Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:28:49 +0000 http://www.habitualaddict.com/blog/?p=2251#comment-9693 Hey Chad, Have you read anything by Cecilia Tan? She has two series of gay male erotica-with-a-plot that are really good. The first, Magic University, is fantasy set in Veritas, a (ahem) magical university hidden within the Harvard campus. It's often been described as "Harry Potter goes to college", and this is somewhat apt, although the narrator is a lot more well-adjusted than Harry! The other, Daron's Guitar Chronicles, is actually serialized online at daron.ceciliatan.com. It's updated multiple times a week, and you can buy e-books of the previous years. It's about Daron, the gay guitarist of a moderately popular rock band in the mid-80s, as he struggles with coming out and his on-again, off-again affair with the band's hot, slutty lead singer. Seriously good. I've been reading since week one and eagerly anticipate each update. Hey Chad,

Interesting thoughts you have; you make me want to give it a try.

I don't know why I didn't know that m/m romance novels existed. I always try to stay far away from those things because I'm afraid that they'll just be full of offensive stereotypes, but perhaps I'll give this one a try. Interesting, I’ll have to check it out.

Worsted weight socks for those times at home when your feet need some happy are a great relief after something tedious like Java socks. I have a pair of Javas, though, and they are really spiffin'. Good choice! This has been a year of socks for me, but not necessarily for me.

I wish it was possible to retain the wonderful, vibrant green of fresh jalapeños while canning them. And dude--pickled peppers in egg salad sounds super awesome! The creamy, smooth salad would make a perfect counterpoint to the spicy bite of the peppers. What goes in your egg salad? Those look SOOOOO tasty!

Even Steph likes them and generally she doesn't like jalapenos. I chop them up and put them on top of scrambled eggs, hot dogs, quesadillas, tacos... Obviously I've been getting a lot of use out of the jar you gave me. I should probably start rationing them out, unless you want to give me another jar. Just saying... ;-) OMG, these are SO AWESOME!
