Huzzah! The Supreme Sword completed the Hot Chocolate Quest!
Meanwhile... The Supreme Laser ate Girl Scout cookies and a loyal companion watched.
Maybe I spend too much time on social media.

HUZZAH!!
Congratulations Veronica on completing the hot chocolate festival, and congratulations also for passing as Canadian! I lived in Sacramento California for a few months, and could never pass as American. While I was able to tone down how often I said "eh," I couldn't shake my "oot and aboot" accent apparently.
That accent is less apparent on the West Coast though. West Coast Canadians can be a little smug towards people on the other side of the Rockies.
For me the dead giveaway was apparently how I said the word “schedule.” Which, given my role, I said a lot.
This episode got me through most of my workout today. Thanks for that!! :) And then I wanted hot chocolate and Girl Scout cookies but instead I had Szechuan crispy beef.On the Hugo stuff, I was one of the ones expecting controversy with it being in China, but what I found most egregious in the leaked emails was the Western committee members deciding that books should be withheld--without reading the book. For someone to say "this shouldn't be in" without reading a book is RIDICULOUS.
The February BOTM isn't working for me. I've put it on the backburner. I know that my usual doorways are plot and characters and I just don't even want to read it. Maybe one day I'll get back to it.
The end of the podcast made me flash on Crocodile Dundee. A seax may technically be a knife, but it's not (mugger) a knife. It's (Dundee brandishes his outback defense killing machine) a KNIFE!
And if we're doing Alien kid's books, why not Viking animated cartoons? I'm thinking like Dora the Viking. But instead of calling out The Map, it's The Seax! (going with the secondary pronunciation "sax" instead of what we all thought the first time, say-ax or see-ax.)When adventure's on the go,
And it's stabbing time you know,
What'll it be? The seax! Say it again. The seax!
When there's places you should be
And it's killing time, you'll see
What'll it be? The seax! Say it again. The seax!
I'm the seax, I'm the seax
(He's the seax, he's the seax)
I'm the SEAX!
