So I'm kind of REALLY hating IQ84...
I’m a little over a quarter of the way through it now, and last night I had to read until I got to a place I actually liked because I knew that if I “stopped for the night” while hating it that intensely, I’d never pick it up again. I’m hoping things will improve, though. At this point my hypothesis is that it’s a case of “this author is so famous, the...

From where do you download your audiobooks?
Most of them came from the library. I check out the cds, load them onto my computer, put them in a playlist in the right order and then put the playlist on my ipod.
But some of them came from audible.com, which I briefly had a subscription to thanks to a holiday...

email from my father...
When you were a child, I went over to the Z’s to pick you up and heard someone playing the piano. When Janet answered the door, she told me that it was you and wasn’t it marvelous. You weren’t playing any song, just improvising and it sounded good. Until Janet came to the door, I thought it was her and when I saw her coming (and the music hadn’t stopped), I thought it...

make me a copy?!
Once I finish it I’m giving it to Roisin, so it’ll probably be printed in the Indy. But if it isn’t, I’ll make you a copy.
OverDrive expands public library catalogs →
“We’re allowing libraries to be better connected with their communities,” OverDrive CEO Steve Potash said during a recent interview. “Right now, we have librarians who are trying to add books to the e-catalog but don’t always know what to add. Now, by exposing a publisher’s entire list, it becomes like crowdsourcing, where patrons can offer their suggestions.”
Potash said he expects the program...

Read this shit before flipping out about Google. →
mr-owls:
Take note:
If you’re signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you’ve expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube. We’ll better understand which version of Pink or Jaguar you’re searching for and get you those results faster.
That is it. That is all that consolidating the information accomplishes. They’re not...
I keep saying I’m going to be back at Purchase all the time, but everything about today just made me feel like I didn’t belong.

WatchKitten wearing a headband. You’ve got to see it to believe it.
Also please note that we discovered the headband trick because he does it to himself, I’m not torturing him or anything.

My favorite part was when your phone went off and I thought for a second you were in the same room as me.
Sometimes when I’m watching episodes where River Song says “spoilers!” I think my phone is going off. It’s a hazard I gladly accept.

‘Sherlock’ Season 3 Coming ‘When We’re Ready’;... →
‘Sherlock’ co-creator Steven Moffat promises that fans won’t have to wait too long for season 3 – but still longer than normal, while also revealing his plan to return to ‘Sherlock’ in 2030, with the same cast.
The other day I was falling asleep to The Beekeeper’s Apprentice and thinking how lovely it would be if this cast came back in a decade or two to play out some of Laurie R....

a texting conversation with Brosheen, circa last...
Me: I just reblogged
Me: this thing with a bunny
Me: with stuff on its head
Me: it's the new swot perderdet
Me: I ask straight up crying right now
Me: it's so fucking funny
[...]
Brosheen: I figured you were drunk
Brosheen: I know you better than to assume you'd spell "swot perderder" incorrectly.
Me: Shut up you're a swot perderder
Brosheen: I think that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.
Me: No I love you you're my best friend what are you talking about take it back
Me: The bunny had a waffle on his head and melanie is eating a waffle
Me: Waffles
Brosheen: Hahahaha you said I was swot perderder which you think is hilarious so I just took that comment to mean you think I am hilarious
Me: You are as funny as a bunny with a waffle on its head [ed. note: at this point, I am literally crying, I am laughing so hard at this bunny.)
Me: Which is a lot

I'm really tempted to make Irene's moan my texting...
And then I’d accidentally be in public places and my phone would be in my pocket going “ohhhhh.” And while I can see the appeal, I don’t think it’s the best idea.
