#NationalColoringBookDay is a real thing, apparently.

So first of all, THANK YOU for yesterday. You were fantastic and distracting and I highly recommend reading the comments because they are magic. The Apple people say my hard drive is borked but they think they can fix it by next week and that my back-up will have saved all my stuff. Tentative yay?Continue reading “#NationalColoringBookDay is a real thing, apparently.”

Coloring. But less stressful. (Yes, I am aware how ridiculous this sounds.)

Two unrelated things: First: This morning I got bit on the eye by an ant. And that was concerning, but more baffling was the fact that the ant managed to crawl all the way up to my eye before attacking. That’s, like, so much work for I-don’t-even-know-what-the-payoff-is.

It isn’t in YOU ARE HERE and the numbers are very limited so this is the only way to get one. Click here to findContinue reading “Get thee to an independent bookstore.”

WHO LOOKS STUPID NOW?
