Shameless self promotion

I just went to upload a new design to RedBubble and saw they're having a 15% off shirts sale for the next few days, with free shipping if you buy 5 or more.

So! If you were pondering it, now is the perfect time to buy one of my shirts! Or one of Tina or Angie's! (tommmo, who knows all of us, should buy five of each)

My stomach makes no freaking sense

I have a lot of food intolerances and stuff, they can be tricky to keep track of and figure out. And sometimes they make no sense

For example: sometimes I feel crappy after eating too many carbs. I had long had a niggling suspicion that it might be a gluten thing, since bread is worse than rice. But I went off gluten and felt terrible, and have since realised that I feel crappy if I go too long without eating bread (in a different way to when I eat too much bread). I decided this was a yeast thing since pancakes don't cut it and vegemite tends to help.

Cutting out soy and dairy leaves me with very few options for bread, pretty much the only commercial ones are certain pita breads and crumpets. Except lately my stomach has rebelled if I try to eat pita bread. (Even toasted. My stomach has always rebelled against untoasted pita bread)

So I've been making my own. Yesterday I screwed a batch up (not enough sugar, ingredients too cold) and it didn't rise much, and my stomach rebelled against that too.

"Hmm." I thought to myself "It must be a yeast thing again, I wonder if the yeast reaction changes the chemicals".

But today my stomach told me in no uncertain terms that the one sort of "bread" it would be ok with was crumpets. And they don't contain yeast! They're basically just pancakes! THIS MAKES NO SENSE.

On the plus side it gave me an excuse to eat crumpets for lunch :D

Buffy Night (late reminder, sorry!)

What: Watch the next 3 episodes of Buffy: "Phases", "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered", "Passion"
When: 6pm for a 6:30ish start, Wednesday 29th July. Any time before 9:00pm is ok if you don't missing bits/being quiet as you come in. Finishes around 9:30.
Where: My house. If you're not on the filter for that post (and I suck at filters so that may be lots of people) email/IM/comment etc and I'll tell you my address
Who: Anyone who knows and likes me well enough to hang out for a few hours and would get some enjoyment out of watching Buffy.
What to bring: Any snack food you wish to eat, and if neccesary your own dinner. I will provide nothing but chairs and a tv(*) :P Maybe some carrot sticks and rice thins too.

My health issues mean I will probably kick people out quite sharply not long after the last episode so I can sleep. Please do not take this personally :)

(*)I'm fine with people having a mass pizza order or something, but since I have such wierd food issues will leave that to you guys to figure out for yourselves. I'll have some menus for local places to hand.
