...this evening featured a giant Buddha Bowl with soba at Fresh with ginny_t and monkeyman, preceded by the purchase of both a fantastically girly black floaty skirt with ribbon hems (!) and a loaf of herbed Turkish bread from Cobs. Sadly, they are not making my lemon pepper Turkish loaf anymore. I lodged protest (read: made extremely sad puppy eyes) and will eat this other, inferior Turkish loaf tomorrow.

After dinner, it also featured getting my hot little hands on some ARCs from ChiZine Publications, which jack_yoniga kindly dropped off to me: Claude Lalumiere's Objects of Worship and Daniel Rabuzzi's The Choir Boats, both for review at Ideomancer. These books, even in ARC format, are crazy pretty. I'm looking forward.

The rest of the evening's been a muddle of Ideo mail and organization (we close to slush in two weeks, and switch to production mode for August to put together the September issue) and futsing around with Syberia, which is also crazy pretty. Pages, I think, need to wait until tomorrow. My inbox needs clearing, and so does my brain, and I have too many projects. And need to do something about that, sooner or later.

Goodnight, internet.

Cooooooooooooooooobs. *whimper* I think it was an apricot bread that almost made me consider not going home from Edmonton...

Cobs is love. Well, more like strong like if they don't bring that lemon pepper loaf back, but yanno. *g*

That sounds so, so good. It seems like everyone is getting delicious things when I'm apartment-bound.

You have a boy, no? Send him out to hunt and gather. *g*

He prefers to order and in.

Which can also get you things you want. So.

Hey. If you like Syberia, one wonders whether you've ever played any of the Myst games. There are .. five? And they keep on getting better up until the fifth one, which is to be avoided. But the puzzles are WAY harder/better than in Syberia, and the world MUCH more immersive. Plus they're even prettier. Basically, superior in every way. In my humble opinion.

I played the first one back when it came out -- it was the one game I got for my shiny new computer I bought all by myself when I was fourteen! But the sequels I hadn't done anything with; I'll look 'em up. :)
