escritoireazulBrief politics RE DeVos:
Me to my R Senator: *thoughtful commentary and criticism about DeVos*
R Senator: *stock response, with addition of how much he trusts her educational work*
R Senator publicly celebrates her confirmation.
Me to my R Senator: SHE FUCKING BOUGHT YOUR GODDAMN VOTE, MOTHERFUCKER, AND SOLD OUT YOUR FUCKING CONSTITUENTS AND WE ALL FUCKING KNOW IT
R Senator: *does not respond*
Me: FUCKING FUCK I FUCKING HATE HIM SO FUCKING MUCH
I have long loathed the man, but for some reason, I can't imagine why, lately my hate has gone white hot. It probably doesn't help that I've decided to start actually paying attention to his responses, when before I would just ignore him after contacting him. I should go back to that. It would be better for my health.
A meteor blazed over the midwest the other day. My immediate response was: PLEASE LET IT BE THE FIRST SALVO TO THE ALIENS TAKING US ALL OUT. #teamextinctionlevelcomet
Books:
Follow up on that post where I talked about Riordan's God's of Asgard books. Despite my complaints about the first one, I bought the second one the second I finished it, because in the end, he told a really compelling story and I loved the characters. I really enjoyed the second book, too, and am now left wanting the third. I think I will go back and read the rest of his books when I can find them on sale. Is this series Yuletide eligible, I wonder? I might want some fic for side characters.
In other book news, I read the Unfuck Your Habitat book, and was not as impressed as I hoped, since I love the online presence. It was interesting enough, I guess, but not something I think I will reread in the future. Similarly, I read Snowbirds by Crissa-Jean Chappell, which is a young adult Amish mystery, and while it was an entertaining read, I wanted to connect with it deeper than I did.
Riordan's books prompted a reread of Tessa Gratton's United States of Asgard series (it was super weird to see Fenris wolf be a dude in Riordan's books, I have to say, after my beloved Glory, who I totally adore).
I need to start another book that is new to me. Not sure what, though. Do you guys have any recommendations?
