Today I got my plane ticket to San Diego. Now all that's left to do is fill out that Comic Con registration form.

I would've loved to go to Writercon but what do you wanna do... I want to go to Comic Con even more, and as luck would have it both cons are at the very same weekend. Ironically I have a 10 hour layover in Atlanta on my way back on Monday. Maybe I'll run into one of you at the airport ;o)

I was talking with a rl friend about Bones. When he told me he'd already seen an ep, I asked (and I quote) "Which one, the one with the dead body?" Um, yeah.

Story count at the BBFA is currently (ta-daa) 495. I hope we'll break 500 this week. I found a helper elf to lend a hand with the uploading and I luff her.

Oh, before I forget. Tomorrow is a momentous occasion... tomorrow I will eat meat. :) I've been a vegetarian for 17 years, but recently I've got this craving for meat that I don't want to ignore any longer. I mean, last time I tried to give blood, my iron count was so low it didn't even register on that little beepy device. So, I'm gonna do the reasonable thing and listen to my body, and tomorrow me and the housemates will have ourselves a few nice, juicy steaks. The farmer's market has bio meat, hopefully free of BSE and all the other things you don't have to worry about as a vegetarian.

almost 500? Wow, that's impressive.

Woot, yeah. I'm running out of stuff to upload, finally. We'll have ourselves another Archive Pick Event soon.

*slaps forehead* That's what I forgot to do this week: get my ticket to Sad Diego. I filled out my application, though just haven't mailed it!

That's interesting. Good luck! I had cravings for seafood after many years, and after much working-up of nerve, I finally ate a shrimp last week. Didn't kill me or anything!

I have a feeling you must really need the iron. It's good to listen to the body. :)

One whole shrimp? lol. I didn't remember you don't eat seafood.

I'm rather excited about the steak dinner tonight. I figure there's really no excuse to get malnutrition if a really good steak is just a trip to the market away. I thought about swallowing iron and vitamin B12, but that's stupid, really. It's not that I dislike the taste, it's more like breaking a habit.

Eh, I hope Birgit is even up for cooking tonight. She's got a deadline, has been pulling all-nighters three nights in a row. You know how it is...

Hey Barbara,
Komm vorbei, Mai passt mir gut! Nur nicht am Wochenende 13./14., dann bin ich in Essen. Ansonsten bin ich immer da. Nach SD geht's erst im Juli.

Warst du auch Vegetarier? Kann mich gar nicht mehr erinnern.

Alter?! I'm officially offended ;). Ich habe mal nachgerechnet... satte 18 Jahre ohne Fleisch, war vielleicht ein bischen extrem. Das Roastbeef neulich tat richtig gut. War auch lecker (selbst gebraten, heh). Ich werde mir ab jetzt wohl wieder gelegentlich ein Stück gönnen.
