This is Why You're Fat. A collection of deep-fried, cheese-smothered delicacies. My arteries are exploding just looking at it.

Also, I will never get used to authors of books I mention showing up in my LJ to talk about something, although there's enough published authors on my f-list that I ought to be. :D This week, Thersa Matsuura, author of A Robe of Feathers, and Cam Banks, author of The Sellsword, popped by for a visit. While I am attempting to decide what I'm replying to both of them* I thought I'd mention for those of you interested in the subject that Banks explains how the black Vanderjack ended up as a white man on the cover of The Sellsword.





* Because I am incapable of replying without going "You! You showed up! Here! In my LJ! Eeeeeeeeeee!" to pretty much any author, so I need to let it rest a bit so I don't talk like an idiot to them. XD

Oooo, that site has delicious-looking food! The first thing I don't want to try shows up on page 6, the Twinkie Wiener Sandwich. But this is because I've already had one and didn't like it.

I'm not much of a fan of throwing lots of different foods together without much integration, if that makes sense. So the first one I'd try would be the Bacon Cinnamon Roll. :)

I *have* had a deep-fried Twinkie, which is less disgusting than it sounds - it ends up as a very moist yellow cake.

Oooh, congrats. The only time I've had an author show up is when I slammed his book as too error-riddled to be used as a reference. (http://selenite.livejournal.com/180971.html)

*goes to link* Wow. And commented at length, too!

And I just realized I typoed the title of The Sellsword in the post, so I shall go fix that! (or at least see if fixing it on DW fixes it in the crosspost here.)

ETA: Yes! Fixing it on DW makes it fix the typo over here, too! Sweet!

I got ridiculously flaily when Stan Sakai (the creator of Usagi Yojimbo) just randomly commented to one of my entries. Not even about his work, so I was double o____o; over it. xD;

OK, I'm ridiculously flaily just from hearing that he commented in your journal. XD Eeeee!

OMG you got a comment from Stan Sakai??? ::flails::

I've seen that site before. There's some good looking stuff, but so much of it just seems so needlessly messy. Like how do you even eat half that shit?
