Oh yes, this is me approaching a crash again 🙂 Luckily I’ve been good the last few days so for once I’m approaching a crash with a clean and tidy kitchen, and a clean-er living room.
Hope you do okay and the crash is relatively mild.
…also kinda wish the internet’s tubes were large enough for me to shove hot and tasty individual meals your direction.
Good luck! Internet hugs and all, too!
Thanks Contrapangloss!
I failed to eat a main meal yesterday, but I am trying to cook a roast beef one today.
Uh..also, no breakfast or lunch today, so, yeah…roast dinner for the win! (I hope)
OK, beef joint with wet marinade, potatoes, carrots, onion and mushrooms in the oven.
(wet marinade = oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, paprika, tomato puree, garlic puree…oh damn, I forgot the wholegrain mustard!)
Oh yum, gilshalos. I would eat the heck out of that.
I hope your crash is a gentle one.
The last one was…I’m hoping!
They say we’re set for more snow tonight. I am so sick of all this white bullshit all over. I’m wearing two layers all day and I have an office job.
Snow would be nice, it’s just freezing cold here 🙁
And I forgot to cook peas. Oh well…plate of food is looking good, if overall brown.
And…a full plate eaten. Maybe I’m not going to crash…or maybe I will. Anyhow, got a lot of food that just needs nuked arrving tomorrow, so I am prepared.
Hugs and lots of support, gilshalos!
Oh, god. Wizards of the Coast is having an open call for adventure designers.
I think I’m going to apply.
How arrogant is that?
Not arrogant at all, if you want to do it and think you’d be good at it.
Good luck, Falconer!
Gilshalos, your food sounded amazing. Also, microwavable food can be a lifesaver. Crossing fingers for gentle crashing.
@Falconer: If you’re good, it’s not arrogant. If you’re at least average, it’s not arrogant. If it were me, whose only real specialty with story-making is blander than bland (or just silly short things because I lack a suitable amount of determination to keep working on projects longer than 2,000 words), then it would be arrogant.
Somehow, blander than bland or a lack of determination do not seem to be prominent features of Falconer posts, so I’m going with “Not arrogant at all” for my vote.
Good luck!
Gilshalos, I hope you will be OK. Take care.
Thank you, everyone, for your encouragement.
And thank you for your kind words, contrapangloss. I’m not one of the heavy hitters on the site, but I do try to stop and think.
And I too hope you will be OK, gilshalos.

So Jordan’s on a business trip and there’s a really promising agent reading my manuscript right now.
I need distraction.
My little girl was sitting on my lap during the snowed-in part of my week, and she was whispering something very softly, so softly I couldn’t hear.
So I leaned in closer and listened hard.
She looked me dead in the eye and whispered, as though revealing a secret of the Universe,
“Do the hokey pokey.”
@Falconer Well, that is what it’s all about.
Good luck, katz! And you too, gilshalos.
We have three feet of snow on the ground right now. It’s been an endless conga line of storms. This tumblr pretty much sums up the winter: http://mbecketta.tumblr.com/
Best of luck katz! gilshalos, here’s hoping for a soft crash.
Falconer, that reminded me (for some reason) of this:
Meanwhile, Northern Europe is experiencing a wildly premature spring…
Wizards of the Coast ? Go Falconer!!
