Hello! I hope you all had a lovely day yesterday, no matter the reason, even if it was just a particularly rainy Tuesday. And now it's a particularly lovely rainy Wednesday, and in precisely one week I'll be sitting back at my desk, scowling at the world. I'll try not to scowl but I have a work email I got last Friday that I'm doing my best not to think about so I'll have a lot of scowls saved up by then, I think.

Anyway! My mom gave me a Kindle Fire HD, which I had no interest in (we had this discussion over my birthday so she said she didn't ask me this time because I would have said I wanted something else and she thinks I'll find this useful). Help? I don't know what to do with it besides watch West Wing episodes, which I discovered I could do last night (okay, so not totally useless to me now. I love the West Wing!). I kinda want to fulfill her idea of how useful this thing can be to me because she was so very excited about having bought it for me. Can I take over the world using this?

Can't find out today as slashababy is due and I'm not finished. I don't want to ask for an extension because I've been a mod before and because I don't think I'm going to become magically more inspired. I need to just finish what I've got because I think my worry over it is more in my head than what will actually come to pass (the recipient will hate it and Christmas will be ruined). I need coffee.

I also need a to do because if it's suddenly next Wednesday and I haven't done the things I wanted to do, I'm going to be massively disappointed with myself and no one needs to start off the year like that, right? Right. Straightening up. Making a to do. Finishing my slashababy. Watching West Wing.

Has anyone read Water for Elephants? Was it good? Was it soppy? I hate soppy. What I'd really like is some mysteries. Those are my favorites.
