I want to BBQ, but being in an apartment without a balcony (And BBQs on balconies are apparently illegal anyway) I'm going to get one of the above. I'm leaning towards hibachi because I don't need to buy propane and I love the taste of charcoal BBQed food, and because they don't use propane, I can store it in my car, but the little propane grills don't take as long to cool after cooking, so I won't forget it outside and make my landladies mad at me. The propane BBQs are also a little lighter. Charcoal BBQ is better in case of a zombie apocalypse or end of the world scenario when it'll be easier to find charcoal instead of propane* The Hibachi is winning due to car storage, and that means I will ALWAYS have a BBQ with me wherever I go, I just need to put matches in my emergency kit so I can light said BBQ. I want a BBQ because it's the May long, it's going to be hot, and I want to cook salmon and stuff without an oven. And I can bring my laptop down and internet while I cook. * It's always good to be prepared for a zombie apocalypse or a general end of the world scenario when purchasing portable food cooking devices. (In case you're wondering.. This is a Hibachi in canadian terms, apparently there are regional variationsCurrent Location: Work
I'm feeling:  awake
I'm hearing: Killers

I submitted "The Captain's Mare" to Henneth Annun some weeks ago to see if it would pass the 9 reviewer process. Figured, if it passed muster, I would have the balls to post it to ff.net. ("Fie upon you all, HASA took it so you can too!") The review break-down this morning was 7 approvals, 8 declines, so it will be going up on both sites. I'm rather pleased.
Interestingly, I checked back on my old results for OB and it was the same breakdown: 7 approvals, 2 declines.
Something else happened: I've started drabbling. I'd never written a drabble before (those little 100 word story/poem/vignette things), but a writer named Dwimordene posted an interesting challenge at the HASA site:
It's May, and I'm feeling in an AU kind of mood. I realize that it can be tough to write an AU in only 100 words, but give for my birthday, I'd like to see you give it a shot. Choose your time, your incident, and your desired divergence.
The minute I read this a scenario popped into my head: Sauron recaptures his ring, wins the war, and sets about consolidating Middle-earth. Two years later his Orcs have reached the environs of the Shire. I wrote an initial drabble and it was fun, but I keep having more ideas about Orcs in Hobbiton. It's turning into a series now, mainly double drabbles because I feel as if I can accomplish more in terms of character development. They're fun, I have to say it. Anyway. This is the first one that I wrote:
-.-.-.-
It is Autumn when they come to Bree and the inn is filled with half-Orcs, who fawn on them. One tries to be cavalier. “Ho lads, but you took your own time getting here. We’ve held this fat land two years now and thought to see you before.” Norgush, who is not friendly this way, smiles, motions the fellow closer, and breaks his neck with an easy twist. The room is silent as the corpse hits the floor. In another room a woman is weeping.
“We have heard of your Sharkey in the Southeast,” says Norgush. “We come to rendezvous.”
-.-.-.-
If you're interested, I've written a few more that are, frankly, a lot more interesting because they are more substantive, but this one just sort of kicks off the whole endeavor.
