of madly in love.)

Random celebrity/business interaction is the most appealing part of Twitter to me, beyond some of the hilarious accounts like @FakeAPStyleBook. But I have yet to join. I can't handle another social network!

It's pretty much replaced Facebook for me (which is good, because I never could handle Facebook). It got bonus points for most of the people from high school/uni not being into it. >_>

Fresh figs and gorgonzola cheese and caramelized onions are really good on pizza. With a little fontina to even out the cheese layer.

no actual sauce, other than a bit of garlic butter on the dough.

I'm alone for the next few days while my SO is in Germany. So, tonight I'm watching a Firefly marathon, and tomorrow I have my first class of the school year.

I seem to recall you will be adding another Maine Coon to the kitty brigade. Are you taking another girl? What colors are you hoping for?

Alice has fascinating eyes by the way; you just don't see too many blue tabbies with orange eyes.

Want. O_o

I've done tea sandwiches with fig preserves, chevre, & a little bit of red onion.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa-men.

I'm not seriously on twitter because lack of context drives me insane and it scrolls by too fast, but I like it better than facebook.

Facebook keeps telling me 'find all the people you've lost contact with' and I'm all 'dude, do you know how long it took me to lose them?"

Somehow made me think of you.

I don't know if anyone's asked this yet, but does the scent of the characters' magic correspond to their personalities? Or their races? Quentin and Toby have magic that smells like a metal and a plant, but Tybalt's is musk and a flower.

I've been through four-hour jetlag, I can only imagine what jetlag from traveling to the other side of the planet is like.

God, now I'm hungry. I'm totally making that for dinner sometime this week. Mind you, I wonder what my kids will eat....

Oooo, tasty. My new favorite indulgence is bread cheese (this stuff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leip%C3%A4juusto)), toast, apricot jam, and a glass of port.

I found the link here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/08/AR2010090802944.html?hpid=sec-education ... And then I sent Professor Blumberg a recommendation for Feed.

His response was as follows: "I did read about this book when it was just coming out and it looks ideal for examining a new stage in the evolution of the zombie as a pop culture icon."

Yay Seanan! I hope the jet lag eases up soon.
