Forgot stuff, and more details on the DC thing.

Bits and pieces from yesterdays post. (I loathe back editing.)

In the story of the burning Christmas pudding:

As we used a tea-towel to smother the flames, I commented to mum that you're supposed to use brandy butter to set the pudding alight, not foil...

Going to the Birmingham show was beyond last minute. Found out about it mere days before, when

*crosses fingers* I hope something good come from this. ^_^ I would love to go to the shop and pick up a book with your name on it.

I agree with you on the drinking thing - I don't need alcohol to be a complete idiot. ^^; Still, I miss a good shot of vodka now and again.

Hmm. I need to figure out when I can make it out to the U.K., so I can see you... Hmm.

Just watch out for the dollar/pound conversion. It's at $2 to £1 right now, and a major ouch. Several of the Brit comic people told me it's the worst time to look into the industry, and that back in the 80s, they made lots of dosh. (A number of them have moved to Croatia. *boggles*)

I like rum and coke. Vodka is pretty good as well.

$2 to a pound? Oww. ;_;

Well, maybe I can get a good deal on a flight out there. The main question is time. @.@ I'd want at least 3-4 days, if not a week. It's been too long since I've seen you. :/

And rum and coke is also quite nice. Been too long since I've had either, though. @.@

April/May is always a nice time of year here, and the tourists never really hit until June. There are some cheap flights over, you never know. And like Japan, visiting is much cheaper if you know locals and can crash on their couch. *grin*

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you on this DC comics gig, I hope luck finds favor for you in that.

LOL at the pudding fire, heaven knows I've set tons of things alight over the years, so I know how that feels.

Well, good luck with it all. And good job not letting all of this drive you into becoming a raging drunk :-)

We tried to call the castle for our annual "Happy Holidays" call, but couldn't connect. May try again later.

[lekythen]

Heh, actually, I made myself a rum and coke last night here at the Castle. I blame nostalgia.

Odd that you've not reached the Castle. Mind, my sister rings here a lot. Perhaps instead of crossing international wires, it just throws the call. Dunno.

Tried again; still get errors. Am using a cell phone (Verizon). Do international calls work differently on cell phones?
