Lateshift, Episode 247

Not in Quebec, alas.

03:53 / 20.07.07

Enh, if I fall in the ocean then I can be the Sub-Mariner or something. You know, certainly dying horribly by drowning. Knowing me, I'd get stuck being Aquaman, or worse. Bizarro-Aquaman.

I have never had Gbejniet before - description? Is it like a Stilton, or a Brie, or, or, or...?

from wikki:
These are small, round cheeses, made from sheep's milk, often served as part of a light lunch, or as part of a hearty dinner. These cheeslets come in three varieties, fresh, sun dried (moxxi) or peppered (tal-bzar). The Fresh variety have a smooth texture and a subtle, often creamy flavour. There are usually kept in water in a similar manner to fresh Mozzarella. The sundried variant sports a more definite, almost musky, taste, and are hard, but can keep for a long time without refrigeration. The peppered variety are dried in crushed black pepper, sometimes with the addition of dark vinegar. They can vary from a spiky taste to hot depending on the kind of pepper and amount used and the time for which they are left to 'cure'. The dried varieties are traditionally served with Galletti (a local type of cracker biscuit) and a glass of robust red wine.

gbejniet. Kind of like goat cheese in a brine of pepper and vineger. It is awesome.

03:58 / 20.07.07

The pepper one is the best.

Papers, if you were Aquaman, you'd have that shiny scaled orange shirt. That's worth the swims fast, talks to fish end of things.

My luck? Lori Lemaris, who spent the last ten years failing to pick up on Superman and two thirds of his supporting cast before just being forgotten.

And I'd never realized how apathetic I was to cheeses until just now. There's yellow, white, munster, and blue, cream, and the horrible stuff that comes from aerosol cans. That's about all I know of them.

"You -- you met Superman once! Wanna make out?"

I may skip the ice cream and just break out a boccocini ball. I bought some with my groceries to do to put in my scrambled eggs tomorrow.

04:02 / 20.07.07

According to my friend "havarta is in season now". I didn't think cheeses had season.

04:04 / 20.07.07

No worries, DN. Stick around and you too shall be a cheese afficianado.

Papers, boccocini...in an omelette? I...I...I think I lurve you!

04:04 / 20.07.07

Neither did I. Havarti with sun-dried tomato & basil is all right, but Havarti as a whole has never really fired my rockets off.

04:04 / 20.07.07

Scrambled eggs, even!

04:06 / 20.07.07

2 words: Jalepeno Havarti

04:06 / 20.07.07

Yup. Bocconcini chopped up, maybe some stray cauliflower - all carmelized - with some onions and maybe imitation lobster meat. I intend to have a nice little breakfast by myself tomorrow morning. Help me start off a very long day.

04:07 / 20.07.07

I suppose I was a wee bit cheese-curious in my youth, so, surrounded by cheese-lovers long enough I may have to give in and experiment around, get to know the basics and the secret lingo.

04:08 / 20.07.07

*sigh*

I think I have to turn in. I cannot handle such delicious conversation any longer.

04:09 / 20.07.07

well folks, Im going bed. You kids be good while I'm gone.

04:09 / 20.07.07

Night, MO. May you dream happily of food.

04:11 / 20.07.07

Good Night, Venger, DN and Papers, and anyone else still around.

04:15 / 20.07.07

Nighto. We'll hold down the fort.

04:15 / 20.07.07

Should probably hit the sack, myself. The cat's already gone to sleep on me, which is like a reverse-alarm-clock; sweetly soporific.

Night, Papers. Anyone else still going.

04:19 / 20.07.07

Night, Decadent. Night's falling for you, certainly. May it pool extravagantly about your head, and then you may fall further, into starless, dreamy sleep.

00:33 / 21.07.07

If it's too early for anybody, just pretend it's later.

Due to work-related annoyances I'll be up for awhile, in need of distraction.

00:35 / 21.07.07

I am kind of here. Just watched Robot Chicken with my boy.

How are you Nightfall?

00:44 / 21.07.07

Began the day with much celebrating, due to new pages being approved and bourbon finding its way to me. Have since discovered a ridiculous array of suggestions and complaints from higher-ups, involving just about every racist, sexist, or homophobic thing they can as nicely as possible, that my e-mail service tried to protect me from by holding off on delivering them over the course of the day.

It doesn't effect the work, at all, having a producer refer to +] [-] Spoiler no, but, y'know, it doesn't enhance the background, the work situation, at all.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:48 / 21.07.07

Im here.
Debating between another wine or a cup of coffee.

00:48 / 21.07.07

HELLO!

I should so be asleep, but a guy in the pub kept giving me coke. So I'm not. Asleep.

01:00 / 21.07.07

I probably should move over to coffee - or water - but I don't want to feel energetic enough to work tonight, or I'll find myself doing just that. If I had begun lately to wonder why I was deliberately spending most of this month (physically) alone, the past twenty minutes or so have pretty much reminded me.

01:04 / 21.07.07

DN. That's just horrid. Much sympathies to you in your job situation. Like Sartre said, "hell is other people"

01:18 / 21.07.07

It wouldn't hit me so hard if I wasn't all ego-boosted and full of myself for most of the day. That I done right mode. The new stuff was okehed, for work. Heard some good news from a friend and got a nice e-mail thanking me for a dialogue polish from the actress who's gonna have to say it all. And a teenager came up to me, while I was shopping, and asked me to go to a party with her tonight. I declined, for reasons of being too old, ethically and probably energetically, to be going to parties with highschoolers who skip down the aisles at a grocery store, but, y'know, it's flattering and I got a swelled head about it.

Add alcohol and chocolate. Then add racist, sexist annoying material I have to at least have excuses for, something that I can say/e-mail that sounds like I really took the stuff under advisement.

01:26 / 21.07.07

Hopefully, the rest of you are having a better time.

I didn't re-open this to vent, after all. And Tsuga had something intriguingly vague going on, and thought the bright lights of a lateshift thread might be a good lure.

01:47 / 21.07.07

Yeah, no major complaints here. Just doing some photoshop and relaxing.

02:02 / 21.07.07

That's cool. Watcha photoshopping? I keep telling myself I'll use the fancy art technologies we have to clean up old photos and documents for the family archives, but mostly I just see what looks interesting when you use the plaster or solarizing functions.

02:06 / 21.07.07

Just copying things off the net and arrainging them so that they're printable.

02:07 / 21.07.07

Ahhh! One hour left in a very LONG shift. But productive. I mended a whole shelf's worth of books.
