Peep Notes
Mar. 22nd, 2008 09:57 pm1) Sugar free Peeps are vile. Utterly vile. The marshmallow texture is completely wrong, the flavor regrettable, and whatever they used to replicate the sugar coating is worst of all. Curiously enough, a quick trip through the microwave renders them edible. They also puff up a lot bigger than standard Peeps (more than their larger starting size would suggest), and maintain body integrity far longer than anyone who's seen a Peep in a microwave would expect.
2) There were some great Peep dioramas submitted to the Washington Post contest and the Saint Paul Pioneer Press contest. (With thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lsanderson for the first link, and Karen Johnson for telling me about the Pioneer Press contest.
3) I've started posting "Ode to a Peep. A Dead Peep" poems on the Boskone LJ. The first 5 are up; I'll continue with the rest later tonight and tomorrow.
4) I miss my peeps. Spending Easter weekend at home is just plain wrong. Many thanks todd_b for posting pictures from Minicon, alexmc for posting the Orbital 2008 newsletter, and all who are posting about the fun they're having at Minicon, Eastercon, Swancon, and Norwescon. I have invested in two lottery tickets. A big enough win on Tuesday will give me better options in future years. In the meanwhile, I'm enjoying the fantasy.
