Woe to the fucking wicked.

I have the final Temeraire book open in another app Right Now! I've also been reading lots of Schitt's Creek fic, since we just finished the series.

Today's message of "don't do meth, kids!" is brought to you by helping someone younger than me shower (at work). And surprise poops.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Surprise poops are almost never good.

Fingers crossed that they get the situation improved with your mom, Sheryl!

Is Temeraire the fantasy series written offline by astolat? Or do I have my big name fanfic writers mixed up?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

It is, Matt.

Don’t do meth seems like a good plan even without surprise poops but definitely that would drive it home.

I had to be fasting for labs this morning and now my head hurts and I want to go back to bed but I have to work for a living. Boo.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I’m going to have to dive back in to Temeraire and Curse of Chalion and a half dozen new to me things after this conversation.

I use their apps on my laptop or iPad or mobile phone

The draw of the actual Kindle for me is that I don’t get notifications or keep absently popping over to email or FB or solitaire. I stay much more focused.

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

I cycle between reading on my kindle, on a laptop, and on my phone. Not being able to search as well or look things up as easily on the laptop irritates me. I use those kind of a lot. And I can't read magazines at all on the laptop. But having a tab open that I can switch to while I'm waiting for a report to finish running rather than going to a completely different device is nice. Weirdly, I can read magazines formatted to match the print edition on my phone but not on the kindle, but of course the phone has a tiny screen. I got a Kindle Oasis specifically because it is waterproof (or resistant, I forget which) so I could read in the steam room at the gym and I actually do that sometimes. It's also designed to be held one handed and it really does seem more comfortable lying in bed holding an iPad - although I haven't been able to justify getting a new iPad since my last one got old and tired and cranky so I am not comparing to today's iPads, they may be better in that respect.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

First hummingbird of the season at my feeder. Yay!

Pretty hummingbirds!
