The whole world will be SINGING!

It's very hard to type when you're eyes are watering. Why are my eyes watering? Because I just cut up an entire onion to go in the dehydrator. Ugh. My eyes are swollen feeling. I can tell. It's awful.

Last night I decided to take some time off of writing, specifically the snail_mail_porn story. Only I somehow managed to do about three hours worth of research for another story instead. One of the things I was researching were version of the St. George and the Dragon story (I'm going to turn this yaoi and write this. I can already tell. My fate is sealed once I start getting ideas).

One of the version is a mid 16th century ballad that I found on Google books ♥. Now in the 16th century, spelling was not at its high point. I wasn't too surprised at the "dye" instead of "die" or "suckt" instead of "sucked." (My mind just went some place it really shouldn't have...) But I was not expecting the absolute best unconventional spelling I have come across in quite some time.

Asswage.

After I stopped laughing hysterically, I was finally able to figure out that the correct spelling was supposed to be "assuage." Even now I'm giggling. Asswage. That would be like the best damn name for a sword.

Finally, miome will be coming to Indianapolis for good either tomorrow or Monday. I am trying not to think too hard on this because I will start alternately doing to the happy dance and flailing in worry. So... not thinking. Writing instead.

My girlfriend, my kitties, and my bed. Soon I shall be reunited with each. Well, the bed will take longer since the moving company said it will be here between the 1st and the 8th of August. -_-

Between the 1st and the 8th? Wow, that gives you some really planning power. Not.

But, yay, reuniting!!!

Asswage: rentboy paycheck.

Why are you dehydrating an onion? So you can rehydrate it and put in on hamburgers like McDonald's?

Yay, writing!!! Have fun!^_^

Rentboy paycheck *dies*.

I'm dehydrating onion so I can make onion salt and onion powder. You can also use it to in soups and sauces, but mostly I'm doing it to use as a spice. It's cheap (cost of one onion) and I hadn't had any luck finding actual onion powder anywhere. That and I can make the onion salt actually oniony as opposed to loaded with nothing but salt.

I read that first sentence as "cut up an onion to go in the humidifier" then had to reread it as that made no sense at all. How did dehydrator become humidifier!? bad brain, bad!
