OPEN BAR: It's actually about ethics in fictional bars

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Little Orange in the Underground is UP!

As I said earlier, I broke the story up into the three arcs.

Book 1 is Little Orange in the Underground. (Up now¹)
Book 2 is Little Orange and the Engines of Creation.  (Up by Monday)
Book 3 is Little Orange at the End of the World. (Up by Next Friday)

They go for $2.99 each, and proceeds go to Little Orange, care of Nigel.


¹  Only on Smashwords.  The other sites will take a few days.

Hooray!

Don't be like the stupid, fat hobbitses.

I am bored as hell and also suspect that I am in the wrong hostel. There are 3 Fying Dog hostels, all in the same neighborhood, and I haven´t seen any of the other students in this one.

IT'S A TRAP!


Also, final edit on Little Orange book 3 (the last of it) has begun.  Oh, my eyes.

The hostel people insist I'm in the right hostel. I have no idea where the other students are and I've already walked all over Mireflores and down to the beach and it´s all just shopping. Bleah.

The most interesting thing so far today, besides the fact that this district is full of thousands of feral cats (in the square across from the hostel, there are at least 50 sitting in tourist's laps at any given time) was that I thought I was ordering an enchilada combo for lunch, but it turned out to be a sort of hamburger made with hot pink spicy ground ham and shredded chicken, wrapped in a potato crepe, with ketchup and shoestring potatoes. It was clearly a miscommunication, and I have no idea what to ask for if I want to replicate it. It was weird, but good, and I fed the extra ham to feral cats.

Maybe I should go for another walk and try to find some iced tea or something.

If you want an actual, nice hamburger, ask for the nearest Bembos.  And get some Inca Cola, while you're there.

I wouldn't be entirely surprised if that is where the other students are, too.

That's good to know! I was eyeballing the Bembos and wondering if they're any good. There are also a lot of Popeye's Chickens.

My recollection from 12 years ago is that Bebemos does pretty good burgers.  It wont feel like you've died and gone to burger heaven or anything, but they feel like proper homemade burgers, and a real cut about the usual McD's or Burger King fair.

Not so sure about the chicken place...there are a lot of chicken places in Peru though, and most are cheap and cheerful.   When I was there it was about 2 soles for a good serving of chicken and thick cut chips, maybe three if you wanted a drink and desert or starter.

Hardcopy edits of LO 2 & 3 are complete.  Tomorrow I enter the edits, and upload the books.

Holy crap.

See, because it's Dolly Madison instead of Ashley Madison.














That's the joke.

Popeye's in the States is the bomb.

I did notice that there are an awful lot of chicken places here. Unfortunately, I'm staying in Miraflores, which is ridiculously expensive, priced for tourists, and even the cheapest food here is still 12-14 soles.

But I'm leaving today! So, not so bad.
