life, bullet-listed
Jul. 10th, 2013 10:37 am\o/ The AA who works with the group I find myself attached to these days did battle with the procurement system on my behalf and now I not only have an extra power supply/cord for my laptop (thus eliminating the near-daily crawl under my desk to plug/unplug as I haul my computer home) but also gifted me with a cordless headset for my phone, which means I don't have to hold the phone with my shoulder 4+ hours/day. Truly: \o/
/o\ It rained so much last week that there were no fireworks involved in our Fourth. (Actually, I think I'm the only person who cared, but still -- no fireworks. sadface.)
\o/ The minions singing I Swear, complete with iconic white suits made me laaaaaaaaugh.
\o/ /o\ \o/ I have been paying attention to lifting weights/stretching/walking the crazy Dalmatian (hah, yes, it is post-Beach Week Detox Week(s)) and have managed to do something every day lately (\o/) but omg, just sitting around hurts (/o\). I am so not that person who says, "yeah, it hurts but I feel good, too." No endorphin rush here, sadly. Just something to check off the list (which, you know, is it's own little rush, but not what I think ppl mean.)
Wednesday Reading
...brought to you this week by some weird confluence of the aether, whereby I got hit with multiple instances of 'what I read is fine, what *you* read perpetuates the patriarchy/denies women their existence'; or Hi, I Read Romance And Slash And Comics And These Are Some Of My Favorites
What I Just Finished
Legend In Green Velvet, Elizabeth Peters -- Still funny, even after 20 years.
Bride of the MacHugh, Jan Cox Speas -- my paperback of this is literally falling apart but it still makes me very happy.
Welcome to Temptation, Jennifer Crusie -- Porn and food and cons. And fun.
I also sorted out my electronic comics (Hawkeye, Captain Marvel, Rescue, Avengers Assemble, and I can't remember what else.) I'll leave the slash to a different post.
What I'm Reading Now
To Say Nothing of the Dog, Connie Willis -- Got put on hold due to the above confluence, which means I'll probably have to start over again, but these things happen sometimes.
What I'm Reading Next
Still have Blackout, also by Willis from the library so that's probably where I'll go next.
