I’ve been reading the A Girl and her Fed webcomic the past week or so, which has the usual effect of making me want to do a little webcomic of my own. It in particular, though, has made me vaguely think perhaps I’m not, IDK, weird enough to pull off what I want to do. Like, ok. Girl. Fed. Cyborg conspiracies. Gotcha. I could probably get that far on my own. Ghost of Benjamin Franklin? Look, I’m sorry, I wouldn’ta thought of that. Hyper-sapient koala? NOPE. ‘Fraid not. Checking out…
Recent Reads: The Freddy Pilkington-Soames Adventures, by Clara Benson – a pretty satisfying period-piece murder mystery series I picked the first book up as a free book on Kobo, and it did its job: I have now read the entire series, and have another book by the same author in another series to start.

Picoreview: What Happens Later – not what I was expecting. editor’s note: I saw this last Decemberish, and while writing up another picoreview realized I hadn’t posted my picoreview of it here, so I’m doing that now, as if it was a new watch. :) ~~~~ I only heard about this a few days ago: on the surface, it appeared to be a Meg Ryan romcom with David Duchovny as the leading man, which, well: I figured it was either going to be quite wonderful or quite terrible. It was…
I spent basically the entire weekend playing PokemonGo, and it was GREAT. :D Please know that I do not expect many of the following words, in these sequences, to mean much to most people. :D It was the PokemonGoFest weekend, and I got in the region of 2 million XP, which is an extremely large amount for me. I am T R Y I N G to reach 50th level in this wretched game because, see, I do not play video games, and I never level out in them on…
