ten_fwd_ooc | Food for Thought! (and stuff)

[My food for thought this week is a banana-avocado smoothie. Tasty!]

[So my bosses have been playing Highlander with layoffs, and I'm now the entirety of two departments, plus half of a third, and a third of a fourth; two of these departments are brain-intensive, so when combined with health problems made worse by stress, you have a recipe for being unable to muster the brain to tag.

I haven't forgotten anybody. I'm just scattered like a handful of rotini bounced off a kitchen wall, and slow like if you write the word slow in big letters on an 8.5x11" sheet of paper and tear off a little corner of the page--that tiny corner represents my fractional speed. I mean, slow.

At the same time, one of my writerly idols is aware that there are folks planning costumes of some of his characters for Dragon*Con this year so you know, no pressure or anything, I just might want to get started so it doesn't suck. At least it doesn't take brain, just repetitive manual work... and energy.]

tl;dr so! Questions I have for you.

1. Have you seen Pixeltrek? More bathrooms on the Enterprise than they ever show on TV.

2. Anybody else voting on the Hugo awards, or at least has seen enough Game of Thrones and/or Orphan Black to offer an opinion on the short-form dramatic presentation slate? I don't have the context to judge based on two random episodes, or the time to binge-watch to get that context.

3. and, anybody else going to Dragon*Con this year (I know the answer to this one is yes) and interested in doing a meetup? I'd offer to bring snacks for it, but my luggage is gonna be full...

and not a question: I am stoked about the upcoming plot. ^__^

1. Ooooooh. Toy. I had not but there will be playing with this now.

2. Oh, wow. That is such a hard toss-up. Both of those as smashingly awesome for highly different reasons and I would cheer hard to have either of them win. I've been reading/watching both of those from their beginning basically.

3. Me, me, me, me! This is my 6th or 7th year! (And Laura is in my room, too!) I am so completely interested in doing a meetup (or a dinner, or a watching party with pizza's one evening, or everything and anything anyone could come up with). And, also, we could totally grocery shop in Atlanta for snacks for the meetup? We totally do that with the hotel rooms every year, too, so that paying for food meals is not a hassel or a thing that has to happen except for splurging.

(Though for splurging I would suggest either Trader Joe's [for fantastic drinks] or the sushi place on the corner whose name is evading me right now.)

Eeeeeeeeeee plot! So excited! Me TOO

Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve!!!!

My favorite splurge is the Middle Eastern place in the food court (which is actually not that expensive, $5 for a huge wrap). Last year we stormed it as Redneck Thor & Loki for some shawarma and it was totally worth waiting in line. ^_^

Oooooh. I have never been to this place. I may have to go try it sometime!

it is SO good! During mealtimes they're one of the places that station somebody outside with samples on toothpicks, so you can try their fancy chicken and sauce before you buy it.
