I might have gotten lucky
My ancient (12 years) old HP desktop came up with a massive error at dinner time (it heard me talking about replacing it I think) none of the repairs worked until I went to the advanced attempt. 3 hours later I see it's back to the main screen. It's too late (i.e. my brain shut down) to go see if I can get my stuff off of it. don't get me wrong. I have 90% of it backed up but I might not have the last photos saved.
Also it heard me that I was ready to use its cd drive to save the cds I want to keep and ditch the hundreds of cds I have and almost never listen to any more. So naturally it probably is dead. I hope that it'll still be alive in the morning for me to try.
I wasn't even meant to be here with that computer today. I was supposed to go to Chillicothe to meet a friend at a pop up art thing but neither of us felt great and it's pissing down rain. (Holy crap we got lucky with that cabin. It poured the day before we got there and the day after we left but was gorgeous when we were there). Ah well.
I'm trying to figure out how the more I clean the worst the place looks.
In better news, I sent in a story to Weird Horror because why not. It's probably not weird enough but I figure it's free to try (and I hadn't submitted that story all year. It's a shame. I think it's a good one but it hasn't fit any open calls)
I even have some community recs this week
inkingitout is doing sign ups for next year (HOW? HOW are we half way thru november??)
smallfandomfest is currently doing sign ups.
worderlands a new writing community
writethisfanfic another one i need to look into
ushobwri writing support group
Since I did Music Monday on a Wed. I'll do the Wed reading thing today
What I Just Finished Reading:
Nothing Special, Vol. 1: Through the Elder Woods by Katie Cook I liked it but also am glad the library has the next volume too because I didn't like it enough to buy it.
What I am Currently Reading:
Minstrels in the Galaxy (the SF anthology I'm in)
Kill Creek by Scott Thomas, horror, 4 horror writers in a haunted house. It's too early to say. so far I like it
She Hasn't Got a Clue - a mystery arc I have mixed feelings over because the protagonist can be annoying AF
What I Plan to Read Next: got two books from the library
