Mar. 14th, 2011 07:07 pmPi day! For dinner I roasted pork with apples and my mom said that it was like pork with apple pie. Except that was a coincidence. :p
Though on that note, I've started actually seriously learning to cook. And I'm enjoying it so far, which is nice. I've mostly been getting recipes by googling things, but do you guys have any favorite recipes? I'm not a big fan of Mexican or beans but otherwise I'll probably eat anything. I'm particularly trying to find good vegetarian main dishes.
I'm leaving for Tapachula, Mexico on Wednesday. It's sort of strange, because I'm going with my grandparents and their church group, and it's actually a mission, but I'm not religious. I don't even remember the last time I went to church, but, well, I guess I'll be going to church there. That should be interesting. Mostly I just said yes when my grandparents asked because I get to go to Mexico and actually do something useful there, not just be a tourist. We'll be building a church, but we'll also be building some clinics, so I'm trying to work around my discomfort about missionary work.
Though of course, I'm not bringing my computer. That is going to be...strange. A week and a half completely without internet access. When was the last time that happened? XD It's just as well that I'm not likely to have time to go on the computer anyway.
And finally, I've finished my Star Trek TOS-era movie essay. Or at least, as finished as anything is until it's posted, because I've already added almost a thousand words since sending it to the person who volunteered to beta it. I'm not even sure I should call it an essay, because it's practically a thesis -- it's certainly long enough. Current word count is, um, almost 24,000. Which makes it the second longest complete thing I've ever written. Yeah, I'm pretty crazy. In most fandoms I don't even write fic approaching that length.
So...that'll be posted sometime after I come back from Mexico. In the meantime, I will probably revise it like crazy. :p
