jmc_bks+ Posted over at WordPress for SBD.
+ Bought two Kindle books by Georgette Heyer. Probably wouldn't have but for the anniversary sale ($1.99 each!). Otherwise, I can respect her place in the development of the modern genre romance, but have not been impressed by the books I've read. Regency trads aren't my thing for the most part, Carla Kelly being the notable exception. And she seems to have left the subgenre behind.
- Why is Cobra Starship touring with Bieber? Granted, it's the South American leg of his tour, but still, I didn't realize they had a significant overlap of fans; I though CS's average fan was several years older. Eh, whatever sells tickets, I guess.
- Dear IT peeps: saying that I'm the SysAdmin for that system? Fine. But as a practical matter, I am only acting/holding the position until a new higher up is hired. I have NO IDEA how to do what you want. When I asked the retired person who used to do it, she said that task was explicitly given to IT. I'm sorry the person responsible is on vacation in Montana during your critical testing period, but that doesn't make me any more able to do what you want. No love, me.
~ Looking at the line up of authors who'll be attending the National Book Festival next month, there are very few (3 or 4) that I might be willing to wait in long lines to meet or have autograph books. And genre fiction is extremely poorly represented, as usual.
~ The BIA essentially said last week that aliens in custody don't have to get the immigration equivalent of Miranda. I...am not sure what I think about this. And while I'm probably conflating a lot of things, I'm curious about how this works in conjunction with Padilla.
