I've never mastered making french toast myself, but wow do I love it.

There's a cafe/diner place three blocks away from my apartment that does an unlimited champagne brunch on the weekends. I'd already known their french toast - made of thick slices of homemade cinnamon swirl bread - was fab, but I've just gotten back from a long late breakfast and knocking back an entire bottle of cheap bubbly, so I am feeling no pain. And pretty cheerful about it. I love a good champagne buzz, I love walking in the rain, I love my town. And I am giving some serious thought to making this a regular occurrence. Any of you guys in the LA area who want to join me would be more than welcome!

So hey, I've been pretty quiet recently, I know. This quarter has been tough - two of my classes had major group projects involved, which no doubt will look lovely on my resume someday, but have meant vast amounts of stress, lately. And ye olde depression issues have not helped. Really not sure how grades are going to turn out, but oh well. They were interesting things to work on, anyway, and I've learned more about subjects as disparate as copyright and the migrant laborers movement in the late 20th c. So that's cool.

And I've got Bitchin' Party coming up, crazy soon! I am so stoked, you guys. I had a fantastic time two years ago, and I am greatly looking forward to seeing people again, and the panels, and just...being surrounded by fangirls. MY PEOPLE.

How are you all doing this fine Sunday?

Hi! I am in the US now. *smiles like a loon*

Also, I saw a bald eagle today. \o/

In the middle of Seattle, actually, a couple of blocks from where I'm staying! It's a small park, and there's an eagle nest in a big tree. So cool.
