  1. A while back I said I might be done with the Shard.  Well, this is my official statement of that.  I had good times on here with y'all, but it's time for me to move on.  I do have a tumblr, but since it's almost completely Formula One, I won't mention it here.

    Peace out, everyone.

  2. I read all of Set The Stars Alight by Amanda Dykes today. It's not the end-all be-all, but I really like her work. Next is a book called The Wolf Den.
  3. Not sure if it counts as 'ridiculous', but I just found out yesterday that the way I would put 'The Battle' from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe soundtrack on loop for an hour was not a universal experience! Most people do not loop songs for hours, I guess.
  4. I read Good Morning, Midnight, which was good, but left me with a few unanswered questions. Next is Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri.
  5. 'It's cheaper at Barnes and Noble' said no one ever, except me buying the Vivere album from there because I 'don't have enough songs with lyrics on my iPod', completely ignoring the fact that I still won't be on aux because most people around here like lyrics they can understand, which means not Romance languages.

    That is all, the Spotify rant will wait for another day.

    1. Lotus Blossom

      YAY! I LOVE BARNES AND NOBLE! It's literally my favorite store. I went there yesterday :]

  6. I'm working my way through some of Andrea Bocelli's discography, and really enjoying it. The best way to describe it is it feels like there's a hole in my chest, but in like. A good way.
  7. Probably gravitation. Do you put stickers on your computer?
  8. Nope! I feel like I'd have to skim enough looking for where those POVs are to render the point moot. TPBM embroiders.
  9. Just finished Savage Legion, and while I did not feel like it was the length that it was, I don't think I'm going to contine. Currently I'm reading The Empire's Ghost by Isabelle Steiger and while it seems to be a slow start, I'm tentatively saying I like it. After that, I'm gonna try the Horatio Hornblower series.
  10. I don't think I have. TPBM keeps an eye out for good furniture.
  11. I'm trying to brute force my sleep schedule back into something that will let me wake up early with little consequence (this is also blamable on my new Formula One interest) and it's so boring.  Now I'm spending three hours laying there doing nothing instead of one.

    Also I watched Pompeii last night.  Solid volcano, excellent plot, in that it's very easy to say 'no it didn't, ignore that last bit'.

     

  12. Lonely Castle In The Mirror turned out to be quite good. I did cotton on to the twist fairly early, but it didn't ruin it for me. Tress was delightful, Frugal Wizard as well. I found the first three Shannara books in one binding, so I figure I might as well give that a go next.
  13. Yes. This is the first year since I was ten that they've been visible on my face, though. What's your favorite flower?
  14. Typewriter keys. 'Twould be in character. Are you a summer or winter person?
  15. I am attempting to watch Padmaavat, but as I don't speak Hindi and there are no subtitles, this is gonna be slow going.
  16. I have, I read almost all of the Foundation series. TPBM went swimming today.
  17. There's lots of places I'd like to visit, but there's this one specific part of Indiana that I really like that I think would be nice, if I ever decide I need less rain and more thunderstorms.
  18. Curious to see what you think of Shards of Earth. I read that a few months back. It was very interesting. Have you read any other books by the author?
  19. Don't think so? Maybe I know the choruses of three, but not the whole thing. TPBM has a sunburn.
  20. Even later, but I finally got to read this, and while I'm glad I didn't spend money I couldn't afford to lose, I almost wish I had bought the book, because this was absolutely delightful! I really got the fairy-tale feeling, and it was just down-right cozy.
  21. New Interest: Formula One

    ...How did we get here.  I don't even like driving my own car (iPhone crylaugh emoji that the Shard doesn't have a sibling of)

      This is literally my dad right now lollllll

      What got you into it?

      Great question.  Would you believe me if I said a roundabout journey from The Silmarillion?

      To be honest I have very little idea what's going on, but that's to be expected for being a week into an interest, for me at least.

  22. No thoughts, just Brian Tyler's Formula One theme. I know nothing about music theory, but the way the chords in parts of this piece rise into the following chord gets me.
  23. Working on The Blighted Stars, which is, among many things, large, easily digestible, and also maybe I should have guessed at this (Series title, The Devoured Worlds), but significantly creepier than I expected. This being the SoK scale, it is rather cockeyed at a strange angle relative to the norm. Not offputting, but unexpected. Next up: Lonely Castle In The Mirror, a novel translated from Japanese that I have high hopes for, and Spine Of The Dragon, which will either be quite good, or will quickly lose me. But after that, it's finally time for my Brando Sando double feature of Tress and Frugal Wizard, as both are finally ready!
