quick and dirty sundry

I never really got around to making a real post yesterday/today.

So, in short:

Gluten free pasta! At a restaurant! It was good! I felt really sick when I came home, but it seemed to be psychological as a result of eating things I couldn't tell were gluten-free. Once I talked myself down, I was fine.

Hpslasher meetup! Really cool, although I had forgotten how much big groups are hard for me to navigate when everything is melow and equal status. I had fun. Just mostly quietly. OUt of context hilarity for the evening (and there was much): "Snape got raped by a dolphin!" No, I don't know. I'd be scarred for life, but I'm too tired.

My BPAL arrived. My first two bottle re-orders ever. Whiechapel and Les Infortunes. Two little bottles of wizardly goodness. I hug them. No, really.

I've finished one of the two monumental writing tasks I need to complete by Thursday. It came out even better than I thought/hoped. Now to get the other done, probably all in one vicious swoop Wednesday night (since I am working tomorrow night).

Who does Les Infortunes smell like? I've never smelled that one.

Oh, yay for pasta!

Twice this last month, I've had the chance to eat sushi rolls made with soy paper instead of seaweed, which I am allergic to. It took practice. My throat still instinctively tries to close up, "knowing" I'm allergic to that stuff. It was weird and difficult for something so yummy.

Oh, and I've found corn pasta to be a completely satisfying substitute after eating it three times. I'm sure I could tell the difference if I tasted one and then the other, but without a comparison on hand, my memory does not present any complaints.

I've been eating a lot of soup lately. I'm glad it's not too hot for that.
