Words and Woes
My laptop was in the shop for three days, and it was like being in mourning. :D The good news is that I have it back and am out less money than I might have been; the bad news is that they couldn't repair it (broken touchpad) due to the part being unavailable, so the only thing I got for my money is a slightly cleaner broken laptop. D:< Technology exists to try us!
Before my enforced separation, I was reading two Cnovels - Married Thrice to Salted Fish (new to me), with a reading group, and After I Married the Disabled God of War as my Concubine* (which I'd started some time ago and lost track of). Hopefully I can get back on track with both, but especially the former since I don't want to read the group discussion till I'm caught up.
Without a laptop, I found myself in the mood to read mysteries, so I reread two Sayers (Have His Carcase and Gaudy Night) and two Kings (The Beekeeper's Apprentice and A Monstrous Regiment of Women).
The laptop's absence also put a crimp in my Flight Rising gameplay, so now I'm scrambling for treasure. Lair expansions and expensive Gen1 projects await me!
----------
*Every single time I trot out this title I'm torn between groaning and giggling. It is The Most Cnovel Title Cnovel title I have ever encountered! I can't say it without feeling that it comes out slightly mocking, it's just that absurdly typical.
