Several pieces of good news in one day
- "Poem to End a Friendship" has been accepted by Pebble Lake Review. Thank you, Amanda!
- "Penelope at the Singer" has been nominated for the Best of the Net literary awards/anthology by three candles. Thank you, Steve!
- I just spilled Diet Mountain Dew on my optical mouse, and the fucker's still working fine. This is better than the time I spilled Pepsi on Shawn's keyboard when we were playing NBA Live. Thank you, Microsoft!
- I got tagged for the book meme by Sheryl (apologies to anyone else if they tagged me and I missed it). I'll make my book response the last post before I leave for Laramie.
- Speaking of Laramie, I got all the stuff I was supposed to at the Thai market, despite having no idea what Thai eggplant or sweet basil looked like. The market lady obviously thought I was a wee bit slow (and I was), but I did manage to find coconut milk and bamboo shoots on my own.

Good thing I wasn't drinking Pepsi just now or I may have sprayed it all over my computer.
Also, in case I ever have to look for it, what does Thai eggplant look like?

Thai eggplants, assuming the lady wasn't having a little fun at my expense by giving me the wrong items, are about the size of limes and colored partway between lemons and limes, but without as leathery a rind and with a little stem. Ah yes, here's a picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Thai_eggplant.jpg
