Jul. 2nd, 2008 05:40 pmToday is strange and curious.
The good news is that my Food History blog is up and running again. The even better news is that I may be teaching food history (Literary Banquets) the end of this month (Canberrans check the ANU Guide for details - I have spares and can post them to those who give me their addresses).
The best news of all is that the chef at The Marque is a very good listener and will produce the Conflux Prohibition Banquet for $70 a head and that Karen Herkes (Chair of Conflux) is an equally good listener and has agreed that people don't have to attend Conflux if they are just interested in the banquet (in other words, if you love your food history but not your speculative fiction, then you and your friends can book just for the banquet in October). There'll be booking forms online just as soon as we sort them out. I'll post a more detailed guide to the whole thing maybe next week, on my Food History blog.
I had a rather serious scare healthwise last night and spent most of today languishing, but it's all over now (except for the fatigue), thank goodness. I am very thankful for the wonders of modern medicine. I didn't get to hospital, but I probably should have. I should read my own blog, too, because those days I really complain tend to be followed by illness.
I have 17 books to put away, but I forgot to write all the titles down. I'm no way near caught up with my reading, but hey, 17 books is a good start! When I've caught up on my reviews and things I shall have even more books away and my lounge will be just a tad less like a maze. I think I may have 10 books to go, but I only have until Monday to read the non-history side of things. This week is busy, but next will be frantic.
Tomorrow night is anime night! Yay!!!!
