I have no idea. I don't know what they did at work but instead of taking weeks just to get my supply request thru the business office, I got the actual supplies (well from one company) in less than a week. I like this. I like this very much.

L'shana Tovah to my Jewish friends.

To celebrate I bring you 31 recipes from Andrew Zimmern Okay, let's be honest, Andy might be Jewish but he also never met a piece of pork he didn't love so here are more traditional Rosh Hashanah recipes Some of them looked absolutely yummy.

And today I bring pretty much nothing but links because I burned out my brain finishing a grant proposal and working up policy on religious holiday accommodations for the university.

First up

kiramaru7 drew me this great picture of Prince Soma when I asked for something to cheer me up. (He's from Black Butler for those who don't follow that fandom).

From my friend ES fan made Buffy the Vampire animated opening trailer which was really cool and also she sent along this Amtrak residency writers winners I had sent her the application (or vice versa I can't remember) I DID apply. Never heard anything beyond' we got it' and you know I'm almost sad that the winners are all already high powdered authors.

Hmm how can one editor have almost no edits and tell me how lovely my story is but the next editor is like you used epithets, it's repetitive and passive. Oh. gee. thanks.

This song could be for SO many of my poor characters (Looking at you Strange, Nine, Kaleo and Sverre)

I accidentally kicked poor Kanda in the face. I didn't know he had run up behind me to greet me, I turned and bam, right in the face. I could feel the saliva and teeth all over my foot. Now he runs every time he sees me.

Dear Nature, the oak king has had his time. It's now time for the holly king to rise. So what's up with the mid-80s temperatures today? It's Autumn. The heat can die now.

I started Invokana today( TMI ) It IS making me terribly dry mouthed. Fun.

Second edits for the Welsh story are hear. oooo boy. yuck.

First new show crossed off my list How to Get Away With Murder Maybe I'll give it another chance but it's too soapy and as much as I WANTED to like this a) I really don't like law shows b) someone this disrespectful and nasty to students (in an attempt to make them eat each other and only the most intelligent will make it onto her team) probably really wouldn't have a job long especially at law school

I've been winning a lot of books from Goodreads. I started one yesterday (from the much beleaguered Hachette) and man, I hope chapter one isn't how this whole thing is. I didn't know it was romance. I knew it had a romantic element but thought it was paranormal. It's the other way around and thankfully opens with the protagonists, a 19 year old girl and a masked man who has done something. She is about to be attacked (and would probably have handled it herself) and he rescues her. I'm okay with that but she turns patting him down for weapons into a grope fest and he's thinking about his cock the whole time. Um.....really? what 19 year old girl anywhere (let alone victorian times) is going to feel up a strange masked man who came out of an alley??
