Bah.

Oooh, Wizard World.
Anything in particular that you are looking forward to checking out there?
Re: WW
Horror Comics (no, really) and Board Games mostly. I’ll also stop by the CCP/White Wolf booth briefly and if I get the chance, check out the new Batman: Gotham Knight Premiere.
I’m also meeting a couple of authors & artists for potential projects.

Reading: Audible-“reading” Sundiver by Brin, the first of the Uplift books.
Wearing: Blue-plaid, short-sleeved, button-up, collared shirt (minimal acceptable work gear), blue khaki shorts, and my comfortable and bullet-proof KEEN boots designed for winter trekking through snow.
Planning: A trip to Adam Dray’s house in MD for AdamCon. I leave right after work.
Writing: Doing final layout on Misspent Youth. I know, it’s not writing. Fuck you for judging me.

MD for Adamcon? Man, you are a gaming machine. Misspent Youth there?
You caught me; I was totally judging you.
Why the heavy boots in the summer-time, Mr. Sweat-in-Front-of-the-Air-Conditioner-with-no-Shirt-On Man.
Re: summer footwear
Yes, Misspent Youth will be there, but I won’t be running it. The totally-awesome Dan Levine will be running it and I’ll be playing it.
As for why the boots: my tootsies are gentle flowers that bruise, inflame, and ache very easily. I need highly-specialized shoes in the $100 range so that I’m not in constant pain. Unfortunately the shoe-shoes fall apart under my rugged manly use of them. The boots are the only things sturdy enough to last.

Hey Judd, I have a question because recently started trying to go gluten free (not coeliac, but seems pretty squarely pegged as some kind of intolerance): Is it the case that processed food stuffs can be absolutely fine on some pass-throughs and other times hit you? Is it common? I’ve been pulling my hair out with self-diagnosis because the blimmin goal posts keep moving.
and in the spirit of the post:
Reading: Just finished Day of the Locust by Nathanael West. Damn.
Wearing: Arraio do Cabo Dive Town T-shirt
Planning: Trip to La Dolce Vita barn party at Alpaca Farm!
Writing: Draft ‘rent my flat so I don’t go bankrupt’ emails…

Hey Alex,
I am not sure I understand the question.
Some big companies change their ingredients based on what is cheap, so if you are not really careful, a candy bar that was fine for months, will suddenly have a glutenous filler of some kind.
I believe I got hit by a 3 Musketeers bar the other day because after a while of being fine with them.
Hope that answer helps and if not, ask more. I am happy to help.
That does help, thanks. In my case it’s not always about active ingredients – I thought I was fine with porridge oats (ingredients: oats) for a while but now they seem to be giving me a lot of grief. But it may be a change in processing, introducing trace gluten. So same deal.
Ever vigilance!
