a couple of things make a post

1) Why do publishers of gay-male-themed books believe that their covers must feature half-naked men? A cool-sounding gay steampunk anthology, with a cover mostly by the marvelous John Coulthart and mostly very beautiful, ruins it by pasting a couple of escapees from a manga about Victorian male strippers over everything. It's embarrassing. (It's possible that Coulthart drew the strippers too, but they don't seem like his style.) The same thing happens with films: most DVD covers of gay-themed movies look like porn.

2) By request, a recipe for red-cooked pork that I made the other day. It comes from Bruce Cost's Asian Ingredients, with my modifications and suggested modifications noted.

3) I have things to say about Community, but I'll do that in a separate post due to spoilers. (Probably I'm the last person in fandom who still hasn't seen the whole thing, but you never know.)

I've now finished series 2. (My hours have been cut at work, so I'm spending a lot of time at home with no money to do anything. This makes it possible to get through a lot of 20-minute sitcom episodes every day.)
