(no subject)
I've just spent over five incredibly frustrating hours trying to get my computer to work, and it's still only barely cooperating. It's lucky that I don't have anything sufficiently heavy at hand, or I probably would no long have a computer at all. I'm so filled with techno-hate right now. I've been marinating some chicken in rum, lime and chilis for dinner tonight, and at this point I keep thinking "heck with the chicken, gimme that rum!" I will catch up with all my comments, emails and reading everyone's snappy posts, but it'll likely be slow going.
Remember writing on paper? I miss paper.
Book meme, nicked from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Book(s) I just finished reading:
Good Omens (reread #2079)
Black Orchids- Rex Stout
Prisoner's Base- Rex Stout
The Eyes of the Killer Robot- John Bellairs
Nowheresville- Mark Rickett (that's a graphic novel, actually)
Book(s) I am currently in the midst of reading:
Might As Well Be Dead- Rex Stout
Amphigorey and Amphigorey Too- Edward Gorey (childhood faves of mine)
Classical Turkish Cooking- Ayla Algar
The Blue Sword- Robin McKinley
Hen Frigates: Wives of Merchant Captains Under Sail- Joan Druett
Books waiting patiently to be read next:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (baaaa)
Raising Demons- Shirley Jackson
The Mummy, the Will, and the Crypt- John Bellairs
Maigret and the Nahour Case- Georges Simenon
The Music of the Spheres- Elizabeth Redfern
I always have a bunch of books going at once (obviously), and in the summer I tend to do a lot of rereading (and I read a lot of kids' books as well). 95% of those books I've already read. But they get me through the summer heat, which not my friend.
And this seemed apropos considering the meme. Nicked from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

You will be smothered under a rug. You're a little
anti-social, and may want to start gaining new
social skills by making prank phone calls.
What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?

Alright, time to play catch up. Stupid computer.
