Reading Update
Tales of Suspense: Hawkeye and the Winter Soldier by Rosenberg, Foreman, & Rosenberg. Dammit, Tumblr, I don’t even go here! D’oh. Yeah, I saw some snippets of this on Tumblr and was intrigued by the dynamic between Hawkeye and Bucky. Considering 99% of what I know about the Avengers is from Tumblr, it was pretty good. 😀
“I’m meeeeltingggggg…” -Mayhem
(Good thing we have wall air conditioners!)
Journaling Junkie’s words were pretty encouraging. I fell away from writing for a long time, and it’s been tough to get back into it.
Just curious, and sorry if I’m being nosy, but you used to post several times a week, and during my blog-reading hiatus, you’ve gone down to 2 (2 which are AWESOME). Why the shift?
Guess you guys are burning up just like us in NC; our AC is a lost cause at this point!
Re companies and data, I can’t access Tumblr now unless I allow them access to my data. For the first couple of weeks after the law changed I could use the ‘manage data’ buttons to access and opt out of data sharing and then carry on but now if even one of those opt out buttons is switched off then it just loops back and won’t let me through. (I clear my browsing data frequently which is why the options I chose at the beginning have to be re-entered.) So I don’t bother with Tumblr links or blogs any more because this has made me doubly determined that they shouldn’t have my data.
I need an article now on what convenient foods *are* acceptable on an airplane. I am crushed as I thought sushi would be OK. Maybe not salmon nigiri, but a harmless avocado California roll?
and OH MY LORD, the covers in cover snark this week! I just . . . cannot.
I don’t think there has ever been any doubt that I am a bookworm… even if I do spell it differently. 😉
I hope Miss May finds a way to beat the heat! It’s better than more snow though, right?
