Morning ramblings...

I always get nervous about writing fight scenes in RPGs. Especially online ones where I don't have stats -- it's one reason I prefer things like d20 where I can set out exactly how powerful my character is, and his or her opponents. I'm always afraid I won't take a hit properly, or something.

I need to start working on the fics I promised to write for Bujold fest. And leave my prompts for the Avatar Fanfest on IJ.

The cure might be worse than the disease...

Stomach upset. Tried making a solution of baking soda and water on the basis that if it was caused by excess acid, swallowing a base would neutralize it. I think I used too much baking soda.

For the record, I have been burping up CO2 (I presume) for the last fifteen minutes, my stomach feels worse, and there's still an acid-burning feeling in the back of my throat. That and baking soda tastes like a mix between salt and soap, which is a disgusting taste.

Long Essay is long

SO, I just had this realization, brought to you by reading the comments of Mem's rant on why she loves Aang from Avatar and hates Avatar fandom.

Aang from Avatar is so Luke Skywalker, and this actually makes the Star Wars prequels make sense. (Also, dead Joseph Campbell can just shut up)

It's late, and this is probably full of crack )
