Sunday morning

1. slashcast episode 11 is up here! Featuring a GLBT news update from phaballa; a meta discussion on movie vs. book canon with charlotteschaos, kerryblaze, and scarah2; a fandom opinion segment by stepps; and the first part of my interview with henry_jenkins. w00t!

2. MDH and I spent several nights this last week watching TV news shows, and for the first time in years, it was kind of fun. The Republicans are scrambling, and I'm enjoying watching it. They've become the party of warmongers, pedophiles, and meth-taking homophobic closet case religious nuts. Bush is having to go to areas where the Republicans have strongholds in a last-ditch attempt to hang onto his base. Democrats have a real chance of winning seats in places where they were more likely to have been lynched a year ago. I'm too cynical to be hopeful yet, but I'm kind of looking forward to Tuesday.

3. I am making progress on writing my holiday exchange fics, yay!

4. Made dulce de leche from scratch last night. And poured it over homemade vanilla ice cream. Mmmmm...

LOL! I actually do have some mate somewhere in the pantry. I even have one of those special wooden cups with the metal straw. (I've spent some time traveling in Chile and Argentina...)

I hope you liked Argentina. And there's a legend here: once a stranger drinks mate, they never really leave :D

It's a gorgeous country, and I'd like to see more of it. We spent some time in Buenos Aires, of course, and also in teh area around Mendoza. I really liked Mendoza -- such a beautiful town. I have these memories of walking down cafe-lined streets and just being completely charmed. That, and paying $100 to fill the gas tank of my tiny rental car!
