I’m typing this on my new Goldtouch keyboard, and so far I don’t like it. I like how the keys feel, but this one doesn’t come apart. It splits, and I can’t seem to find a comfortable position with it. The ergonomic mouse, however, is a dream. In the news interesting to nobody except my

Red Flowers and Cold Days
It’s a cold morning. I’ve already ran the dishwasher, I have Hot Cinnamon tea in my cup, and my “Christmas” Amaryllis finally bloomed. Unfortunately, I also have compression gloves on my hands, as the 7th edit of Maggie did kill my hands a little bit. I don’t usually get carpal tunnel. I end up with

A Prologue of Much Darkness
Today didn’t quite turn out as expected, since we had to make a run to the doctor’s office, which was scheduled, but she was unable to draw my blood for some routine bloodwork, and we ended up going to the LabCorp. That had taken almost 2 hours – the wait was long – but was

Happy Holiday Week
There is no giveaway today, as Mod R should have this week off. I say should because sometimes she will sneakily work anyway. So this is just a life and everything post. It’s a warm, damp morning in Texas. We are sitting at 60 degrees, and moisture saturates the air, so dense that you half

The Tavern of Mud
Part 1: A Man on the Road. I’ve added the second part to that original post, but you can read it here, too. The rain was everywhere: it drenched her from above, it ran off the brim of her hat, it flew into her face and dripped under her riding leathers, somehow getting under her

Book Hangover and Readiness Fail
I stayed up till 2:00 am reading Silver and Blood by Jessie Mihalik. It is an amazing book. This is your official warning that once it goes on sale, I’m going to write a long post obsessing over it. I can’t really talk about it, because the manuscript was given to me in confidence, but

I don’t think there was a corner of the world left unrepresented. FOR THE HORDE! The Random Number Generator did its job this morning and picked the lucky

A Slice of Somewhere Else
Hey everyone, Mod R here. Or should I say the resident Grinch? I feel Ilona on wanting holiday cheer (ffs!), but I for one have been desperately resisting the coming of winter. Like many of you, I don’t think the Roaring Whatthefucks 2020s have shown all they can do yet, so I’m not actually in
