Hey, wait, what...?

[pepper]

Wow. I really don't know what to say. Someone's gifted me with six months of paid time! That's just... wow. I'm not very good at finding the right words to say thank you, but I feel a warm glow of "you like me, you really LIKE me!". Whoever it was, thank you so much! Is there anything I can do in return? Fic, action figure theatre, blogging on any subject... you name it.

While I'm offering, and since I'm not sure what else to write about for this three weeks thing...

Sapphire and Steel! So very, very creepy.

(If it was the same cheese-walnut-grapes chocolate I found, I was quite disappointed by the insufficient cheese levels; I wanted a proper Stilton bite to it. Maybe I got a dud bar, though.)

I still have Issues due to that show, particularly in regards to having my photo taken. *shudder* The show had a mysterious quality that just made it creepy as fuck, didn't it? There was a bleakness about it, maybe because they couldn't afford to populate the screen with extras.

I can't imagine there are many cheese-walnut-grapes chocolate bars out there... :D Personally, I don't want any cheese in my chocolate, but I'm prepared to try it in the name of blogging. Have you seen some of the other options they have? The beer one is lovely, but I do not fancy peanuts and ketchup flavour. Ewwwwwwww.

[rydra_wong]

There's another brand of chocolate bars around -- can't remember or locate the name right now -- who do a bar with extra virgin olive oil. Which is delicious.

And they were willing to making the pacing slow, so the creepiness built up gradually, and you didn't know when something was about to happen or what it would be.

Oh, god, yes, sometimes glacially slow - the one with the WWI soldiers seemed to go on for all eternity, but in the end that really made it work.

And there was absolutely no sense of safety. Innocent people died, or worse, and it was just their hard luck.

Or pink coconut and fish gum! WHAT THE HELL IS FISH GUM AND WHAT IS IT DOING IN A CHOCOLATE BAR?

[rydra_wong]

Google's translation suggests that "fischgummi" is "rubber fish". Pursuit of further threads about the chocolate came up with "trout gelatin".

I am not sure I find either possibility enticing.

[pepper]

Hey, but at least it's "rounded off by fennel and lemon." Oh, well that's okay, then...

[holdouttrout]

I clicked some of those just because I didn't know what they were. Also, I want a post along the lines of "Ten things/places I've seen that you should see before you die."

Ooh, that's a good one. *notes*

Honestly, I can't understand why I'm finding it so hard to write something everyday. I had plenty of ideas when I sat and thought about it.
