Read the book "Dime Store Magic" by Kelly Armstrong and quite enjoyed it, despite disliking the first book in the series, Bitten. As with that book the heroine spends the start of the book shouting at the male love interest to get lost, but in this case it's just the result of unfortunate circumstances and he's actually a pretty sweet guy. I am wondering if it's a pattern though, I'm all for romantic conflict but heroines learning to be less loud and angry is not my ideal form of escapism. Anyway: urban fantasy/horror with nice worldbuilding, likeable characters, lots of relationships between women and an exciting plot. There is still some gender essentialism (WHY URBAN FANTASY WHY) but I managed to mostly ignore it.

My Python programming class continues to be easy and fun. They have a competition to create educational videos, the ultimate winner of which will receive an iPad. I lack the energy to make them alas, but here is a cute one by one of my 11 year old classmates. Makes me want to play around in screencast-o-matic.

My laptop keyboard is acting up, I'm using a USB keyboard and it is a PAIN.

Am up to episode 17 of Season 2 of Fringe and quite enjoying it. I inhaled a bunch but am taking a break since I kind of like where the characters are at and get the feeling things are about to get intense. I like all the characters, I don't want them to be sad/dead/written out etc!

Kaleidoscope reveals tomorrow!

I made an alt in Glitch called Allie S Squibber, playing again from the start has been super fun. I do still enjoy the ease of playing with my overpowered regular character, though, and look how pretty she is right now. (EDIT: More friends are always good! FYI Sequoia Baer is a higher level and thus more helpful if you ever find yourself in need of someone to plant a tree on your street for your pigs to eat etc)

oh my god he's 11? *sob*

he went a bit fast, but i thought he did a good job explaining the local vs global thing. also, tree = 5 :DDDD

i've looked at glitch a couple of times now, and it does look neat, but it also looks overwhelming. too many variables. then again, kingdom of loathing eventually got to a point where there were too many variables for me. plus it's all live, right? so other players can see you when you're playing? that freaks me out. i don't want people looking at me!

Yes, it is live, and other players can see you. You can be fairly solitary but not entirely. There's a cute little "hello" button you can press if talking is too much, and they try to introduce all the variables gradually (plus if you play enough you get so overpowered it's all moot) but I'm not 100% convinced it's your sort of game from the sound of things.
