Just another special snowflake in the big drift. Elder geek, reader, sometimes writer, current student, poodle wrangler, servant of cats, Godzilla analyst (Toho, not Monsterverse), dabbler in many things, ignorer of current events.
All the school! No time for online! One last paper, then midterms! Why do I love this so much?

I collect what I think of as "odd" books (I did this more back in the day when Barnes & Noble was just a catalogue full of obscure books). Some become references for writing. Some cause bookshelf whiplash. This is much dryer than the title suggests, but interesting.

Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie -- did the audiobook version this time, and I liked it just as much. Better the second time, too.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley -- third read. Better with annotations.

AI, first contact, and poetry -- Tennyson, in particular, both poems included in the book also being in my assigned reading. Made both things better.

I keep having the thought that, this summer, I should pull out some of my dusty MMS and do some editing and rewriting, and then attempt to publish...if I don't stress out and hide under the bed again. It IS a conundrum.

I draw like this pretty much every day. It's a meditation. I used to do it on my tablet, but now I'm all about the ink and paper. This one is a tablet drawing.
