the great quizno baja dragon quest

welcome back! where have you been?

currently reading dragonspell by donita paul, and it's okay, and i'll finish it b/c i started it, but it's not supergreat. the scenes are intriguiging but not completely set. the characters are multidimensional but not fully developed. the plot is standard dragon fantasy coming of age fare - young slave girl in obscure rural town has burgeoning power to discover dragon eggs in their nests, power to raise & train dragons, and power to read minds, and she's therefore called into service of the paladin in the far & beautiful shining city of towers & spires - but she's confused about her new powers and the other magical beings she meets whose job it is to guide her thru this new magical world. no doubt she will learn to master her powers & become a valuable member of the magical world. dragon eggs. magical cloaks. mind readers. unusual creatures with unusual names. lore & mythology & glowing stones & houses underground. it's all there. so, you see, it's sort of good solid dragon fare. just nothing [yet] particularly out of the ordinary.

i got this new iphone app that tells calories & fat grams in restaurant foods. i was amazed to learn the baja chicken sub at quizno's has 890 calories & 43 grams of fat. good golly miss molly! a big mac has 540 calories and 29 grams of fat. how can a grilled chix sammich have more fat & calories than a big mac? what are they putting on that sammich?? only the giant huge overloaded bk broiler quad and hardee's thick burger and the like have more calories & fat than the freakin baja chix. what is in that sammich? probably dragon eggs.
