alias_sqbrRead 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)
