I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

ion, I love my Kindle Fire more than my kids some days. It's the best toy I've ever had outside of my Easy Bake Oven and the Barbie head that you could put makeup on.

Hubby was sure I'd get tired of my Nook, but it's become one of those things that I get antsy not to have within arm's reach

This is how I feel about my iPod Touch. It has the internet! And games! (And a Kindle app.) Only now I'm realizing that if we have it docked in the stereo to stream Pandora, I can't be playing Plants vs. Zombies. This is quite a quandary.

Because books.

Sara doesn't let me play with her iPod Touch too often. And also I love the Kindle's bigger screen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am obviously the easiest person to give shit to in the office. Developer got distracted by my 2011 Supernatural calendar, which I just took down, and was frowning at the lovely faces on the cover, so I turned it over so he could see all the images from each month, turned around my Community mug so Troy & Abed were looking at him and moved my Leverage Hardison "Geek power baby. Stay strong" water bottle between us.

Don't mess with my fictional boyfriends (okay, it's just platonic between me, Sam, and Abed, but still...), dude.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Although she is in general very respectful of actual doctors, even though she never follows their advice.

Ha, that was totally my grandmother.

Funeral is tomorrow. We're going out to play pub trivia tonight.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

There's a part of me that wants to watch ita and Pete play board games, but only if I'm not participating and am at a minimum safe distance.

With tasty adult beverages. This is key.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Rock on, Connie. SUCK IT, nosy neighbors.

House is semi-presentable. It will have to do. At least I finally hung the shower curtains?

Speaking of Hardison, has everyone seen this interview with Aldis Hodge and his mother? [link] He is so on my laminated list.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You will sell tickets, or film it, or both, right?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Honestly, I'm underwhelmed by the e-reader experience (the Kindle was a Christmas gift from my brother and SIL -- completely unexpected, because I've never expressed any interest in an e-reader). My brain likes physical books better. I mean the actual reading experience of ink on paper. I can't explain it.

Steph, this is me. I also find I'm more willing to abandon books on the Nook than I am real library books. I just finished i Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and I skimmed big chunks of it in a way I wouldn't do with a real book.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I am the opposite! One of the things I hate about the Kindle is that I am stuck on one page! There's no easy way to just flip back or thumb through upcoming pages to see whether I should keep reading. Sure, there is apparently some sort of jump feature, but I haven't figured out quite how to use it, and it can never be as quick and useful as flipping through paper pages.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The only thing I find with the Nook is that I forget I have new books, because I don't see the shiny volume itself sitting on my nightstand. But other than that, I really love it, and I still use it all the time. The SO just got the Color and he's all about it. Which is good because it means I can finally sort out the "shelves" to my liking now that he wanted his own account.
