1) Dear slush denizens: don't try to generate reader interest by withholding information. this never works.
2) My chili needs a flavor note or two reinforced. Smokiness and umami, I think. Now, what would add those things?
3) Oh, I know.
Bacon.
4) Via Warren Ellis, whose links I keep clicking on, even though I know it's a bad fucking idea:
...
It's The Toxic Avenger.
In a schoolgirl costume. (http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=5372)
5) Polar bears. (http://www.cbc.ca/photogallery/world/891/)
6) I want a hot tub.
7) And a conservatory.
8) Buy more books, so I can behave like a shameless capitalist! (No, I don't really mean that. Well, yes, please, go ahead and buy books if the spirit moves you.)
9) ~ 4 pages written today, much less than I wanted. Still not king.
10) More horrible teases for the secrit projekt (http://www.flickr.com/photos/59024397@N00/2096364076/in/photostream/). Sorry about that. I didn't know the image was slated for deletion. I suck.
ETA Amanda was kind enough to put one back up, so I look less like a feeb. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/59024397@N00/2099119131/) Tah dah.
