Bits and bites

[amanuensis1]

-I have no proper con report for Azkatraz, as the gist of it goes, "Glomped this person, glomped that person, glomped those people," and has no anecdotes of crazy doom to entertain you. Plain, delightful fun that does not make for clever blog posts. Not that I'm complaining in the least. Those of you who made my weekend awesome, you know who you are.

-I did remember that it was Harry's birthday yesterday. But when it came time for cake, I was craving an egg tart. If I sang over it, that counts, yes?

-In my travels I saw some in-flight films, among them Monsters vs. Aliens. There were some joke-went-on-too-long, they're-pausing-too-long-for-audience-reaction flaws, but it was still oodles of fun and my favorite new oath is Hugh Laurie as Mad Scientist Cockroach Guy (still the consummate gentleman) crying, "Hawking's Chair!"

-Anime series I am currently giving a try: Monster. Tortured ethical protagonist. Ristorante Paradiso. Cute gentlemen waiters of middle age in glasses. Variety is important.

-Why I have not yet finished watching Avatar: Because there's a large joy-post coming shortly to celebrate my love for it before I reach the end.

It was such fun to glomp you! :D

*virtual glomps*

MEEEE TOOOOOO. *more virtual glomps!*

Did they end up doing the costume ball on Alcatraz? I haven't seen anyone mention it.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I actually wasn't there beyond Saturday night so I'm not sure myself!

[masakochan.livejournal.com]

I was hoping I'd run into you at some point during Azkatraz, but I guess I didn't. :(

there's a large joy-post coming

*looks forward to this*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, BAH, I'm sorry I missed you! Here is a virtual glomp anyway: *GLOMP*

(and I posted it! finally!)

"got phone glomped by Myrafur..."

I can't WAIT for the Avatard squee!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*glomp glomp*

Avatard? Ha ha ha, that's one I haven't heard! 'Course, I've heard nothing because I've been staying away from the whole fandom to avoid spoilers. :D

Nom egg tart

It was nice to see you in the elevator for two seconds!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

God, yes, that's all we got! I'm glad to have seen you alla same, hee! *pounces*

[meredyth-13.livejournal.com]

You didn't mention the rabid fangirls who glomped you! *is guilty*

I have had several conversations with fandom friends since I got home ...

FFriend: So, tell me about your con experience. Did.You.Meet.Amanuensis???!!!

Me: *proudly* YES! Wow - she's lovely, and kind, and lovely, and she talked to meeee ...

FFriend: I am so envious right now, I cannot speak to you. I KNEW I should have gone to the con. Tell me more about Amanuensis.

:D

Um ... ok, maybe this isn't a verbatim record of any one conversation - but more a summary of several, but the content remained pretty consistent..

It was lovely to get to meet you in person, honey. I didn't get to say bye to you. I hope the rest of your time at the con was awesome. Oh, and anime may be shiny, but if any HP bunnies should happen to bite with nasty big pointy teeth ...

*hugs*

THE GLOMPING WAS MUTUAL. Oh, I was so pleased to see you--you're such fun and so sweet and you're BEAUTIFUL! And, actually, by the time I finished seeing you that night I was nearly done with the convention itself; I left after Saturday to do other parts of my vacation. So, you see, I knew there couldn't be anything so stellar left after seeing you, HA! *tickleglomps*

*adds to the glomp pile*

Love the Lucius writing incentive icon. And Avatar? So. Great.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*piles on with you*

egg tart = quiche? or what my local baker calls "egg custard pie"? (i.e. a sweet extra-firm custard in a pie shell)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

No, not quiche--quiche is usually savory in my circles.

These! (http://schneiderchen.de/35Egg-Custard-Tarts-A-La-Hong-Kong.html)

[drgaellon]

Oh, yes! I get those when I go out for dim sum. And they are NOMABLE. (om nom nom nom). Wish there was a Chinese bakery around here so I could get some.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I have to travel a bit, maybe half an hour, to get them, but they're so worth it.
