mis_creationRyan is right. There's no excuse for not posting.
So, I resolve to post, well, something every day. In my copious free time. Because I do have a lot of that, what with my job only having four-hour shifts, and no second job in sight yet.
Nefret update: she's got an Upper Respiratory Infection, so, basically, she has a Shelter Cold. So, I have to dose her with medicine twice a day, and keep her isolated from the other cats. Which is okay, except now she's been out of the room before, she's bound and determined to do so again.
I guess I lied about the book recs. I'll do those tomorrow.
So, I've decided to try NaNo again this year. I have a concept for a story right now, but no plot. I'm going to go over some of my old stories, see if I can't cobble together a plot from some of those. I just remembered this idea from, I think, junior-high, but I'm going to update it, and grow it up a bit. Most of my ideas from back then had potential, but I was a little too juvenile to do them justice.
Oh, and I got an invitation to go to a Halloween dinner party thing. I'm going to be bringing the dessert, and I'm not sure what to make. Since my work friends seem to be big on themes, it is, of course, Halloween themed. So, I've got a few choices:
1. Apple Brownies (apples are a traditional harvest/fall/divination-at-All-Saint's-Day thing)
2. Caramel Apple Bars (ditto)
3. Fudge with marshmallo topping and call it "Ectoplasmic Fudge" ... probably just 'cause I like saying "Ectoplasmic"...
Okay. I'm off to make more banana bread that mom can actually eat this time!
Really this time, book recs coming up tomorrow!

Date: 2008-10-28 09:57 pm (UTC)This'll be my third year trying NaNo, and I haven't finished yet, which pretty much sums up the vast majority of my writing...
Hee, I still love that icon. I've been listening to Agnes while I've been baking. It took me a while to warm up to the reader but now I like her okay.

And Ectoplasmic Fudge? Apple Brownies? I think there's a special ingredient in those: WIN.

Date: 2008-10-29 06:12 pm (UTC)*laughs* the recipe is actually the fudge I made up at school, which originally called for swirly-marshmallow topping, and it was called Chocolate Snow Swirl Fudge. But it could be seen as ectoplasm, right?
Okay, so that's two votes for Apple Brownies (you and one of the coworkers), and two for the Caramel Apple bars (darksylvia and one of the coworkers). Must ask the other co-worker coming to the party, see if she can break the tie.
Question: I'm thinking of making maybe a dozen cookies of a semi-pagan-religious nature. They're called Remembrance Cookies, and they're supposed to be eaten while sharing stories of loved ones/ancestors. Do you think this is maybe too much for a friendly get-together? I'm leaning towards yes, but I kinda want to bring them maybe as gifts, since that's what this holiday is about for me; coming to acceptance of mortality and stuff as well as a New Year...
