My vision has changed enough that it’s been really hard to read regular print books anymore. I need some kind of magnifier to do so, and it’s really a pain to do that for very long. Ebooks let me magnify the font enough that I can read them much more easily. But I have the same frustration, that a lot of books are only in print form, and I can’t figure out how to get them onto an e-reader. Good luck in your quest, and please let us all know if you figure out how to do it

Will do. Because yes, it sucks that the e-book market is so much more limited. On the other hand, there are a lot of free e-books out there to get, so that is something.

shadowc44 replied to your post: When are TLOS t-shirts supposed to arrive? I want...

Supposedly 14-18 days after the campaign ends (June 21), so I think that means by this coming Saturday, or Monday (the 10th) at the latest. That’s if everything went well. I hope you can wear yours when you see Chris!!!

Thank you!!! I can’t believe I didn’t write down the delivery date. I’ll make sure to post a pic when it finally arrives!

shadowc44 replied to your post: forget about jumping the shark

Is it fair to say you think it completely sucked? I’ve been trying to avoid spoilers, but sounds like maybe reading a recap or summary would be a better use of my time. Especially since The Librarians is on at the same time tonight.

It’s pretty bad, especially the beginning. It doen’t feel like a sherlock episode much - it’s rushed and the acting is pretty bad. The effects aren’t very special - in fact, some are laughable. There is a theory going around that the leaked episode is not a real episode, but something created to prevent the big rug pull of the real episode from leaking. I don’t know - I haven’t been impressed so far with the episodes this season - they’ve felt off as well. 

So we’ll know in a few hours. I’m hoping it’s fake, b/c otherwise it’s gone from a 4.5 to 5 star show to a 1. 5. Also, the main character was Mycroft - I stg he had more screentime than Sherlock and John combined. But...it’s such a huge thing to do just for a ‘gotcha’ moment. As you can see, I’m really ambivalent. 

I say watch the first 10 minutes - if you are laughing at the ridiculousness of it all...time to change the channel and watch when you can. 

Hope this helps.

Sorry everything’s going so badly! But I find Leverage to be a pretty good way to escape from real life.

Leverage is the best. With some good ice-cream and a pot of quality tea it only gets better. Do I wish my nose wasn’t leaking like a broken faucet? Sure. But, I don’t have a fever, I should be able to finish out the week at work before my vacation, and I should probably be okay for said vacation.

Also Leverage.

And some of my friends rescheduled seeing Rogue One, so we’re going Christmas Day instead.

All in all, not too shabby.

shadowc44 replied to your post “Glee 305 scrap”

Ooh! Curious to see where this was going. Surely not a crisis of conscience? Cool idea.

Crisis of conscience? To have one of those you actually have to have a conscience, so nope, Bland’s out. The premise for this one was a lot more sinister, actually.

This could go a lot of interesting places! I’ve often wondered how much better Kurt’s S3+ would have been if Bland had never transferred or had just done one of those famous Glee disappearing acts. As for Rachel? *smack*

Oh my goodness... Everyone’s S3 would have gone so much better without Bland. If Trollphy hadn’t been so eager to get all on that lighthouse himself maybe we’d have had a tolerable s4 & 5, even. Who knows, we might not have all fled like rats of a sinking pestilence-ridden ship?

This is one of those scraps that I have a full-length story outline for, mentally, but am very much uncertain I’ll come around to writing. I’m sooo stalled on my WIPs, and so committing to anything else feels rather dumb.

It is probably one of the most likely outlines for me to work with once I have the time and energy though (and the WIPs are done) so I’m not pronouncing it dead in any way.

@shadowc44 It's more than possible that it's mostly computerised by now. It's not, I think, here but still. An actual human being wrote a code in sharpie on the package and taped on a "return to sender" sticker, and basically there's where my "do your best" attitude fizzles. Seriously, I've done jobs I've hated, and I've always felt that you still try - especially when it impacts others.
