vamysteryfanMy roommate was away for the weekend. It poured rain off and on, so I stayed home and got a fair amount done domestically. I cleaned many of the things, did some hand laundry. I did some cooking too, including a tasty batch of summer vegetable pasta sauce. I even roasted my own red peppers, which is way too labor-intensive. The best was making waffle brownies. I forget whose LJ I nicked the recipe from, but they turned out pretty well. My waffle iron makes heart-shaped ones, so they were cute.
I don't know how many of you have been following Martin Firrell's MetaSciFi project. He interviewed scifi TV stars like Joe Flanigan, Nathan Fillion, Kate Mulgrew, Claudia Black, and others about being a hero. He did a long podcast about the project and talks a lot about the contributions from Joe, Tori Higgenson, and Nathan as well as Eddie McClintock (Warehouse 13). Science fiction isn't culturally respected when it first comes out but it's a great device for exploring issues. The podcast is available free on iTunes from Handsewn Audio. Or from their website http://sendingawave.wordpress.com/2012/08/12/august-bonus-show-the-one-about-meta-scifi/
