aseThis week at work: evaluations, announcement of bonuses (actual numbers to be revealed next week), discovery that the interface on the Canon PS SX110 IS is way more intuitive than the last Canon I touched, student sort-of-intern originally hailing from Canada. Is talking really fast a particularly Canadian trait?
Dear internet, I have finished all 585 pages of Regenesis. There is so much I want to say about this book, but briefly: I still think Victoria Strassen was on to something. And this is an atevi novel with Ari as Bren. Since I don't like the atevi series, this is not a strong recommendation. Unless you like the atevi series, in which case, skip Cyteen and read about the household staff.
There's another cultural appropriation fight going on (iteration umpteen; I count it as a standing drama since WisCon 30, in 2006) and I have nothing particularly politic to say about it. I'd much rather pick apart Union's power structures, which will go in the Epic Regenesis Post of Epic.
Someday today I have to 1.) beat my laptop into submission, and 2.) call my grandmother, and 3.) figure what I'm eating next week.
