specially for Vonnie.... (and SM Stirling's "Dies the Fire")
Okay, so I saw the following in a story announcement: Pairing: Rodjohn.
... no jury in the land will convict me, right?
Right?

In other news, I filed today. Very exciting. And tried to take some incredibly dull web-based training. *Yawn*.
Last night I sat up too late reading S.M. Stirling's Dies the Fire, which suffers from the same illness so many post-apocalyptic stories do, which is the glorification of the manly and the fascist. ::sigh:: This despite the fact that half the story is told from the pov of a folk-music-playing Wicca-practicing single mom. But by the end of the novel she's the leader of her own little quasi-fuedal gang in the hills, with swords and shields and clan tartans and all that. Yikes.
I won't even get into the overwhelming importance of the ethnic background of every. single. character. Diversity is nice, but this bordered on the creepy.
... and I'm off home. A slightly better day than yesterday, despite spending 20 minutes this morning poking around the Peace Corps website. Actually accomplishing something definitely makes a difference in my mood, I have to admit.
