Justice League Dark omnibus improved:
By page 1229ish we get an issue of Constantine where Nick and John kiss and Nick refers to John as 'Blood brother or lover' in the context of Read more... ) This after spending a while putting cigarettes out on John as part of a cunning plan to power up his magic.

I thought for the first thousand pages that fanfic was making way more of that up.

This is delightful and messy and I want to read all of it and then start again with a better idea of what to skip.

Second paragraph of third chapter:

It was a beautiful autumn day–the city glowed in the sunlight and the skies were that truly cloudless blue you never see back home. Sunshine is so precious here, though England is sunnier than I thought it would be, having been told so often about its greyness. I think it is because the greyness is so depressing that it makes the sunshine all the more spectacular.

A nice wee novella from Zen Cho, originally published way back in 2012 and being re-released this summer (I got an ARC from the author). It’s about a young Malaysian Chinese writer who moves to London in 1920 and has an affair with a chap who sounds very like H.G. Wells (indeed it starts with her critically reviewing one of his books, just like Rebecca West did to HGW). But she really has feelings for her Tamil editor; and pretty soon an extra complication looms… Told in diary form by the self-possessed and funny heroine, and well recommended. You can get The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo here, starting in July.

(Note: I will not generally review ARCs, please don’t send them to me if you don’t know me.)

Did u hear about the Rose that grew from a crack
in the concrete
Proving nature's laws wrong it learned 2 walk
without having feet
Funny it seems but by keeping its dreams
It learned 2 breathe fresh air
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
When no one else even cared!

I think I'm up to page 1200 in this Justice League Dark omnibus
and the religion stuff is... a lot, but interesting enough.

I am glad to be reading though
because Nick Necro is back
and it is deliciously fucked up shippy again.

Here's a collage I did with some of my new stuff. The theme is PINK! Which is also an indirect poison reference--they poison themselves, John!

My check-in: Another conference day, which meant another early morning, which meant another morning of editing while I waited for my coffee to brew. But I managed to send the story to beta before I took myself off to learn about transportation policy*, so we'll call that a success.

(*A far more engaging topic than it sounds like!)

interviews? plural? what?

Yesterday I applied to a bunch of jobs, most of which I figured I wouldn't hear back from, and then... I did? One was an email saying, hey you meet the basic qualifications for this job, we're putting you on a possibilities list but that's no guarantee of a job. Sure, fine, whatever. And then a couple of hours later, they CALLED? And asked if I wanted to interview next week? So, uh, yes? That's with the county, doing extra help for the elections in June. It may be one day, it may be more, I have no idea, there were a couple of different possibilities with that application.

The second one is the Second Look team with my tax job - we basically offer a service to our new/skipper clients where we get transcripts of prior year returns from the IRS and go over them to see if anything had been missed, if there's anything that we could have done better, and then let the clients know what we found and let them decide if they want to amend, etc. It would be an excellent way for me to gain a LOT of experience in a short amount of time, and possibly pick up some online clients too. AND it basically runs from July to December, full time, remote, which means I could stop looking for another job at least for this year? And if they continue to do this team each year, maybe I could keep doing it? And survive? And have myself a two month break every year and still live?

Trying not to count chickens, because grandboss seemed to think I had an infinitesimal chance of getting the job, and I really don't have as much experience as they would like, but I think my manager already talked to them? So....? Fingers crossed, anyway. And hey, who knows, maybe I won't enjoy this part of the job as much.

I also got my unemployment application in today. Now I'm kinda hoping all that effort will be wasted, haha.

I did this for Earth Day (yesterday). I went back to the library and took another 2 little scrolls of poems and this is the one that Minisculus got. I don't know who Alec is.

Earlier today, I overheard someone saying that she ate "like a pig" last night, largely for her having eaten ice cream. I wanted to make a joke about acorns or truffles, but decided against it on the grounds that I knew she wouldn't know what I was talking about.

It did get me thinking, though, and it had me fairly pleased to find out that acorn ice cream is a thing people do - not on any commercial scale, but individual restaurants and kitchens. I'd thought it might taste malty, and all the descriptions provided agree with that.

I highly doubt I'll get a chance to try it anytime soon, but knowing it already exists is good enough for tonight.

[personal profile] fuzzyred is hosting a pool for the half-price sale in Polychrome Heroics. Comment on that post to join the pool.

My main targets will be all of the Shiv poems and "Our Homemade Safety Nets." If there is more interest, I would like to contribute to the open epic "No Faster or Firmer Friendships," then possibly Rutledge poems if people are interested.
[---8<---]
If there is a specific poem you would like, let me know, and it can be added to the pool goals.
