Things Done Instead of Blogging

leahbobetI appear not to have blogged in a week. It seems I really didn't have that much to say. >.>
Stuff I've been doing instead:
1) I'm the new support person for the OWW, filling![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ccfinlay's prodigious shoes*. This means moderating the writing list, answering support questions, and doing a grab bag of other stuff I'm just getting started on. There being some backlog, this has eaten a bit of time.
So far, I'm enjoying it. It's good work and I'm glad I put my name in for the job.
2) Essays. 'Nuff said.
3) My mommy, being a nice mommy (and no, she doesn't read this LJ, so I say that because I think so, not out of obligation) took me for a spa half-day on Sunday. Among other things, I was persuaded to get the manicure/pedicure bit in A Colour That Isn't Blue.
(I like blue nailpolish. It is more punk-rock than other nailpolish, and if you have to be painting your nails, punk-rock is a good way to be.)
Instead I got this:
I think this colour is rightfully called Death Plum. It makes me feel like a sexual predator. I see it on my little toes and think perhaps I'm not seducing and destroying enough hapless innocent men.
4) List of books I've read since the last time I did a Book Reports post:
#64 -- Austin Grossman, Soon I Will Be Invincible
#65 -- Megan Whalen Turner, The Thief
#66 -- Elizabeth Bear, Undertow
#67 -- Sean Stewart, Resurrection Man
#68 -- Stephen King, The Drawing of the Three
#69 -- Brett Savory, In and Down
not-#70 -- T. A. Pratt, Blood Engines
#70 -- Karen Joy Fowler, Sarah Canary
#71 -- Robert Charles Wilson, Blind Lake
#72 -- Nick Sagan, Idlewild
#73 -- Charles Stross, Halting State
#74 -- Robertson Davies, What's Bred in the Bone
#75 -- Emma Bull, Territory
#76 -- Octavia Butler, Parable of the Talents
#77 -- Liz Williams, The Demon and The City
#78 -- Catherynne M. Valente, The Orphan's Tales: In the Cities of Coin and Spice
#79 -- Sharon Shinn, General Winston's Daughter
#80 -- Michael Chabon, Gentlemen of the Road
#81 -- Megan Whalen Turner, The Queen of Attolia
#82 -- Megan Whalen Turner, The King of Attolia
#83 -- Tricia Sullivan, Maul
#84 -- M. John Harrison, Light
#85 -- Ellen Kushner, Swordspoint
#86 -- Liz Williams, Precious Dragon
#87 -- Justine Larbalestier, Magic's Child
#88 -- Ellen Kushner, Thomas the Rhymer
#89 -- Guy Gavriel Kay, The Summer Tree
#90 -- Guy Gavriel Kay, The Wandering Fire

If anyone wants to hear about any of those, you may have to ask. Because I am not gonna catch up on a book report backlog that big.
5) Braindeath. Actually, most of what I've been doing this week is having braindeath.
Ba-da-bee-ba-da-beeee--- That's all folks!
*You thought I was gonna say 'pants', didn't you? Feelthy!
