I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, good, I was afraid it was just me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I tried to move some stuff, am now untrying. But there's a lag of maybe ten minutes.

I'm back to normal, ftr.

You know what I mean, the pixels are lighting up more or less as I expect.

There's nothing worse than realizing you've reverted to an ugly font.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

West Point is so pretty in the fall, what with the scenery and the leaves turning and the put-together young people. I'm just saying.

According to my brother, though, in the winter, they don't get the winter blues, they get the winter greys, because the clothes are grey, the buildings are grey, the snow is grey, the river is grey, the food is grey... everything is grey, grey, grey.

On the other hand, the museum has some really nifty implements of torture throughout the ages.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Random announcement: You know how there are some books you loved and cherished as a kid and read over and over until you knew not only the rhythms of the language but the very shapes of the letters on each page, and you go back to them as an adult and... there's still a there there, but it is badly diminished?

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is NOT one of those books. I picked it up on a whim at Goodwill a couple of weeks ago, picked it up this morning on another whim, and now cannot put it down. It just... it's making me so deeply happy just now.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 tonight, as my massive summer overtime present to me. It's charging up and I'm quite looking forward to playing with it. It's got a faux-Office program that will read text files, so I can put all my fics on it, and I can download an ereader to read epubs, so all my books can go on it. Combining my Nook and my Palm into one. I'm going to miss my Palm.

Did you read the other books in that series?

Yes, I really wanted to have to deal with the insurance claim/HSA reimbursement from the ER visit for the scratched eyeball/pinkeye this morning. It's about as ridiculous as I expected it to be. Sigh. Goddamned small towns in the middle of nowhere.
