Today route_venusa and I stood in a bakery line for at least twenty minutes, then another ten minutes waiting to pay.

Carb cravings are serious business. So are carb comas.

(But their egg tart is seriously the best egg tart I've ever had. Totally worth it.)

Things to reply to everywhere; I will get to them tomorrow, after sleep.

I'm late to the party, but I'm seeing some agitation over "the new Harley Quinn" and I was like, wait, what? New Harley Quinn? I've seen the new Supergirl outfit and I know DC Comics is launching, relaunching or rebooting (and, of course, slashing) all sorts of titles, but it didn't even occur to me that they would touch other costumes besides ( Read more... )

Waiting for an electrician to arrive and figure out why the kitchen's powerless (oppressed kitchens everywhere, free yourselves and the rights to clean kitchen appliances).

The library has given up sending paper mail when new books arrive on my Reserved shelf. I never got them to alert me by email. I suppose I will have to just check in once a week - not that I mind.

TBR Books:

Whitechapel Gods (SM Peters)
Deathless (Catherynne Valente)

( Other books I've put on reserve. )

I shared the link on Facebook, but it's so gleeful that I must share it here too:

I'm trying not to think about the fact that Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy) is rebooting The Flintstones.

Accepting Submissions

Machine of Death 2 is open for submissions until July 15. You know you want to submit to it. 1) You will have the Power of the Internet ensuring it's a hit (to some degree; MOD1 was an Amazon #1 Bestseller for a day). 2) $200 USD payment is pretty reasonable. 3) MOD1 made Glenn Beck mad.

I might submit something.
