Books and food
Mar. 15th, 2005 11:36 amJust something I've noticed during this first week-and-a-half of diet: food tastes so much better now. I was making spanish rice the other night, put a slice of black olive (just plain old ordinary canned black olive, nothing fancy) in my mouth, and I swear, flavor exploded.
Grocery shopping is a new, keep experience. Add in the whole "budget" factor, and trying to buy healthy food, and it just feels so accomplished when I leave the store.
And carrots are both tasty and suprisingly filling.
As for books, going back to the library today. I didn't devour the stack of books checked out last time as fast as usual, so I'm, returning four and renewing three. My goal is to finish all the Star Wars novels befor Episode Three comes out in May. In order. I've just started the novel before Episode Two. Now, here's the thing: the timeline I found from the publisher didn't have the Clone Wars novels on it. Are they after Ep.III? Guess more research is in order.
And Saturday I started reading Jetwolf and Ultrace's Buffy virtual continuation, The Chosen. Yikes. That sucked me in, and now I'm even more convinced I am NOT the person to write the Buffy chapters in The Ultimate Crossover. Even if I am playing fast and loose with continuities and timelines.
