I just read Nimona and I loved it. Have any of you read it?
I love Nimona SO MUCH.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
This morning, I stopped at Trader Joe's on the way in and bought 6 bags of Baconesque and 2 bags of Chicago Mix for the library snacks.
I didn't get here until 10:30 (went back to bed thanks to my tree sex headache) and the popcorn didn't get put out until almost 11.
Half of it is gone already.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Nimona is great! I've read the whole thing online and am waiting for my dead-tree version.

Nimona left me with so many feels! Enough so that I just bought Lumberjanes.
Lee, the fact that any is still left is a testament to your self-control, cause I'd just eat it all.

Me too, although I haven't read it yet.

Oh, I only had a little. It's everyone else in the office eating it, and then coming back with other people for more.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I just read Nimona a couple of months ago and liked it muchly.
I don't know, I can see how you could get that out of the quote, but ... maybe I am hung up on what it means for something to matter. It just won't click in my brain.
Words, man, the more I poke at them the less I know what they mean.

I am thinking about starting Lumberjanes (it is advertised in Giant Days which I like very much but I am a John Allison fan from way back.

I loved Nimona! Also Digger, which is about a cranky competent areligious female wombat engineer. So great.
Love the theology discussion but I can't participate on my phone.
In other news, Flonase just gave me a bloody nose, so I think that means the tree sex wins.

This hospital billing system is driving me insane. It thinks I owe either $1,100, $1,300, $1,500 or $4,000. The last is impossible, because of my out-of-pocket maximum. It has no record of my payment of three weeks ago. I tried to see my bills online and it says I have no bills. I tried checking by phone. If I log in by phone with my account number, it says I owe $1,100. If I log in by my SSN, it says I owe $4,000. Oh, and after entering the various numbers and my birth date, it says, "This is the account for Ginger. If this is correct, press 1. If not, press 2." When I press 1, it says, "I do not understand your response." I finally started over and, in a fit of madness, I pressed 2. It logged me in.
I'm going to have to again try to get a human between 8 and 4, when I have a treatment tomorrow that will last at least 3 hours. The hours between 8 and 4 are rarely my own.
We hatesss them.
