I have deduced that I am on my own for dinner. Chinese food delivery plans now spiraling out of control.

There's nothing wrong with reading a book you love over and over. When you do, the words get inside you, become a part of you, in a way that words in a book you've read only once can't. - Gail Carson Levine

Ah yes. It’s later than usual, but the WorldCon drama has begun. So sad I missed the Finnish con, since that was the only year in recent memory without any.

Micro SF/F stories by O Westin  

A spaceship landed, and an alien emerged.
"Greetings," it said, "um. We apologise for abducting your leader. We did not notice her coming aboard when we were here last week."
A cat emerged from the spaceship and sat down to clean her paws.
"Here she is," the alien said.

I totally began searching for “bathtub sous vide” as a solution to the bath water getting cold. It seems there are items marketed for this, but they lack the thermostat...

Update again: I forgot that that bulb was on a special circuit only accessible from the outside circuit breaker. Flipping that worked. Back to automated lighting.

Update: did not fix. I think I’m going to have to replace the switch - probably go with a dumb one and Hue bulbs, now that they sell outdoor floods.

When you store and transport your most treasured digital content unbacked-up on a 3.44" diskette you have finally subscribed to the idea that everything is transient and are finally free from the shackles of consumerism.

We had a power blip earlier today and the Leviton smart switch on our porch light won’t turn on again. There are critters munching, but I can’t see them. Last time this happened a power blip FIXED it, so maybe tomorrow I’m going to go find the right breaker and flip it.

This may be the most wandering.shop experiment I've ever done.

I finished Wanderers by Chuck Wendig this morning and I need everyone else to read it so I can squee loudly and flail arms about it.
