a slew of memes, too many memes

Nicked from hadesgirl, jlsjlsjls, tommdroid and kysmetkitty:

( oh no, not more pink! )

( strangely true? )

( so much for the underwear... )

( or not... )

( all back to mine! )

Now that that's taken care of....

Went out and played in the heat today. I got my oil changed/tires rotated/coolant replaced, but the a/c in my car is still dead. At least it will soon start cooling off!

Need to do some writing tonight, but first some reading and possible nap - I love hot eather but damn, it's wearing!

on the bedside stack....

Spent much of the day reading - it's so good to have the time to kick back!

The Introvert Advantage - lots of "aha" moments :) The book does a lot of reassuring the reader that they're normal, which reads excessive to me because I've never felt that being introverted is a particularly bad thing, even if I do feel at a loss for words sometimes. Worth reading, if only to figure out how to keep from burning out on good company!

Under the Black Flag - a layman's history of piracy, focusing on the Caribbean in the 17th-18th century. Shipboard life could be brutal, but was surprisingly democratic. The reality is far more interesting than the romance :)

Ethical Slut - still moving slowly on this one, to take notes. A lot to chew on here.
