Guess what, LiveJournal!

As of 3:07 p.m., I got a message that the librarians found the specific book I had been looking for!!

It is Penelope Andrews' "From Cape Town to Kabul!"

I don't know what it is about, past what I could see online, which was not much.

I will probably get it on Saturday, since this evening I am going to an orchestra concert ( Read more... )

Hello LiveJournal! ^_^

What I am doing right now is staring at a pretty PDF I saved from the Uni website! I couldn't make sense of what it was auto-saving as, so I renamed it as StemCellResearchPDF.pdf, which makes me laugh every single time I look at it, so I wanted you to laugh, too.

It is discussing The Code of Practice for the Generation and ( Read more... )

Hello LiveJournal.

I just spent what felt like hours (but was probably only about twenty minutes) getting accosted by some random guy on Facebook.

At the end I just closed the conversation by politely saying I had to go, then removing him from my friendslist. It says I have slightly more than 1337 friends so I am content with that number, and could ( Read more... )

With a deliberate mispelling, since I vaguely remember a meme that is kind of like that.
Edit: I found on a place called Fanlore.org where that is from originally.

At least I have some new fancy sunglasses for when I go out. Their benefit is that they have nice windows in the sides so that even though they are big and clunky due to needing to cover ( Read more... )

I have fourteen books out from the library at the moment which I haven't finished. This includes one audiobook I have unfortunately misplaced. It is called Infinite Jest. I will renew it on 4 May if I haven't found it by then, since it is incredibly expensive to replace (by $45, so the $332 of the $377 is still coming out of my going-abroad account ( Read more... )

I researched that the fundraiser website I found takes a 2.9% chunk of the proceeds, but 2.9% * 0 = 0 so I am not concerned at the moment.

It has a link about what crowdfunding is which I never really knew about before. This is it, in fuller detail.

It says to try asking your friends on TikTok or Instagram, but I don't have a TikTok account at the ( Read more... )

In interest of not hurting my head worse, I joined Matilda on the back deck, rather than climbing out my window like I did the first time I tried to play "watch the stars" when I was maybe 15 years younger. (I had to fish Cora out midway into the time frame that they said it would occur. She was hiding.)

I did not see much of a difference in the ( Read more... )

I don't know why so many people warned me against it so much. To this very day, in fact, to the point they will recommend a list of similar novels. Objectively, I think it does not sound any different from all the other YA novels of this genre, so I don't understand... Originally I was imagining it would be like the vampire novel I had read in the ( Read more... )

What I am listening to using Libby is read by a woman with a Queen's English accent. "Received Pronunciation," I researched that is officially called. Technically nowadays it's not called QE anymore, it is called King's English, but I am reading a book about Queen Elizabeth II. There are five more hours to it, and nine minutes so if I kept it on ( Read more... )

:O! It gave some interesting factoids about this problem. For example, the scope of it at this point in estimated global history. (The END EPILEPSY people suggest that approx. 65 mil people have "one of the epilepsies" right now.)

It says the second Monday in February is when International Epilepsy Day repeats.

Do you have your cosplay outfit ready ( Read more... )
