Prepare the blue fire
It's a bright side/dark side sort of week. On the bright side, my local B&N had several copies of Kingdoms, and copies of Brave New Love. Also, my unfucking habits have held on: not only is the kitchen clean, but I have coffee prepped and ready for tomorrow morning, and made my lunch. Also also, I went to a new dentist today, and was quite happy with her. My cavity was filled with entirely no fuss or pain, and I didn't have any other cavities lurking out of sight.
On the dark side... My laptop Jadis died yesterday. She'd been running slow for a while, so I freed up some memory and rebooted. Only for her to never wake up from the reboot. Steven still isn't sure what the problem is, but it does seem like most of my data is intact, somewhere out of reach. Say it with me now, children:
Back up early. Back up often.
So I'm borrowing Steven's Macbook for the time being, and hoping for the best.

Yay.
Further, I planned to read Kingoms in comfy chunks, before bedtime, and make it last a week or so. That plan failed the third night in. I just had to find out what happened next, and next, and next... and finished the book before the sun rose.
Awesome.

My laptop just rolled over and croaked on the same day yours did
I was however thinking that it was going to fall apart pretty soon and so I was honestly using it like a cloud computer, I used it to do stuff in google docs so i wouldn't have to fuss about with transferring files to/from the desktop. The only thing on the drive that I *lost* was logfiles from instant message sessions.
