st_aurafinaI don't know when it happened, but one day, a few years ago, like switching on a light, my tastebuds suddenly liked red wine. I really like red wine. I know our palettes are supposed to mature over time, but it's weird to see it in action. Unfortunately ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lilacsigil is a teetotaller, and that leaves me with something of a dilemma, because there's only so much wine you can put into the cooking. That is why I must nobly consume the rest of the bottle. It's not that much, really. We had roast lamb tonight, and it was all kinds of awesome. We roasted a turnip. I've never done that before. Turnip = weird but tasty, like the offspring of a potato and a parsnip. Now I'm full, and mellow, and it's been raining for most of the day (omg! omg!) so my apocalyptic fears are somewhat abated.
I want to write more Harry Potter, so I signed up for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
reversathon, even though the sign-ups were hard work. It's very tricky to write an advertisement for yourself, to entice people to make requests for you to write. I had to think a lot about what I like to write, and I have a dorky fear that because I said I like to write gen, people are going to be turned off. This is a stupid fear, because a lot of the HP authors I love to read write fantastic gen. Gen isn't dorky.
The big reveal forremix_redux is in a few hours. *eyes bottle* I think I'll be asleep by then. I'm looking forward to finding out who remixed Agony Aunt, because they are made of awesome and I love them. (Is that OTT? Probably.) I really enjoyed Remix, both the reading and the writing part. I learned a lot from remixing the story I chose. I loved what I wrote, especially the strange voice of the POV character. I think the pairing scared a lot of people off (or maybe I write summaries of suck), but I loved the original story, and I loved that I had the chance to remix it. I would sign up to do Remix again in a second. I don't know if musesfool is going to run it again, but I hope that she does. Or that someone does. It was so much fun.
The bottle is empty now, and I'm swaying slightly on the sofa. *looks shifty* Do you know what? EUROVISION will be on telly in two weeks! OMG! OMG! OMG! Eurovision! In Helsinki OMG! Oh, flist who live in Europe, please to not spoil me, because you get to see it first.
And apparently there was an earthquake in Kent. WTF?
