Today was form day. Today was also first day I actually drove to an actual place all by my actual self. It went well except for the bits where it did not, like the time I panicked and turned one intersection too early. That put my in at the entrance to the shopping centre loading dock, filled with many No Stopping signs (or I would have stopped) and when I got back to where I was the No Right Turn sign meant I had to take the long way round. Panic/not-panic, I can do both of those.

Keeping the windows up from paranoia about hair blowing in my eyes meant it was, as they say, bloody hot. I felt a bit weak after getting out which meant I had to get a milkshake to ward off dehydration(?) and accidentally bought a copy of Elizabeth Moon's first Serrano Legacy omnibus too (she is famous for The Deed of Paksenarrion and so why not give her a try?). Would have bought a copy of The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants too but it had mention of being also a movie, which is not allowed. There were new hunger-tempting books by Tad Williams and Kate Elliott ([personal profile] kateelliott) too. Still need to find Shadowmarch in tradeback. Stop talking about books now if it is just to list hunger. It is unseemly.

There also were Teenage Nutant Minja Turtles at the shopping centre but it seemed they could only afford Donatello and only if he left his brains behind. It was loud.
But am in no mood to actually communicate, here are two posts from Ballastexistenz.

I wonder what George Orwell would think of the show 'Big Brother'.

I have not yet seen the movie Sunshine but I suspect Stephen Baxter's Xeelee sequence was more interesting. What other stories of Sol dying early? (The Time Machine does not count, H.G. Wells wrote it before we knew how the thing worked although in The Time Ships... [Hmm, Baxter again]).

Possibly one reason the show Medium bothers me so much is that the Allison Dubois character is so clearly the centre of the universe it freaks me out. I feel like looking somewhere she is not would reveal a great howling nothingness.

Inconsistent symbolic markers for text. Clearly I do not know what I am doing.

with being only a tenth of the way to my word target is that I cannot fix this by copy-pasting what I have written ten times over. There would be far too much editing involved.

It rained repeatedly at me after I did my washing so... we shall see about sheets.
