I just thought I'd start a new one because, well, I can, so nyah.

How was the transition for everyone? Hope y'all had fun.

In con news, looks like Sean Maher is going to be at both Starfury ones later this (this!) year. What really is a shame is that it doesn't look like Christina is going to be at the London one. I'd rather see her again than Mark Sheppard. I owe her a badge, for one.

As for 2005: the bitch is dead, long live 2006!

The motion has passed.

All in favour of "Yayyyy for Seanness" say "Aye"

Aye!!

PunkyCarol-THANKS for telling me about Sean. I was very excited. And exhausted. A few other "ex" emotions, too, at the time. Plus, LightMeDark was on my computer, trying to get directions home.

But I am UBER EXCITED that he's coming!!

How was everyone's New Years? Mine was pretty lovely. Somehow I ended up with MORE alcohol then I started with, which is just crazy, considering how much we drank. Oh well.

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELY! Oh Keely! Where are you? I need to ask you a bank question!

If anyone sees Keely, can you sen her my way?

I need to find out if her bank will accept a check from me in US Dollars and will convert it into pounds. My bank says they can. It takes a couple of weeks, but it's the easiest thing to do. They don't wire money internationally. I'd have to go to another bank or Western Union or something and pay heavy fees.

So, will you ask her to inquire at her bank? Then, if she can, I'll just send her a check. If not, I'll look into my other options.

Happy New Years, btw!!

ooh, poor Matty. Sorry you were ill.

We went to the bar at the hotel right before midnight because there was supposed to be free champagne and fun hats and whatnot, but the place was PACKED and we couldn't get near the bar, so we decided at, like 3 minutes till midnight to go back to the room. So we rushed back, someone turned Dick Clark on the telly and Dark Jester and I fought to get the little champagne bottle we had open and someone passed out cups and we got the bottle open with about 30 seconds to spare and we each had about 2 oz of champagne to drink as we toasted in the New Year. It was amusing.

I should find out tomorrow morning about the job, and how much I'm getting paid too, if I have.

I'm trying to work up my enthusiasm. Sure, getting a new job this quick makes it easier - I don't have to look for more or do any more interviews - but it's change, and effort, and a new place and new people, and no doubt I'll actually have to work (and think), and it will almost certainly involve having to wear a shirt and tie every day.

The fact that's it's almost certainly much more money doesn't seem to be much consolation.

I know I'm being a little stupid - sadly, everyone has to work and get paid - but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Well, started to smell gas around my car, then someone stopped to tell me they saw a gas leak as they were following me. On the way to the mechanic's this morning it sputtered and died, Out of Gas. Grr. Arrgh. It ought to have had 1/4 a tank. Luckily I have free towing under my AAA plan.

Methinks this is the final straw for this car. It's a 1994, I think it's more than time to retire it in favor of a new one. Hopefully the mechanic can repair it to drivable-enough-to-get-home status, then I plan to donate it to some local charity that will take old junkers.

Now to contemplate what new one to get. I'm seriously thinking of a 2005 Prius. There's a nearby dealer with three of those still in stock. We'll be talking with the credit union Saturday morning to get pre-approved for a loan, then I can dicker with the dealer on a cash basis and de-fang all of their nasty financing tricks.

I'm pleased to report the car's ailment was no worse than a leaky fuel line, now replaced. The old girl's again drivable, for all her days in my employ are now severely numbered. I'm glad I didn't have to sink a lot of money into this latest little incident.

Wow, did I ever miss a lot of randomness over the holidays. I didn't even touch a computer over my ten days holidays, until Monday when I got back to work . And I didn't see a random thread, just lots of "Hi I'm new" threads. Which is also cool. Anyways . . .

Did I hear right? Is there a Serenity cubed? Where when how?

Wait, I'm confused. It says tickets go on sale Jan. 16, 2006, but it's on Sept. 22-24 2005? I'm sure they meant 2006, right? If so I might actually be able to go.

You need easy meals?

Well, spaghetti is easy, but it can get boring.

Let's see: cut up potatoes into big chunks, toss them in a bit of olive oil and garlic, throw them on a cookie sheet and bake them at 350 degrees until they're brown. Stir them occasinally so they cook evenly.

You can do the same with string beans or asparagus. They come out yummy that way. Just make sure to use the olive oil sparingly.

Put a chicken breast on a piece of aluminum foil, add a pat of butter and one bay leaf, wrap it up, throw it in the oven at 350 till it's cooked all the way through (40-50 minutes, I think). If you cook several this way, you can freeze them for later or cut them up and use it for chicken salad or cold sandwiches or something.

To steam veggies, all you need to do is chop them up, throw them in a pot with a little bit of water in the bottom, cover them and put it on med-low. Check occasionally to make sure the water doesn't completely evaporate and let them steam until they're nice and tender (you can stick a fork in them and they don't feel hard and crunchy). Takes maybe 10-15 minutes depending on the veggies. Broccoli cooks pretty quickly, cauliflower takes a bit longer.

Cook rice with veggie broth instead of water and it comes out tastier.

Also: my main staple is rice with black beans. Throw a little sour cream on top. It's very tasty and quick and good for you.

Anything you want to make, let me know. I'm a great cook.

Except for most meat dishes because I don't eat it. But I do know how to cook alot of it, from back in my non-vegetarian days.

Oh, and the colour of your shoes depends on the colour of your belt. If you're wearing a belt. If it's black, please buy black shoes, if it's brown, then brown shoes. If your belt can't be seen, then buy brown shoes because I don't like black.
