Books and things

[cornerofmadness]

I had to run back up to Jackson for the covid shot AND I forgot to get cash for the con. I'm doing so great. My motivation to do anything is at a min and I'm going to freak out in a few days when I have to go back to Pittsburgh and everything is still a damn mess.

I was also going to Jackson to mail gifts. Guess who forgot gifts?



Advent Joy It's a way of doing something good for yourself and others over advent (it doesn't seem to do alt text)

Today was draw something to relax. I'm not an artist but Angel Dust said 'draw me, Dana.' So I put a pencil (and then a sharpie) in the nerve damaged hand. He came out better than I thought (pilot design) so here he is



Advent Tea (Simpson and Vail) - Sour Strawberry Lemonade rooibos tisane (caffeine free). Okay wish there was less herbals already... this is tasty BUT if you hadn't told me it was strawberry lemonade I'd never have guessed it.

What I Just Finished Reading:

Devour - a graphic novel using west African folklore in an urban fantasy setting I was let down a little by the twist

What I am Currently Reading:

Minstrels in the Galaxy (the SF anthology I'm in)

Wormwood - Susan Albert Witting oddly set in KY instead of TX
Blue Baby - FBI procedural ( a master class in how to have zero setting)


What I Plan to Read Next: working thru a bunch of mystery paperbacks to get them out of here.

I hate when I go someplace for specific things and forget those things.

Wow, you did great! I hope I don't have to draw something, lol!

[cornerofmadness]

I'm good at it too

Thanks, ha. I didn't mind the drawing (or I'd have spun the wheel for a new prompt!)

Oh, I love your cute drawing of Angel Dust!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. I think his hair and expression came out well for someone who hasn't drawn anything (that wasn't a cell in class) in years

[suzume]

I have to agree with you! It is a nice drawing!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks
