List!
- So much snow today! It's hard to tell exact accumulation because it's all shoveled and plowed into piles, but I'm thinking we got about two feet. I went to work this morning, and then got sent home around 10:30. I think only 4 people from finance came in. The accumulation wasn't really the worst part, though. All the snowflakes were really tiny and it was coming down really fast, so it was very close to being a whiteout. Also, I got a huge ice build-up on my windshield wipers on the way home, which sucked. But I made it there and back safe!
- Shoveled out the car around 4 o'clock, but it's still snowing, so we'll see how getting out in the morning is. Supposed to get 4-6 overnight, which is pushing it for getting out without shoveling some more, especially since I'm parked on the street. I'm kind of hoping that they'll just tell me not to come in tomorrow, but I realistically doubt it. Fingers crossed anyway!
- Finished a bunch of things since my last post!
- Transistor was a fun game, although I might have liked more detail in the story. It was very much fill in the blanks storytelling.
- Foreigner by C. J. Cherryh was good, if a bit slow, but I may be overly influenced by nostalgia, so don't take my word for it.
- Listened to Apropos of Nothing by Peter David. Humorous and satirical fantasy, but also much darker than I expected it to be. I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to, but that's because it hit my sadistic sense of humor. Not recommended for those easily triggered, but if you like black humor, might be worth checking out.
- Also listened to Romancing the Inventor by Gail Carriger. Cute little lesbian romance set in the same universe as her other books. Might have been better if I'd known the characters ahead of time, but still enjoyable in its own right.
Current things:
- Right now, am listening to Everfair by Nisi Shawl. Lots of 3 star reviews for it, and I think I understand why. It jitters from character to character, but accomplishes very little in the time that it gives each character, opting instead to talk about events that have already happened from that character's point of view. Not bad, but certainly easy to lose the thread of things, and sometimes not very stimulating. I've still got a lot of the book to go, though, so that could change.
- Reading Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer. Slow start, but now that I'm further in, I'm loving the characters and the setting. Far more focused on the social issues and politics of the time than I was expected, but the characters are fantastic. I keep forgetting that they're not real people.
- Also overdosing on One Piece Pirate Warriors 3, which is a Dynasty Warriors-style game but with One Piece. I tend toward completionism with video games, so it's killing me. XD So much fun, though. I played 4 and a half hours today, and am thinking about squeezing in a few more games.
