I just finished reading the all three books that are currently available in the Morris & Chastain Supernatural Investigations series by Justin Gustainis. I have no complaints about Black Magic Woman or Evil Ways, which hang together pretty closely. Sympathy for the Devil, though, ended with a cliffhanger! How dare he! The reader is left […]
Heat
It is just too bloody hot. I couldn’t sleep last night and it’s too danged hot to sleep again tonight. I do not enjoy summer weather.
It Is the Flu
And now I have it, too. Damn it. I had tried to get back to blogging daily, but good intentions just didn’t hold a candle against the entire household coming down with the flu.1 For some reason I thought Tamiflu was a one or two-pill affair, but I suppose I had it confused with one […]
Microsoft Fail — MS Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 Review and Tale of A Painful Free Upgrade
That shouldn’t be worth posting about, but it took more work than it should have. Summary: I probably should have stuck with Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combinations, because I didn’t have a problem with the previous set I had and never had occasion to call their technical support. But since I bought a Microsoft product, it […]
Tired Now
I had a pain doctor appointment last week, but wasn’t up to going. So Sam rescheduled it for me, and I headed across town today. Apparently this was the day for “fitting in” everybody who has canceled an appointment in the last Goddess-knows-how-long, because I arrived to find no parking (even on the street in front […]
Feeling Pouty — Please Skip, Whinging Ahead
Bah. I don’t feel good and I can’t sleep any more and I’m the only one awake. There’s a very childish part of me that wants very much to find a way to wake Sam up so I won’t be alone. No, I wouldn’t feel any better, but darn it, I’d have company! But I’m […]
Have you gone a day without your cell phone?
I had not one, but two cellphones die in just a few months last year (or the year before? I’m fuzzy on it now). We have replacement insurance on our phones, but the company takes a few days to get the replacement to us. Since we don’t have a land line any more, I felt […]
It Burns!
I was reading Eileen Wilks’ Tempting Danger and mostly enjoying it, until I hit one of the sex scenes. And then, she wrote something like, “This time adagio,1 rather than fortissimo.2″ There wasn’t one editor or proofreader with any musical knowledge? Those are very basic terms. Of course, at one point a character’s name changes from […]
Too Hot!
It’s 90 degrees F outside now. It was 103 earlier. We’re still in the first week of June. I have no idea what the “effective temperature” (or whatever they call it) is when the humidity is factored in. Even with monthly filter changes and window units in both bedrooms, the air conditioner just can’t keep up. Unfortunately, […]
Blah
That’s pretty much my opinoin today. Blah. Blah blah blah. I couldn’t wake up enough to drive safely, so I missed an appointment that will take months to reschedule. For every assignment we do in the tech writing course I’m taking, we turn in a rough draft and receive two peer reviews and feedback from […]
